Another year of this fun battle that I always ramble on about! I’ve seen multiple sources project Akron/MAC winner a 12 seed and the first step to get there is by beating up the Sun Belt. It’ll also be a great chance for the women to start the season with a big win This is definitely the most interesting classic I’ve seen so far. With the addition of UMASS I think it will help put the MAC over the top. Troy is the highest ranked Sun belt team and they are only 124. If 2 of the directionals/NIU can get a scrappy win we should win this round. Every game counts. MACtion vs the world🔥

I’d love to see them inflate our conference rank. We legit could be a 12 seed this year if the head to heads shake out right

Now you’re sounding like my Kent friend 😂. Love the optimism but I’m taking it one game at a time

🤞. W Soccer won Thursday and volleyball won 2x this weekend

First year coach right? I watched the game and the stats seemed to show we were better this year despite a similar record

Trading card night + autograph night sounds like I need to get a card binder!

Ban all the directionals!

I feel like we always drop the scrimmages. Drop the ones that don’t count and move on lol

Why not both! Lol

Sam Houston is in a temporary stadium that is like 50 miles away from campus atm so that is why they are so low

I will say this is also with the league practice restrictions in place because of our grades. I fully blame the full administration for that but the fact we are still performing this well with that stipulation as well is something to make note of

We just need to remember we can’t overreact to a preseason game lol

Ban them both. It’ll end up boosting the conference NET😂

Can Akron make a bowl if there isnt enough six win teams? Similar to what JMU had to do during its transition to FBS postseason ban

Guys we just beat the best record in the mac before this result. Lets party 🎉

Anyone ever sit courtside?

Really prefer the previous black and gold unis. Black and blue never sits right with me for some reason

Hopefully we can take advantage like how Arkansas State took advantage last year against us

I mean ESPN2 or U. I'd be shocked if we weren't on ESPN+. Especially cause both conferences have deals with ESPN

Really wish ESPN could pick up this game for tv but having it on opening night makes that near impossible

If Kent state loses today they may never win a FBS game again

Need to get back in the win column

A big tailgate for homecoming with a cover band, conference title celebration, and renewing wedding vows with zippy which was cute. They had cheap beer and food plus inflatables and tents with fans. Really nice setup I was there for 4 hrs and had a great time

I know football has been up and down but I feel like the athletic program on the up and up. I’m loving the advertising and pre game festivities of the Nemer/Goodrich era. Crowds are not at pre covid level but I feel theres an optimism across most of the sports. Hell if we beat UMass and Kent I still think that’s successful. Maybe not exciting but it’s raising the floor.

Homecoming was fantastic. Great day throughout the University. The fall fest was an amazing setup.
