So what we're back to is Embick needing to get his ass in gear and rediscover the magic?

What type of resources/funding did Porter have compared to other "elite" programs? (Legitimate question as I do not know)

Akron's brand hasn't severely degraded. They've elevated to the Big East and still possess national notoriety. They are 14 years removed from a National Championship and only 6 years removed from their 3rd National Title Game appearance in 9 seasons (at the time). They had 5 College Cup appearances from 2009-2018. We have one of the nicer soccer facilities in the country and can have some of the best fan support. The Akron brand is fine. The issue is, the further Embick gets away from the Porter era, the worse the program gets. I'm well aware the grass isn't always greener, but I'm seeing a "comfortable" coach and program, not a hungry one. I believe Akron would easily be able to attract a hungry coach that can get this program back to where it needs to be - where we expect it to be.

Not to mention the number of players who run into the end zone and drop the ball. That's as egregious as spinning, punting, throwing, etc., but is never called.

So the subjectiveness comes in with which refs want to actually enforce this BS, which is the gripe I had last night.

Kent is like a boxer prepping for a fight by getting hit over and over again to build toughness. The issue is, they're doing this in the Salty Spatoon when their skill level is meant for the Weenie Hut Jr.

Onside kicking Kent up 30-0 in the first quarter is next level awesome. They're my SEC darlings simply for that. Go Vols!

Can't tell if this is serious or sarcasm...

Stanford Steve on GameDay said to absolutely take Tennessee with the points (-49 was the line). His reasoning, "It's not as much about Tennessee, but more about how bad Kent has been."

You can't spin the ball on a touchdown celebration? Ok ref. Hope that gives you some extra spunk when you tell yourself in the mirror before bed that you're awesome.

When Finley is given time, he has pretty good accuracy on his down-field throws.

A competent team doesn't make one of those mistakes.

What a punt. If JoeMo wants to do the right thing, he'll forfeit the remainder of his contract. Someone PM me when we hire a new coach.

Are you f'ing kidding me?

Opening drive TD by Colgate. Huge chunk plays the entire drive. Wow.

Ohio's message board started this trend a while back when there is a coaching change. TOS stands for Tim O'Shea, one of OU's former basketball coaches. Essentially, I'm asking when Embick will be relieved of his duties so we can find a coach who will help us rediscover our excellence.

When is the "TOS to Akron Soccer" thread going to start and who is going to start it?

Will the NCAA allow us to use 10 offensive lineman vs South Carolina? Their DLine is going to destroy us.

True. Choosing to be that negative prior to the game is certainly a choice. No. Kenni Burns was signed to an extension earlier this year. He's not going anywhere, thankfully.

Whoa... What will people freak out about now?!

Sure. Picked 2nd but zero 1st Team selections. Ok.
