  1. Someone needs to put that wounded cow out of its misery.
  2. This is where the coaching staff comes in. Make adjustments. Because the other coach is doing it too... Overall I see a difference from last year (this is my first game watched live, been working a lot of game days).
  3. We're not getting shut out tonight. 😁
  4. It's a catch and we get 21 seconds
  5. Holy crap, who lit the fire under the receivers butts?
  6. Sounds/looks like a tib/fib fracture (tibia/fibula, the lower leg bones). Won't go into detail but they can be ugly.
  7. That's what I thought. If you're going to give up the rock, at least move the ball. If you get it, you got it. If you don't get the first down, same result as the FG try.
  8. So the DE who had his foot on the line of scrimmage when the ball was hiked, got the sack. Hope Coach Tibersar is taking notes.
  9. Well, it could be worse
  10. Hello
  11. Let's just throw into double coverage. Then we'll be unsportsmanlike. Same system we used last season.
  12. ...and they convert on 4th down
  13. Well that post didn’t last long. LOL
  14. Gotcha. I don’t disagree unfortunately. He seems to have lost the team. They've brought in a lot of talent

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

  16. 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.
  17. The game mercifully ends. Liberty is an interesting match up. Not necessarily in a good way

  18. Dozed off there for just a minute
 still heard wayyy too much of this TV commentator.
  19. Toledo just put 7 on tOSU. Tied the game up
  20. 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.
  21. J.T. Is pitching for the Pirates tonight, the game is on Fox, the main one (channel 8 in Zip Country
  22. I doubt anybody would disagree...
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
