I hope the Hit Man sees this.

I remain stunned that wins over pathetic programs like Howard, EMU and Miami are somehow supposed to turn around a quarter century of abject neglect. That somehow there's a massive amount of locals who should be thrilled the Zips played a decent 1/2 season last year, and a decent 1/2 season this year? Is there some "1/2 Season Bowl" I'm not aware of? The revolving door of coaches, AD's and predominately horrific football is somehow all forgotten once the Zips start strolling through a few of the MAC's tomato cans? Tradition Almost Never Graduates. The Zips lousy football tradition has accumulated the equivalent of 20+ PhD's since the mid-80's. But now is the opportunity to step out from under the cloud. Keep winning. Go to a bowl. Keep your staff. Market a winner in preparation for a banner 2015 season. Lather, rinse and repeat.

If you look at the MAC numbers, OU's running game is one of the league's worst. And the Zips are the league's best against the run. OU's pass protection is among the league's worst, and we all know that the Zips D can bring the pressure. I look for Woodson's start to force the Zips offense to do what they should have been doing all year long, and that's be "run-first." Enough with 5 wide-outs...our QB isn't that good, and out WR's aren't that good. Woodson can't be throwing 30+ times. I think 25-29 throws is a good number. If we pound the ball, I think we win going away. If we throw the ball 40 times, I think we lose. Prediction: Run-oriented Zips win 26-15

Pitt is currently beating va tech in the 3rd. If the score holds up does that mean we can beat osu? Haha

If you are planning to go to Charleston and like to golf, there will be a golf outing for Zips fans on Saturday. George Van Horne is putting this event together so you need to contact him if you would like to participate. He can be reaches at 330-972-8255.

FYI, I called Akron ticket office and they said they don't have a block of tickets if you are travelling outside of the chartered trip and suggested I call the CoC ticket office. I did and all tickets are general admission and then you can sit anywhere. Tickets are $22 per session (2 games per session) for adults and $11 for kids. You can get tickets now for Thursday and Friday as they will play the early session in both (2:30 Friday if they win Thursday and noon if they lose) and then get tickets on Sunday after the Friday game when we know when they will play. Surprisingly, no extra fees were charged with the purchase unless you want tickets mailed for $3.00 ( I opted for will call).
