Announcer: "And yet another difficult shot by Ivey. And if you're Akron I'm not sure that's the shot you're looking for." ?

Just jumping in here so I'm sure this has already been said, but Duvivier doesn't have his J tonight & Ivey still hasn't found any sort of groove yet this season. That's bad games from two of our 3 main guns.

Game's not listed on ESPN3

Football 101: Stop the Run, Stop the Run, Stop the Run. If Woodside beats us with his arm then tip our hats to him.

That's not saying a whole lot, 'Meister.

Plus, he's only a true freshman. Under most other circumstances I'd have to think he'd be redshirting this season.

THAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU. That was such a ill-timed, horrendous buzz kill it actually pissed me off.

Though we won the MAC East, I think everyone knows we're really not that good of a team. But coming into this year, I just wanted to survive this year, as I think we're going to be substantially better next year. The recruiting really picked up last year... I should say the recruiting REALLY picked up last year... and has continued into this year. In my lifetime I've never seen a Zips' recruiting class fill so early in the season with such quality verbals as this year's recruiting class did. We have such a strong list of verbals ready to sign that for the first time I can ever remember I couldn't have cared less about what recruits were in attendance at last night's game. Recruiting is a program's lifeblood. I think the future looks really bright.

Huh?

I enjoyed singing Sweet Caroline. So did everyone around me, so that was cool. But other than that the 4th-quarter usage of the jumbo tron was, like you said, a COMPLETE buzz kill.

Had a great time last night! Got some lower reserved seats behind the Zips bench & loved the view! Crowd was great in lower reserved. Seemed like a good crowd overall. The student section was jammed. Loved it! Go Zips!

Jerk.

I was thinking about this yesterday. Soccer, basketball & football putting up W's after W's after W's. Man, it's good to be a Zip!

K.ent's gonna be coming after our punts tonight. Gasser's a little slow in getting those punts off.

We don't have much of a rivalry with NIU because they've been dominant in football while we've been awful, and we've been dominant in basketball while they've been awful.

I thought that was actually a pretty good article

Our main rival is K.ent State. Kent is a suburb northeast of downtown Akron. It takes less than 15-minutes to get from UA to KSU. Though K.ent calls themselves the Golden Flashes, their mascot is an eagle-looking bird. The above picture is a dead flash. Lol

It'd be nice to at least be able to track how many points & fouls each player has.

East seems to be the new bully on the block... but we'll see if they sustain their success. East has won the City Series 2 years in a row now. Buchtel's still tough, though. It's a shame neither made the playoffs, as both could have made some noise. Garfield has really fallen off. They're now combined with Kenmore & presently the school's called "Kenmore-Garfield." Idk if they're going to change that name, or not. They kept the maroon & gold colors & the rams mascot, so it wasn't really a merger of two equals. Lots of tradition @ Garfield. Firestone cranks out some nice individual talent once-in-a-while, but they rarely have a team to write home about. North is abysmal. Last year Ellet was very good; this year they were awful. So, who knows.

... K.ent State still sucks! ^^This is where I am in my thinking. I just can't figure out why it took the staff 4 years to get the recruiting ball rolling. I thought with names like Bowden and Amato it'd happen immediately. Whatever. It's rolling now & that's all that matters.

He sounds great! Do you know if he's been contacted by any UA coaches? They have to be aware of him. Is he a late bloomer?
