Interesting from Wyoming ... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32934502/wyoming-cowboys-post-online-ad-selling-team-transfer-quarterback

Eastern getting absolutely ROLLED by Liberty 56-20 with about 4' to go. Eastern with 10 garbage time points to make it that close. MAC heading to 0-3 in bowls so far. Easy to have high expectations for Moorhead and staff.

... but ...

Toledo was up by 17, 41-24, at the half and just went toes-up at Richmond, 72-69. Spiders got hot hitting 3s to tie it up and then it was March-like the last 3 minutes.

Clemson and Washington in tomorrow's Final. Clemson took out < genuflect > Notre Dame 1-1 on PKs. ND's goal came on a PK. Clemson's was a beautiful strike from the top of the box. Clemson goalie is the primary reason they advanced. Big saves in regulation and stopped one late in PKs. Notre Dame played a 'physical' game not unlike that of the Big 10. Very happy to see Clemson advance. Washington struck twice within 2-3 minutes early in the 2nd half and held on to win 2-1 over the hoity Hoyas. Not a fan of Seattle but definitely not a fan of DC/Georgetown. This is Washington's first trip to the Cup. Probably going to to pull for the Tigers.

Reghi not calling the game tonight. Jacki Windon is there but working with Tim Clark (I believe I caught his name correctly). Anyone have any info on Reghi?

Just sent a text to someone about that. Hideous from top to bottom. That *hitty 'blue' goes perfectly with pee yellow. Helmets ... pants ... total fail.

morris - I'm going to accept that as 'enthusiasm.' Go Zips!

Already planning a football/cycling week-away road trip next September book-ended by Tennessee and Liberty. Road trips just weren't worth the time and expense in recent years. We A-R-E N-O-T going to suck!

Sign me up for some "talent, period" whether that's local(LOVE it when they stay home ... in Akron, not Kent) or from the far reaches. Wouldn't mind having one or two Hawaiians or Samoans as defenses are usually bad-ass for some reason (they bring it?) when they're in the mix. Love the names too. Also agree with CK - focus first on controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Skill positions are screwed when a plan isn't able to develop. Feeling fine on a Saturday morning. Looking forward to the announcement. What I saw last night was not unlike some of our Akron/Kent games (even some of the recent soccer games) where one side showed up jacked, wanting it and ready to play and the other looked like they had no idea it was their rival or what was on the line. Saw RPO and could have sworn I saw Kato in there early. Glad I dozed off for the vast majority of the game. Go Zips!

... going forward, we should be referring to that as a 'safe space' foul.

O-line hogs please. Chiseled O-line hogs please (meant no disrespect to the guys that help make it happen up front).

Buying 2 season tickets again as well.

Spoken like a man who has been there, done that and been pretty successful doing so along the way. I heard confidence, discipline, leadership, lots of wins in the MAC, return to the MAC Championship game (including being crowned champion), bowl invites and wins, P5 upsets and a return to enjoyable Fall Saturdays and Tuesdays. Feels very strange to be in the running for a guy like this. I know - no guarantees but jeez ...

Elements of truth here but for the sake of the current discussion ...

Damn it, Clark. It's on you if ND taps Moorhead.

Watch for the tail-dragger to circle the remnants of the Rubber Bowl before landing. Dead giveaway. Probably won't be squawking on FlightAware either.

Was thinking the same thing. I agree with 94 - Gibson seems to have the makings of a pretty good MAC QB. I haven't followed Moorhead enough to know what he likes and dislikes in a QB. Zach - Hang out for a minute with the rest of us and let's see where this goes. Seems to me you're the type who might grab a UA flag and plant it in the middle of a buckeye.

... but your NEO sports fan eternal optimism, especially the Akron Blue and Gold part of that, IS getting the best of you right now, isn't it! Sure is for me. Given soccer, football and the first 2 games of the Tampa tourney, I'm enjoying the hopium!

Gotta believe Moorhead = QB magnet.

Regarding the rumor that he is headed to Akron, Moorhead is categorically denyi.... oh ... wait ...

I will never understand so much use of sideline and fade-to-back-of-end-zone routes. Very effective 12th defender. Whatever ...
