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

These folks have had our number, in fact I can not remember the last time we beat these guys.

Looks like the players have decided to play with a bit of intensity; Saturdays game with UCF
(and I was there) I saw some hitting that I have not seen in recent years (actually in many
years). More UCF players were limping off the field than Kent players and David Alston was
the big key in the game; he was lowering the boom on any UCF player trying to lay a
"stick" on him. There was one instance of a UCF linebacker hitting Alston "headon" with
major contact, Alston lowered his good shoulder an hit him with equal (or more) force
:rofl: , needeles to say that the big huge UCF linebacker was dazed on the
sideline for a bit of time Hope Alston is ready to go Saturday for the Cardinals, we need him.


If the Flashes have gotten past the hurdle, the Ball State game should be an indication.


Go Flashes!!

I'll be there sat. I am looking forward to a good crowd, as well as seeing the new stands and party tents.

It should be a good atmosphere. I would expect the Miller Lite Deck to be filled to capacity for the majority of the game.
Just a side note... If you plan to tailgate, you must be creative with your alcohol. With the new open container law in now in Ohio, you can no longer bring your own beverages. You must obtain a wrist band and purchase your beer in the parking lot from the university. :crying:
We found out the hard way this weekend. A bunch of football alums and myself had about $70 woth of alcohol confiscated from the KSU Police. :mad: The kicker is... I had a nice bottle of wine for my aunt and sister. It was on the table next to the car (unopened) and they took that too. I am sure we missed one heck of a party at the KSU Police Dept. that night.

I'm looking forward to the game and the new intensity by the Flashes. Thanks for the warning, Punt.

just do what I did when I was at Kent, mix Vodka with Sunny Delight and Viola! Cheap, horrible tasting screwdrivers.

Let's hope for good weather and another good game plan! I don't know much about Ball State, but it should be a good game. If the weather is good, the whole Flash family will be tagging along. GO FLASHES! BEAT THE CARDS!

I just got back from Kent, and got a chance to walk around the stadium. It looks really nice. I like the party tents, they actually look cool. I stood there and imagined how the stadiums would sound if if was packed, now I can't wait for Saturday.

BTW: the scoreboard still showed the Kent / UCF final. It was pretty cool.

I realize it's a bit early, but any early alert on the weather for NE Ohio on Saturday?

The "forecast" calls for "Flashes" of lightning. The storm could be very "offensive". Definitely foul weather for birds!


Showers and 58 :(

Just checked out the Ball State site at BSUfans.com. Not much discussion there about the Kent game. I didn't care to register and post because there didn't seem to be a lot of interest in this game.

From my standpoint, I think that it will be a tight game. I checked out the tale of the tape and the teams are evenely matched based on size. Both teams were taken to the woodshed by Big East teams earlier this year.

I'm just not sure what KSU team will show up. The team that played Akron and UCF or the team I saw against YSU. I hoping that Pees has another D scheme up his sleeve and the offense wakes up a bit. If I read the stats right, BSU appears to be balanced between the run and pass.

I think that the Flashes win if they don't get overconfident (really it could happen, look at last year) and execute like last week. The X factor will also be the crowd. If the weather is decent and they can draw 15K of fired up students and alumni, watch out.

Let's get loud and proud this week! We may have a team that finally deserves it!

GO FLASHES!

Damn, Kent actually moved homecoming to the first weekend of October due to the string of bad weather Saturdays in the traditional date, the third weekend. Doesn't sound like the weather gods smile on us. But rain or shine, I'll be there.

Flash, you read my mind. I actually considered exactly what you wrote earlier today:

Hope a big crowd on a bad weather day doesn't scare 'em.

Go Flashes!!

OK, I'm getting weird about this weather thing on Saturday, but the Weather Channel is a bit more optimistic

30 % chance of rain. That's nothing. GO FLASHES!
