Take it easy Zips fans. I don't agree with some player moves by this coaching staff, but we are still stronger than last year and the future, even for this this year, is brighter. 2014 is still ready to be a good year. Let's get Pohl back and get the best on that O-line. Our defense and special teams are good. Come on now - Go Zips!

Sure I am I need to vent, I take akron losses harder than most of you. I am tired of this, yes they came a long way from Ianello, but my god, no running today and a game you have to win if you ever want to turn the corner in a program as I am yelling at my kid to not bother me, so you can call it trolling, while you are happy with us being competitive

Tomzip trolling hard after the loss.

There you go! I cannot understand how people can act like Cleveland fans. People should be happy how far they came in the last couple of years.

We never bothered establishing the run. This was an absolutely embarrassing loss. Ends a 3-game win streak to an awful Ohio team. I am beyond angry. What an absolute joke.

Rats. Clairvoyance is a curse.

What an absolute joke. Don't worry guys, Bowden is not going anywhere FOR SURE after that awful performance. Out coached AGAIN by Frank Solich. Absolutely awful loss. We have two good RB and we ran the ball hardly ever. Put the entire game on the shoulders of a backup QB. Terrible, Terrible, Terrible coaching. What an absolute joke.

FINALLY A RUN ON FIRST DOWN

Who's going to be on the board for the game? Got it streaming on the TV via ChromeCast while I clean around the house.

14Bryce Cregan had a CB's nightmare of a first half, resulting in giving 2 goals. 25Clint Caso subbed in before half to stabilize the defense. Zips rallied for a thrilling come from behind victory.

And we're both correct. Example: 29,000 students. 1,000 students can live on campus...increases to 2,000 students can live on campus. Still commuter school, while also having number of students living on campus double. Perspective has nothing to do with it. It's simply the facts: The University of Akron can house nearly 3,000 students in it's on campus housing. While I and Zippy5 were on campus they added 1000+ to that number (effectively doubling it). They added Spanton and South halls (roughly +1000 student beds, where as it had been around 2,000 when I started). That leaves 26,000 students who aren't living on campus. At best another 4,000 probably live in the Akron area in various apartments, houses, and other off-campus housing that is relatively close to campus. These folks would still be considered commuters. This number (despite the new student housing complexes that have gone up) I don't believe has increased all that much. 22 exchange has largely sat partially empty since it was built (years ago) adding more off campus student housing doesn't mean more students are going to live there. (This is a discussion for another time, about how ridiculously overpriced most of these are). Bottom line: you can believe both of us. Perception has nothing to do with it.

Done. Made sure a few others saw as well.

Too bad the rest of the MAC players in Antonio Brown, Ben, and Dri Archer didnt

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.
