I don't believe they had given up on football at the time.

Respectfully, Akron is considered one of the worst jobs in America. That’s mostly due to lack of facilities and support from the administration. For a program that has more all-time losses than wins, this should not be hard to believe. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that if you love OSU and were able to go to college, you should have gone to that school. I have worked with many people over the years who went to different schools, but when their alma mater played the Suckeyes, they would dress up in OSU gear. I had a very good friend who I graduated from the University of Akron with, asked if he could join me for a game. He met me in Lot 9 wearing Buckeye apparel. He got many negative comments and near threats over his outfit at the tailgate. I bought him an Akron Jersey to cover up his shirt. I just think your number 1 college love has to be your alma mater. It is for me and I am proud to be a graduate of the University of Akron. Speaking of triggers, there are many people on this forum who speak negatively toward Buffalo and Kent State. They are called many different names on this forum, which I think is worse than my Suckeye comments. Just look at the game threads, of which some are confusing. I hold no ill will toward these schools. I do not know any Akron graduates who root for Kent or Buffalo, unless maybe their spouse went there. I know several people who went to Kent, and I respect them. Thanks for allowing me to explain myself. However, after writing this post, I decided that I will not lighten up regarding the Suckeyes. Go Zips!!! Proud to be an University of Akron alumnus. Even bigjim might like me after this one. Early in my marriage to Akron's finest, we were at one of her brother's homes. He has a dog named, you guessed it, Buckeye. Well, I taught him to answer to Buckwheat. The dog would be in the other room and I would call "Here, Buckwheat" and he would just come running and tail-wagging. The BIL hated it so I didn't do it often, but we all knew that I had a good one just waiting to be used. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting free beers once in Pittsburgh...was visiting NJ friends at Pitt and wearing my Akron garb. The bartender was friends with Weems and made us feel right at home haha. That being said I sorta remember Akron’s offense looking good running the misdirection and the delay. Heck, San Diego State is freaking anemic at passing and they’re a top 20 program.

"If your time to you is worth saving" is the line that stands out to me. I can't say I put much time into Zips football as many of you over the past 15 years. Some of you may not even have much time left on this Earth or may be approaching a time in your life where you can't make it to game as much or ever. At some point the time you spend has to be worth saving for those things that can give you some pleasure. I hope the University makes a good decision for those of you who have wasted too much time in your life watching bad football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJGood Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 So, just have some extra time and looking around at some current FBS assistants that have head coaching experience.

I think he is also too abrasive to come up here and get local buy in. To go with that, it is already almost impossible to get local media to say anything nice about the university without Mullen hurting someone's feelings. .... though I would find it amusing for someone to put GT in his place.
