I wonder if they will have an Akron game thread at some point, mixed in with all the new coach threads.

Looks like you and zipsrule win with 4/6

Sounds like a must-win for us.

I don't remember seeing this posted. Apparently the ISU loss knocked us out of the G5 power rankings top 10. https://saturdayblitz.com/2018/09/26/group-of-five-power-rankings-week-4-2018/

Nice win. Kinda compensates for one of the ugly losses. Now, keep it going Zips!

Gasser is arriving as a PK. It's a punter we now need to poach from the soccer team https://gozips.com/news/2018/9/24/football-akrons-nick-gasser-earns-mac-honors-again.aspx

Something to do during bye week. Pick against the spread shown below, by Friday. @EMU favored by 3.5 over NIU @Buffalo favored by 8.5 over Army @Ball State favored by 7.5 over KS-Pew (a.k.a. Can't State) @Fresno State favored by 7.5 over Toledo @TCU favored by 10.5 over Iowa State Purdue favored by 3.5 over @Nebraska

OU blew their lead and lost to Cinci. Buffalo gets a Jolly Roger, thumping Rutgers.

We're going to jump one of those sideline routes before the game is over.

Cornmunchers losing 37-0 in the first half.

Oline starting to get mauled

I hope we stand our ground and don't roll over for a "settlement". And I hope Bethune-Cookman demands payment in advance.

NU officials informed Akron officials that they did not intend to make up that date, but Moos said Thursday that settlement negotiations have not yet picked up steam. "We let them know what our intention was and said, let’s enter into some discussions about the settlement," said Moos, who in September said he thought that Akron's travel expenses at least would be covered by his school. "That’s where it was last left."

What would you estimate the actual attendance was for the game? It seems maybe NW would be better off going on the road for a payday themselves.

You'd think they would have had a Getsy-to-Hixon type of routed pass play instead of rolling out and heaving it up.

Thanks - the comments are a good read too..

405 passing yards (3 TD's) yielded doesn't sound great but when you net out the 21 points scored by the defense from the 34 given up it works out to a 13 point effort

There's no guarantee KN1 could have killed 7 seconds before they got to him, especially if the clock started late. Then Northworstern might have had a better chance to score from within the red zone. And heaven forbid if they would have stripped the ball and taken it in. I'm glad Kato got rid of it when he did leaving them with 1 shot from the 30.

That article says 18.5

Will you be serving mimosa's or bloody mary's?

We weren't "Akron" in 1896 either.
