FWIW. It's finals week.

Did Rodriguez get fired as well. There was some talk me might stay.

We need "Basketball Grandma" to explain to us about how Groce has his favorites and only they get the playing time. 😇

Xavier mentioned in his post game interview that he met Groce while Groce was at Illinois and that's why he turned to Akron when UCF collapsed. That differentiates him from KJ.

Loose ball, pile on near Akron bench, Ali at bottom of pile I think. Benches come at each other. Groce stares down Southern coach. Words exchanged. Double technical ok benches. Maybe one on Trimble and Southern guy

Think I saw him at the basketball game

Rowdies are awesome!!!

I don't think Southern will be invited back

I guess scheduling Southern serves a purpose but this is brutal. Down by 15 Southern amped it up exponentially. Zips will learn from this I hope. 11 minutes left...ugh.

Southern going to make this a looooonnnggg game. Hack a thon.

Finally, a traveling call against Southern. WVU game prepared Zips for this.

Southern known for being very aggressive and fouling like crazy until the refs tell them to stop

I like the script Akron. And the men's uniforms are all script Akron, so appears to be the branding. Problem with the Z was that it didn't mean anything. Was the first letter of Zip. I really hated the all black basketball uniform with the Z on it

Yes, I turned on the game and was aghast. These are similar to the basketball uniforms the "school of design" created for Mr. Pinky's team.

UCLA's ugly younger sister.

They are just decals that can be switched out.

WTF? Well, I will blame it on finals week or something. There are most 7pm games even on New Years Day.

I truly hope they revamp the entire game day experience.

ZI PS!

Brilliant. The past was filled with lazy and apathetic hiring. There are few more of those coaches at Akron. They won't last long

Coach Moorhead, let us introduce you to your press corps.

Thanks PDT and GP. I rather thought the same thing about Utah. They play much better than their ranking. The announcers said they switched QBs after the two early losses. Anyway...welcome Coach Moorhead.

It's official. https://gozips.com/news/2021/12/4/football-joe-moorhead-named-university-of-akron-head-football-coach.aspx Who gets honor of the welcome coach moorhead thread?

I love the 7pm Saturday night games!! Groce mentioned in his post-game interview that they scheduled more Saturday night games this season. But I guess that only lasts until ESPN tells them they. have to play at Noon on a Saturday.

Quick question to those with a higher football IQ than I have: Until this board starting going off on Milwee and wanting him fired, I thought the responsibility for all that happened on the field fell on the head coach. Why fire the O.C? Ultimately, doesn't the buck stop with the coach? Over the last few weeks, I wondered what is the role of the head coach during the game as opposed to the OC or DC? For example, last night instead of running out the clock in the first half Oregon kept passing the ball which led to the QB making a terrible decision by throwing the ball into traffic and getting intercepted. Clearly, no one told the QB to make that stupid pass, but whose decision would it normally be to try for a score as opposed to taking a knee, licking your wounds, and regrouping?
