bigjim Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I saw one weather projection early this morning that Hurricane IAN may be entering southern Ohio early Saturday morning. Uncertain of the rate of the storm moving at that time. If it is true that it gets to southern Ohio, we are unsure if it will get to Akron by game time. Let's hope that the game stays dry and a major storm does not occur during game time. Go Zips!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not an indication of the quality of the teams, they're set to get an equal number of gamblers to bet on each team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Another fun night at Zips live. The Brickhouse is a pretty cool venue! Nice comments from Joe and Jared Embick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talked a lot about his staff and how they’ve managed this year, despite a lot of them being on the younger side. Mentioned that it’s hard to build an experienced staff with the budget he’s got. Which kind of goes back to that Athletic article. Said BG will be a tough matchup, they’ve got a nice little pass rush. And McDonald is an experienced QB that can put points on the board in the offense. Also, on the topic of coaches being out for games (Loefler missed BG’s game last week, hope he’s doing well): he talked about his experience with diverticulitis last year. When asked who is next in line if anything like that happened at Akron, he said coach Fess (QB coach Billy Fessler). I found that very interesting, he’s very young but has an impressive resume for his age. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Michigan how well having a JoeMo protégé on staff worked out for them. Spoiler alert: they beat OSUcks, and JoeMo's game plan while he was at Oregon (and beat OSUcks) was credited, which Josh Gattis (former assistant under JoeMo at Penn State) copied. Interestingly enough, Gattis went to Miami to be their OC under Cristobal. So Mario filled the JoeMo void with a piece of the JoeMo coaching tree.

I'm hoping that in addition to Joe sticking around for a few years, a lot of those young guys on staff get a few years in here before they inevitably move on to bigger and brighter things. I also like to think that down the line, some of these guys who will become great coaches will remember their time at Akron in a positive light and see it as a great place to take their first job as a coordinator or even the head coach. I loved this hiring strategy by Joe from the start, these guys are the real deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how much I believe in JoeMo and his staff. To fill a G5 program with P5 coaches, no matter their experience, goes a long way. We see more and more connections and statements that prove JoeMo has quite the positive reputation in the college football coaching world, and he's our guy.

LoyalZIP Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Not sure where this would fit best, so I'll put it here. So damn cool, these clips give me chills! This era of Zips football just felt different. They were tougher, and grittier. Joe can bring that magic to Infocision! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Bought my family 4 pack of seats for this one for $40. No fees, just $40. Make this an option for EVERY game! Sell more tickets, especially to people like me that have young kids. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
