I used to get mocked more than I have recently for being a fan of Zips football. On Tuesday I got teased by friends and coworkers for the first time about this Saturday's game. But it's not a sign of Joe Akron respecting the Zips; it's a sign that the Zippers have just completely, absolutely, 100% fallen off Joe Akron's radar that they absolutely, positively, 100% don't care in the slightest. It's almost like Akron area Ohio State fans don't even realize they're playing Akron this week, as odd as that sounds.
And even I am still not excited about this year. Usually at this time of year I'm jumping through my skin ready for some Zips football. But even today I'm not sure I'll watch the game tomorrow (of course I will). "Opportunity to compete." Lol. JoeMo should be furious that this schedule was put together. We're set up to fail. Again.
