Spin

That thought did cross my mind.

Delay of game with the ref standing between the QB and C???

17-3 at the half, trucking along pretty good until they wiped out our #1 qb. For the first time in my memory we weren’t humiliated against a top 10 program. The two QB set looked janky against a top 10 juggernaut. Let’s play Rutgers straight up and if Finley is ready bring back the new twist against Colgate and get the bugs worked out. Then move on from there. In the back of my mind it’s a gimmick until proven otherwise. Overall I’m more excited about the program than I have been in quite awhile. Gotta go do family stuff, will have more later.

Just so they don’t roll him back out there

The jury is still out with the multiple QB thing.

Quite a bit better.

So if the QB has to go through concussion protocol, why didn’t they call unnecessary roughness?

Your turn D

Akron leads the Worthless Nuts. Defense it’s your turn

Almost a personal file (led with helmet)

We just got a stop…

They’re hoping nobody recognizes them

Chris took the loss today against the Cardinals, there was a weather delay and he seemed to come off the wrong end. He ended up with 5 hits and 3 runs (after the rain delay) and took the loss. He’s 9-11 4.30 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP for the Jays.

Nope I see what I’m typing, but when I hit send it’s blank.

Chris has a 9-11 record with the Jays, with a 4.30 ERA and 129 K’s. Next start is tomorrow 8/17 at the Cubs. Its players weekend.

I’ve tried responding twice and my posts disappear. No explanation.

We need a snoring emoticon. Man that was brutal.

True, from the university website they enroll 11,323.

I’m looking at the Akron live sports market. If you can’t grasp that, let’s try something else. Toledo market size: 518,300, the university has 15,013 enrollment. Attendance: 21,352 Akron market size: 556,000, and the university has 25,117 enrollment. Attendance: 7,237 The difference? Fanbase engagement. Student engagement. Winning helps too. Toledo eats our lunch when it comes to marketing.

I came across this article which talks about something they talked about a dozen years ago. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/07/cleveland-state-freezes-42-bachelors-masters-degrees-while-it-retools-eliminates-programs-officials-say.html

Former Akron head coach Jim Tressel was named to the Baldwin Wallace Board of Trustees.

That makes too much sense. Which is why it’ll never happen.

Those costs get hidden in the student loans most students take out.

Here’s another thought. The Akron Rubberducks lead the league in attendance. Yes it’s minor league, but it’s baseball in Akron. They drew 3,900 fans per game to downtown Akron. That might not sound like much but they play 5 or 6 times a week. 70 home games a season X 8 minor league teams in Ohio. What do they do better? How do they engage the fans? Akron. Has. No. Clue. They can’t sell football in northeast Ohio. Some high schools draw more football fans. I went to Akron, and still lost interest in the Zips. In the right hands, it could be exciting again.
