Interesting…Phil Steele lists the Zips as a bowl team, or bowl caliber team, in this article about the MAC. https://philsteele.com/2025-mac-hits-and-misses/ What I also find interesting is that it seems almost every MAC team has announced which of their players were mentioned as Phil Steele pre season All MAC honorees but I see nothing posted from Akron. Did I miss it or are they asleep at the wheel??

Well, this is always an option…if we had any money…

Win 6 to become bowl eligible which will create a national “Free Akron” campaign that will shine the light on the ridiculous irony in the NCAA rules.

This rule seems like it would hit Akron pretty hard. Being a lower tier D1 (and MAC) school it seems like several players in the last couple years have hit the portal and/or flunked out and never reappeared on another roster. I’d guess that this is fairly typical when dealing with so many Juco kids. They overestimated their value and ended up working at Wal Mart - and bringing down Akron’s APR in the process.

This program is far from perfect but you can find students/ex students at every school in the country that has this same take. Very predictable

Serious question: does this actually put Joe’s job in jeopardy before this season?

Define “holds up”. Is there a way out of this? This would be so Akron to finally be bowl eligible and not get to go.

Too many juco players and players that are on their last chance

Zips hitting the specialists hard the last week. Offers to long snapper and a punter.

So he must be a doctor now?

Looks like Miami got a haul of P5 transfers this year.

70% chance of no rain at kickoff

😂

Wouldn’t this be nice?!

Also heard Norton is academically ineligible, cannot play anywhere this upcoming season

“his meritless termination” 😂 you had me at 1-23 record! Ahhhh lawyers!

“DT: This position probably concerns me the most on the defensive side right now. Moore surprisingly moved on to Bowling Green, and Kapongo is out of eligibility, so we’re thin.” Thanks for the great/only info we see Catdaddy! I saw that Marcus Moore is already back in the portal at BG

It would be great to bring that back. It’s call fan involvement. Just like if they did any brief coaches or player interviews after practices and/or games. Create some interest. When fans get to know, or learn something about the players and coaches they are more likely to have a connection with the program and get involved. This leads to interest, ticket sales, merchandise buying etc etc. I’m continually amazed why this isn’t done. Give an intern an iPhone and take 15 minutes before or after practice then post on social media - it’s really not that hard!

Looks like a Blue/White game? I think last year they just called it a practice also but it was mostly live action in game type situation but they didn’t keep score

No, the are horrible…and effort and shot selection is bad too

These announcers suck!

I thought he announced that he was coming back

Norton not on the roster?

Heard spring practice starts this week and absolutely nothing from media or the school/athletic department. How hard would it be to put an iPhone in Joe’s face and just get a couple comments about the start of camp? They haven’t even announced practice dates or spring game have they?
