Blue & Gold

I like them. Clean. I don't want them to do much to them. I love our uniforms. They removed the AKRON font from the front & added the Fear the Roo head. I'm alright with that, though I do like Akron on the front of the jersey. Last year our jersey AKRON font was different than the script AKRON font on our helmets. Looks like there are numbers on the shoulders.

7) George Thomas reported that we had one...

6'5, 305 OT/DL Tyler Leopold of Ottawa-Glandorf HS. Ottawa's a small school (D5), so his competition will be questionable, but I've heard of this kid. He was 1st Team All-Ohio. Big body. That's OL size, but his commitment pic ^^ specifies DL, so that's a big, 305 lbs. DT! 💪

I noticed that too, but there's no way.

That is good film! That's a football player right there. Reminds me of Bubba's HS film. Craves contact.

I was excited when Bowden was initially hired and he had a good run, and did a great job bringing us back from the iCoachpocalypse. But the last couple of years... I don't know... something was different. He got lazy, or something. Recruiting was lackluster and virtually non-existent in NEO. That's just not acceptable. To give him credit, he did land Bubba out of HS, but, IIRC, we were his only D-1 offer. I still can't get over how excellent the offense was his first year with Dalton at QB. Bowden's demise, as has been pointed out ad-nauseum, was his undying loyalty to Milwe. God bless Bowden, loyal to a fault.

Holley's gonna play WR

Well that's a gut-punch. He'd always said Akron was his dream school since he'd been a kid.

I wish Marshall was back in the MAC. I miss the rivalry.

Charlie Kreinbucher, TE, 6'5", 228, Butler, PA

Awesome. I'm expecting a breakout year for Mikal. Hope I'm slightly more on target with that prediction than I was with Maishe.

@LZIp I like freshman LB Michael Snowden's quote tweet on that: I do appreciate the culture Arth & Co. are trying to build. If it takes hold it could be something we can all - the university and city - be sincerely proud of. But they've got to win.

Yeah, he was definitely a walk-on. Or, by this tweet, likely offered some sort of partial scholarship...

Pinky in Hippieland till at least '25-'26.

Here's a good article by Yahoo! detailing the payoff Ball State football has had in exercising patience with HC Mike Neu. Yahoo! Sports dot com
