How is Ohio's win vs. BG a surprise? They have losses to UConn and Tennessee, and in both those games they were highly competitive. As opposed to BG, who went down 48 - 0 to Boise State.OU is for real. If the Zips aren't ready this coming Saturday, they'll run us off the field.

Baloney.Like Bowling Green w/Urban Meyer, the Zips wouldn't have the near the money to keep the nation's top football coach in town, but they certainly have enough money to keep the nation's top soccer coach in town.What does the Ohio State soccer coach make? $145,000/yr? We couldn't find an extra 10k to keep Caleb if an OSU offer came about? Get real. Aren't the Zips someting like 26 - 6 - 3 against Ohio State lifetime? Why the hell would a UA coach go there? It's like Jim Tressel leaving OSU for Pitt. The title of University of Akron Soccer Coach is now pretty much on-par with "Maryland Soccer Coach" or "Penn State Soccer Coach." You can be #1 in the nation @ UA. You can get the #1 pick in the MLS draft from UA. You can sell out games @ UA. And you can get paid like an upper-echelon coach @ UA.If Porter leaves it will likely be for a job beyond the collegiate level. He can achieve whatever collegiate goals he has in Akron. If he departs...it would suck, but we would successfully move on. UA is committed to being a Top 10 soccer program. We've been one for decades.

I invoke one rule -- If you think that a player with dreadlocks looks like Whoopie Goldberg...so does everyone else. NO WHOOPIE GOLDBERG PICS! Be more creative!I have yet to decide whether or not to include Emmanuel "Webster" Lewis in this edict too.

The vote tally is looking eerily similar to the Zips/CMU halftime score. Coincidence?

Since GP1 loves Facts --CMichFan Wrote: And what is the guy's record in those games? I'll tell you -- It's freaking 1 - 11!! LeFevour is 1-2 in Bowl games, with a 31 - 14 win against Middle Tennessee to his credit. He lost, IN DETROIT, to Florida Atlantic in last seasons MCB!?CMichFan Wrote -- Thanks for the correction that he didn't play in the Indiana game...that was one win for which I erroneously gave him credit. Regarding the "He didn't start against BC and K.e.n.tucky -- He threw 37 passes against BC and 38 passes against K.e.n.t.ucky?! You act like he sat the bench...give me some credit...all the facts are EASILY searchable.CMichFan Wrote: Roethlisberger lost 21-3 AT Iowa, not in Oxford. That same season Roethlisberger BEAT BCS opponents Cincinnati, Northwestern and Louisville on his way to a 13-1 season!? He tripled LeFevour's CAREER BCS wins in a single season!CMichFan Wrote: You seem to favor opinion over facts. I would too if my arguments were so devoid of facts. LeFevour tears up MAC competition. But on the big stage, he's been a big flop. That's a fact.

I can. If I ever invent a time machine I'm going to set it to 1994 and let you sit through that entire Zips season.

MapQuest says Akron-to-Georgetown Ky is 4hours and 48 minutes.To EKy in Richmond is 45 minutes.I say the Zips are worth the extra 4 hours.

No, the NCAA said that because of field conditions the game would have to be played here...It was added in this years rules, it is our second "home field" each team has one, but most everyone's is actually near their University except us. Luck of the draw they said.Hey can we get a "Z" painted on our field in the center circle like Northwestern has??We just need to rotate the "N" 90 degrees and it's a "Z?"

UK fans need to see film of Matt Seibert and Klass Zollner.

If I had a way to get it from you, I'd take it. I have a ticket, but the kid doesn't. If you want to hide it on campus and PM me a treasure map, I'll hunt it down!

I think Captain has already described his salad days at old McDonald High. McDonald: 5 - 0 this season, and #10 in the state! (gotta use this until I can Photoshop an "ICL Champs" smilie)

We had two consecutive losing seasons with Jacquemain @ QB. He's not the benchmark.

From what little I've seen of Matt, he's an outstanding person. He's always been great to my son at the Meet the Team events. His grades and character are a coach's dream. I spoke to the coaching staff a few years ago when Matt was recruited and the first thing they mentioned was his leadership qualities. He was a big part in the reason why many of the kids in his recruiting class came to UA, as he kept in touch with a lot of them during the recruiting process, telling them "You gotta come here!" I hope he doesn't run. I want him to succeed. He has his chance. Unfortunately there are 3-4 QB's on every team that want the ball. Only he QB that gives the team the best chance to win gets it.

Charlie Frye? How many Championships did Frye win at UofA? The career LeFevour has has at CMU dwarfs what Frye did at UofA.Stick LeFevour with Lee Owens...with Jesse Smith as his defense's #2 cornerback for four years...it's a wash. Let's see how Dan finishes the season. He should have one more chance to get a win over a 6-6 BCS school.

Considering the rain, and subsequent field conditions, should I expect a 2pm announcement that the match has been moved to Columbus?

That was a fun read. Thanks for posting it!

Does "Burning a Redshirt" mean the same thing as playing the best QB? If it does, I'm all for it.BTW - I don't see any of the guys in the Basketball Forum complaining that Dambrot is "Burning Zeke's Redshirt" this season.

To clarify my position on Dan LeFevour:I have stated he is overrated, and folds against BCS competition. I stand by that statement.He's racked up a ton of yardage vs. a weak MAC. I give him credit. His overall numbers don't lie. But against big-time competition, he typically comes up short. Guys like Pennington, Roethlisberger and Leftwich seemed to come out ahead in a fair percentage of such games.Dan's BCS bio --2007Boston College - Loss 31-24Michigan - Loss 41 - 17Ke.n.t.ucky - Loss 46 - 362007Kansas - Loss 52 - 7Purdue - Loss 45 -22Clemson - Loss 70 - 14Purdue (MCB) - Loss 51 - 482008Georgia - Loss 56 - 17Purdue - Loss 32 - 25Indiana - Win 37 - 34Florida Atlantic (MCB) - Loss 24 - 212009 Arizona - Loss 19 - 6Michigan State - Win 29 - 27The guy pounds the MAC, but I don't place him as an all-time MAC great because he came up short in too many big games.Maybe this is the year he elevates his game and beats someone of note in a bowl game? It could happen. Maybe he is to me what Charlie Frye is to GP1? Could be.But, in how I rate all-time great MAC QB's, the guy is categorized "1-a." A rating of "1" being the highest.I don't think the guy sucks. I'd kill to have him on the Zips right now. But I don't think the body of his work merits a 60-foot tall banner. I'd have made it 52.5 feet tall.Time to move on...my goal now is to make Boo Jackson PM GP1.

Did someone say "Smack?"

He's a 6' 5" shooter. His dad was Calvin Oldham, who played at Virginia Tech in the early 80's.
