This program has to move on from the 1 to 3 wins per year standard. KSU needs this program to finish 8 years out of every decade in the 5-7 win range and get to 3 or more bowl games every decade. This will move the program from 'horrible' to 'normal'.

Speaking of which - Kent State gets some mention on the ESPN website...

See https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...ayoff-more

Love the comments and compliments in the ESPN article.
Accurate and deserved. Glad someone besides us is paying attention to what this coaching staff and these players are doing.

Agree, good article. But sad that ESPN provides this type of information, but the Plain Dealer (cleveland.com) completely ignores KSU.

Let's go bowling!!!

Also, Advance Ohio, the marketing and data company that runs/owns Cleveland.com and the PD, is a for hire click-a-palooza. I am fairly certain OSU/IMG pays for the 3 fanboy OSU beat writers, in one form or another.

The most egregious of their sins is using the AP to cover CSU b-ball, if they choose to run anything about them.

They are an absolute disgrace and a disservice to the area and community.

They are a company (or should I say industry) about to go out of business. I remember when they covered Kent women’s basketball and took heat for covering a sport where 1000 people go and ignoring OSU basketball where 10,000 plus go. Much the same as the recent field hockey vs. football controversy at Kent. Name a media company that does not cater to its audience. Heck if they just published a paper or website for Kent State University students they would probably cover OSU football more!! Might the SEC conference get more airtime on ESPN because they are partners?

As far as Ohio St. football remember it funds the Kent Athletic Department. This year all you have to do is change their name to Wisconsin, Auburn or Arizona St.

I follow all sports at Kent State as much as anyone but let’s not pretend if Cleveland.com covered us it would be different. Heck Elton Alexander did it for years and no one ever spoke a good word about him.
