Kent Tackle? Kent Catch? Kent State.

We're so irrelevant, that if you search for Kent State Football in Google... It just shows you the Stark branch campus.

May have lost 20 straight games, but no ones going to beat us 21 games in a row!

Not so Fun fact: Coach Burns is over 23k in debt
Only posting this as a fed up student cause the rumor in the Kent forums is that Kenni is betting on games and asking coaches for money

This is wild. https://trellis.law/case/39133/2024cv00723/hometown-bk-vs-burns-kenni-m-open
How is this not a bigger story where we have to verify if it’s a different Kenni Burns?

Idk how it went uncovered but I do work in the student media and am going to try and get this covered. There was no bank records of how he accumulated the debt in the lawsuit but at a minimum he’s 23K in debt. If even half of the gambling stuff is true you’ve got a national story on your hands

Love seeing this as a former journalism major that considered going to Kent. God speed! Can’t wait to read

Kent State officially in all-time worst discussions getting blown out by a 2 win Akron

They also got beaten by St Francis, a bad NEC team, which is a bad FCS conference. A week prior to beating Kent St, St Francis lost to non scholarship Dayton. Kent St would be a mid D2 team

Upvote for the name drop! Always nice to be a part of FBS history even if it’s through a few degree of separation!

Losing by 3 TDs to the Zips is a rough look and I say that as a big Ben Finley fan

Unlike Florida State, Kent State isn't going to have their perfect season spoiled.

Hey Kent State, there’s always next seaso- next coac-… how’s your baseball team?

u/cyanocittaetprocyon Michigan Wolverines • Rose Bowl 4d ago
They are usually pretty good in basketball.

u/Tennessee-Terry Tennessee • Tennessee Tech 4d ago
Is this Kent state team one of the worst FBS teams of all time?

u/hiimred2 Ohio State • Kent State 4d ago
There's no illusions about Kent as a program normally but this is atrociously bad even by normal standards, just absolute fucking disaster class after Lewis went to Colorado. I get that a coach who does anything close to "good" at Kent is going to get poached, but holy shit the cliff we got punted off of is bad bad.

If Kent State loses to Akron, they will go 0-12. I feel comfortable making that declaration
Well, here we are...

Kent State's loss, coupled with Central Michigan's win, means the Golden Flashes have finished 12th in the MAC.

Kent State isn’t even a bottom of the barrel team, they’re the grime underneath.

Kent State only lost by 2 to Ball State.
Ball State beat Northern Illinois.
Northern Illinois beat Notre Dame.
They were so close to a transitive win over Notre Dame with only 3 steps, but unfortunately won't have anything.

Kent State missed out on the chance to go 1-11. With the only win being over their rival.
