They must be double teaming J. Lane.

Toledo beats #18 Arkansas.

sooners down 0-17 at tennessee early 2q

Wheeeeeeee...keep em coming Zips!

Needed that goal before halftime. Now regroup and come out strong in the 2nd.

I've got the video feed going from gozips.sidearmsports.com link posted above. Had to allow it via pop-up blocker (chrome browser). The 0-2 score is unfortunately correct per announcer David Suntup.

That may be the one sport where there's a bit of overlap. They may also have an occasional soccer/track/rifle athlete that could make our teams.

It's always fun to calculate the score prediction of the betting public. With an over/under of 50 and us now being 12 point underdogs, they think it will be Pitt 31 Zips 19. http://espn.go.com/college-football/lines

Did you hear what they said about Grice's pro opportunity not being as a D-lineman?

http://pittsburgh.forums.rivals.com/threads/looking-for-akron-pregame-ideas-coming-in-for-the-game.21576/ Bumping this older thread for the visitors. Maybe some updates are in order. I can't help much, being out of the area.

Cincinnati had 39K at Nippert yesterday.

Panthers favored by 2 TDs. I will watch on ESPN3 but I can't handle the WARF audio broadcasts any longer because of the commercials.
