Who cares??? They should be marketing it, no matter what the interest is.

Not sure where to put this, but a nice read about Bowden/Amato's time here. Seems they were aware (and Zipsnation had an accurate pulse) that their job was on the line this season. http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/index.ssf/2017/11/terry_bowden_chuck_amato_akron_zips.html

They seem to score a lot, but don't play much defense. Sounds par for the course for a D'Antoni-led squad. Beat the Thundering Turd!

A freshman QB kicking their ass is what happened

I did. Figured why not. Still not sure I see the value in $35 for a 1.5 hour "party" where alcohol isn't included....but oh well!

Sounds like bobcatattack as well.

That post was made back in September, when the 1-3 Zips struggled to beat BGSU.

So B&G has the inside scoop then I thought I remembered Blunt played LB when I watched a few games earlier in the year. Then again, I can hardly remember everything I did yesterday.

Has anyone received info regarding their tickets yet? The rep told me I would receive all kinds of info, but I haven't gotten any emails yet. Hopefully he didn't write it down wrong!

Like others have said, I liked Ivey's game last night. That's what we need from him going forward. Take it to the hole when there is an opening and let the jump shots come to you. We need make some mistakes that lead me to think we aren't a very good team right now, albeit winning. Was it Parrish who had a dumb foul towards the end of the game?? Anyways, hopefully those types of mistakes are just a sign of youth and we'll continue to work those kinks out. Utomi...........sheesh. We are 4 games into his sophomore season, and I haven't been a fan near as long as some of you, but I think he's the best all around player I've seen in the program. If he can continue to score like he has been, I think we can hang with anyone on our schedule. Then again, his off nights could be ugly because it seems we are really only getting more than a bucket here and there out of Utomi, Ivey, Duvivier, Sayles, and sometimes Parrish. The only consistent one seems like its been Utomi.

I was thinking the same thing.

Well, Keener either quit the site again or was banned, but he asked me to quote his post for the record so I'm doing it!

Like I said...personal preferences for me is Florida or Detroit. If its in Boise again I doubt I would go just due to cost/inconvenience. I doubt the players care too much, they seemed to enjoy themselves the last time we were out there. But a game against the most overrated QB this decade (Josh Allen) would probably get us the most exposure out of any of the games! I would like the chance for our DBs to pick him off a few times and embarrass him.

I know we are talking about different sports here, but don't tell me you wouldn't have rather faced Kent with stakes on the line for both teams last Tuesday. I'm glad we won and glad we are where we are, but a competitive Kent makes it more fun. Look no further than OU and why some consider them a bigger rival than Kent anymore.

His name is Kostas Antekokpoumpos (not going to look up this spelling, but I think you'll get the point). I believe he was a top 100 ranked player coming out of HS but I believe he had to redshirt last year due to injury. He is the brother of NBA phenom Giannis and the youngest of 4 brothers. While he is a big man (6'11" I believe), he is supposed to be the best shooter in his family. I haven't seen him shoot much in the 2 games I've watched though. He definitely influenced the game when he was in there, but him minutes were limited due to foul trouble. I'm a big fan of Giannis, so thats why I'm intrigued by him.

I appreciate the insight! I'm no recruiter, but I like everything I've seen/heard about him. We don't have a QB in this class yet so I hope he ends up getting an offer from us.

Really just need more out of Ivey, Parrish, and Duvivier if you want to win a game like this. Or offense from anybody outside of Sayles and Utomi. I'm pretty disappointed with Ivey so far this season. Saw him getting into it with the coaching staff last game and he really hasn't brought much to the table yet. Yes he is dealing with a new system, but so is everyone else. I hope he can get it going.

Turns out I am wrong. Leaving all of these guys open for 3s seems to be what is costing us.

Just about as bad of a start to the 2nd half as you could think of.

Pleasantly surprised to go into the half with the lead. Utomi balling. Need to minimize Baby Greek's impact on the game. If we can do that, I think we win.

I would too. I'm not sure we're ready to beat a bowl eligible P5 team, though.

I was just checking to see if Mentor won. Any idea why he doesn't have any FBS offers at this time?

My head tells me we lose by 2 scores. I said it before and I'll say it again, last game got away from us quickly and we just don't have the offensive firepower to keep up. I don't think they are really 4 scores better than us. We can't let them drive down our throats multiple times in the first quarter. The wildcard I think is Kato and how Coach Amato adjusts his game plan this time around. An adjusted game plan on D could help, but this isn't OU or WMU who are one dimensional teams. Toledo can beat you on the ground or through the air. Assuming he gets the start, Kato brings a bit of a different dimension to the offense with his running ability. The real key is which Kato we will get. The Miami game and Kent game (outside of the first drive) were not very good, and obviously the OU game was pretty great. If we get OU Kato then we have a chance to win. May be asking a lot for a freshman, but its just the reality when the offense isn't really filled with exceptional skill players to help him out. Someone said we probably made the championship a year too early and I agree with that. We need to play our best game if we want to beat Toledo. Sidenote: I cannot believe a program like theirs has not been to the championship game longer than us!

I have trouble seeing that we will be anywhere that isn't a MAC contract bowl as there should be more than enough teams eligible.

Its a good thing we won our division.
