Announcer also said O Rod had never been a head coach if I heard him correctly. Staff member at best. This HAS to be a good (great?) hire.

Why would we not do everything we could to convince Gibson to remain at Akron? Except for the near-sack scramble for a first down, that looked easy. WMU defense looked like Akron.

That 'Season over.' feeling just always sucks.

Never cared for all of the 'you knows' and coach-speak/cliches (answer the damn question). Gave me a sense that he was not fully in command and in over his head. Fine for a smaller school/lower level of play but O-fers and 1-fers are just not acceptable, especially when you look pretty bad doing it. Not happy from a financial perspective assuming we don't really have a good way to fund a buy-out (big doner?) but feeling a sense of relief. Best of luck to Tom.

... ouch.

Man it's nice to see our Blue and Gold getting 1st downs and looking good doing it.

Kicker needs to start running stairs RIGHT now and we'll let him know when he can stop.

... reminded me of these guys and yes, they got their asses handed to them too ...

I hadn't hit 'Submit' just yet but was going to say that NW's post assumes that there were people strolling in.

ESPN+ / 640 WHLO

Watching Kent/WMU ... November 9th at Western could get REALLY ugly. WMU up 64-31 with a little more than 3 minutes left.

Zips look FANTASTIC tonight 20 minutes into the match against PSU. Zips up 2-0 and really pressing offensively. 5 corners in the first 10 minutes of action.

Yeah, that's the face of a guy who grew up pretty much in the middle between Liverpool and Manchester. Hard to grow up candy-ass in that neck of the English woods (have NO idea why there are two of each pic and cannot delete the dups - sorry about that) ...

Players and coaches working hard this week to improve in all four phases of the game - offense, defense, special teams and in-game sideline management. Prediction #1: ZERO sideline warnings. That's right - no first offense! Prediction #2: Zips win this one going away 30-29.

That is just bizarre to me to see P5 schools like Arizona, Kansas and Vanderbilt THAT far down the list and keeping Akron and Miami (OH) company. Looks like we're in the running for pillow fight of the week. Very much looking forward to it - Go Zips!

You're one of our soccer "go-to's" and you just made this feel like the Football thread! 😉 You're not wrong though. Need to iron some things out or we're going to be on the outside looking in again this year and that's rough when we now EXPECT to be playing for the College Cup year in and year out.

... or did Gibson's play motivate this team? I realize the goal line stand was there in the 1st quarter but both sides of the ball looked different 2nd half.

Perfect night for your first match - enjoy!

I know it's the American football thread but Akron men's soccer plays tonight at home at 7p against George State (new to MAC soccer this year). Go Zips!

... and behind it.

The one that made the bus - Gibson! (I'm a fan of Irons as well but my answer is still Gibson. Tired of the run-pass option. Prefer Gibson's style of play.)

Captain - Color commentator will be on the call at Miami! 🤐

Was going to post something similar 'North-South.' A LOT of yards North-South. Nice job Hester.

Did Gibson just point to the scoreboard on that bump?

Have we done enough to fall completely out of the Bottom 10 ... or 25?
