That was a crazy 7OT game to watch.

I really agree with that type of scheduling. The instant gratification to the bottom line is very short sited by these AD's and Presidents. It really sets the program back as we just seen with the damage Larry Williams and rotation of presidents. There wear tear to the roster, the mentality of the program, not to mention 1 game is big to your bowl eligibility. Not just if your eligible or not but that 1 win can move you up a bowl tear with higher payouts. The impact they have on recruiting because those "marquee games" are the games they are guaranteed to see. I do have faith in our current leadership as they seem to get it but for now they are paying for the sins of the past. One other point he made that really hit home was when we was talking about expansion. You don't have to go after a major market if you can find a big fish in a small market. He said when he was in the WAC he looked at the paper in Boise that Boise State football was always on the front page. When he was at the SunBelt and they were looking at expanding, App St. looked a lot like the Boise model and when you open the paper in Boone that it was always about App St football. It's hard to be the team that is always buried on page 7 of your sports section. We have fought that battle with the nonAkron Beacon for a long time.

Full Ride is awesome. I always go back and listen on demand if I miss it. As I watched the end of Georgia Southern vs Nebraska, I was thinking Full Ride is going to be fun on Monday.

The amount of commercial breaks was ridiculous. We got the momentum at the end of the 3rd. The kids were all excited on the side lines and the fans were into it. After only 2.03 of game time to start the 4th and there was already 8 min of commercial breaks, the momentum was gone. I think the audio/visual issues probably made this worse. There was no fill during the breaks. In today's age, this isn't an expectable game experience. The stadium looked really good. There was a real new feel to it. The firework show after the game was great. I was actually impressed.

Another tip. After you save and open your tickets, take a screen shot of the ticket with the QR Code. You can then easily text the tickets, and or parking pass to anyone in your group, rather than using the app.

iRacing has 3rd party website for paint scheme design that makes it easier BUT it still is tedious. I had to cut out each letter in the Akron Zips to be able to place a transparent logo where I wanted it. The Akron Zips brand guide said to use "rubik" font but even with that, I couldn't get an exact match. The sim racing paint schemes have got so advanced that Kaulig Racing and many other teams are using a young guy to design their schemes that got his start just sim designing named Noah Sweet.

It's hard to add pics so here is a link to more https://twitter.com/KnippNick/status/1560751003305115652?t=TlvV_W6D7gVskhFzUCrh8A&s=19

A little paint project I have been working on for my sim racing

Great in-depth article on Media day. .... ..

Without Crum, Kent will fall back to earth and with how much Coach JoeMo takes pride in his rival record, there is no way we lose to them this year.

I didn't know where else to put this but a name in this article made me throw up a little in my mouth. Rest In Peace the career of Arch Manning. It was over before it got started. Pack away that NIL $ https://www.yahoo.com/news/explaining-5-star-qb-arch-212558870.html

I thought that was a great listen. I think he will be instrumental in the building of a "team" atmosphere and accountability of the players between themselves.

I don't know if any have brought in someone better than what they have lost but Toledo has always been able to reload and find another staff to continue winning. Toledo Tom Amstutz is the only coach they have had since Lord Saban left that didn't get hired away excluding current coach Candle Candle's updated numbers 45-27 .625% CMU went from Brian Kelley to Butch Jones.

As I have said many times. Good programs have their coaches hired away, We fire ours. It would be nice to have one warrant consideration for a bigger job. That said, I want my cake and eat it too. Here is to decades of JoeMo and winning seasons.

+1 When I go back and look at old videos or pics I wonder every time why we went with that ugly yellow

This is the one I was looking for. I appreciate the responses

in a related / unrelated question. Does anyone have a jpg or png of the old moving A (flying A)? We always called it the moving A back in the day but when we did the throw back jersey a few years ago, they called it the flying A. Its impossible to find one on the internet. I have copies of all the other logo's but that one. I wanted to use it for my throw back paint scheme on iRacing but was unsuccessful in finding an image of the logo.

This was something that stuck out to me. He hit every attempt right down the middle. I remember the last spring game in the house, we lined up for a game "winning" field goal and it was missed. Bowden had them re-line up with the other kicker. He then proceeded to miss it left as well. That was definitely a precursor for the kicking issues to come. During the halftime break, Cory took 3 attempts from the 50. He made 1 and missed the other 2 just short. They were all right down the middle. He was looking very accurate. We will see what happens when he actually has pads on, out in the elements and there is actually something on the line.

I would of preferred the stadium on a nice day but that is a crap shoot. I'm concerned will the surplus sale only starting an hour before the game. That doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room. That said it will be hop'n on campus Saturday. FOOTBALL (STILE ATHLETICS FIELD HOUSE) • Saturday (April 30) - 3 p.m. • Gates open at 1:30 p.m. with fans asked to enter via the Akron Recreation Center ATHLETICS SURPLUS SALE (INFOCISION STADIUM-SUMMA FIELD) • Saturday (April 30) - 2 p.m. BASEBALL (SKEELES FIELD) • Saturday (April 30) vs. Kent State (DH-7/9 innings) - Noon SOFTBALL (JACKSON FIELD) • Saturday (April 30) vs. Miami (DH-7/7 innings) - 1 p.m. LACROSSE (INFOCISION STADIUM-SUMMA FIELD) • Saturday (April 30) vs. Central Michigan - 12 pm

from time to time, I would play as UCF vs UAB. You would have a bunch of knights fighting against a bunch of dragons.

Did anyone else come across this in the UA online store https://uakron.spirit.bncollege.com/akron-zips/sweatshirts/t-34139922+d-20116721+z-989-2058985416?pageSize=72&sortOption=TopSellers

This script A looks familiar 🤔
