Official Alamo Bowl Site Yahoo: Akron's Coach Moorhead to Call Game Before Joe was hired as the new Zips coach, I would have had very little interest in this game (statistically insignificantly different from zero). Now, I have little interest in it, but my interest is statistically significantly greater than zero. However, I clicked on your second link which took me to another link which allowed me to watch a guy explode a Tesla (I mean obliterate it ). Really cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 FWIW, I read that Oregon is supposed to be down like 30 scholarship players for this game. I'd concentrate on what the offense is doing/trying to do rather than the end result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be the worst thing for Akron if this game gets canceled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in a basketball thread some members of Zip nation are predicting a high probability that the Big Dance will be conducted this season. If we get as many withdrawals due to COVID in basketball as has already occurred in this season's football bowl schedule, the Zips may finally secure that long-desired at-large bid.

kreed5120 Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 The MAC is horrendous this year and Akron laid a stinker down in Florida. Unless 100+ teams would pull out there is no way Akron would even be in the conversation for an at-large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjim Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 I was looking forward to getting a future view of the JoeMo offense that will be run at Akron. It is now halftime of the Alamo bowl game, and I am going to bed. I am hoping for much better results when he sets up home in Northeast Ohio. As I listened to the game, I only heard Coach's name mentioned once, and that was surprising. I would have expected more comments including his move to Akron, but I was not listening intently and may have missed some comments. Merry Zipmas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN made mention of JoeMo a (Offensive wizard)moving on to Akron.ESPN talked about him hiring a coaching staff and recruiting.They also said JoeMo had an extremely serious health scare earlier this season.Joe Mo said that he’s looking forward to Akron.

GP1 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Typical results for a team in transition against a team that isn't in an exhibition game. It's typical bowl season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to put any importance into a teams performance in a bowl game. Nothing at stake. Disinterested seniors. Opt outs. Developmental period for underclassmen. The list goes on. John Cooper was probably the last coach to get fired for bowl performance and think about how long ago that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan was a problem. He didn't get fired after Michigan. They could have fired him after Michigan. Losing the Outback Bowl badly after losing to Michigan was the problem. Would have survived another year regardless of the loss to Michigan. Michigan is just a state shaped like a mitten at the bottom. Michigan does have some good snowmobiling thought even though it has nothing to do with football. The MAC plays in a great bowl game in Michigan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I've heard that Coach M sticking around Oregon to finish the season is generating positive opinions of him in high school coaching circles. Coaches want to believe a new coach is committed to a program when they advise a recruit to consider a school. His commitment to Oregon makes high school coaches believe he will be committed to Akron. Anything can happen, but this is a good start. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Let's face it, he could make a big improvement in Akron's recruiting from 2500 miles away, working part time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
