My sister and brother-in-law are going. If our daughter feels well enough, my family is going too. that makes 2 - 6 more Zips fans there. You won't be alone!

Formidable! Great news for him.

Great idea! I collect shot glasses, and was at the bookstore over labor day while in OH for the Patriot Bowl. I was disappointed to see that they still only have the clear glass with the university logo available. While very nice, it wouldn't show up well in my shotglass case. Wish I weren't so far away, I would buy one for sure. Good luck with your enterprise. How about a Fear The Roo?

We are coming to the game from PA with teenagers, and don't know Cleveland at all. This seems like an answer to where to have dinner besides overpriced stadium food. Any idea of whether it will be worth the $25 price? Will there be food available for purchase at the tailgate party if we don't choose the VIP route?Thanks in advance! Go ZIPS!

What would the date of the bowl game be? Thanks! Go ZIPS

Congratulations Zips!!!!!!!!!

From the Cleveland Browns website Injury may open door for Frye By Zac Jackson, Staff Writer November 30, 2005 Charlie Frye got the snaps on Wednesday, and there's a chance he'll get them on Sunday. Trent Dilfer's knee injury may give Frye his first chance as an NFL starting quarterback Sunday when the Browns host the Jaguars. Frye took all the snaps with the first-team offense Wednesday and will continue to do so until Dilfer is able to practice. "(Frye) has been getting time with the starters all year - he just hasn't been getting much time," Browns coach Romeo Crennel said. "He (got) all of the time with the starters today. That will help his timing, confidence and the whole nine yards." Frye made his NFL debut by playing three series against Miami two weeks ago. He played one play in last week's loss in Minnesota and was intercepted after he and Braylon Edwards had what all parties have termed a "miscommunication." Frye, who's 6-of-12 passing for 58 yards and two interceptions, would welcome the chance to give himself a grade other than "incomplete." "I think I've done some thing well but also made a couple mistakes," Frye said. "It's not a lot of time to judge." "I think we need to give him a couple of consistent series to see how he handles those," Crennel said. "Maybe a full quarter. I think we'll begin to find out what he can do." He might get more than just one full quarter Sunday. Dilfer took several shots to the right knee last week and said he's unsure when he might be able to return to practice. Crennel said an MRI showed tendonitis in Dilfer's knee. He's officially listed as questionable. "We'll see later in the week what his availability is," Crennel said. "If he can't move on Friday then it's going to be tough to think he can go out there Sunday and be able to move around and do the things he needs to do." Crennel said earlier in the week Dilfer would start if he's healthy. And Dilfer, a 12-year veteran, doesn't need a full week of practice to be ready to play Sunday. Dilfer said he would "let the coaches and the doctors decide" when he'll be able to return to practice, though he's anxious to get healthy and return to action. "I have a commitment to my team, first and foremost," Dilfer said. "I'll do everything in my power to play. I'm not going to let pain or injuries get in the way of me fulfilling that commitment to them. "Now, if it gets to the point where I can't produce at a level that helps them, you have to put your ego on the backburner and let somebody else do it." If Frye has to start, Dilfer said he's confident the rookie will be up to the challenge. "We're not overly complex (offensively) to where he has to do a lot at the line of scrimmage," Dilfer said. "I think we can win with Charlie if we have to. It may come down to that."

Thanks, i'd appreciate it if you locate it. A sticky is a great idea. Could come in handy year round. I knew that you guys would take care of me!

My family will be attending the game that day. since we'te not from Akron, or even Ohio, we're not that familiar with the area. Would anyone have any recommendation where we could make reservations for a Thanksgiving Day meal? Thanks in advance.

Did he play at the beginning of last nights giants Saints game? Thought I spotted his jersey at the end of the first play.

Dave, I may not have replied but immediately read this story when you posted it. A big thanks to you and all of the other well informed forum members who share info that I would never have. Thanks to another posting I was able to watch the coverage of the NFL Combine - I woulds never have known to look for that either. You all keep me well informed....well, better informed anyway

What has to happen next for the Zips to get a bowl berth? Thanks in advance!
