Yeah. Know why? Because you're in a bowl. Something Akron has only ever done once, and that was ten years ago. And it sends a message that the team is a bowl team, not a perpetual 1-11 team, like most around the country simply assume we are. If you told most college football fans around the country that Akron is one win away from a bowl game, you'll get lots of funny looks, because the perception of the program hasn't changed yet. A bowl game, even one where you're waxed, is the single best way to shift that perception. Plus, you get an extra month of practice. That's absolutely invaluable.

Absolutely. That wasn't the point. The point is that some people think we are further along than we really are. We have improved so slightly that we now barely beat the worst pieces of garbage in football instead of losing to them. We have been blessed with the most cupcake MAC schedules in history for the last 2 or 3 years. We need some good wins to really start selling the program. Recruiting is still stagnant. Beating these rum dums doesnt fool anyone. We are so tormented that beating a high school team makes us feel good.

Way to go Zippers! UA was clearly the better team that also had rough moments in the second half. There were plenty of FUN moments in the game on both sides of the ball. Isn't it nice to watch the Zips and not want to crawl into a hole during and after the game? Go Zips!

Warms my heart to read ZN members complaining about a 9 point victory on the road. Now the tough part of our schedule, the home games. Should we wear our road uniforms at home?

Jatavis is insane!

very, very bad play on the ball by Cheek.

According to the game preview on GoZips.com, it's a free live stream.

Are they going away from the read and just letting TW13 run on designed plays?

I am excited to say that with my schedule conflicts which is hard to see weeknight games and even Saturday games, I will FINALLY be in attendance for tomorrow's MAC Championship game. EDIT: Should be a good crowd. Went to buy my ticket online, and could only find GA tickets.

Getting in the holiday spirit a little early...I'm thankful for finally letting TW13 attack the defense vertically down field.

I heard he needs to work on his blocking.

Need to get more pressure on their QB. Also need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

gozips.com has a link to the Can't state website for a video stream. I'm pretty sure that it will be free as well.

Gameday post from Hustle Belt wow

So excellent to see Darlington and DeAndre playing together last night in the USMNT 6-1 win. Also appreciated hearing The University of Akron mentioned a number of times relative to having 2 players for USA. Can't wait to see the next one. U S A !!!

Nice shout out for the Zips from the announcers at the World Cup qualifiers with Yedlin and Nagbe in the game at the same time.

We were in the same position for the last 2 years and choked. Until we actually win the next few games we are what our past says we are and that is a bottom dweller.

On the Keener Mediocrity Scale™, where do these teams fall? On the CK Pretty Good Index™, I would say they are pretty damn good cupcakes.

Totally agree about Victor. What a travesty. Of note: in 2010, Scott Caldwell was not on either All MAC team. Moron MAC. Cicerone player of the year. Over Richie Laryea, Adam Najem, Sam Gainford? Yeah, right. Also, Coach Embick not MAC Coach of the Year? Who else in the MAC had the balls to put together such a tough schedule and then navigate through it so well? These Zips have come a long way from what we saw in 2014. Others hope and dream. AKRON DOES! Go Zips!

Abu Danladi was good. I thought Seyi Adekoya was better.
