Don’t hate this but not a big fan of it either. I think a new logo, or any Akron branding, should include a kangaroo. Such a unique mascot with so many branding opportunities to use but the new “A” totally disregarded it.

Confirmed on his X page. I think this will significantly increase the possibly that Joe is not the coach here next year. Either he resigns or is let go by new AD. The big problem is timing. How quickly can they hire somebody new and then the new AD and Joe need to determine if they are a good fit for each other. That all needs to happen pretty quickly based on the recruiting/transfer portal cycle.

Is this true??

I don’t think there’s any direct impact to the Football program. The money goes towards balancing the whole athletic budget.

My biggest takeaway was when he said it would be nice to have a training table. It was a subtle comment, but it clearly shows that this is a frustration to he and the team. Reminds me of his comment earlier this year when he spoke about the big payday from playing Ohio State and that the equestrian team would get new saddles - implying that the football team gets nothing extra from these big payday games. I still think there is no way that he gets fired but little jabs like this make me believe that he is frustrated and might just leave for greener OC power 5 pastures.

Exactly. GP1 is non stop opinions but then this week stated that this was the first game that he’d actually watched start to finish. At some point you realize that some people just love to bitch

Fortunately (or unfortunately?) there was no crowd at InfoCision to harass Joe on the way off the field.

Don’t look now, but it’s a one score game!

Apparently we’re just going to lay down now? Pathetic effort

It wouldn’t be a game without a personal foul on the zips

So f’ing stupid

Not even halfway through the first quarter and we have two turnovers WTF!

Beautiful day for a Zips win!

I’ll take them for the Toledo game!

Buffalo only a 1.5 point favorite. I think the Zips have a good shot again this week. The last two years they’ve given wins away to Buffalo, hopefully that ends Saturday.

Finley can make some throws and they have some athletes that can catch but I still think they play the best when they commit to the running game and it sets up the passing game. Maybe the 2 tight ends sets were a factor of why they ran the ball so well, or maybe the O line is just playing better?

There are no great teams left on the schedule, those are all winnable games - of course they are all losable too.

OK, time to stir the pot. The zips clearly pulled this one out because they played a much tougher out of conference schedule than Eastern Michigan.!

Thank God for the W but did they have to torture us until the last second??

What did Nunelly do?

Keep pounding the rock!

Absolutely have to put some points on the board with this drive

I think GP should run the marketing for Zips football - he has all the answers. Bottom line this team needs to start winning then marketing becomes much easier.

Can’t believe Finely is only 7/12 for 73 yards - feels like he’s thrown for way more than that
