Does Toledo/BGSU sell out every time? I don't know. Does UC/Miami sell out every time? Is the MAC suddenly being held to Big10 attendance standards? At this point it's become moot. Future Can't at Akron games will be in the new stadium and will be 25K sellouts. Will BuckZip congratulate us in the future whenever we have a sellout? I don't know

But what time do the bandwagoners begin their Central Ohio Regional U. festivities? If they went to the Akron/Can't game they wouldn't have gotten out in time (as we know from the TV coverage). Most casual/bandwagon fans only follow the ranked teams they see on SportsCenter and whose programs have had a huge head start on us ... this has already been talked about. I once heard some people I know talking about a local kid who plays at CMU and they said "I think CMU is in the MAC-10". Casual fans don't even know the conferences outside of the BCS.

So Bill, how did the sales go today? Good, I hope. If you decide to expand the line, I would be interested in a Wagon Wheel keychain or fridge magnet

TURNOVERS !!! (I guess it works both ways...way to go Reggie!)

Turnovers.

One of the unique nicknames in all of intercollegiate athletics belongs to The University of Akron. Suggestions submitted by students, faculty, and alumni included Golden Blue Devils, etc. The winner, freshman Margaret Hamlin, received a prize of $10 for Zippers - a $6 pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company. Let's bring back the original Zippers overshoes that we're named after and make them in team colors with logos, etc. They would be retro-cool and everybody could wear them to the games (they'd come in handy in Nov. and thru basketball season) Then if someone asks "what's a Zip?" you can just show them your Zippers. Everybody loves 'new' footwear fashions and it would be something unique to UA. Maybe someone here can do a preliminary photoshop design. More licensing revenue for the department (and a great gift idea) !

And CJ got nominated on offense.Did you see what the Buffalo QB did against Penn St.? Yikes!OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEKDrew Willy, QB, BuffaloJunior - Randolph, N.J. (Randolph HS)Willy went 28-for-39 for a career-high 330 yards and a touchdown against 12th-ranked Penn State in a 45-24 loss. The junior signal caller completed 72 percent of his passes against one of the top defenses in the nation. The 330 yards passing was the second highest single game total in the Bulls’ Division I-A era. Willy led a UB offense that produced the most points vs. PSU in regulation in the last 12 games

Can't WILL have to prepare for both since Chris will play also. Maybe their coaches will teach us how to defend against a mobile QB

Opening at 4 points. I guess they're figuring we'll have trouble with Edelman again.

The winning prognostication. I hope you pick the Zips this week 74...!

There you have it. The Zips coaches do make adjustments. We just have to work with the material we have.

The same goes for dedicating someone to "spy" the QB, which a lot of people seem to think is the answer...it opens up other vulnerabilities. We need to recruit mo better DL's who can rush, contain and chase down a mobile QB. My contention is the new stadium will allow us to do that, starting this fall and I think the 3-3-5 will be scrapped in 08 or 09. I don't think this is a bad Indiana team either with the weapons they have. Hoeppner had them headed in the right direction and with the B10 looking a bit down they should make some noise. And don't forget that we showed signs of life on offense and now the other MAC teams will have to deal with our mobile QB, assuming we stick with CJ. It will be Doug Martin's stomach doing the cartwheels as he watches this game film and Can't may get a taste of their own medicine this Saturday.

CJ !!

thank you thank you thank you.what happened to our run defense?

And who's to say the state won't nudge us to schedule the in-state opponent like they did with OSU. If attendance improves and we're not as desperate for revenue, I (and the coaches) won't have any problem with opening the season at home against a 1aa instead of on the road in the SEC or Big Tenleven. Guin RooBTW, I see Marshall had their long-sought date w/West Va. -- that should simmer them down for a while.

IU 27, UA 20Take the Zips +13.

If college players turn on the TV or look at a newspaper they may see praise or criticism of themselves or their team or their coaches from the media so I doubt if it matters much if they read what Joe sixpack says on a fan forum...I'm sure they already have enough confidence and thick enough skin to not put much stock in it. I would prefer to think that the administration checks in to see what the fans like and dislike about the program and to pick up on any useful suggestions. At least we know that UAM visited once in a while.

http://media.www.buchtelite.com/media/stor...p-2959656.shtmlWe were a man down for 40 minutes (red card). There goes the national ranking but we're still #6 in Great Lakes Region.

I voted yesterday and today. Cavman Zippy
