Yes you did. There were CONSTANT facemask penalties being committed by OSU, only 1 was called if I remember correctly.

That INT would have been game changing though...

Yup that same year. I'm pretty sure the Pitt game was the highlight...🙄

Ah...remember the good ol' days of 2014...

With Ohio sitting at 0-3 it appears (at least to me, in my opinion...) that Frank Solich may have been the guy holding that place together. This perhaps underscores for us Zips fans the importance of continuity within our program.

Holy Crow... 14-14 against an FCS team in the 3rd quarter.

Unfortunately I must agree.

Absolutely 100% true. This describes what happened to me.

Unfortunately I have to agree. We all had hope that Tom Arth would be able to work some logical recruiting magic and perhaps turn-around Terry's sputtering program. But perhaps we're witnessing Akron's saturation point.

I think you answered your own question...

And how exactly has Arth Faired? The hatred towards Bowden by some is just...astoundingly sad. Most successful D-1 Coach Akron has had. Sad day.

Like you're defending the firing of Bowden by calling him an "average coach" yet...are we average now? The primary argument for why Akron fields D-1 sports is the "advertising" dollars. Akron literally just played Auburn. How much press did Akron get from Tom Arth playing Auburn vs. what Akron would have had with Terry Bowden at the helm? You can't seriously make the argument that it was better. Average or not, Terry Bowden had a "name" and in college football that objectively matters more in terms of the state goal of advertising $$$. It also is objectively true that firing a coach with years left on his contract when your college is strapped for cash is not the brightest idea. Seriously, how can you defend such a poor decision? I doubt anyone would argue that Terry should have been extended again...but fired with 2 years left? Are we any better off in those two years than if Terry was here? I wish Terry and Arth luck, but good gravy.

I root for the Zips...I'm also not delusional enough to think that the Zips won't be down by multiple scores to Auburn in Q1. I root for the Zips and can reliably predict with a high degree of confidence that the Zips will be down by multiple scores in Q1 when they play OSU later this month. You're kidding yourself it you think that won't be true for a game they are getting paid $1.8-millions to play... GO Zips.

Akron Vs. Northwestern 2018 is on Youtube.

You can root for the Zips, and still be realistic. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Go Zips.
