Organizations? No, just give them away to anyone who wants one.

I hope you are right.

Not this season.

These are called promotions. If the promotions don't work, come up with another promotion. If I was a student who really needed a tuition waiver, I might not be able to attend a game because I'm at my job because I need money to pay for tuition. The odds of winning the waiver are so low it isn't worth losing my job. Or, I can't go to the game because I have to study because I don't have much free time because my job that pays my tuition doesn't give me much fee time for fun, if you call what happened last night fun. The promotion right now needs to be tens of thousands of tickets being given away around NE Ohio just to get 5-10 thousand people willing to watch that crap.

Nihilism is not the answer because it doesn't prove solutions, only destruction. If Akron moved forward without a plan as to what to do about basketball and soccer, those programs would be finished. Football isn't holding those programs back. They are really good already with a bad football program and will remain so.

They aren't old enough to remember Black Saturday, which was a loss in 1987 to Delaware State, 52-27. We gave up three pick six's and a blocked punt in the end zone for a TD.

I understand, but there are various types of costs. There is the cost of student fees. There are also time considerations. I wasn't there and didn't actually see a play, so I rely on others. Did the university do enough to make a students time spent at the entire event worth it?

I always say the athletic department should benefit the athletes students alumni fans and general community around Akron. Regardless of outcome, did the athletic department do all it could last night to benefit these five groups?

We should have hired Jim Grobe to supervise the construction.

Actually, the student fees largely support athletics, so they a paying. Think of the students non participation like this. You are forced to buy a gallon of milk because you need a cup of it to make something and milk at your store is only sold in gallon sizes. You make the dish requiring a cup of milk and put the reminder in the refrigerator. After a while, the remainder of the gallon of milk spoils in the back of your refrigerator. You have two choices: 1. Drink the milk and get sick. 2. Pour the milk down the drain and write off the loss. The students are pouring the milk down the drain.

They should give away thousands of tickets. Seems to be the right price for the product.

There won't be many MAC teams that score zero points this week. In 2025, it's almost impossible to get shut out. It's a level of malpractice ranking right up there with a doctor amputating the wrong leg. Wyoming isn't even a very good team. Joe is finished. They can fire him tomorrow or they can wait until the end of the season. I really don't care when. If they fire him now, it makes the type of fan who always wants to fire the coach happy, but they will probably want to fire two replacements by the end of the season. That level of Nihilism is insatiable. I don't think it matters either way, but I don't care at this point. The program isn't dead, but it's close.

BG has a really nice crowd tonight.

This is the reason why Bill Belichick benched Drew Bledsoe for Tom Brady. A shell shocked QB is a good reason to bench one. Findley has been under siege his entire time at Akron like Bledsoe was. It just happens.

ESPN+ God, I hate streaming.

I think Joe Akron doesn't know what to think because he doesn't really follow the team closely enough. If Joe Akron is treated to an exciting game with maybe a last second win for the Zips, he might come to another game. I don't think most MAC fans care about this game, but they should. How the league plays against like opponents is important.

I know. I'm looking forward to tomorrow while at the same time having great evening in Buckhead.

I win.

The wife of a guy I work with graduated from UW in the mid 80s and was a cheerleader. She still looks good even though she's lived in the greater Phoenix area since then and has a ton of freckles on her cleavage like aging Arizona women get. In any event, she goes back every year for homecoming and still loves it.

I can't believe I have to continue to bore myself with this but here we are. The wealth of a society has to do with income gained from production and that income turning into purchasing of goods and services. There is no GDP if people aren't earning and spending money. The more money someone makes, the more they can buy. The more money someone makes, the less time they have to work in order to buy the things they need. Prosperous societies make and spend more than others. Prosperous societies also have workforce efficiencies that allow those who have bought all they want to relax, or it gives more time for those who want to make more to do that. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/data-reveal-that-the-average-working-american-is-better-off-today-than-in-the-1950s-and-wage-stagnation-is-a-myth/ Today is the greatest day in American history. Tomorrow will be better today.

The first thought that popped in my mind was, I wonder if she has injury insurance that covers the loss of business revenue.

The lady who kicks bowls onto her head while riding a unicycle is always popular. An act for all seasons. Bring her in for a game.

I see they are doing a kind of fan fest event with food trucks, etc. I hope they get a big paying turnout so I don't have to come on here and say they should have given away 15,000 free tickets.

If the students are high quality, I'm all for it. Steady, sustained growth. I knew a guy who owned a business and always said, "You can just as easily die of indigestion as you can of starvation.".

While I would normally agree 💯, but we are trying to help someone who will be spending less than 24 hours in NE Ohio. The ride back to DC could be extended a couple of hours with all of the bathroom stops after a trip to Swenson's.
