  1. Why I hate Ohio Sate? They aren't The University of Akron!

    I will root for our fellow MAC schools for OOC games but other that, I root against anyone that will negatively influence my team. If Can't is playing BG and BG needs a MAC loss, I would root for Can't. Ohio state is a team that negatively effects my team by taking media coverage. I personally don't care much about any big ten team, but if Ohio state didn't win another game this season, I would be smiling along.

    GO ZIPS!!!

  2. This is going to be a great weekend. Men's soccer Friday and Football on Saturday. I think the game with NIU will be very telling. We looked good against Purdue but lost as expected and won at MTSU which I was expecting. This will be a good challeng against NIU. They are arguably the top team in the MAC right now and win here will go along way toward reaching the MAC championship.

    GO ZIPS!!!

  3. I am not ruling out a win a Purdue. We have not played the game and upsets occur. I know that we were not clicking during last years OOC schedule but we finished strong. As the players get more accustomed to the system, we should be off to a better start. I know that we will be big underdogs going into the game but Akron shouldn't go into any game with a defeated attitude! We can defeat any team on any night if things go our way!

  4. An interesting read. Predicting the Zips at 5-6 with losses to Buffalo and Can't. I think the Zips are capable of 7-4, taking both of those games. I would be very disappointed if we don't stay on the good side of .500 I know that our best years of I-A football are on the horizon, but I feel like the Zips fanbase is growing. A losing record will not help with the fair weather fans and efforts toward a stadium. I feel Akron is capable of being a force in the MAC East and should be in the class of BG and Miami not Can't and OU.

  5. I don't know that much about Doug Johnson, but I am guessing he was not an Academic All American. What a dumb statement for a player to make, especially when the Akron is within 50 miles.

    He has already been passed over in Browns fans mind for backup. I am glad to see Charlie do well and the positive fan support already.

  6. That is great to hear! I have not been downtown lately, but I have noticed more Akron T-shirts, car stickers, and hats being worn. It would be great for the city of Akron to be completely on board with The University of Akron as their team. I hate seeing that Columbus stuff.

    Go Zips!!!

  7. I think the biggest benefit JD has brought to the football team has been the recruiting. To insinuate that he has had a free pass on this board is not true. He is getting the job done.

    Our potential quaterback controversy will be figured out within the first two games. JD has done a great job coaching in his first season and he will figure out the best quarterback for this program.
