Zips Win!

I'd settle for some insightful information regarding the Zips. Not the filler we receive.

Game is also shown locally on channel 5.

We'll take it, but that was brutal. Clearly, we play to the level of our competition. MU is atrocious and we kept them in the game. Sure it beats walking out of the stadium losing a 70 yard hail mary, but come on, we are better than that. 1. Where the hell is McCray, Mizell and why isn't Turner getting in a LB. Any why the hell doesn't anyone in the media let us know why these guys aren't playing. What the hell does Pud Dunn do all week. Dude has never given any meaningful insight into the team. And he has a radio show. Only in America- actually only in Akron. 2. Why does every drive start out with a nice pace and end like every drive under JD with the QB looking over to the sideline. FASTER, FASTER, FASTER. 3. Stop the fumbling. 4. Dillard needs to make that easy catch early on which would have changed field position and probably negated MU's first TD. 5. With a minute to go in the first half with the Zips having first and goal at the 6, we hand off to Hundley who is running in for a score- or at least to the one. A flag is thrown and the play gets dead. What the hell is with the no foul on the play yet we do not get the results of the play. Garbage. How can it be just a do-over? Two plays later we fumble. MAC refs still blow. Geez, we had two illegal formations and a sideline penalty in the second half which made 1st and goal at the 5 a heck of a lot harder. A TD puts the game away, yet we could only get 3 that possession and MU was still in the game. How big was MU's personal foul on the onside kick. That extra 15 yards enabled us to go for it on 4th down. Without it, we are punting and who knows how it ends. To think that my drive to EMU in stinkin' 2008 was the last road win...5 years later the streak ends... Let's play above our competition on Saturday and bring home another W.

I bet we get the same grey pinstripe suit.

LOL. Now that is funny!!!

Just saw this on ESPN. Not buying it. Are there instances where the players are at a disadvantage and need some $. Sure. These guys are given an allowance for rent and food. Stop blowing your money all month on stuff and then you can eat. Put down the $100 per month phone, high speed internet connection and every other subscription that everyone is entitled to nowadays. Sure the day is coming where there is a stipend. Good. Send them all a 1099 at the end of the year for the value of a scholarship and the stipend and make them pay taxes. Then what? They will want even more...

We have a hard enough time getting Akron fans to say the University of Akron. And we've had decades to learn it. Good luck with that...

Sorry, I am not buying it nor really looking forward to the game. Not yet, anyway. Maybe by Friday. Sunday and today still feel like a kick in the gut similiar to the feeling after the Penno shot. Last year I thought the team would turn the corner after the Tennessee game and where did that get us... That said, I am totally on the KP16 bandwagaon now. If we can light a fire under Chisolm, then I will be a believer.

You will never get the PI call on the final play on the road, but the series of calls starting with the PI on us that gave UM the lead was garbage. Then the hold call that put us in a first and 20 was a typical, the game is getting too close, let's make it harder. Then, when we overcome it and get the first and goal at the one, what do you know, they review it, make it 3rd down and run off 9 seconds. I want my 9 seconds and 1st and goal back! Why even play the game if this is how the game will be called? Give us our check and let's just stay home... If this nonsense happened to c-bus, Ann Arbor would still be on fire, and who could blame them.

Ok soccer experts, please explain why the soccer game was over after we scored on the penalty kick. There was still time left on the clock in the OT period. Every OT game I have seen the entire 10 minutes are played out.

Can anyone who purchased Michigan tickets through UA confirm the section UA is in?

Really? If I turned on the radio and did not know who the coach was, I would have had a hard time deciding if Ownes, Brookhart, Ianello or "other" was coaching. The game was a carbon copy of dozens of Zips games I've seen before. Very disappointing doesn't really sum up how I felt yesterday.

As for the non-conference schedule I say we: Schedule ONE money game and THREE win(able) games. Schedule ONE money game and THREE win(able) games. Schedule ONE money game and THREE win(able) games. Schedule ONE money game and THREE win(able) games. Schedule ONE money game and THREE win(able) games.

Wait a minute. I thought the BCS powers were going to create their own "division" and only play each other. If this new division hasn't been created by 2015, the lucks will be finding high school teams to play. Let's see, the MAC/YSU to FAMU to high school. Anything to guarantee a victory!!

Is this really you ZippyFan? You sound like someone else!

The response posted to the article says it best.......Although he forgot to mention win a national championship.... Dude is dead on! When you are no longer a child, you put away childish things... … that includes rooting for the “state school” that you don’t attend. Particularly when they are PLAYING THE SCHOOL THAT YOU ACTUALLY DO ATTEND. Sorry, rooting for Big Ten U. when you attend a MAC school is the epitome of weak sauce. The MAC is damn good. Fights above it’s weight class. Went to an Orange Bowl, hoops Sweet 16 and College World Series in the past year. Imagine what the league could accomplish if its students and alumni actually paid as much attention to it as they do some school with which they have no connection whatsoever. Also, given the disrespect that Big Ten fans heap on MAC schools, and the way Big Ten schools use Midwest state legislatures to screw over MAC universities when it comes to funding, I have no earthly idea why any sane MAC student or alum would want to cheer for them. by Papa Lou BSU on Aug 1, 2013 | 10:58 PM ↩reply

While I enjoyed going to Tenneesee and we gave them a game, I, too wouldn't mind playing a schedule where we had a realistic chance to win every game. So while the commish of the Big 12 is hinting at the 5 power conferences ONLY playing each other and keeping all the money, for themselves, the big ten has only agreed at this point not to play FCS teams. A huge difference and one that is meaningless for the big ten. Big deal that YSU is not an option, yet Alabama Birmingham is!! The question is can you get all the commissioners of the big five to agree with Bowlsby. Maybe in time, but not so fast. Also, can you get the AD's and coaches within the big five to sign-on to playing only other big five conference teams? At some point, the best teams will run out of cupcakes within the big five and will actually have to play non-conference games that they might lose. This will not be very attractive when push comes to shove, especially for coaches. Likewise, teams at the bottom of the big five will all be starting the year 1 and 3 and this will not fly either. I am sure the folks in Purdue for example, like the fact that in today's college football they can start the year 3 and 1 and then fight for 0.500. In the big five only scenario, hello to 3 and 9 every year. Go luck with that. Let the fun begin...

Sure, I can see this happening. But to say there are 64ish legit D1 programs who are actually playing for the NC is a joke. In ten years the big 64 will be split again into yet another division. Hell, half the big ten should just jump ship now and come play with the MAC. And who the heck will the big ten schedule if they are only playing with each other? So much for c-bus getting any more games with North Central Florida Christian Academy....

And who is it that cannot wait until the season starts?

Dalton in big D.

Zac is the last Zip I remember.

How 'bout them Cowboys! Love the signing! From one undrafted FA (Romo) to another.... Had the pleasure of meeting Dalton with JZ84 a few weeks back after a scrimmage. He said he is a "Zip for life'. Yesterday after the spring game had the chance to meet his dad. Thanked him as well. I noticed that his dad drove up in a pickup from Texas... Now I see why. ZipsWin! and family are penciling in a trip to big D next fall after he makes the team. We will be looking the Williams' up once in town....

The most widely debated topic in UA hoops history over the last 20 years was Andy Hipsher's back. Joe Dunn has nightly dreams about Andy to this day. Dude was pretty good, but not what everyone thinks he would have been if healthy... In the end, Dan was yet another UA coach who hung on for NINE stinkin years at UA. How was that even remotely possible?
