Layed another “egg” today. Blowing another game.
3 out of 4 to lowly Toledo. What an embarrassment.

This program hasn’t been this low in 30 years+

Streak of 30 win streak in jeopardy. Currently at 13-19 after falling to Miami.

I think 55 game (depending on rain outs) season so would have to go something like 17-6 over last part of season, not something they haven't done before though

Duncan sucks.

That’s not happening. Not even close.

Took the first 2 from Zippy. 2nd one was 17-2 same score Baldwin Wallace beat Zippy by earlier this week

Just split the series with Zippy.......Yikes.

Yes we have split to Akron who is 13-31 and just on Tuesday got run ruled by a very good but a D3 program in Baldwin Wallace and they also lost to Malone (d2)

And we split with BG who stands at 13-28.

This program has taken a huge step back over last 2-3 years. But i dont see anything changing as just in February Duncan's contract was extended through the 2024 season.

Sad, we used to own them and they even imploded the program and started over again.

Baseball and softball will probably prevent us from a Jacoby and Reese Cup sweep. With some help from wrestling and women’s basketball. Typically at least 3 of those 4 sports were positives. Not this year.

lost 8-6 to OSU today. sitting at 17-23

Not what we are used to and expect.

Fire Duncan.

Correct me if I missed something but outside of
always reliable Golf program , only MAC title this year
Was MAC east for football. That’s our worst results Jacoby/Reese
in my memory. Womens soccer also lost MAC title game in what was
supposed to be a rebuilding year.
Athletic administration is a mess. Our great coaches are holding it
together with duct tape and twine.

Last losing season for Baseball program.
Last losing season for MAC portion of schedule

Anybody ????

Since 1989 they were only below .500 in the MAC and overall once each but they were different seasons. Back in 2005 they were 9-10 in the MAC but went 33-20 overall. And in 1998 they were 27-28 overall but 17-12 in the MAC. BTW, going back as far as 1982 they were only under .500 overall in that one season (1989], but under .500 in the MAC in
1983, 1984, 1988 and 1989.

To make matters worse, the College World Series reunion is this weekend. A sobering reminder of “the way we was.”

Hammer. Thanks for stats . Sobering details of how far we have dropped
I have watched a lot of Kent baseball. This season totally frustrating.
Last two innings have resulted in most losses

Although the scoring system is heavily classified about 10 years ago EMU won one of the trophies and actually published the scoring table for all the sports. I have asked the MAC for a more recent scoring table at least 5 times with no response (the issue is how do they score sports with less than 12 teams participating which is most of them, mens swimming for example has only 2 teams!!). However that old scoring table gives fairly accurate results. Currently the women are in first place and the men are 3rd or 4th. MAC titles and NCAA appearances mean very little in most sports. The regular season standings count if a complete round robin is played (with a couple of exceptions). It is a MAC secret though so if I tell you anything else I’ll have to shoot you so don’t ask!!!

Flashes lose 12-0 on day honoring 2012 CWS team. Ty Linder was back for the ceremony
