  1. Caden Clark is actually a redshirt freshman this year, you have him listed as a sophomore
  2. I was at the game on Saturday and I was surprised how much updated/new logo merchandise that they had in the pro shop in the stadium. They had a great selection of everything - hats, shirts, sweatshirts etc. Way better selection than the student center gift shop. Now the price...that's another story, if it has the swoosh on it it won't be cheap.
  3. That looks great, break those out this week with navy pants and white jersey 🔥
  4. These are all D1 schools that all get 85 scholarships. Even many FCS schools with only 65 scholarships make the jump and play D1 powerhouses. The biggest negative factor right now is that Akron is bad, and has been bad for a long time. That is our problem. When you lose 52-0 or 63-6 I would agree with you, that is no fun and a waste of time. But how about if you’re Kent and you lose 39-22 vs the number 1 ranked team? Or if you’re Miami and beat Northwestern this year? Or if you’re Eastern Michigan and you beat Arizona State this year? Etc etc. Bottom line is that we need to get better and these games will make more sense.
  5. Every year MAC teams beat power 5 schools and often times they are competitive. Grow a pair and play them once or twice a year. When did JoeMo say he doesn’t want to play these schools?
  6. Agree, shoot for the stars. I know it doesn't happen very often but look what PJ Fleck did at Western Michigan taking them to a New Years group of 6 bowl game, almost beating number 8 Wisconsin. I don't know if Joe can pull in enough talent at Akron to repeat that but he's certainly a good enough coach to say it's possible.
  7. Zips are undefeated in gold helmets and 0-4 in white helmets...just sayin'
  8. -The MAC schools get much needed money for their program. -The players want to play on the big stage against the best competition, on bigtime TV networks and love the thrill of pulling off the major upset. -The P5 schools get their win...usually. -The MAC fans love to travel to these big venues to watch their team play in front of 80,000+. I would much rather travel to watch them play at Kentucky, or Indiana, or Tennessee than Buffalo or Central Michigan etc. Sure it sucks when it's a beatdown like the Zips got this year but as they improve they will compete.
  9. Students barely come to home games, they aren’t going to travel to Toledo. Keep P5’s on the schedule, it’s good for everyone.
  10. This is good crap right here. I believe in this guy. He’s a great coach, a great guy, and is committed to building this program. It’s an uphill battle with a program that has been down for so long but I think he can do it. We all want immediate results but it’s a process. Everyone needs to grab a friend and drag them to the games, change is coming!
  11. I feel some momentum
  12. Very even - except rushing yards
  13. Who was it?
  14. 5/6 for Liberty so far
  15. I tried, didn’t work. Appreciate it though
  16. I give up trying to find a source to watch it unless someone has a link to share? Can’t find it
  17. Still waiting on that first TD vs a D1 opponent....hopefully soon
  18. Its so frustrating seeing all these other MAC schools playing competitive against the big boys and the Zips haven't even put up a fight yet. The start of this game is not good and feels like here we go again.
  19. Probably parents
  20. I have no morals ....so either way!
  21. Is there anywhere to watch the game online if you don't get espn+??
  22. Jumping ahead, but BG plays at Mississippi State this week, lets hope they get physically beat up before they head to Akron for October 1 game. These out of conference games are interesting but we really need to see some progress for the program against MAC opponents.
  23. lol...i read that wrong!
  24. Kent has a tougher first four games: at Washington, at Oklahoma, at Georgia and home vs LIU
