Well, it could be worse

Hello

Let's just throw into double coverage. Then we'll be unsportsmanlike. Same system we used last season.

...and they convert on 4th down

Well that post didn’t last long. LOL

Gotcha. I don’t disagree unfortunately. He seems to have lost the team. They've brought in a lot of talent…

Kent’s within 10 of the #1 ranked team. I have no words…

?

Is it just CBus, or is it a growing trend in most sports now? Whether it’s auto racing, baseball, hell anything outside the NFL attendance is horrible. Fans still watch the games, but in their air conditioned home on their wall-sized TV. Where the food doesn’t require a second mortgage and doesn’t taste like the wrapper. Price gouging over the years doesn’t help, where you pay a fee for the privilege of buying the tickets, then the high local entertainment tax. Not that cable companies and cable channels aren’t in out wallet as well, but that’s a different rant for another day.

The game mercifully ends. Liberty is an interesting match up. Not necessarily in a good way…

Dozed off there for just a minute… still heard wayyy too much of this TV commentator.

Toledo just put 7 on tOSU. Tied the game up

He left the game with "right latissimus discomfort". I'm no doctor but looking where it's at, it's not something a pitcher wants in his contract year.

J.T. Is pitching for the Pirates tonight, the game is on Fox, the main one (channel 8 in Zip Country

I doubt anybody would disagree...

IMO it's a hotbed of high school football, pro football, and one college. I can see it in a way, the Bengals lost three Super Bowls, the Browns haven't made it. Then there's a top ten college program (the only one that gets ranked most weeks), with the name "Ohio" that everybody can get behind, and wins national championships. Five thus far. I can see that being popular, and I can see how fans from the other dozen colleges that play football shrug and wonder why. That's how I was raised, my parents were from central Ohio.

Truth. You brought up the bigger problem that I've been noticing looking at population loss in Rust Belt Ohio. This is a state with ten D1 universities, a total of fourteen public universities. College enrollment is dropping. Akron has two other D1 universities within a half hour (with me driving) and another one within an hour. I don't want to restart the consolidation topic but if you're going to discuss upgrading the football program you might want to look at the region. How many college fans living in this saturated market are migrating south or west and leaving their snow shovels behind? The popularity of college football in Ohio outside of 411 Woodie Hayes Drive is baaaad. The MAC averaged 15,333 fans per game, worst in the FBS. Ten FCS programs drew better (none in Ohio BTW). It's a catch 22. You can put together a really nice season and play in a bowl game, but the public sees you getting smoked by a couple B10 behemoths. Or try to make up those seven figures through professional marketing (bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha) and winning games. Neither is guaranteed to work.

I have Balls and Butfalo circled on my calendar.

Is there a way to watch on TV or stream?

See also military boot camp. It worked well for Woodie Hayes and Bobby Knight, to name a few. My high school football coach left a profound impression on me.

Building a football roster, basically from scratch at several positions, is not going to happen overnight. Especially where the new coaching staff and scouting staff have to come together with a short calendar compared to the 127 other FCS programs who had months longer to recruit, sign, and play the transfer portal. This is NOT going to be an easy season. That said, with camp and practices and games under their feet, adjustments made, we should be knocking off MAC fodder by the end of the season. And have a crystal clear vision going into the next recruiting cycle, which has just started.

I picked two. Explain that? Too many variables. New coaching staff (thankfully). New players brought in. New products in the team shop. I was joking about the new products...

The Zips Club Hockey team released their schedule, first home game is September 16 against Dayton at Center Ice, 8319 Port Jackson Ave NW, North Canton, OH This is the fall schedule, they must be playing split seasons now. I haven't been able to go for several years, but plan on making some games this season.

I raced online for years, ran several series. Dirt late models, pavement lates, We used “NASCAR Legends” as street stocks. We also ran old school offline (against the AI) NASCAR Cup. iRenting I mean iRacing had all the servers shut down and I got out. I still race against the AI every week. We miss the good old days, never a dull moment in the chat room between races, haven’t laughed like that since.
