We have this game recorded on our DVR. I was 12 years old then. I had school the next morning, but who gave a crap. My dad and I went up to watch our Zippers crush the hopes and dreams of NIU. That was one of the greatest moments ever in Akron history. Plus, I got on Channel 5 News. My dad bought us the MAC championship winner hats and I wore it to school the next morning. I marched right up to my science teacher, who was a HUGE Can't Statecks fan, and shoved the hat in his face.
We also have all the Sportscenters and stuff recorded from the next day to hear about Akron's great win. The greatest line ever wasn't about Akron positively, it was about NIU positively. John Anderson said during a highlight of Wolfe running for a huge gain, "Haha Akron, I will poop on ALL YOUR DEFENSE!" I don't care if it bashed Akron, because Akron won that game.
Bring on the puppy dogs of NI-Who tonight. We kick their butt in everything else, BUT football. Let's change that tonight. Go Zips! AND REMEMBER:
