So what you're saying is Akron is in a similar class as Radford, thus further establishing a game against Radford is much more than a scrimmage/practice. 😉

Losing by 20 and 12 to Fordham and App State respectively? Marshall is our only respectable win. We don't have a right to look down upon any DI opponent (except PCCC). There isn't a positive spin to put on this in my opinion. I'm tired of COVID, and I'd love to play another DI opponent before going into MAC play, especially with our next game being BUGS on the 29th. That will be 2 weeks since we've played a game.

I'm looking at Radford's schedule and wondering what justifies the view of them essentially being a scrimmimmage (to quote Benchwarmers) like Point Park. Their schedule blows ours out of the water. Sure their record isn't great (2-7 against DI teams), but we're 5-3 against DI teams with double-digit losses to App State and Fordham. They have respectable losses to WVU and James Madison, while also playing against UVA and VaTech. I would have loved for this game to take place.

6'2" RB. Wow. Had offers from Minnesota, BYU, Duke, etc., out of high school. He's going to look like Derrick Henry in the MAC; let's hope he plays like him. Impressive quote from Fleck.

Wow... It's a reunion in Akron, but everyone went off and got excellent P5 experience before coming back.

COVID is the biggest factor. When you 4 entire classes getting a free year eligibility wise, that's a lot of players not leaving the DI ranks automatically at the end of the year for each class. An underlying factor might be the amount of coaching changes this year. With the transfer portal wide open, I'd imagine Moorhead isn't the only one being patient during the early signing period to do a proper roster and transfer portal talent evaluation. It will be interesting to see if the second signing period sees these numbers even out.

Walton needs removed, no?

All of his staff so far are P5 guys... Maybe he wants to get P5 fans/atmosphere?

I knew that... 👀😳😅

Appreciation post for the JAR. Thank goodness we don't watch our basketball games at the Nutter Center. That is not a flattering arena name. 😂

Kalle got in there at the end. I thought he was a redshirt.

Patton.

These announcers are fawning all over Akron. It's hilarious 😂

This is quite the performance. 1) This team appears to be gelling nicely. 2) The schedule is becoming more consistent/regular. I wonder if that is helping us find our flow/rhythm.

Go take your timeout. Turnover and 3 by Wright State immediately following this post.

Wynn sighting. Great dribble drive by Clarke.

Whoops. Double post on the phone. Go Zips!

Love the ball movement tonight. Incredible vision and execution on the pass there by Aziz.

The play-by-play guy on ESPN+ sounds like Ohio State's announcer, Paul Keels (the only good thing about the Suckeyes). Great voice. He and Jackie would be a nice pair instead of Reghi.

Is Travis Hunter one of Barstool's sponsored athletes? Jerry Jones makes sense.

This seems like the right thread to discuss the ever-changing landscape of college football recruiting/transfers. No. 1 recruit Travis Hunter commits to Deion Sanders and Jackson State I'd imagine NIL money is involved, but this is a massive domino to fall. The trail of dominoes that follow this could lead to other G5 schools landing big time recruits. The staff Moorhead is putting together, including himself, cannot hurt in hopes of being one of those G5 schools.

This is one of my favorite takes yet. How tone deaf can you be? Further proves how detrimental this is to P5 schools. I love it.

Interesting. Wyoming and San Jose State on upcoming schedules. When's the last time we went out west so often?

Maybe 4* and high-end 3* recruits won't choose upper-echelon P5s to be their 3rd string (insert position here). This will shake itself out to find a nice balance in the end.

My guess is an OC & a DC will be hired, but are probably higher-profile names coaching for teams in bowl games at the moment. Every coach that has been announced is either unemployed, not in a bowl game, or a GA.
