If this was a one time deal and he hasn't created any other issues, I wouldn't label the young man as having moral issues.
-
Chabi isn't dressed to play and has a cast on his left hand.

Back to Iowa.
-
Looks like they had a few players listed as questionable earlier tonight with "illness" who ended up playing.
-
Back with Minnesota
-
Crazy that we took Indiana to 4 OT just two years ago and probably should have won.
-
He is going to be very important for this team, especially since Lyles sometimes gets himself into foul trouble.

I had over 159.5...it ended up 159.

I certainly hope we wouldn't have behaved the way they did in the video @Sergeant Zipshared above. I'd be embarrassed of my school. -

I don't even care about celebrations, but celebrate with your fans and teammates. Just classless. -

Nah, weak take. Act like you've been there before. -

Saint Louis has to be one of the lamest teams I've ever seen from a sportsmanship perspective. Did it against Bucknell, too. -

Soccer is wild. Making one team play with one less player for 25+ minutes because of a play where the player was pretty clearly just trying to kick the ball is just crazy to me. Doesn't happen in any other sport. -

Wow, that's insane. Just can't call that in a game like this IMO. -

Why it it a hand ball when it didn't hit his hand? -
I casually check out TWolves forums and someone mentioned that Minnesota may have brought him in for a few days to evaluate him in practice to see his progress and to give him some areas to work on back in Iowa. They have been remarkably healthy so far this season, which has limited opportunities for he and the other two-ways.
-
He's been traveling with Minnesota for the last week or so but hasn't been active on gamedays. I am hoping he will either start being active or get sent back to Iowa so he can play.

Not at all true. It was the worst kept secret that Akron planned to appeal the decision if they became bowl-eligible and expected to win that appeal. The players knew if they beat Kent and BG, they'd likely go bowling.

Mediocrity is "the quality of being ordinary or average" 2024: 4-8 (3-5), 126 in FPI 2025: 5-7 (4-4), 128 in FPI So yes.

Being OK with Moorhead leaving doesn't make you a hater. I think he's a solid coach, I wouldn't be upset if be stayed, but I would also be OK with change if he left. My primary reason is I don't see significant progress. Was this year's team noticeable better than 2024, or did they just get to play a UMass team that had so many injuries they had coaches taking practice reps and a beat up BG team on their 3rd QB? They had one win against a good team in 2024 (Toledo) and one this year (CMU). Sports-reference.com ranked us 136 out of 136 for SOS. Could it get worse? Absolutely. You could 100% get another Arth that would be far worse and set the program back even further. But it could also get better. Maybe you find a coach who can find a recruiting strategy that works despite the lack of resources. Maybe you find a coach who donors and alumni are excited about, and support more both financially and with personal engagement to the team. Maybe you find someone who can do better than average, even if it's for a short time before moving on. Do you truly believe Joe Moorhead can lead you to a MAC Championship at some point? If yes, you keep him. But if no, I would rather take the shot at someone else, even knowing the risk. I don't ever want to just settle for mediocrity, which is where we are right now.

I caught the yellow card but didn't know what happened. Yikes.
-
Saint Louis went directly over to the Bryant student section to taunt them after the win. Tells me you can possibly get in their heads a bit.
-
I should have been more clear in saying "past years" - I meant in the past in general. AO1Creative has done a great job since they've done it.
-
Akron loses big to the coach they fired who started 2 freshmen and 2 sophomores, with 4 of their 5 starters being Ohio recruits. Big yikes.
