Sadly, I'm not.  Obviously the thought that the athletic department actually changed was wishful thinking.

 

The athletic department has done a fantastic job the whole way through. When was the last time Akron was the topic of College Gameday?

In that Insta video clip there is lots of Arby's food staged in front of Marty and Joe. Are/were we already associated with them for marketing?

 

 

They became the sponsor for this OC challenge.

It's gonna be a close call on the rain. It looks like it might move out just right around kickoff. As long as there's no lightning delays, I'm okay with a little rain!

 

That's what I see on weather.com radar. Looks like the UCF at Pitt game might get the worst of it.

What have they done with it on game week to actually reach the local fans?

[LZIp]

Durham and Poff out again. Sivon also another notable.

Yeah it's dried out here for the most part.

At least he traveled to the game this week 😊

So Akron to fumble the freaking ball during our big promotion

Only 70 players are allowed to travel. It wouldn't seem to make sense to spend one of those spots on a player who isn't eligible to play.

You can't blame Marty for that one at least. 

 

Edit: they were moving the ball at least. 3 and out or pick would have been the worst outcome.

TOUCHDOWN ZIPS!

[LZIp]

This soft coverage defense is annoying.

Yeah that is apparently why.  Just not a strong defense early on.

 

Also they have to fix the TV timeout stuff.  This is just getting worse

[Reslife4Life]

The summa health ticket giveaway winner was announced in the stadium. In the giveaway you had to say what makes the perfect moment at the game. What was announced was: “a 400 yard game from Ben Finley”

 

I won the promo last year and that is what I said a year ago

The tv timeouts are ridiculous.

Absolutely awful.

[Reslife4Life]

Tv timeout for a new quarter. 9 seconds of game time, TV timeout. Less than 2 minutes of game time. Tv timeout

No wonder why no one wants to come to these games

It doesn't help.

 

Gotta figure out a way to get around this, because these ads on ESPN+ aren't reaching people anyways.

Broughton looks like he can be very fun to watch

Most of the time the commercial break will just say “commercial break be right back”

Not like it's even airing on broadcast TV. I can't imagine ESPN+ ads generate any significant revenue.

[kreed5120]

Arbys should have just bought up all the advertising spots. 30 second ad on ESPN+ is pocket change to them.

Unless there's a chance your QB1 might become eligible soon. It probably indicates the staff are not hopeful..
