  1. Bazzana has 2 more HRs tonight for the Clippers, too. These are my positives I'm holding onto after watching whatever crap JoeMo is doing.
  2. They were too busy trying to run cover for their precious P4 Suckeyes. As the game wore on, the realization that Akron is a more dominant soccer program than Ohio State really became evident in their tone and commentary. It was Louvre worthy.
  3. This team may just end up being special.
  4. (Pretend this is a zero)
  5. B1G+ is $14 after taxes for the month. However, I don't have any interest in giving the Big Ten any of my money, so I'll be following this on a stat tracker. Go Zips!
  6. Forecast looks good for this one, unlike last time when Nebraska dodged an upset loss in Scott Frost's debut. Unfortunately for us, this one won't be cancelled.
  7. Returning Minutes: Sharron Young - what leap can he take as a Sophomore? Returning Redshirt: Rich Brisco - does he have the ability and athleticism to go with the 6'8" 240 lbs frame? Newcomer: Big Stank - how does his game transition to the US?
  8. 1) Hopefully we remain healthy, but injuries are typically inevitable. The depth we have really protects against the problems last year's team faced when Harris went down early in the season. 2) If we thought last year's pace was crazy, wait until this year. We're more athletic, more lethal from 3, and bigger. Being 12 deep, we're going to have hockey line changes.
  9. 16 players are listed, which is 1 over the limit. 4 players 6'8" or taller. We had 2 guys at 6'8" last year. I'm also realizing most of the team wore platform shoes for measurements day. Tavari and Sharron are magically 6' this year.
  10. What is our base formation out of curiosity?
  11. Minor League baseball isn't much more appealing. Knowing the product isn't elite makes creating a memorable experience all that much more important. Prior to the Wyoming game, they had the area youth football teams behind the endzone that Wyoming was warming up in. The Wyoming players were high fiving and interacting with the kids the entire warmup. The kids were LOVING it and will remember that for a very long time. Focusing on what's controllable and making memorable experiences for fans - especially kids/families - isn't very difficult. Instead, the University seemingly loves to cater to those already invested in the program(s). There isn't even a family ticket option. I bought a season ticket just to consolidate 4 other games into 5 tickets for Wyoming to make it more affordable for my family (I'm not sure that's a publicly promoted offering, either, but it saved $8 per ticket). We could make an entire thread of suggestions with ways they can make the games more appealing for people, especially families, regardless of the product on the field. The fact of the matter is, until the suits in charge start thinking outside the box and caring about more than just the donors' experience, Akron will continue to struggle with marketing.
  12. This. Akron being so bad at marketing/fan engagement has never made sense to me. They have one of the top marketing franchises in all of minor league baseball 2 minutes down the road. Figure it out.
  13. Tahj doing Tahj things.
  14. The Serb is worth a couple OOC wins in my eyes, so if he's on campus, that's massive.
  15. Zips had chances early with a laser off the upper 90 crossbar and WVU saved a corner header off the line. Was a hard fought, well deserved tie. Onto the next.
  16. No, in my opinion, this was the most embarrassing for me. We're in year 4 of a highly paid, highly touted offensive minded HC. We're banned from postseason play because an archaic and apparently subjective NCAA academic standard. We have a very, VERY favorable schedule that should('ve) allowed us a chance to push the NCAA to drop the punishment, and we come out against a really bad Wyoming team and put up 0 points. 0. We scored vs Ohio State last year and can't score vs Wyoming this year. Unbelievably pathetic and embarrassing.
  17. It's a 6-7 win schedule for even a bad football program. The regression tonight on offense wasn't on my bingo card. This was the most embarrassing loss I've ever witnessed as an Akron football fan.
  18. Fire JoeMo. Make Tibesar the interim coach. Go find a homeless guy to coach the offense.
  19. Tibesar won't be here next year
