Crimony. When does basketball start?

Minor league baseball became “fun” for the whole family. There’s things for the kids, things for young adults, even us old farts. The games are fun. It’s added entertainment for the time and money you’re paying. You can still have a good time when your team is eating s***. Why not have trivia contests, where fans text the answer? First correct answer wins a coupon for a free meal? A ball cap? It costs nothing, and gets people thinking about their school or alma mater or the local college team. What other ideas do we have to break the stigma of being a community college in the shadow of The OSU?

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

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.
