zipsfan33 Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Report Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Marty had a blast. He was completely blown away by the press, the fans, the team, and the coaching staff. He found a few minutes between being interviewed by dozens of outfits once his headset was taken away and his post game press conference to come up and sit with Charlie and I. It was a great experience and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. He was the best man at my wedding, so I know him pretty well. However, if anyone can tell us why the Arby's was written upside down on his hat, you will win a prize! 6 Quote

They do need to do this every year for the home opener, because it's just fun. And Akron needs fun. 22 minutes ago, zipsfan33 said: However, if anyone can tell us why the Arby's was written upside down on his hat, you will win a prize! My best guess is because it got people talking about the Arby's hat a little bit. Quote

Nothing happened to say "hey this should only be a one-off." Sure, it's not gonna get the press it got this time. But it's not gonna get none, it hurts no one, and it may have gotten Arby's in the door on the sponsor front. Edited yesterday at 02:10 AM by exit322 Quote
kreed5120 Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM I would expect copycat promotions next year, but yeah they should definitely still do it. Selling experiences is both fun for fans and gets people talking about the school. It seemed from the videos even the players had a good time with it. Maybe not specifically this, but they should brainstorm something to do for mens basketball at the very least. Perhaps mens soccer as well. Quote
1981 grad Posted yesterday at 04:05 AM Report Posted yesterday at 04:05 AM (edited) Just watched the NBC national news and they usually have a feel good story at the end of the broadcast and it was about our offensive coordinator for the day Marty. Amazing publicity for the program. Really well done.

It's a recent trend that has started in the headwear space. Even as a relatively young person, I don't really understand it. 😅 Quote
