Regardless of outcome (as long as we stay healthy), college football and most importantly ZIPS FOOTBALL is back baby. LET'S GO ZIPS! SHOCK THE WORLD... ... and cover the spread!

6'3" - good size. Love keeping top local talent at home.

Really loathe that soccer program. First of all, get lights. Until then, open the damn exposure on your camera so we can actually see the game on TV. Speaking of the camera, get a tower for the camera. I don't need a first row at the 50 yard line view. As long as Brian Kelly isn't controlling the tower decisions, everyone should be ok. Second of all, does their NIL find go to the refs?

PK goal by WMU. Looked like an awful call at first glance.

Makes me appreciate the view from the InfoCision Space Station. Can we get a clock or is that too advanced for the school that doesn't have lights at their DI soccer stadium?

Directional Michigans are miserable schools.

Whomever stated in another thread that we struggled with physicality in the exhibitions was dead on. Wow are we soft and seemingly lack the skill to work around the physicality.

College football is having one helluva start. Game winning FG for GT over #10 FSU, and now FCS Montana State has completed a comeback from being down 14-31 to upset New Mexico.

I don't know if this extends to other universities in the area (CSU, Kent, etc.) but having a direct plug into the NFL for college students is never a bad thing. I'd imagine Kaulig had a role in this, but props to whomever else was involved.

Great result to start the season against the #2 team in the season. Malik Henry is an absolute game changer with his speed and grit.

GOAL AKRON! 1-1

This is MASSIVE news.

Big. For whatever reason, when he transferred in, I was under the impression this was his only year with us.

@catdaddyp Thamel mentioned that Finley is a redshirt junior. Do we have him for 2 years?

Be specific - they didn't list us as the worst, which means we could prove em wrong in a couple different ways. 😉

Citing a statistic that requires additional talent to make happen - egregious. Whose OLine was better - Toledo or Akron? There's a very solid chance Lingard was legitimately the best back in the MAC. People's eyes could tell you that. The dude had the size and speed to compete with the best of them, but lacked opportunity and talent around him to really reach his potential. Go crawl back in your hole and eat a Snickers.

Based on how much my groceries keep going up, I shutter to think about how expensive FloSports is now. FloSports is dumb for their pricing model and the Big East is even dumber for allowing their product to be pay-walled in that way.

To accompany Captain's photos & recap, here are some videos highlights.

Music to my ears to hear two things... - Even with Tahj potentially being improved, Finley is a clear cut upgrade. That bodes well for the success of this offense. - Having legitimate kickers on FGs is something we haven't had in years. Would've beaten Indiana last year had that been the case.

My buddy's wife is a teacher in Westerville and knows Josh & his family. "Great kid, his parents are great too. He's got serious game for a high schooler. I'm a little surprised he's going MAC. I thought maybe a little higher."

This out-of-the-box marketing cost the University $0, but highlights Akron in a great light to the national audience. Personally I love the logo and think it competes in class with the best letter logos in college athletics. It's definitely a sharper Arby's A though - great find.
