Cribbs, Frye make friendly wagerZac Jackson, Staff Writer09.29.2006When the Browns' plane lands in Northern California Saturday afternoon, the first thing Joshua Cribbs plans to do is check his text messages.The second thing -- Cribbs hopes, anyway -- will be to look up Charlie Frye and gloat. Cribbs will be checking for scores of the University of Akron-Can't State game (2 p.m. ET, Fox Sports Ohio). Four times from 2001-04, Frye quarterbacked Akron against Cribbs' quarterbacked Can't teams.Frye won three of the four.Here is the link to the full storyCome on Zips hook ya brotha up!!!

How do you become a true mid-major powerhouse?
Ryno aka Menace replied to Ryno aka Menace's topic in Akron Zips Football
If this is true then achieving an Ohio State like status will never be achieved.....it is like a vicious cycle that some feel will never be broken..OSU always gets the best recruits then the rest is divided amongst the lowly MAC. -
Buckzip, you just revealed the game winning play in this years bowl game!!!

How do you become a true mid-major powerhouse?
Ryno aka Menace posted a topic in Akron Zips Football
To me the MAC is a funny conference, teams in the past have show great promise, won big games and then slid back down to either mediocracy or the cellar. For example BGSU, Toledo, and Miami of Ohio, Traditionally pretty good football teams. Ten years ago Eastern Michigan and NIU were very good as well.Click here for story detailsNow it appears to be Akron's time for greatness (As long as things continue as they are, which we all hope it does). With that being said, How do we maintain or exceed our current greatness? How do we acheive some level of consistency like a Boise St, Virginia Tech, or Kansas State? How did Gonzaga do it in Basketball? Can it be done? When you have factors like Ohio State, The MAC Conference, and the Big Ten. Why hasn't Cinci done it yet?I think the answer lies in gettting into a bigger conference. And the only way to get into a bigger conference is to win consistenly. Now if we use that line of logic....why hasn't it worked for BGSU or Toledo or Miami? Did they miss their opportunity to jump ship into a bigger conference? Do Marshall and Central Florida also share this line of thinking, and decided to take lumps now for a chance for a bigger future? (personally I feel it was a lateral move at best going to Conference USA but oh well). We have touched on this subject in the past but never really got into it.I am just curious about some of your opinions out there..... -
Running it in the redzone won us the game against NC State. It was a run by Getsy that got them into the redzone and it was a run by Kennedy that won the game. With a seasoned O-line we should be able to run from 3 yards out especially with a back like Kennedy.

Mark this down.....NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! Akron 42Can't 3

Yeah I agree he is a cool dude, he could recruit talent but couldn't coach...kinda like cooper!
-
Whether we win or not we should be mention!!! We are a Division ! football team, if this is how we are going to be treated why not go back down to 1AA or divsion3 they aren't mentioned either! I swear this is crap!!Bobby said it best if OSU started going 4 and 8 we would have more fans coming to watch a 10-2 Akron team!!

I hope I can hold my piss at 80!!! Let alone run across a field!!

I hate to burst your bubble, but the 2005 Akron team lost to Miami and Army. They also beat a BG team with an inexperienced QB. The whole thing sounds very familiar.I hate to say it, but the MAC Championship Game could very well be Can't State vs. Western Michigan which will draw about 10,000 fans total. That would be very disappointing. I feel exactly like i did for the Central Michigan game, concerned!!! We should win this week as we should have won against Central, but our kicking game needs to step it up big time. Does anyone out there realize that the kicker missed 2 extra points and 2 feild goals? Any 2 and we win the game!

Herbstreit's Pick to win the MAC East
Ryno aka Menace replied to sgm405's topic in Akron Zips Football
I tell you guys what Kirk's pick is get less and less funny as the weeks go by. Can't has now beat Miami and BGSU,...but the buck stops here! -
told ya
-
He is very impressive, he's a little lite in the azz. But 3 years of strength and conditioning he will be another receiver drafted from the zips. He will probably be like a Terry Glenn.
-
I am not to concerned about this game. I feel that even with poor special teams play we will beat them. Some of you obviously don't take into consideration to how many points we put up when the offense is clicking. I am only concerned for our field goal and PAT teams, they need to improve greatly. The kick return and punt return (thanks to Harvey) is the only special teams phase of the game that is in order.

with the weather forcast is anyone changing their mind on attendance? I think the weather will scare people away. I am changing mine to 15K
-
I say atleast 30K, no matter what size it is it should be expandable but I think 30 is the minimum. We will have continued success, with the improvements on campus, enrollment is up, athletics competiton level is up, it is only natural for attendance to follow as well. I think 50 is high for this market area. Hell I don't think Indiana and Illnoise have that many in attendance and they are in the big ten, we won't pull those kind of numbers in the MAC, Big East or Conference USA. And if the time ever came that we were bringing 40K + to the game we will be renovating this one to something bigger. And finally bleachers are for high schools bowls are for college!!!

Wow Central Michigan a pillow fight?!! What does that say about us?! And Central could easily be 2 - 1 right now.

Who's Tailgating for the North Texas game???
Ryno aka Menace replied to bobbyake's topic in Akron Zips Football
Where is everyone setting up their tailgating? I would like to hook up with some people if possible, I am bringing a cooler, mini grill, and cornhole. Hopefully it doesn't rain cause I don't have an eazy up. I managed to talk one of my friends into coming and to bring his son. So if anyone wants to let me know. -
I am not going to write him off just yet not everyone plays well day in day out if he did he would be at USC, OSU, Michigan, etc. You gotta work with what ya got, and coach him up. Remember guys this receiving group as a whole is very young, we don't know if they are running the right routes, Getsy could see man and the receivers see a tight zone and that could change the route. As far as not looking off receivers, I think he tends to get to comfortable when a certain receiver gets hot. I am still waiting for Arthur's break out game...in fact I just want him to have a decent game.And we all know the o line in inconsistent, I think with all those issues we shouldn't be quick to jump on his back.

Hmmmm...there is only one possible answer! Miami must really suck!
