Case and point.  Come on, Dre... You know how immature all this sounds.  It's a sports forum not a private parts measuring context. 

Oh how dare I clap back at folks who question my character.

He obviously doesn't.

 

To conclude this conversation on the level to which it has sunk-  I am rubber, you are glue...

There once was a time when folks could give an open opinion with no pushback. 

Unfortunately if you speak against the system aka whatever the media feeds you  = you are deemed the uneducated fool. 

Hmm lets see how we got here. 

Oh how dare I speak in support of other Mid Major Schools that have great recent consistent winning programs like Boise State and Ohio U. Oh how dare I give them props for being able to compete on a big stage against Power 5s. 

Oh how dare I look at these schools as being the standard for where I want my Akron Zips to someday achieve. 

Oh how dare I support other MAC Schools vs Power 5s on a national stage. 

How dare I support our Conference. 

How care I call out our program who is the only scoreless FCS school in the country who brought in a so called Offensive Guru coach who has ONLY made our program worse with us now on probation and continue to financially bleed us to the brink of no return. 

How dare I think outside the box regarding who should replace Moorhead after him and the last homer coach experiments have failed regarding hiring them on the strength of what school clipboards they have held and what sidelines they have been on. 

HOW DARE I HAVE AN OPINION! 

And folks wonder why Zipsnation.org is 70% vacant and yet still rivals Zips home football attendance. 

The problem is not only football itself but also the Fanbase mentality which contributes to lack there of. 

Some of you folks are old stale and outdated refusing to evolve.

Because they probably can't 

I take Hoban over them right now

Who are we fooling?

I am very loyal but like politics I will always call out my political party when warranted. 

Fact is Moorhead is literally destroying our football program to the possible point of no return financially. 

FYI going into week 3 we are the Only Scoreless Team in FCS

 

Are you President of the Hoban booster club?

I’m old enough to remember Zip Cat claim Akron had a $30mm football budget…

 

We get what we pay for.

If you add in the $4.5-$5 million we're paying for Infocision then we're spending about just as much as OU on football. The difference is on how the money is getting spent. OU using it for staffing, training tables, and whatever else. We blew it on a shiny stadium that we couldn't afford, which sits empty.

 

Edit: Kind of gets back to the point I make 1-2 times a year when major JAR renovations are discussed. Facility improvements are prohibitively expensive and you get more return on your dollars (from a performance perspective) on investing in coaches, recruiting, and whatever else instead.
