At the event today, script Akron covering the table, on the football helmet and on the podium.

There are some large bonuses and incentives in the contract

Comparing the two men, Arth and Moorhead the words "confidence" md "decisiveness " come to mind.

Coach talked about filling the seats but it will be hard when the only question from the local paper was...."Does it feel any different here than it did 17 years ago?" OTOH, at least we don't have Bob Dyer writing columns running down Moorhead and Guthrie.

they play at Cincy the following night at 7pm. They probably want to get on the road as soon as they can.

The Zips fell into this one!!

I'm sure he has a laptop and maybe two smartphones.

It was a women's sport, so he likely didn't care too much. same with his hire for Women's basketball. He didn't put any effort into it or expect excellence.

Not sure who that guy is but at 5 minutes you will hear Groce lavish praise on my favorite Zip, Greg Tribble.

I knew what you meant. But, hey, why not reach for the stars?! Excitement is building.

I was speaking of KJ Walton not LC Jackson. KJ wasn't a 3 point specialist.

I think it was that Illinois game when I sensed something was horribly wrong. Now as for @LoyalZip and his plan to sell suites during the Spring game...really reaching for the stars.

Jesus!

Terrible is too light of an adjective.

Akron's staff has to be about 1/3 to 1/2 of that?

Found this at the bookstore. Serious branding issues.

More of a privilege than a right to post on here. They need to rebrand the entire football program and game day experience.

I would take the Zips (basketball) over the Browns. 11am on on Sunday? I think this was a logistical nightmare game that is a one off. Yeah, I do think they should be playing after the women's game. The Radford game is at 7, and I like the New Years Day game at 7. I wonder if these MAC games are starting early (12/29 and 1/1) just in case there is a "you know what" issue and rescheduling is needed. @LetsGoZips mentioned the Florida debacle. Look at the offense over the last 5 games: 43 45 69 86 79

Groce politely mentioned the importance of graduation, etc. But when he praises something other than a player, I often think he is biting his tongue and just being diplomatic. I think covid, more than the masks, will keep some away or gave them an excuse not to renew. Most of the usuals in my section are back, but I can count about 12 who I haven't seen this year.

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
