Forecast looks good for this one, unlike last time when Nebraska dodged an upset loss in Scott Frost's debut. Unfortunately for us, this one won't be cancelled.

Let’s hope Nebraska has built a proper amount of hotels this time and doesn’t try to screw us over again.

If I didn’t get out of work at 5 I’d think about it. Just started my new job so I still gotta earn my PTO😂

Is this an ad for Keith? 😂

I'm not sure there's been a more annoying QB in college football than Dylan Raiola. He wants to be Patrick Mahomes so bad it's cringeworthy.

Lets go zips! I will look around for a stream today

The game is free, see everyone there!! There's parking contiguous to Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, I think a small fee to park.

A blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile

Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. I hope a large Zips fans’ contingent attends, especially AK Rowdies. Unfortunately, though, in answer to your question/need, I don’t have any recommendations for am online site to watch the game.

Big game tonight! My prediction, Zips 2-1.

So you're saying we're going to score!

Anyone have a good site for this game? Streameast died and I don't have Big+

Keep in mind, all of this was done in the preseason. I’m also not sure how much we actually learned in a loss to a G5 team compared to what UAB did against an FCS. If we’re looking at Week 1 in a vacuum and treating Alabama State and Wyoming as equals, then give UAB the edge in all the offensive spots and Akron the edge in the defensive ones. Special teams would go Akron’s way too. Teams rarely look the same in Week 2, but unfortunately for us, we’ll probably still be staring at an ugly score against a team with superior resources and talent. Week 3 against UAB will be a better barometer for this team.

Meh. It’s one game with a lot of new players, some old players playing worse than what we’ve seen before, and no real idea of how good Wyoming will be. Have you seen UAB yet? The let Alabama State score 42 in a close game.

My prediction is Nebraska 48 Akron 3

Respectfully your position advantages don't seem realistic given what we have seen.You may call it a must win. But that seems meaningless until they actually win a so called must win. We have had plenty of those.

Nebraska will name its score. Gonna be at least half a hundred.

I thought Brophy played for Buchtel. Maybe he was from Kenmore.

I gave 33.5 and took the Huskers. Can’t see Akron team from last week scoring a point. Hope I’m wrong

Story time: Dominick Raiola the QB's dad is a friend. 30+ yrs ago I sat at many U of Hawai'i baseball games with him and his two sons, both of whom went on to play center in the NFL. Dominick played football at the U. in Miami and when he learned I was from Akron he talked all about his former teammate Jay Brophy from Kenmore High. They were very close in college and maintained contact for a while after, when Jay played for the Dolphins. Well, I discovered Brophy in a Facebook discussion a few years ago with another friend who may or may not be here on ZN.org. I started a side talk with Jay, telling him I knew his former U of M teammate, and asking if he had any stories about Dominick Raiola. His only remark back was that because of the number of times he was hit in the head in his playing days, he could not remember ANY of his teammates and has difficulty even remembering anything about his football career without being prompted by his friends and family. This reality about what happens as a result of our National Passtime makes me very reticent to adopt any emotional closeness to the sport.

That's well refined. I do that after about 30 seconds of exertion!

We should honestly rename the walk on try outs as "The search for the next Enrique Freeman"

You are almost 💯 correct. They could play on those Saturdays, but they would forego their anti-trust exemption. I guess the question then becomes, would that matter? The NFL is the #1 TV show in the USA. Drunks and degenerate gamblers can't get enough.

To make more money. Why wouldn't they do it if they could ? What would change?

What you really need to work on is your puke in the trash can game!
