I believe the money is accurate. But to call it a "money game" in the same light that Ohio State, Auburn, Michigan State or Tennessee is a money game is a bit of a stretch. They lost to Terry Bowden's 4-win ULM team last year. I'd expect us to be very competitive.

That's like compromising, and taking arsenic over cyanide. Fun old video, though. I'm sure I was there. 🍻

Like most fans, I saw a lot of potential in Irons. Great size, speed, arm strength and accuracy. Ball security was his kryptonite, and you'd like to think Joe will address that. That said, I'd be shocked if we went into next season with only the three incumbent QB's. There HAS to be a P5, 5th year QB transfer waiting in the Signing Day wings.

Because our incumbent OL is so dominant?

Mumpfield was a freshman last year. Maybe this kid makes a similar year #1 impact? The opportunity for playing time will certainly be there. When you bring in one of the best skill position players from one of the best high school teams in the south, you’re allowed to get a little excited. Every great player was a freshman once. 🦘💪🏽

Michael Mathison who? 😁

I always like Omar Jacobs' (former Florida HS star, BG QB and Steelers draft pick) take on playing college football in the north. He felt is was important to show NFL teams that he could play in the cold weather, so he chose BG over similar-level southern schools. Although he didn't do anything in the NFL, it did get him drafted by the Steelers.

Heath better be sending Gary Waters one hell of a Christmas gift every year…that season he rode Waters’ kids to the Elite 8 pretty much bankrolled his college coaching career.

1,000 points…that averages out to 100 per year for him over his college career?

If you’re concerned about COVID, you should come to the JAR. My section is at about 8% capacity. Others are even more sparse. You have a better chance contracting COVID in your own attic than you do at the JAR this year.

Anyone see the script Kent jerseys when they played Buffalo in hoops tonight? Not what Akron should emulate. Looks like 1968.

Point differential cost you, but I still think you win “Prediction of the Game” award today. 👍

When they do, you can bank on him having either - A.) Knocked off a liquor store B.) Scored a 4 on his SAT C.) Possessed a 450 lb bench press, and the bone density of Betty White D.) Been grossly over-starred Note - Multiple correct answers are possible.

Hello all - this is a friendly reminder that there's a thread dedicated to the importance of recruiting stars. Please keep discussions here. Thanks. 🙏

Great to see Coach Ferri back in Akron Football gear recruiting the Youngstown area! Could this kid be the next Brandon Payne?

The biggest reason we changed was - our colors were essentially the same as Kent. I think it was a good move. in be shocked if we changed today’s colors. I think they’re here to stay.

3 ppg in 2019-20. 4.2 ppg in 2020-21 and 6.9 ppg this season. Not a bad progression. He should be around 8 ppg next year, which is great if he's surrounded by other guys that can score. He finishes better than ever at the rim now, and his FT shooting has improved from 48% to 64% since year #1. Not great, but serviceable. He's outscored Dawson 90 - 73 this year?

And he won 3 games in three years at UA. If I'm him, I'm tired of getting pounded into the ground for nothing. 9 wins in one season sounds pretty good. Hope he does well there. All of Arth's best players have now left. Sans Bubba, and IMO Irons. You yank the band aid off, it stings for a few seconds...then it's fine. Looking forward to seeing Joe's 32-player, transfer-heavy, high-impact recruiting class!

They got a good one. Onward and upward for the Zips regardless!

Too many Zips players didn't show up last night. Ali, Dawson, Clarke and Trimble were all disappointing. I thought Bandaogo, Freeman, Tribble and obviously Casteneda gave it their all. Kent outworked us for sure. Carry clowned us. He did what he wanted, whenever he wanted. I definitely don't want to see that again in round #2. Hope we get our swagger back. That was a bad effort for a Kent game.

To create the section is groundbreaking for UA. But it's actually been full too? The old AK-Rowdies section was completely empty under the Williams regime. I could very well be wrong, but I expect to see a dramatically increased student engagement at InfoCision this fall. At least for Game #1. 😁
