At least you are consistant! Lol

Prior to this season, your $500 ticket got you nothing but a seat. I find the level of entitlement in todays world exasperating. Sorry that menu (typical tailgate fare) not up to your standards. The vast majority of the $500 ticket is actually a donation to the Z-Fund which is used to support the student athletes. https://x.com/Akron_Z_Fund?t=HYsvZ4yh8qr0pULIh89N-w&s=09

Lol! It might take $50 to keep them.

Food and a cash bar. A chance to mingle with the players and coaching staff in a relaxed atmosphere. A short program to introduce everybody. Usually a trivia game by the players about Zips related subjects. Overall an enjoyable event.

I just threw that number out there to stimulate conversation about the impact of the NIL. Maybe $50k is a more reasonable #.

I totally support the idea that people can bitch all they want. But bitching about things doesn't accomplish anything. If you want a winning program you need to play by the rules of NIL. A good QB transfer will want to get paid.

All you guys bitching on here about the QB play need to put your money where your mouth is. If you want a talented QB, it takes money in this NIL day and age. I'll start a go fund me page to finance it. It should only cost about $150k.

Spoiler: Guess who made CFB's Bottom 10?

At least we're in some pretty good company. 🙃 -
Adams is injured. He will return when he is able bodied.

They used to do this before Covid. The band has the option to play as much as they want. As a former trumpet player, I can tell you it is impossible to play at every available opportunity in a five hour football game day. Remember it is not just what goes on in the stadium. There is also all the pregame activities on campus before they arrive at the stadium.

During the hayday of the Acme-Zip game there were only a couple of games a week on broadcast TV and livestream wasn't even a word yet.

Maybe UCLA should hire one of them too. https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2022/09/03/look-ucla-sets-record-low-attendance-at-rose-bowl/

Scanners and clear bag policies were mandates from the MAC that did come with a cost. Money that could have been spent elsewhere. The search for a marketing director was extensive but in todays job market finding one was not easy. A very small pool of qualified applicants.

Keener!

There was a meet and greet months ago.

Irons tore his ACL. His career as a Zip is officially over. On to the next QB.

Yes

Changing a culture of losing is very difficult. When you have a winning culture you don't need to worry about fans fretting about PA announcers and whether the band plays enough. Winning cures most ills. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I haven't seen Bullock because I don't attend football practices. Very few get that privilege.

Coaches are stubborn. Hopefully JoMo gets over his stubbornness soon.
-
Yes

Pretty sure Joe interviewed John Heisman when he coached the Zips.🤣
-
First installment of the coaches show airs tonight on Bally sports after the Gaurdians postgame show. Find out who Jomo likes at QB.
