Remember a few years ago when Colgate went up 17-0 on the Zips? They need to play well or this could be an absolute disaster losing to them.

This team should not take anyone lightly! They better be ready to play or they could easily lose on Saturday. I’m sure Duquesne is looking at this as a great opportunity to get a win against an FBS team.

I would agree it makes more sense for football but the problem is classes. Most schools start 2nd semester until early to mid January so kids needs to be enrolled. If they aren’t enrolled for 2nd semester then they can’t participate in spring practice.

Heard Adams was a disciplinary scratch last week, maybe he was still in the doghouse?

I really don’t think so, I’m sure he would get a power five OC job easily. Despite what we think, he is still very well respected as a good offensive mind. Akron’s budget (or lack thereof), lack of any NIL money, and overall lack of hope actually works in his favor because all coaches know how hard it is to win here. They know he’s in a hopeless situation so his value isn’t diminished.

I think Joe walks away on his own after the season. He’s failed and he’s frustrated. He has no money to recruit, smallest budget in D1, no training table, etc etc. He can go somewhere else and make the same money, or more, as an OC. He resigns soon after the last game.

Is that past your bedtime?

I think the offense finally wakes up today but unfortunately, the defense gives up too many big plays and the Zips fall, 27-17. I really hope I’m wrong but until they actually prove that they can win, I’m very skeptical.

I’ll just leave you with some advice - although it’s clearly too late today

Yet another intelligent comeback , good job. You have the mental maturity of a 6th grader. Are you that deprived of attention in your real life that you just have to stir the pot and say ridiculous things on a message board?

I rest my case…ignorant

😂😂 you are so clueless and lose all credibility in your football knowledge when you make ignorant statements like this! Unbelievable

I agree with you, I always root for MAC teams playing power 5 teams. It helps the conference immensely when they win. I just think it’s ironic that now you are so loyal yet say Akron couldn’t beat a high school team.

So now you are defending the MAC and calling someone a wussy for shitting on their own conference when all you can do is crap on your own team?? You are the 🤡

Did anyone else think that it was shitty that Nebraska was still throwing the ball well into the 4th quarter? Just saw a clip that Rhule was pissed that Akron moved the ball before half and didn’t take a knee.

Can we get a running clock?

Some great stops but they’ve already given up 220 yards

Does anyone know if Patrick is cleared to play?

Yet the football team is the only one bringing in any revenue. Didn’t they bring in close to 4 million last year by playing Rutgers, SC, and Ohio State? Where is the athletic budget without that cashflow? Yet the football program has no training table, no money to recruit, etc etc. Appears to be a sinking ship

UAB won but gave up 42 to Alabama State. Very good chance that we head into this game looking for our first points on the season. Good to know that the UAB defense isn’t the 85 Bears.

Random thoughts from the pillow fight that I watched last night: - Finley‘s interception in the end zone was atrocious. Those are the type of decisions that lose games. - overall, I was happy to see that it was a relatively smart game for Akron. Not that many stupid penalties, personal files, etc.. - obviously, the defense played well. More specifically, I thought they tackled really well. - as usual, I think we abandoned the run game too quickly, especially as inaccurate as Finley was last night - I don’t understand why we don’t run more two tight end sets. Especially, since we have some tight ends that have proven they can catch the ball - glad to see we are rotating punters, smart move because at this rate, their feet will get very sore
