Captain Kangaroo

How many of the Arth 2021/2022 class will stick with Akron? I’ll guess - zero.

It worked out so well we fired him?

They probably rested their starters in preparation for tonight. Trap game.

If that’s a trigger, I can’t imagine what this is.

Playing Malone tonight, and Akron tomorrow night. Ambitious scheduling. Wheeling Site

His record says “yes,” his wallet says “no.”

View of the student section and bar area.

“The Kangaroo Hops Garden?”

On the topic of beer - They did have a few other non-advertised offerings. Yuengling and Heineken. There were probably another couple I missed. They don't seem to want to sell the beer. The bar behind the south hoop looked nice, but was empty for the bulk of the game. You'd figure there'd be a PA announcement promoting it, inviting people to stop down? Call it "Porky's Taphouse"...market it somehow? Word in section 2B was - there was a $20 cover charge to enter the area? Maybe true, maybe an urban legend. But I didn't feel like walking down to find out.

IMHO - I think our problem is less coaching, and more talent. Feeney isn't misusing Mean Joe Green, Lawrence Taylor, Jason Taylor and Michael Strahan. Or even Coe, Marcus, Davis II and Gilbert III. We're just smaller, slower and younger than every OL we face. A single instance of stopping the run, or getting any sort of pressure on the QB has been cause for a ticker tape parade for any of the Arth-Feeney's defenses.

Both Gen Z’er season ticket holders will be stoked.

Miller Lite...White Claw...Corona...? I thought you said they were selling beer?😁 I guess it's a start.

I think you misinterpreted the post. He's saying it was stupid to put Irons in the game when Gibson was rolling. Inserting Irons is like tossing water on the campfire, and our staff has done it two consecutive games. Irons showed some high level FBS ability earlier in the season. Auburn and Ohio State fans would attest to it. I would too. 😁 I've watched a lot of football, and I've only seen this bizarre QB swap done one other time...when Butchie Washington was having a great first quarter against Penn State, and Lee Owens yanked him in favor of Greg Gromeck. I recall Gromeck threw two quick pick 6's, and a tight game quickly flipped to a blowout. Gibson has improved quite a bit over his 3 Freshman seasons at UA. He definitely gives the Zips the best chance to win football games. End zone fumble aside, he values ball security way more than Irons. Good leadership, pocket presence, poise, accuracy and good arm strength. What's not to like? But if Gibson elected to transfer at season's end (hope he doesn't), and a good OC and QB coach had the offseason to work with Irons, and we plucked 4 mature OL's out of the transfer portal, I think we'd be in good shape with Irons at QB in 2022.

Does Kato get the 1st series against Kent? Do we stupidly force Irons into the Kent game, mid scoring drive, like we did against Ball State and WMU?

If basketball games were 39 minutes 58 seconds long, and football games were 58 minutes 59 seconds long, I’d have had a hell of a Tuesday night. Instead…

The next pass better be in the end zone

Gibson gets a chance to make a signature comeback win!

He was a yard short on that 3rd and 20.

I hope Gibson doesn’t have an 8am class tomorrow. I don’t see him getting out of bed until at least noon. Awesome performance.

Better than when we lost in OT to that sorry osu team in the Big Dog era, but still a loss. Really nice effort. Just wish we could have finished.

Glad Ali read my post at halftime.

It’d be easier if we made an open jumper.

Who will score more points against Akron tonight - Ohio State or Western Michigan?

Ali and Dawson need to do something positive.

Depends on the results.
