This looks like a political “they aren’t paying their fair share” argument when in reality no other teams (except maybe men’s basketball) are paying their fair share! They lost their training table? Please explain

Ok, this is a big step forward. He’s got on Akron gear this time - granted, it’s the old script logo but this is a move in the right direction! Maybe we still need one more big check from Rutgers to get him totally updated. Seriously though, thanks for posting this, it’s good to get some insight on what is going on with the program

I get your point but those are ridiculous comparisons. Your two examples are a major stadium renovation and a new stadium being built. Both of those take year(s). This is a scoreboard that absolutely should be done by first home game. Maybe there’s a good excuse but I haven’t heard one yet

Well, I think I pretty much nailed this prediction, missed it by one field goal. Having said that, the game was different. I thought OSU would get out to a quick 35-0 lead and win on a first round TKO, that didn’t happen. I thought the Zips played really well. The defense looks really solid. Even some of the Buckeyes big pass completions were just great plays on some good pass coverage. Offense struggled but hard to really get a gage on them while playing against one of the best defenses in the country. Overall, I saw a lot of good signs of progress. They need to battle against Rutgers. This needs to be a close game. Go Zips!

Here is an updated depth chart but not sure how accurate is - shows Bullock starting at qb. Unless maybe they plan on starting him this week so they can do a lot of running from the qb?? https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/akron/89900

Maybe he won’t get any Akron gear until Monday morning when that $1.8 million dollar check clears?

Hope our fighting Hawaii Polo’s play hard and have a good game!

What dicks!

Must be becuase they are playing Ohio state .

Well there you have it, our 1:47 worth of media coverage for the summer. 😀

So how about some strategy for this game? I think the only question is will we cover the 50.5 spread? In my opinion the Zips will really struggle to run the ball so Joe will attempt a lot of quick, short passes to avoid sacks. Hopefully most of these don’t hit the ground and the clock keeps running while picking up some first downs. I just can’t see them scoring on this defense unless it’s a busted play. Hoping for a few stops and/or turnovers on defense while the Buckeyes offense gets untracked. Zips get a late field goal to make the final score 52-3. Take the Zips plus the points! Just hoping we come out healthy for week 2.

Does the team put out a depth chart prior to the games?

The Akron football Twitter and Instagram accounts actually do a pretty good job of posting a lot of pictures and videos but there is zero coverage in regards to what is actually happening. It would be nice to see a few interviews with some coaches or players. It’s unbelievable how little the ABJ does to cover this team. I’m not asking for a daily report but maybe one every few weeks??

Looks like a different stripe pattern and added white pants, looks good

Probably a stupid question but has there been any media coverage whatsoever about camp yet? Any interviews with Joe? Anything at all??

Have they started work on the new scoreboard yet?

Does anyone know when practices actually start?

I don’t disagree but it’s just sad that the new era of college football is killing one of the oldest rivalries in the country. Who would have ever thought Ohio State and Oregon would be playing a conference game this year??

Here’s yet another bad thing about college football these days - screw tradition. It says Miami is opting out but not why. You’d have to assume it’s money (like everything else). Maybe Cincinnati can’t provide them the big payday that a Big 10 or SEC team could pay for one of their out of conference games? https://www.si.com/college/cincinnati/football/report-battle-for-the-victory-bell-rivalry-coming-to-an-end-01j3r96d99t2?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR15mPYNgxhgggPuhfE-aJyVWIA-eBQDNWnM9y2rPgydCoozVbZtNxRppr8_aem_7o2gE_jfBOd6DBw6Xf65cQ

Yes, it’s been noted. He will have a hard time ever seeing the field at Oklahoma if he had a hard time making the depth chart at Akron.

Mr Negative strikes again. I’ve been to games at Toledo and the only thing different is that they have been winning for a long time which translates into better crowds…which translates into better atmosphere….which translates into better experience. Akron has a great stadium, if they start winning it will be a fun atmosphere.

That’s some serious weight that those hogs are throwing around 🐖

Looks like the boys were treated to a little cookout today

What was “his issue”? I assume grades?

JoeMoe was making a million a year as an OC also, but I agree, not many are willing to take that pay cut
