Wrong thread by a couple of years but Mark Stoops is out at Kentucky. And incidentally, Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades is stepping down from both his duties for the Bears and as the College Football Playoff selection committee's chairman for "personal reasons," according to Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger.

Then again, you could say a lot of basketball games are won & lost by made & missed free throws..

Walmart's website actually has a lot of Zips stuff from affiliated sellers, albeit not athlete-specific and not necessarily walmart-cheap: https://www.walmart.com/search?q=akron+zips&sort=price_low&page=2&affinityOverride=default And you'll want a Rolex watch to go with it: https://www.walmart.com/shop/clothing-and-accessories/pre-loved-new-arrivals?povid=ApparelNav_APPAREL_PrelovedFashion_Pills_Camp_Prelovednewarrivals

defense travels to the extent you're not playing #1 I guess..

Not to trigger GP1 but my $5 says we will hold the first half score under 76.5 🙏

Lacking a couple million dollars for NIL doesn't seem to be the issue. Look at UMass.

You haven't been to a game at Infocision in a while, have you...

The MAC without BG? Well, well... looks like UMass went back to the A10 and took the falcons along.

At least we played UAB close enough to get Dilfer fired.

With a $2M NIL budget, UMass should at least be able to win a few MAC games.

WE WANT THE PENGUINS!

I can't get there for a noon start. And trying to watch on espn+ is a horrible experience. Also can't 'listen live' on the Zips phone app.

no problem, buy a GA ticket and go sit in a loge.

I came here fully expecting that someone was posting about WMU's loss to a school called Northwood.

44 point 2nd half? That bodes well.

It's a dangerous place.

I'm not so sure you could sit in the home side center sections with a GA ticket. They do have some ushers on duty.

did it work?
