So after we get our ass kicked by Ohio U FOR FREE on Homecoming what will be the narrative then?

And with that said, who knew? I only knew about it because I live just outside of Bowie MD. No parade no nothing But if thats all you folks want is sports in your city and Alma Matar to basically be on the the level of irrelevance and questioning any effort made to overcome it then so be it. Hell, might as well give Arth a contract extension using the so called Ohio State Power 5 ass whippin Blood Money. Please do continue being Zips fans in Ohio State gear Sorry to shake the table

A forum full of old grumpy folks who want to the regress the program down to peewee football

I rather we take advantage of the LIMITED opportunities we have to compete against Power 5s while also getting paid in the process. As the old saying goes, You Wont Know Unless You Try. Jacksonville State recently upsetting Florida State is a prime example.

The CITY as a whole is the problem Crime in Akron is up, at this point in 2019 24 people had been murdered, in 2020 that number was 36, and so far in 2021, 39 people have been murdered. From year to date in 2019 police responded to 332 shooting incidents, in 2020 that number was 527 and so far in 2021 we are at 532. Through August police seized 916 guns, that’s a 60% increase compared to last year.

So UA sends me an email about Homecoming and then only has nosebleed tickets available Ooooooook

How about stop giving a damn about Akron Football since you are so invested in us basically playing NOBODY Since you basically want Akron to be a High School Football program go antagonize one of them and take Arth with you.

You have provided nothing but bullshit logic to support your claim. I provided COMMON SENSE in regards to advertising and marketing which everyone does. Unless you work in the accounting department do us all a favor and STFU

More like hey you got to play in a game on one of the biggest stages in college football. Be grateful for the opportunity and ignore the non paying alums who believe we should rather play shitty broke no name schools that have poor game attendance like us.

Some folks on here really believe in their heart that 1.075 million viewers has no positive impact on the University overall. Why even pay to run a damn commercial during the Super Bowl. Waste of time huh Everything is a waste of damn time.

SO based on your logic, why even have a athletic department at all

So which one of you delusional homers has access to the Akron Football Twitter account

Its truly sad and pathetic how ignorant and tone deaf to reality some of you folks are

Prime Time Saturday Night against Ohio State hmmmmm......... It will probably be a Decade before we get any exposure on the level that we got Saturday. The game was not only about the money. The exposure alone helped the University as a whole in regards to enrollment and notoriety. That game was basically a TV Ad we pay for to run during the Superbowl Annually but in this case we got a fat check and 3+ hours exposure with an audience of over a million viewers.

All i gotta say is $$$$$ dosen't grow on trees and when you can only draw less than 9,000 to a 30,000 seat stadium I dunno what and how folks expect the athletic department to generate revenue. For example That school in Columbus we just played generates $15 mil in revenue every home game compared to Akron who takes a financial loss not only every home game but also every conference road game too. Yeah good ol Bryant will draw fans huh So yall want more of this?

This is the dumbest post I've ever read on this site

Oh how dare the AD try to generate revenue

Unless you have a mil to donate to the athletic department I wouldn't comment on scheduling. As of now Power 5 payments cover our negligent fan base

Players and Fans want to see their Alma Mater play Power 5 schools. If you rather your school play bottom no name schools than you are old and senile and can probably name all PGA Tour Golfers from top to bottom. If anyone is offended by this then Yes I am talking about you.

This season was my dream schedule. If we get mad for scheduling to compete against the best then we Damn sure don't belong on a D1 level. In the past excluding HBCUs I got tired of us scheduling a bunch of no name schools. And we Damn sure need the money.

I see No Progress Can't compete in the MAC Need 4 quarters to put away DII schools at home. Can't last a half against Power 5s. Same results every year in the Arth Era that needs to Die

Victimizing Arth based on a lack of time of recruiting is BS. At the end of the day Arth flat out can't coach on a D1 level

Arth turned our program into a big fat wussy Congrats

I can't be happy about this game Sorry
