Well, Kent State it is finally homecoming week. This year Kent State has the privilege of playing our biggest rival the University of Akron. If you did not know there is a competition between Kent State and Akron like no other. We compete for the wagon wheel a very sacred tradition between our two schools. While some may feel the University of Akron is better here are a few reasons Kent is better.
1.) Our mascot is better!
2.) Our campus is prettier.
3.) Our Greek life is bigger.
4.) While they have black squirrels ours come and hang out with us. ( really I had one in my room once).
5.) Kent is a nationally ranked school.
6.) We have a fricken food truck!
7.) We have some famous alumni in case you were not aware.
8.) Our fashion school is also one of the best in the nation.
9.) WE HAVE A CAMEO IN TOY STORY THREE. That is the coolest thing.
10.) Our downtown is beyond gorgeous.
11.) We clearly have the better students.
At the end of the day, our 100-year old rivalry will still live on. One thing to keep in mind is that Kent State will always be better than Akron University. Go Flashes and I will see you all at the game Saturday!
