My son is a HS senior this year and wants to check out the campus Saturday morning. I'll keep an eye open for you around 2:30pm. Hope some other Zips fans will stop by too.

I guess they can be on either sideline? Maybe since they were on the away side last week and lost, they'll return to the home side?

Former Zips Defensive Coordinator doing well at Rhode Island

I think if the Zips can hit the 350 yard mark Saturday night, they’ll win. Sampson, Gilbert and Davis should have big days, leading to multiple INT’s for our veteran secondary. in my perfect world, this is a Marshall Part II game. Kato comes of age and leads us to a blowout. But I’ll go with Akron 34 Northwestern 27.

Possibly missing two starting tackles on Saturday?

From as little as you can tell from a game in the rain against a bad 1-AA program, I'm pretty amped up about the Zips defense. I think the pressure we'll put on the opposing QB's this year is going to lead to a lot of INT's. Feel terrible for DeMarcus Lloyd. Has an early, season-ending injury last season, and gets a medical hardship to play in 2018...works hard in the off-season and earns the starting nod for Game #1...and it lasts 2 plays. The player I'm most excited about is Dre Williams. He's a playmaker. I can't wait to see him get the ball in the open field. Nice to see Deltron Sands healthy after the game. The snaps on FG's and extra points scare me. Hope we shore that up quickly. Justin Sampson seems to have taken a big step forward this year? I'll be interesting to see how effective he is when going up against a Big 10 offensive line. This was a good game for Kato to get his feet wet. Overall I thought he looked ok. He threw some nice deep balls, and ran adequately too. The hot-headedness continues to be a concern. As well as INT's. I know the McGriff drop wasn't his fault, but there were a couple other tosses that a better team would have picked on Saturday. Van Edwards acquitted himself well. Can he do it against a Big10 team though? I saw less of Maverick Wolfley than I'd expected. But when Williams is healthy we're pretty deep at the TE/H-back position. Should be a fun game on Saturday evening. If we can avoid turnovers, and create a few of our own, I think we've got a solid chance for a win.

Got my South Lot parking pass today form StubHub. 30 bucks after all the fees were included. See everyone there! It would be cool to have 20+ Zips fans centralized. I'll also be flying a Zips flag. Expecting to arrive around 2:30 pm (CST).

WMU May surrender 70 to Michigan today.

Any umbrellas or rain gear?

Had a "Naughty or Nice" Christmas Ale on tap at a bar in Twinsburg a couple nights ago. I thought it was outstanding. It had the viscosity and body of Great Lakes, but much more spice-forward. Mucky Duck Brewery

Maybe this guy can help you.

North, Central or South?

On his Twitter feed he says "I prefer to be called by my last name." Zipmeister's new favorite player?

That would be great. Sub hub has parking passes for 20 bucks. Let me know if you’re in the central or north course lot and I’ll get a pass.

Tickets done. Hotel booked. Next up is identifying the best tailgate lot... Thread on NW Tailgating Bleacher Report Article

I splurged for the $13.00 tickets ($19 after all the Stub Hub fees). Row 12. Section 107.

Northwestern game day info Nice thread on Northwestern game day info

Bizarre. If the Zips were so bad as to completely drop out of the top 25, how could NC State’s win over the Zips be so impressive as to vault them from 17 to 4 ?

Did George VanHorne say something that pissed off Lincoln Riley?

We’ll have our hands full with Kent this year. Their QB is a baller.

Last year’s Husker team gave up 50 points four times last season. Frost can’t turn that around in one season. I say the Zips cover.

Don't know how many will be making the trip to Northwestern, but I'll be there too.

Anyone up for peeing in their Friday Flakes? It would be nice to completely ruin their "Scott Frost Coronation Ceremony" (are they even playing a game?) Saturday night.

Wonder what it will take for him to stick with a team? He’s been an all pro in the pre season for the past couple years?
