K92 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm still thinking, but I see we aren't the biggest MAC 'dogs. Can't is getting 37 at Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroo Craig Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 We've played these guys tough the last two times and both games were fairly low scores. I'm going to stick with that trend. 27-10 OSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 We've played these guys tough the last two times and both games were fairly low scores. I'm going to stick with that trend. 27-10 OSU. Craig, I'm hanging my hopes on the results of the last two games as well. I hope that we can again go down there and leave everything on the field again, and stay in the game well into the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm shocked that everybody (10 to 1 right now) thinks the Zips are going to cover. I wonder what the thought process is behind the voting? Do most think that the suspensions will hurt Columbus? Is Luke that bad of a coach that he can't get all these 5 star recruits to put points up? Too much turmoil in cow town? Do most/some think that our team has improved that much? Is LR8 the difference? Curious. Half think the score will be over 48. Correct me if I'm wrong, we need at least two tds to go over and cover, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Ohio State 65 Akron 7 My heart wants to think its going to be a close game, but my head says Captain is right on the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Just doing just the math, the line would expect a 41-7 game (48 total points, 34 point loss, clever how the line is 33.5). I can't see the Zips hanging that close with an angry OSU team. OSU 56 - Zips 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I can't see the Zips hanging that close with an angry OSU team.I still say there is a 9 percent chance this "anger" or whatever ever sports page writer is calling it, may work against them. We need Columbus to make an early mistake due to this "anger" and see how the new coach & QB react to it. Put a gun to my head and I agree with Columbus covering, but I am just hoping that they somehow implode and blame it all on the tattoos, Pryor, the NCAA, ESPN, losing their hypocrite coach, and whatever else excuse they can muster up.

Zipgrad1990 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 OSU - 45 Zips - 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreal1scout Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 The only excuse they will be able to muster up is that we ZIPS as super-underdogs, just beat them fair and square. I have ALWAYS preferred being the underdog in any competition. And I heard that that is the sentiment that CoachI and the team embrace. It fires the very souls of The Zips. The Suckeyes are going down. Mark my words. We're not in it to "cover". Suckeyes are gonna get a beatdown. OSU - 21 ZIPS - 26 GO ZIPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen (wags076) is the artist. Recently graduated designer looking for work. Has done plenty of web stuff and recently redesigned shoulder pads as a senior project. Made shoulder pads better with his concept by designing with advanced polymers that reduced the size and weight while increasing effectiveness. Plus he likes cats.

akzipper Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 A "radio host" on WKNR this morning smashed the Zips pretty hard. Said they had no chance in hell and would probably lost by over 70 pts. I think his name was Aaron? Not to mention he went on repeatedly bashing our program as the "worst" in the country. Apparently he thought that every D1, D2, and D3 team is better as well. Thankfully Tony Rizzo was quick to stand up for Akron and at least someone in the Cleveland media has our back. I rarely don't listen to WKNR but I found it interesting that the Aaron guy that was bashing Akron into the ground, is actually facing a suspension from the station due to an incident with a HS football coach. Classy Guy! Now I know most of the media would say that Akron has no chance. But I really don't care! We won't win, I know that but I just hope we show up to play!

You are talking about Aaron Goldhammer. The guy is also a HUGE OSU basher. He is a puke and I would love to punch him in the face almost every time he opens his mouth. He isnt from Ohio and all he does is bash on every Ohio team regardless of sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
