Blue & Gold

Ali waved Trimble off for the go ahead 3 w/ 6 seconds left in the game. That was a great shot & I was glad to see him have confidence like that.

ABJ article previewing Golden Flushes Idk if it was a premeditated shot at KD, but concerning Duquesne-transfer PG Sincere Carry, Senderoff said this: I think for him, he’s really enjoying playing basketball again. I think the best version of him is getting ready to come out.

Definitely! Even during the WVU scrimmage I posted something like "Thank you, Huggy Bear for showing us how it's done!" WVU didn't hold back one iota & we looked so much more focussed offensively and sold-out defensively than we did for the scrimmage. Perfect preseason scrimmage. Thank you Huggins!

Good. Enjoy the bench. I love the heart and hustle we showed on defense last night. Bryan Trimble looks like he’s REALLY improved his defensive intensity. Love to see it!

The Mid-American Conference (MAC) announced today that it will not pursue membership expansion at this time. The decision was made after study of the collegiate athletics environment and dialogue among the directors of athletics and presidents of the 12 member institutions. “Following analysis and evaluation by the membership, it has been determined our best interests are served in the Conference remaining at 12 full member institutions,” said Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. “For some time we have been examining the FBS landscape, and certainly our discussions have been more focused over the past several months as our Conference was contacted by other institutions. While a number of institutions have expressed interest, we never requested any institution to apply for membership nor did we have a formal or informal vote concerning any institutions.” “Our focus will continue to be on building upon the strengths of our Conference – providing a student-centered academic and athletics experience, celebrating long-standing relationships and rivalries, and maintaining our tight geographic proximity to one another,” Steinbrecher added. “Today’s announcement is intended to end the speculation that has been occurring.” Recognizing the dynamic environment of higher education and intercollegiate athletics, the Mid-American Conference will continue to monitor the membership landscape.

Our defense was fantastic last night. I know Groce stresses D, but I can’t help but feel our scrimmage w/ WVU showed our guys first hand what true, sold-out commitment to that end of the floor looks like. I hope Groce & Co. can motivate the guys to maintain that level of defensive intensity.

Thanks! (I’m out of Likes.)

Cory Smigel has more moxie in his little toe than I've had my entire life 🤣

You've mentioned this before. Where do you get that? And, why would a high school coach look down his nose at someone with Arth's football background?

Gibson >> Irons >>>>> Kato. Yet Kato was the starter for the first... I don't remember how many games? Idk. Maybe Gibson's improved a lot since Fall Camp. Idk, it's just weird, as Gibson is crystal-clearly head and shoulders above Kato. I like DJ. But I LOVE the QB Gibson's become.

Good job, D! Give credit where credit is due.

Ugh. And Smigel missed the PAT.

PICK 6!!!!!!!!!

TOUCHDOWN AKRON!!!!!! GIBSON TO MUMPFIELD!!! Extra point good! Down 7. Let's go D 😭😭😭

Cover this kickoff & let's go D!!!

TOUCHDOWN ZIPS!!!

Ouch. WMU just housed the kickoff.

Held to a field goal. But it's a game! Only down by 7. 6:18 left in the 3rd.

Ooof, Gibson missed a wide open TE on the 5 yard line. Good play call. Now it's 3rd & 9 on the 20-ish.

Good stop. Great sack by McClain. We've got the ball at the 50.

Yeah. Seems like MAC said no. It's nice to see we're not beggars. (Honestly, I was kind of excited about WKU, though.)

Great post, brother. (I'm almost always out of "Likes.")
