The Zips are on fire! Best offense in college football right here. I've always said that.

If you download the iHeartRadio app, you can listen for free via your phone. Just search for 640 WHLO.
I'm piping it in via wifi and Bluetooth'ing it to my stereo in the basement.
Thanks! Just did this because I was super confused. Sitting here waiting for CMU to score and nothing happened 😂

I don't have a live feed. Is the game at Halftime? Gamecast says halftime but also says CMU has the ball at the 2 yard line.

Yes we are.
Well we are smoking them now. So at least we're better than a team from the NEC.
Run up the score now lol.

No disrespect to Duquesne, but there is absolutely no reason this game should be this close. We are BAD, really bad.

Moorhead is a bust. Time to try again.
Zips football has taught me to be careful what you wish for. It can, and usually does, get worse.
Unless we can come up with an absolute slam dunk of a coach I don't think it's going to make a difference.

Not sure if this has been mentioned. But I was confused as to why the UAB players all had different names on the jerseys. They are wearing the names of kids battling serious illnesses and they give the jerseys to the kids at the end of the season. Pretty awesome gesture.

These have to be the two worst coached teams I have ever watched. So many costly mistakes on both sides.

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

Nebraska Offensive Line:
Tackle 6'5 325
guard 6'6 320
center 6'1 315
guard 6'5 315
tackle 6'10 320
Zips had 1 qb hurry and zero sacks against wyoming. Raiola threw 42 times against Cincinnati. Good chance he tops that...
I think i'm taking the huskers -34.5...
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.

And now Wyoming is marching down the field
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.

The last time I've seen 11 guys struggle this badly to score was back in college when I took my fraternity brothers to 69 Taps
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.

ESPN+
God, I hate streaming.
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.

The Exchange Street
demolitionrenovation project is finally done & it looks nice.Also, there is now a Swenson's in the plaza at the corner of Exchange and Goodkirk 🙏🙌🙏🙌
I noticed it for the first time yesterday & stopped by. I asked the young girl working there how long they'd been open and she said "I just started working here, but about 3 years." What?
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.-

Freeman had a huge game vs Cleveland today in the summer league.
19 pts and 7 rebounds in 30 minutes.
Dumbest thing the Cavs have done in a long time is draft Jaylon Tyson instead of Freeman.

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.

Time will tell.
Guthrie was a joke that did nothing at UA but place an Arby’s blight on it that probably can’t be scrubbed away for a decade. And he bamboozled many into believing he was better than the sack of garbage he was. Even after he shirked his promises made to UA and bolted for Fordham some still make excuses for his profoundly forgettable tenure. The only positive from Guthrie is Fordham basketball’s probation. Karma is a bitch.
Go Goodrich. If you focus on getting the football program to respectability instead of joining the “I wouldn’t have built that stadium” unimaginative losers, you will have piqued my interest. We’ll build off of that.
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"?

Trying to predict this team's starting 5 and rotations is silly. Here's the key, and @Zippy87 eluded to it - we are way more matchup proof this year than we were last year. Our rotations are going to be very malleable based on whomever we are playing.
Evan will pretty much be a staple no matter what strengths our opponents have because he's so versatile, athletic, and a great defender. Against a taller team, we can utilized more of the Barre/Lyles/Brisco/MMK/Evan combinations. Against more guard oriented teams, we'll just insert any 3 guards in addition to Evan and one of the bigs. Need more offense? Throw Evan at the "5" and run any 4 of the other guards.
Zippy87 said we'll have 6 guys in the rotation that will be 6'3" or taller. We'll actually have 7, maybe 8 if Josh Henderson plays as a true freshman. Scott and Head are also both 6'2", so not far off. All but Sharron, Tavari, and Perkins will be 6'2"+.

I legitimately think we got better despite losing Nate & Okonkwo. This roster is going to be VERY formidable. LET'S GO ZIPS!
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.

I've only lived in two states, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Naturally I have grown to DESPISE both OSU and PSU. Probably more excited about Penn State losing to both Oregon and UCLA, than I am about the Zips win today.
All these cocky and arrogant people who have never attended those schools are insufferable. I always say I'd rather watch Akron lose every single game than be a bandwagon fan of a school I have no connection to.
