GoZips86

Go Zips!! Glad the team showed up and my assumption that the guys were over it all were incorrect. Glad for the win, feels good!

I appreciate the enthusiasm in this thread, and I'm not saying I don't want them to win and such. But I don't think I'm that far off by saying I bet many on the roster feel depleted and just want the season over with. Additionally, I don't count Jennings as riding the pine @Captain Kangaroo. He had no reason to go in this year, but if it's a lost season now, and he's going to try to compete for the job next season, why not give him some live experience as an Akron Zip, which is not something he's had yet? Again, I'm not trying to be a downer. I want them to win, but I also am mentioning the other side of the coin.

I don't see Akron winning. I mean, its a toss up with these two teams, but with the Zips traveling right after the holiday and have absolutely nothing to play for, I just see them likely wanting to get this game over with and focus on what SHOULD hopefully be a bright season next fall. I'd prefer if they had Jennings play. See what he can do, give him game action, and preserve the health of Irons going into offseason. If Zips win, cool. If they lose, oh well at this point. I'll watch because I love the Zips, but I don't expect a win.

Yeah, I highly doubt this game is played tomorrow.

I see, I see. Well, regardless, glad to have you aboard here! Once the game is played, please circle in here in our Game 11-Buffalo thread for your thoughts! 🙂

Also, unless I'm missing something, did Akron bail themselves or was it a group decision by the MAC? Both schools maybe? Confusing as to why it's been posted as if Akron cried about being too scared (per some Bulls fans...)

100% agree!! Boggles my mind. Bunch of illogical children seem to be Bulls fans at this moment.

I went to their forum to read. They keep saying how the roads are clear and how Akron is being difficult. Never mind Buffalos mayor is warning anyone to be out in Buffalo once the snow pick up. But yeah, Akron's fault LOL.

Pretty amazing an answer hasn't been decided or come out yet

I'm bummed. Would be so fun to watch those games in that kind of snow. I know, safety, but still! lol

I hope this game gets played, I love a good snow game. But, I do understand the safety concerns.

Good question. I've love to see more people there. Last year they ran a thing where one student at each home game, if they were in attendance, would get a $5,000 scholarship or something. And I don't even think that helped much. I forget the details on that drawing, but that was essentially it. I of course have nothing to do with these decisions, but even sometimes I sit here thinking of ideas. I'd love to see the stadium rocking. Yes, I know winning will help, but still though....

Let's see what Jennings can do at QB. Save Irons from injury heading into offseason, and see what the freshman has. Also, snow game?? Yes please!! Nothing better.

Good win to pull out. Lots of areas to improve on, but I have confidence in this team for sure. Would like to see the arena more packed. But, it's an early season Tuesday night game, so not uncommon across the world of NCAA basketball. GO ZIPS!!!

Excited to watch tonight! First game I'll be able to catch this season, lets goooo!!!

I haven't been able to watch a Zips bball game yet, and I know he's played only a small amount of minutes, but any thoughts on Tavari Johnson, yet? I was excited when he committed. This is probably a very early question, but oh well lol

Any word on Irons and his injury? Hell, regardless, I guess at this point let's see what Jennings can do at QB and give him some reps. Keep Irons healthy as we head into offseason.

Ugh I had a feeling it was going to be ugly tonight for attendance. I hope the home side is better. I can't make it tonight, so I'm not doing my part. Oops!

Well, here we are, another home game schedule coming to a close. It goes SO fast!! I assume since the team isn't very good (again, sadly), and since it's on a Tuesday night, that the attendance will be pretty bad. But anyways, let's discuss!! GO ZIPS!

I'll be there soaking in the last Saturday home Zips game of the season. Other than that, I'm expecting nothing. Zips are a team not ready to win, and I see Miami taking advantage of the inevitable mistakes the Zips will make.

I agree @LoyalZIP, I prefer the later in the afternoon kickoffs. I used to not really be thrilled about 3:30, but then once I got used to it I prefer it. I will say though, tailgating before a 12pm game has a certain feeling to it. Not sure what it is, but with the crisp fall air its a delight. Anyways, I am not really "caring" about this game in a sense of getting myself worked up like I tend to do. I really want the Zips to win, and I hope they play well. However, I am going to go and try to focus on the nice football weather, and the fact that the Zips are playing right in front of me. This season is flying by, and although the win column hasn't been what any of us have wanted, I am going to focus on the good. With that, I don't have anything to report on predictions and such. I hope for a win, but am going to enjoy the live football atmosphere regardless. However, I will freak out if I see ANOTHER wide open perfect pass be dropped again. That's unacceptable and I cannot be leisure about that LOL.

The same mistakes are costing this team each game. Well, a poor defense is too, but the self-inflicted wounds don't help. I just need to remember its year # 1 of a JoeMo rebuild. It's not fun, but will hopefully be worth it. And, I need to stop pulling my hair out during games 😛 I just long for the Zips to be competitive and a front runner in the MAC again.

*sigh*..... That's all I got.

Appreciate it!!!

How soon will ESPN3 have the replay? I can't catch the game live. Will it be available right after game? A day after? Thanks! EDIT: Does ESPN3 even have replays of games? Lol
