Thank you for this post. Illinois and UAB aren't like bad teams. It's funny how those on here who praise Bowden as the best thing that ever happened to Akron football were also Dambrot dead-enders. I can understand carrying a torch for Dambrot but Bowden? Some just want to hate.

good. then I guess we won't be hearing from you during basketball season.

Also, UAB, Troy, and Illinois aren't Morgan State, Towson, Tennessee Tech, etc. Bowden padded his record with a few of those. What was Bowdens first year record? Cherry Bowl? Big win at NW because of some interceptions then almost blew it because he couldn't run out the clock properly. Who beat Michigan? App State did. Did we beat App State at home? No. How did the Iowa State series turn out?

I am willing to give Arth a chance like I did Groce. Groce is now in his 3rd year and has 99% his own players and has no excuse. Frankly, where our ADs failed over the years is that they weren't mercenary enough in their firings. Bowden should have been gone a year earlier and the same with Dambrot. But the university doesn't have the luxury of buying out contracts like Notre Dame does.

We all like to vent and make clever comparisons but some of you are simply haters and are a real drag.

Because that's your negative personality.

Looks can only get you so far and in this case it's Division 3. Arth better be saving his $ he will be coaching Oberlin in a few years

That was a fire Arth moment. Why? Why? 4th and 1...throw it to Lee 5 yards behind line of scrimmage. What could go wrong? That UAB coach is a lot like that Cherry Bowl coach...hes going to run up the score on Akron

The stats for the half were equal for both teams. Field position was difference. Bad kickoff leads to anotherTD. Best part of game is the highlights from the 1976 Division 2 game

To be fair..the punter's last two were much better. But yeah...0-12...it looks like. I assume Arth didn't recruit Fitchen or Wheeland. What soul-sucking game

Punter. Transfer Portal. Punter. Transfer Portal.

Let me correct that...NOW the wheels are all off. That false start penalty on UAB ... Seems like it helped them.

Nice start...but now what? Sense the wheels are coming off. UAB shaking off their jet lag.

yes, that is really cool.

With the basketball team, until I see them win an away game I will predict they will lose on the road. After last week, until I see the Zips win a game, I will predict double digit losses. And after last week, I don't have any idea who can run the ball. So I'm going with "other."

So we get all the directional Michigan schools twice. Toledo and Ball State St home. I'm exchange we get two brutal weeks im February with 4 out of 5 on the road. Sink or swim on the road, Groce!

Oh, that's good. Because Akron is notorious for playing bad in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, and post season games of the season unless the opponent is Kent State.? So are you saying there's a chance?

I love this theory, and I'm going to run with it. Will be a big surprise for UAB when the real Zips show up to play. IDK...I know so little about football, but once the writing is on the wall with a game like that...might as well get what you can out of it. Zips got lucky with some big turnovers in the NW game last year.

That first kickoff was deadly. Giving better teams good field position is deadly. Maybe be watching the transfer portal for a kicker.

Like everyone here I just want wins and not explanations about why the Zips lose by double digits. That being said, I agree that I didn't see the sloppiness and the stupidity i've seen in the past. Also, from the parts I watched, I saw the refs make two good calls that benefited the Zips. And because the announcers were Illini stooges, I learned about how great some of the Illini players were coming out of HS or from transfers. Looking at other scores, I didn't see any upsets by FBS schools. And F. U Penn State for running up the score to 79 on your opponent.

Arth was talking about how great Williams is on ZipsLive. <<shrug>>

Ohh

I think the correct pronunciation is with a silent "S.". Noy not Noise.

We would just need the basketball team to lose to a D3 school, and we would have the Zips trifecta.
