ewbrooman1 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 When the team gets a penalty because the band is playing when the other team is running a play it is probably time to call it a season. 4 1 Quote
dre22era Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 Did Akron really punt on 4th and 10 from the Ohio 39? They are down 35 and don’t have a win. Why show up to the game?— Bet On Anything (@theonlydarb) November 27, 2019 2 Quote

Might as well get a penalty for the band playing. What other possible reason could you be at that game? Certainly not to watch the crap on the field. Quote

dre22era Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 8 MAC teams are Bowl Eligible I wonder how many of the 8 are paying their coach $500k this season Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 I've been one that's preached patience through the transition. That period of patience officially ended with the final whistle tonight. From here it damn well better be onward and upward with no delay. 1 Quote
Zipmeister Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 Rumor has it that the football stadium is going to be renamed Ept Stadium. That way the location of all home games on future schedules will be shown as Inept. 1 1 Quote

The Akron Presidential Landscape for the last 5 years, and the hyperactive Board of Trustees has a wicked reputation around higher education, and it negatively impacts searches for all sorts of positions on campus, including athletics Here are the BOT members... if you run into these folks around town or on campus, let them know your feelings towards their actions. Trustees < All Political Appointees aka Hacks Joseph M. Gingo, Chair Olivia P.

Dr Z Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 Not many positives last night. I will mention that freshmen Adetutu Daranijo led the team with 10 tackles, 8 solo. If you appreciate defensive line play, once again, Davon'te Jest had another great game. It's a shame his efforts get lost in the final score. Go Zips! 2 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Posted November 27, 2019 Just reminiscing over how I'd been looking forward to this year's out-of-conference schedule for a couple of years. I thought it was set up perfectly for a mid-major's success. UAB Troy UMass Winnable payday game at Illinois. *sigh* Quote
LZIp Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) We have YSU, UMass, and NMSU next season, along with top Clemson of course. No excuse to start off worse than 2-2, with a win over YSU. More likely should be 3-1, but if we can't be .500 coming out of OOC...yikes. Edited November 27, 2019 by LZIp Quote

Lee Adams Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 WOW! Never thought after all these years,nay decades of watching Akron football that I would ever see another one of these. Not mad just really disappointed,deflated and on and on. I was hoping that Arth might be able to bring in some additional kids, add to what was already there and have the team show improvement from September to November. The scary thing is that there appeared to be no improvement over the season in O-line play, running game or QB play on that side of the ball. The defense was still unable to stop the run OR the pass consistently. Little pass rush,leaky secondary and not much ability to stop the run. Again,little if any improvement from start to finish. There were a few kids who played well at times thats true. But,since we saw little improvement during the season,I am now very concerned about how this program can 'bounce back' next season. What is going to be a 'strength' on either side of the ball. Very concerned. 4 Quote
ewbrooman1 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 2 days later and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the stat that Zips QBs were 4 for 27 for 33 yds. ? Quote

If you consider we were out gained 603 yards to 74 yards overall, the passing numbers aren’t so bad? Holy Moley... 1 Quote
