But in the end, it's about winning and being competitive every time out no matter what you wear. But please nothing like Can't State The only kudos I give them is that they didn’t just go plain white jerseys. I like games where both squads have some color to their jerseys... just that the overall scheme was pretty hideous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to really care about what the fans want. If we're annoying enough about it maybe he'll make the switch. You are targeting the wrong person with those emails.

Script Akron is fine on a shirt or whatever, but no way should that be our primary logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to take credit for its origin, but I cannot and will not. There has been a full lot 9 of tailgaters belting this cheer out prior to entering the stadium. Also, see another post where this cheer happens at soccer games. I get it now. You are another of the $uckeye fans who likes to credit everything in the universe to that place in Columbus. Go ZI.........PS I had a blast at the Suckeyes basketball game this year when their band played Hang on Sloopy I was surprised no one was doing O H I O so I did Z I P S at the same time and it was great. I think the whole arena could hear me as it was so quiet and I got a number of looks from the Suckeye fans around me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Btw, this thread is evidence why the U made the correct decision in building Info & investing in football. Look at the excitement this thread has generated. Akron is smack dab in the middle of NEO, the football capital of the world. I like me some basketball too, I really do. And I daydream about one day making the Sweet Sixteen & having a new downtown arena. But like most other area people, football is king... by a mile... by two miles... by three miles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorhead fit both criteria and I'd assume since Getsy being a QB Coach right now he wasn't really a consideration. With only a few seasons as a coordinator at MSU. Just my guess.

Indeed, you have the right to post whatever you want. Silly me for thinking that Sunday might be a good day for focus on celebration of the new coach. I'm still caught up in happiness that you landed such a great head coach who seems to be such a great fit. Looking forward to joining you guys for tailgating and a packed crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Script Akron is fine on a shirt or whatever, but no way should that be our primary logo. IMHO... I don't really care much about the primary logo debate, but AU has a new coach and staff, new players coming, and a new season to prove itself. From a psychological view, it needs a new "brand" to signify the beginning of a new era. The players and the fans will appreciate another gesture that the program is changing and there is optimism for next year. Products and services rebrand themselves periodically the create new interest and enthusiasm. Isn't that want we want? Change the helmet design, maybe some simple uniform changes, a new motto...little things in the grand scheme that can subtly lift spirits, moral (players), and show that AU football is back and will be a different competitor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is easy to make mistakes when trying out new "brands." I'm moving toward thinking this is a time to emphasize the more traditional images. That is definitely the vibe I'm getting from fans on this board. Regardless, it feels good to be positive about Akron football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
