Watched the game last night. They are damn good. BUT, looking at the roster, we do match up well against them, height seems to go a bit in our favor. Their center is the same hbeight as Pat, but has a long wingspan and can JUMP. So in the end this will be a contest of the guards, we should be able to hold our own in the front court BUT WE HAVE TO REBOUND> This is a very very strong rebounding team.

What is wrong with Ivey? Edit: answered on page two of this thread.

So far we have scored over 100 twice and 88 once. Akron is suddenly a scoring machine. Who knew? BTW I saw Dan U was suited up. Are they thinking about burning his red shirt? He is a one man scoring machine.

NO Apparently some games are blacked out to some systems.

It is NOT on ESPN3 for Optimum subscribers. The Sports site has changed, it used to work the way you said, now it demands you sign up.

They try to get you to sign up. Probably a bad idea to do that on a pirate site.

All these sites appear to be fake. There is no actual link that works. AND, there appears to be no audio. Once a week the solicitors call me asking for alumni donations. And once I week I tell them NO. If you are going to book D1 games with NO video or audio coverage you can go suck an egg.

I get user not authorized. Anyone have a link to the "other" sites that may carry it?

One more win for a possible bowl game?

And I eat my words! :laugh_up:

BAD play call on 3rd down. Run up the middle set up the field goal. DUMB

TWICE the officials blew a fumble dead when we had a TD. Once we converted, once not. Horrible.

Damn. Was going to take off work and go.

Our defense is ranked 27th in the nation? We should be a whole lot better than this record. But it probably means there will be a few Zips in the NFL next year.

If they can help get us to the dance the future will take care of itself.

I don't see him spending this year on the bench. He is a scoring machine.

Our cup runneth over. For once we have some PLAYERS! IF we stay healthy and out of jail, this team has real potential. Ivey is the real deal. Dan U could be the next Jakubic. I know we were really playing a high school level team but I watched the last 10 minutes and it was awesome.

Is there any radio coverage?

Just remember that Hixon played defense his first two years and wound up with a super bowl ring as a wide receiver.

If the new recruits are half as good as people are saying...

Of course, that is with all the drops. If he actually starts catching the ball, that average will drop. BUT, the other stat will go up!

What a difference from a few years ago. People are up here complaining about winning.

Any news on whether we are in the ESPN package for the new season? Last year we got stiffed pretty good, just wondering if we did the updates and will get ESPN coverage this season.

I have a few thoughts on this. First of all, I watched it on ESPN 3, so I saw it from different angles than those at the Stadium: First of all, I am happy to report we can in fact compete in the MAC. Of course, we need to win, but at least I think the days of being totally blown out are over. I disagree with the FG call. The NY Giants made the same decision a few weeks ago and it also cost them the game. Go on 4th, worst case you leave them backed up against the goat line and have a chance to get good field position. The FG did not put us in the lead, so you still needed another score no matter what, with almost no time on the clock at least that is my opinion. The Zips last play of the game was as obvious pass interference as I have ever seen. On the replay it was clear he tackled him while the ball was in the air. The game announcers on CNN said: "There are just so many interference flags in a game, and they weren't going to throw one at this point". WHAT????

Can they paint some extra points on the scoreboard?
