If all you are doing is going to the game and leaving early the next day, it's fine. That part of WS isn't the best right now. Maybe in a year or so when the construction is done, but not now. If you are young and want to go out after the game, stay downtown.

Never be surprised when an ACC team loses.

If anyone is going to the Wake Forest game and wants some recommendations on where to go, where to eat ,what to do and places to stay, say something here and I'll write something up. BTW, the downtown Winston Salem hotels are pretty cheap right now. Don't stay at the Fairfield because it's too far of a walk to the fun places.

I could see this playing out like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. There will be a winner and a happy ending eventually. The losers will got through some level of torture like being forced to watch Faust's last season uninterrupted.

Mine came via email. It's too large to post. Here is the contact for more information mpottorf@uakron.edu Matt Pottorf.

I don't see that illusive 6th win on the schedule. They may even struggle to get to 5 wins.

I got a notice today about the Wake Forest, Zips tailgate. I have to tip my hat, the location is pretty good. It's close to the stadium, in a paved lot, there are usually bands playing around there before games and if the ACC Network is there, it will be close to their set up. Be prepared. It's going to be hotter than most Ohioans are used to.

Between going to class, studying, practice, lifting weights drinking beer and trying to get laid, I didn't have time to think about this nonsense.

They don't care. Their coach will try to use it as motivation and they won't care. There will be more articles about it and they won't care. Playera transfer at the drop of a hat because they don't care.

This would be my script. Play 1: Run something unexpected and difficult to defend because the defense never has to defend it. I formation, one TE to the right. Fullback dive to the right. In 2026 it's a trick play and would probably get 6-7 yards. Play 2 Take out fullback and put him on the bench for the rest of the season and replace with a receiver. Run an easy to complete 5 yard pass for a first down. Play 3: Same formation. Get physical up the middle again. Play 4: Same formation. Bobble the snap and fall on it for a 10 yard loss. You know it's going to happen. Just work it into practice and execute it properly. Play 5: I have a friend who is a complete Eeyore when our group of friends watches football together. When it's third and long he always says they should just punt. We call him The Master Of The Third Down Punt. In honor of my friend, I'd punt on third down.

I think I like this idea.

Must be a Steelers fan.

You're probably right. The Rule of Seven says an investment will double every seven years at 10% interest. I know from experience the school doesn't invest in investments that return 10% so they are doing well investing and getting more donations. I tip my hat.

I still like college basketball and believe it's better today than ever. I don't find myself looking forward to college football the way I used to. Further, I don't think college football is as good of a product as it used to be. Throw the NFL in there also. The game itself is boring. Everyone looks like they are just working out. Guys bump into ball carriers and don't wrap them up. Ball carriers go down too easily. In the name of concussions, they have removed physicality from the spot. It's just bad entertainment now.
