The unofficial online home for fans of the Kent State University Golden Flashes. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

Flashes are 14.5 underdogs to Maryland this week. This after being 22.5 underdogs to #5 Iowa.

No moral victory, bring home the W!!!

As I said on a different thread, Kent State is the only MAC school to have never beaten a Big Ten team in football (Rutgers wasn't in the Big Ten at the time). If they don't win this one, who knows when they'll next have a realistic shot?

Moneyline wager!

I believe that we have a few players from the Maryland-New Jersey area. They may be especially pumped.

I have a good feeling about this game. After playing in large stadiums against Iowa and A&M playing in front of 40k should be a breeze.

Only time Maryland gets a crowd is when they play Penn State, Virginia, WVU, and out of towners show up . Guessing crowd no more than 30-35,000.
We can win this.

Maryland should actually be in a conference that includes Penn State, Virginia, WVU. Maryland is one of those minority of schools with both D I basketball and FBS football where basketball will always be #1, like Kansas, Indiana, Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina.

Less fans increase our chances of winning. There is going to be perfect weather game 74 degrees and partly cloudy. Maybe the weather will keep people away.

24 hours until kickoff

GAME TIME!!

Might have to change our name to Kent State Golden Interceptions after getting another one!

Early 3-0 lead I think this is the first time they have been in the lead against fbs teams this year.

Marylands QB Taulia Tagovailoa throws don't miss. If he keeps this up all year he will win the Heisman and be a top 5 pick in the draft.

Robbed on the fake kick. That's not holding anywhere football is played.
