And 13 spots ahead of Washington State I get it they're G6 now and completely irrelevant, but a likely bowl team from the PAC still shouldn't be in the 100s
-
1-1 - lost 56-20 in 1991 at East Carolina, per winsapedia 1-2 against NC-based teams (thanks iCoach), but the second loss was in Akron.
-
This also increases the chances of Barstool promoting one of the Tuesday night games. Which, given they don't get the boost of playing Kent on a Tuesday, those garbage dates need all the help they can get.
-
This does two things. 1 - as you note before, absolutely that's a piece of it 2 - for effectively free, the Zips add another piece of the PR cycle and get even more coverage of the event. They're really playing this perfectly.
-
Kidding aside, with everyone playing everyone twice, taking the best record and giving them the berth makes the most sense...but the MAC tournament makes too much money to do that.

Akron’s tiny athletic budget is producing outsized results

We can't offer what AAC teams offer, either. That's the part that *might* change, but it's still pretty unlikely. -

Yeah, that's the only way this constant churn is going to slow down. -
No no that makes sense. I just figure a patch is a patch
-
As long as the check clears, I guess I don't care.
-
All kidding aside...I do wonder if Moorhead would rather the winner know nothing about football coaching...or be someone who HAS coached at some level before.
-
They certainly may. The key is going to be "is Poffenbarger a good MAC QB?" If he is, Akron can win the whole darn league. If he's not, Akron will win 3 or 4 games.
-
I believe they DO have a pregame tailgate party set up for the opener.
-
That's just it - if Goodrich is going to leave (and, let's be honest he's probably looking for a better paying gig, though you can live comfortably on the UA salary, I'm sure)...they gotta make sure his successor keeps the forward momentum going, or it'll be as if it never happened.
-
The Athletic Department has been so passive and just not engaging with the community for so long that it's just going to take time. If this promotion kick starts a bit, that's a good start.
-
Ah yes Akron's radio play by play voice wouldn't have seen anything in practices or in talking with coaches to make us think "hey this guy might surprise."
-
Seems like the sort of thing you could see them do for the Pop Tart Bowl too, given how screwy that thing has become.
-
He's here in 27 unless he quits. They can't afford to pay the buyout. That said even if they could 6-6 would make him completely safe.
-
Gotta wonder if they don't do Akron on one of the Tuesdays - it's not the day of the "playcalling" event, but who knows. That this is even a consideration...
-
If this is the Moorhead we usually got speaking publicly, I think we'd all think a little better of him.
-
Honestly zero, because Moorhead still will be relaying the call, so he's got the final say and can change it.
-
I think you almost HAVE to make it an annual promotion, right? Keep trying new things, though! There's actual buzz for the Zips!
-
I would love to see them put it on ESPNU or something that's an actual TV channel. It's unlikely, but no longer an impossibility...
-
Ohhh okay. That makes sense. That's a smart way for them to do it.
-
What does this mean? Buying the $75 general admission season ticket and switching it for a couple games in the better seats?
-
If they're smart, they're using some of the payout for a few season tickets.
