AKRON — What are Toledo fans most grateful for this Thanksgiving?
If I had to hazard a guess, it’s that the 2024 football season is over.
No, not officially.
The Rockets still have a bowl game, possibly in Detroit the day after Christmas.
Don’t everyone storm the box office at once.
But, more or less, a year that delivered more early and less late ended — and the look ahead to 2025 began — with a 21-14 overtime loss to Akron at InfoCision Stadium on Tuesday.
In front of a frosted gathering of approximately 217 — give or take a few hundred fans — what had been a forgivable transition season for the Rockets gave way to a cornucopia of … what the hell.
