Plenty of mistakes but have to be happy to be tied at the half after last week's debacle. UP appears to be in danger of not covering the spread

I have Frenchy on (internet), it's a full half minute behind gametracker.

Opponents are going to start inviting & escorting us to the red zone...

What did he say that got you off the ledge?

FWIW, Penn State is now #27 in the AP poll, Marshall is #30, and Pitt got 1 vote.

Back to unwatchable...at least for today.

Get as many fast QB's as possible and turn some of them into S's and WR's. And then you also never run out of backup QB's.

they beat Oral Roberts 4-1 on tues. it's game on at 7:00 after we marshall

This game will go a long way in determining whether we will be bowl worthy. EMU at home should be a gimme...all the rest are losable games for us.

Apparently Coach Bowden looks like himself...they're a creative bunch over there.

"Our charge is simple," Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long, who will chair the committee, told USA Today. "Determine the best teams in college football and seed them to play each other." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/09/college_football_playoff_selec_1.html

Interesting line movement, went up to 12.5-13 early, now has come down as low as 10. Prediction: if Zips DB's/LB's wander around the field out of their zones while the QB still has the ball: Marshall 42, Zips 28; otherwise, Zips 28, Marshall 27. Go Zips!

So we killed the zipper at the end of last season, right after Purdue came out with something very similar? Strange.

Madison Myers Commits to Akron, Lands as Best Recruit in Program History http://swimswam.com/madison-myers-commits-akron-lands-best-recruit-program-history/

Goofballs. They used a similar trivia question during the Akron-PSU game (what was the last "current" B1G school that Akron beat and who was the coach?). The announcers were surmising that 'current' was the key word and it was probably Rutgers or Maryland. When they got the answer they pronounced it as buck-TEL college and made another nebulous reference implying that every school claims to have had John Heisman as their coach back in the day. Not surprising that they then conflated us with k e n t within the week...it's all the same to 99% of espn viewers/listeners.

Whadya know...another TD pass for Cincy.

Shoddy pass defense by Toledo.

Herd is #25 in the cbssports 128 rankings. Zips are 85. MU Redhawks are dead last at 128. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/rankings/cbs/128

Cool. That's the first time I've heard of the NDOE.

MTH favored by 3 TD's over OUB http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/odds

http://fansided.com/2014/09/06/akron-coach-terry-bowden-sports-worst-orange-dye-job-history-photo/ still a mystery...

The Bowdens are faith-based folks from the south. Now it appears there is an opening at a faith-based university in the south. If we make a bowl game this year they are sure to notice TBHC. Just sayin... http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11490096/june-jones-resigns-smu-mustangs-coach
