Akron is letting a random season ticket holder script their opening series against Robert Morris this year, a fair bit of media attention around it for the novelty. Fun way for the Zips to get some cash and publicity, though I’m hoping for the funny outcomes (opening drive leads to a defensive TD and the Zips lose by a single possession, or they score on the opening drive but get shut out the rest of the game).

Signing up for season tickets just to have Akron run the triple option on that series
this being a reward for a random season ticket holder and not something substantial around NIL is cute, but a red flag IMO
I just saw this. We already know Akron is an unserious program. Guess they’re doubling down.
Fake punt on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down. 4th down? Line up in punt formation.
1st down 85 yard field goal attempt
Have the QB sprint straight back and run through Akron’s end zone. 2-0, Robert Morris.
Depends on your definition of serious.
One series isn’t going to kill the Zips, it’ll be fun for their fans, and they might find a competent OC in the process.
It’s not about the outcome of that series. It just looks like they’re not taking the game nor their opponent seriously. I can’t imagine a P4 program would resort to this. I would hope Miami wouldn’t, either.
I dunno. I’d be curious to see if bluesman calls four runs up the gut in a row.
bluesman likes to utilize the TE, so expect at least one quick slant to the TE, along with calls for the FB off tackle.

The last time I tried to sign up for a MAC-related promotion, I put in a request for 2 of the 150 feee tickets that “Coach Senderoff and players” were offering to everyone for January’s men’s basketball game at Kent. I wanted 2 empty seats to be courtesy of Morgan Safford. I did not “win.” But at least Kent lost.
Here, I just hope RMU gets a defensive touchdown.
Maybe not so stupid and embarrassing? I know some really dislike leaning into the MACtion sideshow/minor league baseball type vibe but its honestly the only real brand and differentiator for the MAC. It certainly gives us something that the Sun Belt doesn’t have. And whatever you think of Barstool and Big Cat, he’s always been very friendly in promoting the MAC. He’s been promoting and talking about this Akron thing on X and their shows.

Let the rushers through on the first two downs and have the QB throw as hard as they can into the closest rusher’s groin.
I thought it was ridiculous but I heard the Akron coach explain it this morning on 923 radio in Cleveland and I understand it better. It seems to be working as intended
