Captain Kangaroo

Good news is - we didn’t lose another 1-score game.

We need to expand the band to 25,000 members and fill the stadium.

Amazing what’s possible when the offense moves the ball and doesn’t turn it over.

Was Bilas his attorney?

He did have an attorney. I guess just not one as good as Aziz’s.

So is he eligible after finals week? Or does he wait until fall 2024?

Earlier post regarding UA/Kentucky @ Akron Kentucky will probably generate $5 million by bringing in a cupcake to pound at home. Paying the Zips $500,000 (?) NOT to play in Akron is deemed as a win-win by the powers that be at both UK and cash-strapped Akron. As a fan I don't like it, but my vote doesn't count.

Damn…if true, that would suck! 😡

We’re Drake’s Heidelberg.

Can we get a picture with the 4th place trophy when the team returns?

Who has more points? Hilltopper or Dawson?

Gimme some Evan Wilson! F the Synchmygame.com commercial.

How’s his physicality?

I admire Matt because he’s genuinely invested in the Zips. The guy could take a private jet anywhere in the world on a fall Saturday but more often than not he can be seen on the Zips home sideline. For everyone’s sake I hope his steadfast support pays off. He’s a special Akron dude.

Their rivalry with North Dakota Yours is one of the all time greats.

If anyone is interested, Life-Pacific plays Cal Northridge at 4pm today.

I ain’t got nuthin’ to say…

I sense Terry Pluto’s next book - “Akron Zips Football and the Curse of Fritz Pollard”

5% of the way to the vaunted 20 win season!

I’ve watched it 38 times this morning. Still doesn’t get old.

Norfolk State trounced Apprentice by 40 tonight.

Until they didn’t…

Whew…I was fearful YSU had flipped them.

I assume their mascot is something like this?

I think the offseason priorities are: 1.) Bring in a grad transfer QB, or some seasoned guy with a decent track record who perhaps got squeezed out by a young phenom. 2.) Need a couple seasoned OL's. Easier said than done, but we need a couple more solid guys that we've presently got. 3.) Identify an returning player to be the #2 QB. Develop him. Quickly. 4.) Find your 2024 kicker. We can't have a 3-kicker rotation again. 5.) Replace Lingard and Anderson with someone good. Maybe Kellom is one? 6.) Get Alex Adams back on the field. 7.) Keep Tibesar. 8.) Find another groomable young QB if the ones on the roster aren't going to work out. Don't hang on to a recruiting mistake...move on. 9.) Get better in short yardage situations. Much better. 10.) Make the fans happy. They've been through a brutal stretch. 7 D1 wins in 6 years is unfathomable. Our 2023 offense was unwatchable. Beg, borrow, steal...do whatever you can to post a winning record in 2024. The days of 0-, 1, or 2-win seasons are over. We had a defense good enough to win 6 or 7 games this year. And the worst offense in memory.
