I think you may have misunderstood me. Matt Campbell coached at Toledo for 5 seasons. I disliked him back then, and I don't like him at Iowa State now.

Blows my mind how many people want Matt Campbell to be the next Browns coach. I'll admit I've always disliked him since his days at Toledo. Not many college coaches are successful in the NFL without any previous NFL experience. Can't imagine if guys like Spurrier and Saban couldn't do it, that a guy who is 15-17 and barely beat Akron this season would succeed in the NFL. But hey, the Browns have always been good at picking coaches.

There's a reason they look "high school." It the stock script font they took from the Nike Uniform catalog and just started slapping it on everything. Nike Basketball Uniform Builder Nothing really unique about it and it is hard to read.

Need need need some points Zips!

This is how I feel. How many times have the Zips started 2-0? Never? At least not since I have been a fan. Can't be disappointed in 2-1, but the Zips need to seize this moment. Just once I want to see us make a run like UCF, FAU, NIU, or even Toledo.

Also, the BigTen Network games usually show up on my Fox Sports Go app on AppleTV and Roku. Probably some sort of partnership there.

Anyone know what happened with the Navy jerseys? It was reported on Twitter that due to "logistics" they we're forced to bring these old jerseys out. Hopefully it wasn't the football teams fault or something money related. That would be embarrassing... Also hope this fixed soon. Nothing better than the classic gold helmet with navy jersey and gold pants. I really don't like the huge focus on blue and white lately with Zips sports.

I was thinking the same thing. Usually you can tell the Zips don't belong on the field with some of these bigger schools. Even in the Michigan game a few years back it seemed like we got lucky just to be close. Kent looked like they belonged. They were fast and moving the ball with no problem at times. They were playing to win. Bowden plays it slow and safe.

Looks like he could be the best QB in the MAC.

Better recruits, luck, coaching, I don't know honestly. But they have all made it further than Akron and even after coaching turnover they consistency win. Maybe after the disaster last season I don't have much optimism for Zips basketball. I just don't feel good about the future.

I think the KD era showed us the ceiling for Zips basketball. Just making the tournament is probably the best thing we'll ever see, and I don't think we would have made it any further had he stayed. KD could always make it to the big game, win a few, but that's about it. The Zips never really seemed to live up to the potential we saw in them. Maybe we just overrated them? I don't know. Can't think that a new arena would have made any difference. As much as I would like Akron to become Gonzaga, Butler, VCU or Loyola, I just don't see it ever happening.

I know he's probably disappointed, but we all have to be relieved. Hopefully he'll stay at UA for a long time.

Zips can't score anymore. Going to cost them the game...

Can't blame a guy for wanting to be in Orlando, instead of Akron. Just unfortunate that anytime we get someone good at UA they move on to greener pastures.

In 2015 the NCAA put strict guidelines on which types of facemasks are allowed to be worn. A lot of schools pay around with fun designs, but they are only allowed for show.

I'm still wishing we'd see Akron knock off a ranked team. being so close with Michigan shows that it's possible. Do that and get us to bowl games consistently. I'm sure we'd all like to see the Zips end up like Toledo, NIU, WMU, etc. But I think we're just too far off for that.

With the way this game is going, wouldn't be surprised if they overturn the call. Imagine challenging a play like that in a blowout.

Think I've counted 2 facemask calls on Kato that have been missed too. One even included the defender shoving his helmet into the ground after the play.

Exactly what I was thinking. Almost like everyone knows FAU is going to win so the Zips don't even deserve to be there. Seems like they even waited to throw the targeting flag.

Don't think anything would make me happier than seeing the MAC send two teams to the tournament, right after KD bailed. Even if neither of those teams were the Zips. Just to stick it to him.

I can't help but realize how different this year has felt. Aside from the Marshall game, the Zips have really been competitive and won the game we are supposed to. Seemed like these past few games are the ones KDs teams found a way to give away.

What a 1-2 punch Utomi and Ivey have become. Really fun to watch.

Horrible all. No way that is a foul.

Really feels like every Zips opponent is shooting like 90%. Really lacking hustle on the Akron team. Needed to step it up.
