What we don't 100% know on Kent State was how much of their struggling was also because Burns was an awful game day coach. Maybe (and it's a stretch) they really weren't THAT comically bad last year and they could surprise people with a couple wins. Still agree with Akron blowing them out here, but I wouldn't be shocked if Kent was just "run of the mill bad" this year and not otherworldly bad.

The rare game where the Zips are the better coached team. Definitely a shot to win here.

No, but I know their opponent fairly well

Nice write-up, I enjoy these. Wyoming by about as much as they want probably, but I enjoy the write-ups.

They'll enjoy not having to spend money on a bowl that their probably 2-10 team wouldn't get to anyways.

To have Moorhead do something dumb enough to get out from under the contract? Or is 8-28 and academically ineligible OK now?

I believe it only applies to scholarship athletes.

3 carries, 4 yards in the season debut in front of a Kent State type crowd

Well that didn't help either

There's a pathway to it. It just requires a bit of luck with other stuff - and the Zips aren't getting that luck today.

Well at least the MAC title game was fun.

Probably a shot at a 10 with that fact pattern.

Well this one went exactly as many on here said it would. Akron would come back and Miami would cool off. Now they get a few days off before what sure looks like a trip to Seattle

2/11, so basically

Akron can come back...but that was not a great first half.

Gotta start hitting those threes and fast if the defense is going to be AWOL

He's showing off that Kent intelligence, I see

Better tonight than at home against PCCC

I enjoyed it because I enjoy watching football, but it was about as competitive as the CFP has been since it started in 2014. And the BCS before it And most of college football, really

I mean if you really want it to 12, and in that geographic frame, you could try to obtain three of the FCS teams that fit (Youngstown State, Indiana State, Dayton, Valpo)...really not sure what interest they'd have given the $5M buy to FBS and how little more the MAC actually provides anyone.

I kinda hope so, but doubt it...who exactly would want Akron right now?

With the other sports move to something like the Horizon League, their net travel probably decreases by a fair margin even though football jumps.

Having a team that has a chance to win SOMETHING will probably result in more fans. Adding that all of their games would be on Saturdays, instead of this late season Tuesday/Wednesday garbage...yeah, attendance would rise in this instance. Would it make up for the loss of body bag game money? Probably a reason why they're not making this move just yet...

It's not just you.

It appears that commitment time has to be made after your second year at the academy. So I guess freshmen/sophomores have the option (though it's something that doesn't happen often, obviously)
