This was a GREAT WIN and I hope it will give us the momentum we need moving into the MAC season. I was so proud of the players and coaches for what I consider a PIVOTAL victory in the AKRON football program.... 7 WINS and BoWL BOUND!!!!! GO ZIPS!!!

1.) Ohio State loses 1-0 at Dayton 2.) #6 Washington loses 2-1 at Portland

I was at the USC vs. Missouri game last night and it got me thinking about this topic. (BTW, John Anderson from Sports Center and his college buddies were tailgating in the spot next to mine as he is a Missouri grad. Great guy.) Where are all of the great back up QBs fans are always calling for? Half of the starters I see stink. Surely, Missouri has someone on their team better than Mauk and SC has someone on their team better than Thompson. Those guys were terrible last night in general. Mauk though found the ability to lead his team on a couple of scoring drives late in the game by hitting a couple of big play. (The game was the perfect example of Cowher's theory about confidence and momentum.) Isn't that what it is all about? So keep this in mind. With Pohl, Akron is now 6-3 in their last nine games with wins against against a bowl team (Toledo) and Pitt (BCS level). The next three games are winnable for the Zips and they could be 9-3 over a 12 game stretch, which is the length of a season. So, before you go reaching for your stat sheets and making assumptions about the mental state of people, the only stat that really matters is wins and the team has started to win around Pohl. Pohl is a good game manager and as long as the defense continues to play good and they can keep up with the running game the Zips should win the next three and be 9-3 over their last 12.

Hopefully the bigger win today is what Akron does in recruiting......should be a lot more welcome to go in to those homes with a Pitt W on the burner.

Good question. Here are some phone numbers that might get you the answer. I can't find anything on the web other than the new 49'ers stadium encourages fans to bring their iPads because they have an interactive app. I think I'm going to try bringing in a camera with a 4 inch lens. It says 6" lens or more is not permitted, but I'm still nervous that they make me carry it back to the car, which would be a hike for me. I actually printed the security sheet out and put it in my wallet to show the worker. Edit: I called guest services. Tablets permitted, no big cases on the tablets. You can bring a dslr as long as the lens doesn't EXTEND past 6 inches. Glad I called, because mine does. Phooey.
