I wonder if that will impact his Jenny Craig NIL money.

A head's up to all of our GA season ticket holders- parking is not included with season tickets this year.

Here's the link for $10 tickets. Please don't overwhelm the server! https://fevo-enterprise.com/event/Wagonwheel

Where's that deal? I could use an extra $10. Oh, wait, they're not giving me $10?

Zips are -3.5 and the under/over is 38.5.

He's taking a spot Taylor Currie could be occupying, damnit!

I would think that's a tough sell when he left here a year before.

I'd have to think it arises from his 2 transfers in two years. I understand Bandaogo is going to have to sit out the year at Cincy for the same thing. I don't get the drawn out nature of these things. It's not like the kid showed up yesterday. I also wonder if a player can grad transfer mid-season as I understand he has 8 hours left to finish his degree which he is doing now.

The reception was a nice event. Groce starts speaking and half of the room wants to run through a wall for him. He did allude to something negative that he hoped they could treat as a learning experience and I got the sense it was the YSU scrimmage. Tavari, Baker and Prather were not present so I assume they had class. Ali Ali is still awaiting approval from the NCAA. The new women's coach really made a good impression on the crowd Enrique was a real pro in front of the crowd. Same for Reagan Bass.

Otherwise people will be tuning in for some minor league baseball.

They must not have agreed to play Wednesday night football so they can't get on ESPN.

Which begs the question- what in the hell is the Southern League Network?

Some numbers: The Zips are 11th in the MAC in average points scored per game; PCCC is 12th The Zips are 9th in points surrendered per game; PCCC is 12th The Zips are 10th in offensive yards per game; PCCC is 12th The Zips are 6th in defensive yards surrendered; PCCC is 8th The Zips are 11th in fan engagement and interest; PCCC is 12th These are the numbers from conference play, not overall. Looks like it is lining up to be a real slugfest.

No. 132 in the country vs. 133. Something has to give. Kent beat Central Connecticut State, 3-4 in the Northeast Conference. The Zips beat Morgan State. I don't know if anyone has noticed but Morgan State came in a 1-0 off of a big FBS win over Richmond. Since handing the Zips a win, they've not won a game. I think we're stuck with Undercuffler and Bullock from here on out.

I put a whopping $10 on it!

Ummmm, what's it worth to you? LOL.

Any of you guys headed to the Zips basketball reception Monday night? I registered but never received a ticket or confirmation. I assume they'll have a list at the door?

My Akron wins over 3.5 may be in peril!

I find it telling that no one has yet posted a game thread. I've done it the last two weeks when no one else did and decided to do an experiment to see how long it would take. Still waiting!

They were taking it one game at a time. Next man up.

They caught @Zipmeister sneaking chicken fingers and brownies to his non-Club Level peon buddies so they're being extra vigilant.

Every kid in attendance gets a free beer and a pack of smokes.

Agreed, the argument is shortsighted, yet, at the end of the day, in today's world simple appeals to people and there's no simpler argument than "you paid $X million dollars for 6 wins since 2019?"
