ABJ: Akron Zips football coach Joe Moorhead cites NIL to motivate players

How I felt at the game last night and how I'm still feeling this a.m. I'm revising my preseason prediction of 5-7 down to 2-10. Going forward we only beat KSUcks. Another long autumn.

Here are links for the 3-part series on Dr. Miller from Signal Akron Part 1: U of A president Gary Miller pushed into retirement, emails show Part 2: 'Time is not our friend': Board moved to cement Nemer as new University of Akron president Part 3: Despite pushback over presidential search process, R.J. Nemer takes helm of University of Akron

Well... I'm going. I'm bringing my niece to her first Zips football game. We'd better not suck.

Thoughts?

😐

I'm watching the KSUcks game & St. Francis is pounding them on O and D in the first Q

🤣🤣😭😭

Agreed. Don't want to tempt fate but I can't resist posting this 😂🔥🔥

Are these the adjustments the coaching staff made? 4-0 vs. #13 VCU?! What an outcome!

The biggest thing is our ridiculously tough non-con schedule. We need W's.

Looks like Tahj may be getting the start?

I should have specified I was referring to the CBS television announcers. 😂 But yes, Paul Keels is probably the very best I've ever heard.

Also wanted to give credit to the announcers from the OSUcks game. They were extremely complimentary toward the Zippers & didn't really try to make any excuses for OSU. As the teams were going into their tunnels at halftime the announcers said, "Akron has come to play. Akron fans should be proud of their team," or words to that effect. Coming into the 2nd half they mentioned things they were impressed with during the first half. The first thing they mentioned was Akron's D.

Here is QB commit Cibastian Broughton's sophomore year highlights (I couldn't find a tape of his junior year highlights). He plays in Florida's 7A division, which is the division for Florida's largest schools. Tell me he doesn't look like precisely the kind of QB JoeMo's looking for to run his O 💪💪 Cibastian Broughton's Junior Year Highlights

Did we get a postgame presser from JoeMo?

That 3rd CSU goal was weak @$$ sh!t on our part. Pussyfooting around in front of your own goal like that?!?! 🤮🤮🤮

Rewatched the first 3 quarters again yesterday just because I was so pleased with how we looked. We were holding our own & definitely not getting pushed around by the best college team money can buy. I remember days when we'd play P4 teams & I'd just cross my fingers praying we'd ever manage to force a punt on D or get a first down on O.
