The Zips defense deserves better. Our offense is atrocious. Feels like I'm watching the Browns.

I'm not sure there's been a more annoying QB in college football than Dylan Raiola. He wants to be Patrick Mahomes so bad it's cringeworthy.

It's just like watching the Browns. The defense can only do so much when the offense can't move the ball or sustain drives. Eventually they'll run out of gas.

You guys must have gone on Thursdays when they let in the Freshman and Sophomore girls 😂

I will say the defense has been really dang impressive. Probably going to jinx it, but their tackling has been fantastic.

Yeah I cancelled ESPN+ after basketball season ended and really don't want to resubscribe. I'll wait to see how the season starts before committing to another streaming service.

I'm so happy I don't have to root for the Pacers anymore! 🙌 Go Wolves.

This is awesome. When I was at UA they usually parked their food truck in the commons near Zook. It was really the only time I got to eat it. These college kids now have Chipotle, Chick-fil-a, Swensons and Arby's on campus?! We had Robs, Subway and the world's worst B-dubs.

Dumbest thing the Cavs have done in a long time is draft Jaylon Tyson instead of Freeman.

The Zips made an appearance in the College Football 26 trailer. Turnover Tire!

I remember when I was at UA, the football players always had a sense of entitlement and arrogance. The ones I had class with never showed up and when they did it was a joke. Crazy part is I was there during the Ianello years and the team was a complete joke, while the soccer team was competing for National Championships. Yet none of them acted that way. Probably doesn't help that Akron has to scrape the bottom of the barrel for guys who can't crack it at P5 schools. Naturally this leads to academic and behavioral issues. This culture has existed well before Moorhead and will exist afterwards. I'd like to think this is the kick in the butt this program needs. But honestly it feels like the beginning of the end.

Guthrie kept Groce happy and brought in Morehead which I still think is a solid move. He switched us over from Adidas to Nike, which is a huge upgrade and personally I love the new A logo. It's a massive upgrade from the script Akron it replaced. The new A is classic, timeless and feels like it fits Akron. I would however bring back Zippy in the branding as a secondary mark and do something about the fonts/wordmarks we use now. Just too bland for me. But overall I think we'll be in a better place now with Goodrich. I wonder how long it will take before Fordham gets rid of it's ram logo and is just uses the "F"?

The loss of Nate hurts, but did any of us expect him to be the MAC player of the year going into last season? Did anyone expect Freeman to become the GOAT? On paper I think a lot of people will be sleeping on the Zips. But I have faith that the coaches know what they are doing and we'll be better than last season. Just need some guys to keep getting better.

Well they picked a guy with the most Akron name ever. Can't be mad about that. Experience at Miami (FL) and South Florida is encouraging.

What is that, a city for ants?
