Did it feature Teon Dollard?

No, it was Coach Arth and our former backup to the backup QB, Matt K.

I've noticed "Bally Sports" covering some MLB teams this season, so had to research.  Apparently Bally -- the casino operation -- bought out Fox Regional Sports network(s)?  None of them appear on any cable system I can find where I live, while I have in the past found Zips football and basketball coaches shows on Fox regional stations during prime time in Hawai'i -- middle-of-the-morning on the continent.  FWIW...

 

Yeah I'm wondering how this will affect the weekly Zips Football and Basketball shows. The first move they made when they took over the Fox local networks was axing the Cleveland Monsters hockey games. Gone the next day.

Bally has been an absolute nightmare as a Cleveland Indians fan. Their service is only available on old-school cable - Spectrum, AT&T, DirecTV - and has been absent from modern-day streaming services like YouTubeTV. The belief is that next year they will launch their own streaming service, I believe complete with betting options, so they didn't want a TV deal to hinder this. Regardless, Bally ranks up there with Kent State, Ohio State, the Steelers, Ravens, and Detroit Tigers - they absolutely, positively, 1000000% suck.

Spectrum has a streaming service that is better than youtubetv as I switched from them when youtubetv raised there prices and have had no issues with streaming any of their multiple channels they offer on spectrum, i also switched my internet from AT&T at the same time and the MBPS is much better and everything works better, security system, tv, gaming, cell phones

I actually saw an Akron Zips Football commercial!  I couldn't believe my eyes! 

 

I think I saw the same commercial. It showed a bunch different men's and women's sports but not our elite men's soccer program.

No, this was all Football.  I've seen it three times now.

8 years ago today, the Zips lost a close one to Louisiana 35-30 at home.

Coming off of the Michigan game, everyone around the program was so fired up for this game. I believe a 6pm kick, I kind of miss those evening environments when the games were exciting. The Zips had a real good chance to win but ULL's QB Terrance Broadway was as clutch as any QB to play a game in Infocision. That was a good season that could have been a hell of a lot better had they pulled that one out. 

 

Edit: This also happened. Mad respect to that kicker, that may have sealed the deal.
