There is already a subdivision for D1. It's called the FCS.

BS call giving them an extra second.

Underwood is horrendous. How he get $12.5 million guaranteed? WMU will be a problem for the rest of the MAC this year.

I feel it's a bit overstated how competitive the MAC is in these games. Looking at week 1 only Toledo and UMass played a competitive 4 quarters against P4. Kent is down 43 points. Miami is down 31 points. Ball State is down 46 points. Ohio is down 21 points. Buffalo needed a goal line stand to beat an FCS teams. BG lost to Tarleton State.

Costco in North Canton has some Zips gear on sale. I picked up a hoodie and quarter zip today for ~$28/each.

Pretty disastrous first half, but we looked more competent in the 2nd half. Wake had their starters in until midway through the 4th quarter so it wasn't just because they took their foot off the gas.

Wake Forest has scored on each of their drives. The defense has to be able to force punts or turnovers. Wake has even helped them out a few times with false starts.

I'm not sure how you guys endure this season after season. I'm by no means a frontrunner. I've watched the Browns lose for decades, but at least they're competitive most games. This is just terrible to watch. We're on our way to get dog walked by Wake Forest. Meanwhile, projected MAC bottom dweller UMass is up 3 scores against a comparable Rutgers team.

I would say another 4-8 season would be the fireable offense, not this particular situation. Although even at 4-8 IDK if the program has money to pay a buyout while also paying for a new coach. A chance we would have to ride out the contract irregardless if it doesn't pan out.

When your a program like Akron, who has the 2nd lowest football budget in all of FBS, you have to take chances. Even if they thought there was a 50% chance of getting him another year, but viewed him as a massive upgrade over any other player they could have potentially landed it would be worth the risk. Right now Akron basketball, based off Rothstein tweet, has 2 players seeking a 5th year of eligibility. Both of which would probably be Zips starters next season if they get a 5th year. That said, if both get denied then I don't think anyone would try to claim that as a fireable offense for Dustin Ford.

Yes, I have seen some box openings that were very elaborately put together in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if we decided to send it because the promotion went viral and Gruden bought a ticket/promoted the event. We just put in what we had available at the time. It was a bit discouraging that he had to spend so much time talking about the city and other things outside the football program as frankly we don't have the volume of historical talent that many other programs have produced.

Weird, I thought we were at the roster cap already. Wonder what this means for the rest of the roster.

End the tyranny!!!

So many other things to complain about with the younger generation, but this doesn't seem to be one of those hills worth dying on.

My guess was it was Arby's, but they didn't want to commit 6 figures each year for the next 3-5 years so they brokered sponsoring the promotion specifically as that's what they really wanted to have their named attached to anyways.

Considering the first game is 2 days away it would seem likely that jersey deal never materialized. Assuming Wendy's was the national company that reached out about it originally they must have opted into a less expensive, or at least shorter term deal, to get naming rights to the campaign along with likely some signage. At this stage I'm not sure why they just wouldn't try to sell it to Kaulig at a discounted rate for 1 year to both show their appreciation for his contributions over the years and to buy themselves some time to find a longer term sponsor. Some money is better than no money.

Honestly, I wasn't disappointed by it. It just jumped out to me. The alternative would likely be paying a Bucknell caliber team ~$70K to come to the JAR, which wouldn't really excite me anyways. I suppose it's just an extra $70K we can spend elsewhere.

Road game at Bucknell is an odd choice. Historically that's the type of team we have bought home games from in the past.

His status is probably up in the air due to the court battles.

I think it depends on how badly they beat up on one another. Like a 1 loss champion from MWC, PAC-12, or SunBelt will likely always beat out a 3 loss champion from the AAC.

It looks like Tulane is coming to the JAR on November 14th.

Edit: Wrong thread

Toledo just released theirs a day or two ago. They play both Michigan and Michigan State. I would think ours should be released any day now. Then again I've been saying that for like 2 weeks.
