  1. Just so they don’t roll him back out there
  2. The jury is still out with the multiple QB thing.
  3. So if the QB has to go through concussion protocol, why didn’t they call unnecessary roughness?
  4. Akron leads the Worthless Nuts. Defense it’s your turn
  5. Almost a personal file (led with helmet)
  6. They’re hoping nobody recognizes them
  7. 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.
  8. Nope I see what I’m typing, but when I hit send it’s blank.
  9. 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.
  10. I’ve tried responding twice and my posts disappear. No explanation.
  11. We need a snoring emoticon. Man that was brutal.
  12. True, from the university website they enroll 11,323.
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. Former Akron head coach Jim Tressel was named to the Baldwin Wallace Board of Trustees.
  16. That makes too much sense. Which is why it’ll never happen.
  17. Those costs get hidden in the student loans most students take out.
  18. 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.
  19. I disagree. The best rivalries are local rivalries where fans (in most cases) travel to the away games (if you consider 14 miles is “traveling”). A rivalry in Muncie or DeKalb isn’t going to move the needle. Toledo or Dayton is pushing it. It has to start at the top, and I get the feeling the top people of these schools do t give a rats as about athletics. Ohio State has been stealing their lunch for decades, and they’re just hoping to move on to something more prestigious. Or a nice pre-retirement money grab.
  20. Why go to a weeknight game and then drive home and then get up for work the next morning? If you stay home and Akron is way behind you can flip the channel or go to bed.
  21. KEWL!!! I’m tired of using different LA Rams uni’s and adjusting player settings. And playing against NFL teams. It takes a LOT of imagination!!!
