I think JD wants to really establish something with Akron football. Another 1 or 2 MAC championships and bowl games will go a long way to making his resume look good. I believe he will remain for a few more years at least.

Just saw it by Boomer!!!! It was greattttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent post GoZips!!!!

Great article!!

Keep in mind that when an average team plays a bad team, bad weather is the great equalizer. Zips need to stay focused and fight thru the bad weather!!

Quickzips, Did you see how C. MIch took lead late in regulation??? Blocked punt for a TD!!

Final C, Mich 31 Ball St 24 Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to overtime at Muncie C. Mich 24 Ball st 24

Update: 3:44 to go in the 3rd qtr at Muncie: Ball St 21 C. Mich 17

Score: At the half Ball ST 14 C. Mich 10 C. Mich scored a TD with 10 seconds left in the half.

Zippy989 Correction: Again refer to your "current standings" If CMU beats Ball St , B.G goes to 14-8, Akron goes to 14-9 If Toledo beats B.G, B.G goes to 15-8. If N. Ill beats WMU, B.G. goes to 15-9, Akron goes to 15-9 Therefore Akron wins.(as you said) If Ball St beats CMU, B.G. goes to 15-7, Akron goes to 14-9. If Toledo beats B.g, B.G goes to 16-7 If N.ill beats WMU , B.G goes to 16-8, Akron goes to 15-9 Therefore B.G wins. My point is, since we need Toledo to beat B.G. and N.Ill to beat WMU, the game between Ball St and CMU is significant since we cannot win a three-way tie without a CMU victory.

Zippy989, Refer to your post where you mention 'CURRENT STANDINGS' If Ball St beats CMU then Akron is 14-9 and B.G is 15-7. Then even if N.Ill defeats WMU Akron would end up at 15-9 and B.G at 15-8. 15-8 is a better winning percentage than 15-9.

Zippy989, Are you looking at overall winning percentages of west opponents or MAC winning percentages of west opponents.???

Zippy989, I will double check.

Zippy989, Nice work. But I do not believe CMU vs Ball ST is significant. A win for CMU is a win for us and a loss for us, but it is just a loss for B.G(if i am correct, b.g played bsu and beat them)???

Capt. K Check my post under tie-breaker thread. Even though Miami is eliminated, they could cause three-way tie, then we nead further help.

O.K. If OU defeats Miami and Toledo defeats B.G. and Akron defeats Can't,then we have a two way tie between Akron and B.G.,which Akron defeated earlier this year. Therefore Akron wins the East. BUT!!! If Miami defeats OU this Monday, then the only way that Akron can win the East is for the following to happen:(three way tie) A.) This Saturday, C. Mich must beat Ball St B.) This Tuesday Toledo must beat B.G. c.) This Wednesday N. Ill must beat W. Mich d.) This Thursday Akron must beat Can't. In other words : The two-way tie and the three-way tie The three way tie in this case, would result in Akron winning the East, since although Miami has been eliminated in every case ,by winning against OU, they can force a three-way tie , if the games a-d mentioned above turn out as I mentioned. The tie-breaking procedure would then revert back to the first test, which is head-to head, against B.G., who Akron defeated So this Saturday, root for C. Mich defeat Ball St, since the two-way tie scenario might not work out for us.

N. iILL UP BY 18 WITH AROUND 4 MINUTES TO GO!!! THAT'S ONE!!!!!

Z-pouch, Thanks for POSSIBLY calming down the rage of WPIAL!!!!

Stop being so emotional and look at the 3-way tie scenario.

I beleive my above 3-team tie scenario is correct, with 1 addition: C. Mich must beat Ball St You have to remember that right now , B.G. would win the three team tie scenario!

See my post under "pissed zips fans" for 3 way tie-breaker.

Akron can win 3-way tie-breaker if Miami wins vs Ohio: 1.) Norhtern Ill must beat Toledo 2.) Northern Ill must beat W. Mich 3.) Toledo must beat B.G. 4.) Akron must beat Can't St.

3-0 Zips at the half!!!!!
