  1. CFN pulls for Zips

    I like this guy right now.........

    "Call me a fan of Texas and Akron this weekend. I hate repeat games. HATE them. College football is the sport it is because the regular season means everything. While I won't fire out the "every game is a playoff" cliché, the fact that the games are so meaningful week in and week out means it's the only sport in which the regular season actually matters. Texas beat Colorado 42-17 on October 15th. Akron beat Northern Illinois 48-42 in overtime on September 24th. Done. Over. Texas should be the Big 12 champions, and Akron should be the MAC champions. Fine, so NIU has a better MAC record than Akron, but my point is that teams shouldn't get a second chance. Otherwise, the first showdown is meaningless and the regular season is devalued. Which brings me to how this should change ..."

  10. Most Meaningfull Game in 20 Years

    I don't think there are any storms or tornados forecasted...........

    We are playing a hated rival.............

    There are Championship implications(which everyone has said was needed for good attendance)

    TV Coverage(granted ESPNU)

    It's late now......the game is early I HOPE THE WHOLE F'ING CITY OF AKRON knows what is going on and GOES TO THE GAME!!! If there is a crowd supporting the team, IT IS A GUARANTEED WIN! If not, the players are doing it for themselves as usual.

    I will find a bar covering the game with MY throwback jersey on and work the house.

    8K is my prediction and more grilling from the ESPN announcers.

    White thinks the team has taken the right steps to make sure it doesn't happen again - especially since the game could be the last of his career.

    The Zips are no longer in the running for the Mid-American Conference Championship after Miami beat Ohio last night. White said the game is a big one regardless.

    "This is an important game against a rival, there's always a lot riding on it, it's going to be on TV - this game has everything for the end of my career," he said. "If we lose, it will be a big disappointment and if we win, it will mean everything."

    I hope JD explains this game is more important than a rivalry.

  16. Quick OU Game Notes

    Furthermore, regarding attendance: Did any of you myopic attendance whiners see the radar screen yesterday afternoon? Did you see the weather forecasts? Thunderstorms. Hail. Heavy winds to 30MPH. Did you see the freaking downpour that happened all morning and into the afternoon in NE Ohio? Despite all that, and the fact that people could find the game on television or the local sports bar, and that is was held on a work/school night, 7k showed up. Yeah, it is a real shocker there weren't more people in attendance.

    7k attendance would have not changed if it were 70 and clear. History shows us that.

    Here is a provident idea for you just to show I am not myopic...........When televising a Zip football game, move the cameras to visiting side so it at least looks like there are people there. If that is not an option - move the fans, band, and team to the other side of the field so the cameras see the 7k. There are no differences in the sidelines.

    I got to see some of the game tonight thanks to the MU/BGSU delay. What I saw.... Getsy looks great, Biggs is an animal, D looks tough and as expected the Akron community is somewhere else. Just got done fielding calls from my buds chastising me about the crowd. What can you say?

    Why would anyone consider building a new stadium? I wont get started again but I just dont get it. Embarrassing

  24. Thanksgiving Day game

    in Akron Zips Football

    I know this a rather trifling comment but............Since we are going to be on National TV on Thanksgiving, I wish we were wearing our new/current uniforms. No disrespect to the teams of the past but since we are going to be on display nationally, shouldnt we look up to date. I am skeptical about the timing and turnout for this game, but definately dont agree with the timing of the throwback uniforms. It's not like the nation is going to go run out buy throwback Akron jerseys. BTW, I still have mine and will be wearing it.
