Ruel Thompson, a left handed kid from Ginn Academy. He was the QB on the Glenville state championship team last year. He's a real athlete. He accounted for 4 TD's in the first half of the championship against Alter, running for 2 and throwing for 2. He sat at Walsh for 3 years before going to Glenville/Ginn Academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catdaddyp Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Kent is an absolute mess. I’ve listened to many of Burns’ pressers and find it fascinating how he continues to change course of action. Now it’s play the young players and focus on 80/20 HS to portal recruiting. That won’t work in any turnaround situation due to the portal and NIL. The better players will jet and it’ll be a cycle of incoming freshmen to fill the void. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds economical. They should stay on the path their on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 With Bowling Green beating Ball State it put the Zips into a tie for eighth. Progress 😊 it also means the winner of Bowling Green-Miami will make the title game. Ohio will also make it with a win over Ball State. If they lose and Buffalo beats Kent (a virtual certainty), there will be a three-way tie between the loser of Bowling Green-Miami, Ohio and Buffalo. Since they did not all play each other, it will come down to records against common opponents and I am too lazy to figure that out right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have reshuffle the mac games and cancel/push back a OOC game. It happened a bunch last year when the PAC collapsed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio is playing much better football since their last meeting. Gotta hand it to the Ohio staff, they had a huge amount of turnover and still managed to make it to the MACC.

It also helps when you can get 5 wins by playing the bottom 5 teams in the conference (based on the current standings). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In contrast the Zips got only two of the bottom five (of course we couldn't play ourselves). Combined current conference record of the other teams (6 of the top 7) we played is 30-16.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 30 Author Report Share Posted November 30 PCCC's board is a blast to read right now. 0-12 parade talk Fans screwing up math in real time (typical for them) Worried about future schedules as their future schedules are wildly empty They only have games scheduled in 2025 (3), 2026 (2), and 2028 (1) For comparison, Akron has games scheduled in 2025 (4), 2026 (4), 2027 (3), 2028 (2), 2029 (1), 2030 (1), 2032 (1), 2033 (1) Reality setting in that Akron is actually getting better at football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
