If I felt anyone else beyond you took the job of evaluating MAC talent so seriously and with such incredible attention to detail, I’d reverse my stance on the relevance of star ratings given to MAC-level players. Great job, and awesome work! Your post will definitely be my reference over the first few 2023 games as I try to figure out who’s who.

I just love that interview. I’ve found my new favorite Zip.

From what I heard, retired and returned home to NC.

Nice Jacob Newell Interview I assume Joe knew about him from his time @ Oregon?

I think what’s left in the portal now is the football equivalent of a moldy ham & cheese sandwich, a bubble gum wrapper, and $10 in expired Kohl’s cash. Time to walk away and leave the detritus for Kent. Looking forward to seeing what kind of team Joe & Co. can mold Akron’s ‘23 Soldiers of Fortune into.

Tahj HS Article Love the signing. Undercuffler is a just a solid back up and Iron’s shoulder situation makes him tough to bank on…we needed a P5 talent in the ‘23 QB mix if we want to make any noise this year. We’ve won 8 games in the past 5 combined seasons, so “noise” is relative…but I really expect a .500 season this fall. We will have a sideline full of transfer soldiers-of-fortune, but hopefully they have something to prove, and gel as the season progresses. Arth was building a team like he had 6 years to start winning. Joe obviously has a more expedited timetable. So many new faces!

His Twitter says he’s a grad transfer with 2-3 years remaining. Bizarre.

Damn. I was hoping we could get him on the cheap after Groce departs for the Dayton job following the Zips Sweet 16 run next year! 😡

The defense on display at the 2023 Spring Game is probably a 20% precursor of what we'll actually field in the fall. So excited to see the influx of mature D1 talent over the past few months!

To his defense, he was probably pretty lit when he made the comment.

I was in Amberg Germany last week for work. When I checked in to the hotel, I provided my ID to the desk attendant and she said "Oh, you are from Ohio? I went to college there for two semesters." Of course when I asked "Where?", she said "The University of Akron." I told her "Go Zips!" every morning when I left for the office. 😄

This is the Portal Era. We could pick up seven 2024-25 seniors to replace them.

Woo hoo! I think we’re a lock to win the ultimate prize- 20 games next year!

He owes Ben Simmons some money for that idea.

He was a very good coach at Akron. In a couple seasons he was undoubtedly the best coach in the MAC. He’s been good At Duquesne too. Nice person as well.

He’s a large individual.

I hate to be a Ulysses Upper, but - 1.) It is amazing what credit miracles occur sometimes. 2.) Where is a guy like Dawson, coming off missing a full season, and who loves playing for the Zips, going to go and expect to be better off than competing for Akron? The only real question is - Does Ali mind eating a little crow and coming back to UA? Only time will tell (cue the Asia video).

Be patient. @Justin_Heyward mentioned Tuesday Afternoon might cure your moody blues.

No Sunday Bloody Sunday, or something from Til Tuesday?

My recommendation- Set up in lot 9. Along exchange street.

Findlay’s Reese Little attended the scrimmage.

I hope on his senior day the Zips are beating Kent 51-0 and coach Moorhead, fresh off signing a 10-year contract extension, let’s Bruno kick an XP.

See pictures on the previous page. #56 did play.
