At this point, it has to be a statistical anomaly that we have had as many epically bad coaching hires as we have actually had.

Maybe you should just tailgate and go home, pretending the Zips won. Seems to be a healthier approach to me.

Gents, it's still soccer season and we are legit National Championship contenders! Don't rush to basketball so quickly.

Maybe it's a good thing that so many people were distracted by the marathon today? It is often said that any publicity is good publicity. In terms of Zips football, I strongly disagree. What an embarrassment!

We can't beat bad teams (IU and UB) even when they try to hand us the game. That's been the story of Akron football for as long as I've followed with a few exceptions during Brookhart's and Bowden's tenures. Untimely penalties, poor discipline, narrow play calling, and an inability to adapt a game strategy are all coaching. New coach. Same Akron. Let the revolving door continue until someone like Tressel wants to rescue us out of sheer pity.

What are the chances that Jim Tressel wants to return to coaching?

If there ever was a game that deserves to end in a tie, this is it. Poor play by both teams.

Up two men for a good portion of a game that we dominated, but we can't get a second goal?! What is going on?! That's three games in a row that we should have won yet come away with ties. These new OT rules definitely do not work in our favor. They let inferior teams sit back and defend and play for a tie or lucky counter attack. Another 30 minutes of OT onslaught makes that much more difficult. Between this and football it was not a good night for the Zips.

And imagine if he weren't out for a large portion of the 2nd quarter...no pick six, we win kneeling on the ball to end the game in regulation.

What's so frustrating to me is that right now, the difference between winning and losing has been razor thin, and most of the handicap against winning is self-inflicted.

Nothing like snapping defeat from the jaws of victory.

Damn it! How did we lose that game?! Shoulda gone for it on 4th!

On IU's 2 point conversion, there was a back wide open outside!!! How lucky are we?!

Shoulda gone for it on 4th!

Go for it!

BTN switched to Akron-IU!

It was too good to be true.

You've got to be kidding me...32 yard miss?! I could make that! Put me in coach!!!

Wow! Call me shocked! Go for 2?!

Or special teams via a block or return.

Can the D get us a TD or the ball in a position that generates a near sure score?

At least the D is fresh for the 4th quarter. I wasn't expecting that.

Is Irons hurt? Why in the world is Undercuffler in?! We were moving the ball and had the lead with Irons.

We should be running the ball on offense for no other reason than to shorten the game and give our D a chance in terms of total plays over the course of the game.

Me too. Super frustrating. I only have access to one BTN.
