WTF does that mean?

Toledo has a “Friends and Family Only” crowd of around 3k tonight, and their weather wasn’t all that bad. The Zips may actually have below 1k butts-in-seats tomorrow night. The weather looks atrocious.

What's our RPI?

One way to jump start the offense is to let Dre Williams and Jeremiah Knight return kickoffs instead of taking the fair catch. Driving the ball 75 yards is not something we've proven to be good at. Those guys are game breakers. And our offense needs as short a field as possible.

Since there were MANY...could you provide a link to one? It shouldn't take long to find? Bueller...Bueller...?

Kato was 17-28 for 277 yards and two TD's. No INT's. 167.4 QB rating.

Would be nice to get Brian Bell back.

Dambrot can have his "Saint V Pipeline." What did it get him while he was at UA? In eleven years...Josh Williams? The Travis/Dru/Rome crew was recruited maybe 15 years ago?

I can't see it happening because it would cost at least $250,000 to bring a team to Akron, and that isn't in the budget. Especially with our Nebraska $1,000,000 not being a sure thing. I think 94Grad has it right...take care of business with the remaining 11 games and earn the bowl eligibility. Don't beat BG and a 1-AA program and try to "buy your way in." NIU has a good chance to be a repeat of 2017's OU game. If the offense can show up. We have a mid-tier-Big10-level defense, and an offense that really hasn't shown up since Northwestern. It's time the O pulls it's weight.

The defending A-10 10th place champs invade Akron? Playing at a high school gym? Sounds too good to be true? Heard nosebleeds are going for $125 bucks on StubHub. Gonna be awesome!

Fearless forecast - The Zips defense forces numerous NIU punts, and Jeremiah "Boogie" Knight dances not once, but twice in the endzone as the punt return team leads the Zips to victory!

Is the crew that used to paint the Rubber Bowl bathrooms completely white every season...right down to the inside of the toilet bowl...still together? Let 'em have at it!

I've heard from multiple sources that Nebraska's payment was originally scheduled for March 2019. So until that time I don't there's going to be much meaningful discussion on the topic. If there's no payment by next March, then things get more concerning.

Unfortunately I'll be 35,000 feet in the air returning from Germany Saturday afternoon, so I can't hook up with you. Hope you find some good guys in Lot 9 that hook you up with a few beers in my absence. Go Zips!

I was in the Frankfurt airport this morning going through Customs in my Akron hoodie when a guy in line turned to me and said "Go Zips! Nice win on Saturday." Later on I turned to a guy in a Purdue hat in the same line and said "Nice win over the Buckeyes on Saturday. He said "Thanks! You guys won in overtime, right?" Nice, globally-recognized win by the Zips on Saturday! Always fun to rock the UA gear in airports after a big win.

Disappointed that Sergeant Zip dug up this old post. Now I’ll never be a Supreme Court Judge.

Damn. There goes my kid's college fund.

I see this as a typical 45-42 Akron-Kent barn burner. I think the Zips pull it out because Kent always finds a way to lose.

If it looks like Nebraska has a chance to screw us out of our appearance fee, I'd guess that the income from a game in Chapel Hill would offset it?

Keep in mind it would have taken I-an-II-o 7 years to win what Jinks won in 2.5 seasons.

Saving Gassers leg with the INT. Crafty. no offensive TDS in the last six quarters for the Zips? I don’t think we’ve even been in the red zone?

Too many designed QB runs. Kato isn’t that effective.

Good things happen when Wolfley is in the game. Give him more snaps!

Our offense is soooo bad. So tough to watch. Hopefully the D can score a couple TDS.

D is going to start tiring soon. Starting to see flashbacks to the Miami game.
