After talking, immediately transferred to the ticket department and re-upped my season tickets. They said I could pay in June, but I wanted to lock in the seats now at current prices so I paid now. Ticket prices may considerably increase based on what Joe does. Finally, it is great to be a Zip fan!!!! Go Zips! Where is my call?!?! What, does automated Joe Moorhead just hate me and not want my money? GEEZ!! 😂😋 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His direct number is 330-972-6982 (I hope he does not mind posting his name and number). He was a joy to talk to, knew what to do to get the order completed, and was very efficient in his job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEEZ!! 😂😋 Well, who do you think you are? Me? Seriously, I was surprised to get the call. My only financial interactions with Akron have been: 1) buying tickets to the Iowa State game, 2) paying in advance for an entire tailgate lot, and 3) winning the 50/50 raffle. Somehow this must make me score high in the algorithm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a thank you call today for re-upping on season tickets following my original call. The caller said it was Coach Joe, and the call was from the University of Akron per the phone number and a live call that I had a brief conversation with a person. It was a short call since he said he had many more phone calls to make. , Coach said to get ready for a great ride. Go Zips!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe seems to have a lot on his mind about what happened in Starkville, it would be awesome to have a few beers with him and hear all of those stories. Not a ton of UA stuff in this interview, it just got me more and more pumped that we hired a total badass head coach that is well respected everywhere in college football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Their web site also has a piece about why it was a mistake to fire him at MSU. They rightly point out that he had done pretty well at a historically tough place to win and there was no guarantee that whoever replaced him would do better. Joe went 14-12 in his two years there. The following two years? They went 11-12. Thank you MSU :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 As one could probably tell by my constant posting during the game, I wasn't able to attend due to a variety of reasons, but noticed Moorhead and other members of the staff were there. Did he speak to the crowd at all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned bringing the Wagon Wheel back to Akron, that the crowd was great, had great energy and that we'd need that at the football games this Fall. Then he started a "Let's Go Zips," chant.
