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.

More travel than their CUSA trips to Louisiana, New Mexico, Florida, Texas…?

Kornheiser's response - "What was he...3-24? That's a pretty easy one to defend."

I'm sure Kent will bring a lot of fans on the 20th.

Zips fans have walked out of InfoCision stadium a loser against every D1-A (FBS) opponent we've played for the past 4 calendar years (sadly, no fans attended the epic 2020 BG win). And, we've played some lousy opponents. If Ohio State lost every single game they played at the Horseshoe, how many fans would be lining up for year #5 season tickets? We've been outscored 1,351-640 the past 4 seasons. Our fans get giddy if we play a competitive half of football against bottom-dweller opponents. The Zips aren't just losing...they have been an embarrassment for several years. Until they sustain some level of football respectability, who in their right mind would forfeit a beautiful Saturday afternoon and pay $100 (family of four) to watch them?

Every MAC champion football team in memory has been a clean, respectable group. No Barry Sweitzers or Jimmy Johnson’s. It shouldn’t be too outlandish to expect it could happen in Akron too.

Mike Johnson still interested in coaching?

Coach O Rod doing things #hisway If anything it will be interesting to see the changes O Rod implements. Obviously he can’t make any major scheme changes in 7 days. But there might be some “Arth favorites” being replaced by guys that he likes better. Could Zips Grandma get her wish next Tuesday?

I think November 4th is "Dre Christmas."

If you can't get Rich Rod, I guess you get O Rod.
