catdaddyp Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 Regardless of when, where, and what time these games are played, there is no reason to not go bowling this year. Morgan State should be an automatic win and good chance to win 4 straight from the NIU-Kent stretch. Win one more and that’s 6 for bowl eligibility. Quote

I think it is critical for the Zip footballers to do well in the classroom. I seem to recall teams with less than 6 wins may still be able to play in a bowl game if their academic performance is up to snuff. Quote
GoZips86 Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 5 home games again and all of these weekday games filling our schedule. Wow, I'm used to the MAC getting the shaft, but this is ridiculous. Good luck with attendance numbers to those in charge of this... "Hey recruits, want to play on week nights with no one in attendance? Come to the MAC to play!" Quote

The MAC office is brain dead to take the most heated rivalry in the MAC and reduce it to mid-week oblivion that no one will see. This is so stupid it defies logic. There has got to be something that can be done to change it. Neither school fanbase wants this. 2 Quote
GP1 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Posted March 2, 2023 Words can't express how much I hate this schedule. If anyone can help me see it differently I'll at least listen, but I don't see how this schedule benefits the players, students, alumni, fans and greater Akron community. Awful, just awful. 3 Quote

It benefits no one and it truly is awful. Imagine the MAC sitting there wanting to get more butts in seats due to low attendance for many schools in the conference and then putting so many games on week nights. It boggles my mind. A rivalry game on a Wednesday night....goodness. Quote

I guess I just need to rant about whoever made this decision, wherever and whoever they are. They should know enough that this is NOT a good thing for the conference. Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted May 22, 2023 Author Report Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) It's nice having a coach with a name worth a damn. Proof that Joe Moorhead's Camp carries more weight nationwide than let's say Akron Football Camp. Edited May 22, 2023 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
