Nice! They must be excited about getting to see Akron win the MAC championship in person.

Coach Bowden will have a bowl announcement press conference on Sunday at 4 pm.

Who cares??? They should be marketing it, no matter what the interest is.

I think the “writer” must have got a journalism degree from Portage County Community College. Can’t State STILL sucks...

Am I ?????? I'm starting to enjoy (be entertained)??????? @datRo23. ?⚡️????⚡️????⚡️ He could end up being a one man marketing machine.

It's today. I don't see any indication that it will be broadcast live, but that doesn't mean it is not. 3:00-3:30 pm Detroit Lions President, Rod Wood & MAC Commissioner, Dr. Jon Steinbrecher 3:30-4:00 pm Toledo (West Division Champion) Press Conference Toledo Head Coach Jason Candle; QB Logan Woodside; RB Terry Swanson 4:15-4:45 pm Akron (East Division Champion) Press Conference Akron Head Coach Terry Bowden; WR A.J. Coney; LB Ulysees Gilbert

Yup. Akron vs. Toledo football: Willoughby South grad Kyle Ritz and Zips have shot at redemption in MAC title game "When I committed, I came here not wanting to lose to Kent," said Ritz, who's grown into a 6-foot-5, 305-pound frame. "I also wanted to win a MAC title. To finish that, it would be huge. People want winners, and we want to change people's views of Akron football." ""We're playing with a chip," he said. "We were picked pretty low (the MAC East) in the preseason, but we didn't believe that, and we want to keep defying the odds. We believe we're a different team since the last time we played (Toledo)."

Not sure where to put this, but a nice read about Bowden/Amato's time here. Seems they were aware (and Zipsnation had an accurate pulse) that their job was on the line this season. http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/index.ssf/2017/11/terry_bowden_chuck_amato_akron_zips.html

GO ZIPS!!! Second Star goes through Louisville.

A little over an hour until game time. Starting to get pumped. Let's Go Zips!

Hearing TB talk, definitely gets you pumped up, thanks for sharing. Go Zips!

FKNBUFLOBO, Sorry, I just saw it this morning ,and yes drive , DO NOT TEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Hilltopper posted his tickets earlier in the thread, I'm sure they are in the Akron section (106). GET LOUD!!!!! We may have less fans there, but our fans can be LOUDER. The team thrives on it!!!

I'd just head to Detroit and buy the $20 tickets at the venue. Can't remember which section is the 'Akron section' but the box office people ought to be able to help with that. Huge stadium = plenty of tix available including in or near the Akron fans. Go Zips!

Drive. Don’t post or text! better to be here in person! Go Zips!!!

RJ has another State Title under his belt. I really think he's going to be the stud lineman we've needed.

Just wanted to take this off topic for at least one post. I forget what I was listening to a few months ago, but it was an interview with Coney. He said part of the reason he ended up here when he was looking to transfer is because his cousin was here and had good things to say about the program. The cousin was Mr. Coe. I suspect @Cykron is familiar with Mr. Coe. We liked him a lot!

The Akron Athletic Dept. seems to be acting as if there was some kind of overwhelming demand for tix from Akron fans. There will be tons of TU fans at the game.They apparently still don't understand that only the diehards will go to Detroit. The rest will sit on their asses and watch a few minutes on TV. I remember in 2005, there were more people at the Motor City Bowl than at the MAC Championship game. The front runners will stay home. The AD needs to get its head out of their behinds when it comes to 'markerting' this program.

Mobile is the highest payout of the mac 1st auto bids. It is the unofficial bowl for the champ since the motor city bowl. The reason (i presume) it stays unofficial is many times now our top team (or even teams) are able to move up in the bowls. Even to the Orange bowl. The G5 bowls can't promote a Mac champ vs Sunbelt champ ect when the champs are able to move up and make the conference more money. As far as Mobile that community really embraces that bowl and gives it a big time feel with all the festivities they put on. Its not a bad bowl to go to and its easy to access.

I thought a moccasin was a snake! I'm afraid to go down this road...

On a thread entitled Wisconsin Badgers, we have now devoted more real estate to the PA system than to our epic victory over said Mustelids. Shame on me. Shame on all of us. Overall, I am grateful for a stadium about which I can complain. For decades we had next to nothing. If necessary, someone please start a thread about the PA system at FES CCF. I will happily take my bitch there. Go Zips! edit: Playing music while students are chanting is much more grievous offense that playing music loudly.

If you ordered tickets through the Zips ticket office they are available to pick up between now and 10 am Friday at Infocision box office. If you wait until Saturday they will be available at Ford Field gate C starting a 9:30 am.

Have you been to the Bahamas?
