Barstool is polarizing, but I'm interested in seeing how they run this thing. They run things a little different and usually its pretty entertaining IMO. I can't imagine attendance would be that great considering we are the closest team to Phili, and still 6.5 hours away (and its on a Friday). I bet Jans has them finishing better than projected. Beating SDSU and MSU to start of the season would be pretty insane. Those are two wins that would mean a lot for seeding if we win the MAC tourney (I am not going to throw out the "a" word).

Their football team is actually pretty good.

Agreed. Outside of the guys we already knew about, I like what I saw out of those 2 and though Hunter didn't do much that showed up in the box score, he certainly looked the part. Its one game, but questions on new guys and who will step up already seem to be getting answered.

Luke Brown owned the Florida State Seminoles tonight.

Looked to me like he was getting pulled down.

Tribble stole the ball and missed a wide open lay up as time was expiring. Unacceptable at this level, but love the way the team rallied around to support him. How fitting he hits the game winning FT. Good for him.

Followed closely by “deuce”!

What an epic game.

Is it the t-shirt under the jersey ?

Clarke wide open three and finds air. Let’s go man!

OK Johnson. Freeman in foul trouble…

Others outside of X need to step up. He’s carrying us.

They are dominating us down low so far.didn’t think I’d say that

I thought the sound seemed off too lol

X is looking aggressive

This is bullshit

Pretty sure the problem would be on the U’s side. Other ones are working fine for me

10 mins in and stream hasn’t started yet on ESPN3..come on.

We never get any respect...probably better that way.

Wonder if this means our annual game with Marshall is now off the table since there would be a chance we play them twice in OOC?

Took some time to listen to Groce's interview on 88.1 this morning. He said they have 6 guys who are currently bought in to the "Akron way". Assume thats X, Freeman, Tribble, Clark, Hankerson, and Hunter. Not that the other guys aren't good teammates/hard workers/talented, just that he needs a few to take the next steps to fill out our 8 man rotation. Something to keep an eye on tonight and as the season progresses. Who will step up?

Sun Belt is kind of meh, but this is a better step for scheduling going forward. I hope there's some sort of method to matching up similar caliber teams.

Just watched Alabama go for it on less than 4th and 1 this past drive. Once out of the pistol and once out of shotgun. Of course they got it both times, but even Bama doesn’t go under center on 4th and short for whatever reason.

I don't think reducing capacity is necessarily a bad thing if its made up for in other ways. Student population is about half what it was a decade ago and "Joe Akron" doesn't come out to support the Zips like they did during the Dambrot years, though we've put together some of our best teams during Groce's tenure thus far.

I imagine we would have done it already if permitted, but selling the naming rights to a business and using the proceeds for renovations sounds like a win/win to me.
