Let'sGoZips94

One last opinion - this defense will win us the MAC if the offense doesn't lose it. This defense is a top 25 caliber defense (team ranking wise, not the unit's ranking itself). Multiple NFL prospects, speed, length, athleticism. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Met a guy at our hotel that is a huge Nebraska fan. He told me Akron is probably lucky that game got cancelled. Should be noted: that was before today.

Whoops - you're right. Haha. Sorry, I am in Wailea on Maui. Aloha, brah! Shaka! By the way, I believe this is technically Akron's first win against a Big Ten squad, since OSUcks didn't join the Big Ten until 1912. Not sure what conference they were in during the 1894 season.

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN AKRON BEAT NORTHWESTERN?! ME? I AM IN MAUI ON MY HONEYMOON! WATCHED IT ON MY PHONE FRON THE BEACH! FLY THE JOLLY ROGER!

Love that we're recruiting Indiana.

According to Nebraska Fan Forum, no game tomorrow.

This gives us a chance to all go to church tomorrow and pray for a Zips win. I'm just glad the game will be played.

Game has been cancelled. Not sure if that verbiage means it will be made up or cancelled altogether.

Huskers fan whose sister is/was at the game said the game has been called. https://nebraska.forums.rivals.com/threads/they-are-going-to-call-the-game-thunderstorms-lined-up-for-next-4-hours.216531/page-3 Not so fast, to quote Lee Corso. Nothing from Matt Reynolds in confirmation, but it does sound like this could be played tomorrow at 10am or 1pm. https://twitter.com/Matt_Reynoldson/status/1036084806633828352

Any possibility our AD can use this as a selling pitch to other schools to pay us to come play a game against them? We pack stadiums!

A Huskers poster started a thread titled "My Buzz Has Worn Off", with the body of the post reading, "Should I keep drinking?" We've reached that point folks.

You're telling me Lincoln doesn't have more resources than Kalamazoo?

https://twitter.com/Matt_Reynoldson/status/1036077288062894080 Sounds like there is a huge push to play this game no matter how late it goes. I'm all for it.

Keep it that way for the 9th-17th (my honeymoon).

If by chance that did happen, that would be pretty cool. The Twilight Game.

I believe it would be moved to tomorrow. i.e. Western Michigan from last year(?).

Immediately following the opening kickoff (Zips boomed it into the back of the end zone), there is a weather delay.

Flipping back and forth on my birthday between the Indians, Michigan/Notre Dame, and the Zips with an Octoberfest in my hand. With around 10-20 minutes until kickoff, here's to an excellent 2018 season. Dilly dilly ladies & gentlemen!

I know it's not the MAC, but Appalachian State is up 7 on Penn State with 1 minute to go.

Central Michigan up 17-7 with 5:33 to go in the first half.

The day is off to a great start with Illinois knocking off Can't State. Let's see what prime-time has to offer. 38-31 Akron. Go Zips!

I may be a little extra jazzed by the news of the Indians acquiring Josh Donaldson, but tomorrow is the first game! BEAT THE CORNHUSKERS!

So everyone in attendance gets a driver head cover?

Please do. I will gladly retain my permanent spot on that team. It's even better when the optimism is factually based. Go Zips! Exactly. It's not like this kid was the sure-fire starter coming into camp. He had to win the job, and it doesn't sound like it was a convincing victory, either. Time will tell, but on paper, it's a great scenario for us.
