Couple things: There's no way there was 16,000 people there. Anyone else surprised that Aaris Reed, the true frosh, was out there for a few carries? This city should be embarrassed at that showing, not only for the home opener, but for a team this good coming off a championship season. There really are very few of us in this city that truly deserve a good D-1 team to watch. Also, how is the rubber bowl gonna last 3+ more years?!?!?! Wow that thing gets dumpier by the second. Woulda felt a lot better if we would've owned them the whole game instead of only for the first half. We've yet to see what happens if this team plays a complete game. Wouldve won by two touchdowns at nc state with a second half equal to the first, wouldve won by two touchdowns at CMU with a first half equal to the second, and would've won this one by 50 if we would've been playing to win the entire time rather than playing not to lose. regardless, good end result. here's to bigger and better things as this team continues to gel.

We were all talking about a way to spread the word of Zipsnation. I offered to make this, so here it is. It will be hanging along the fence behind our mega-tailgate. Feel free to stop by and say "HI."

HERE IT IS.

Well here were are...Week 4 of the season, and the eve of the first game at the rubber bowl. I know we all never thought it was coming...What time is everyone going? Our tents will be up and the grill will be cooking eggs at approximately 1030am along the fence.

PERIOD. END OF STORY. Have a nice day. P.S.

i hope i hope i HOPE they do what they did two years ago and let me in for free with my ID. i'm just a poor student, I ain't got ten bucks to be wastin on the flushes. i will if i have to though...

update: now it says 67 and rainy. hmmm...

posted this in the other thread....pretty sure paninis doesnt have twc. we were fighting over the audio there for the penn state game and they were getting a new direct tv nfl package installed. somebody should call em first to verify they'll even be able to get the game.GO ZIPS!

wow. this is seriously funny stuff. There's several "CMU finds it's running game" and "CMU gets the offense going." Did they see who we played and what the box scores looked like? Predicting the zips give up 100 to Sneed after the zips hold penn state to 76 and 103 TOTAL rushing yards? Yeah, I'm all about making the feelgood guesses, but COME ON! In that case, I predict the zips win 114-2 (C. Jackson lets a long snap through his fingers and out of the endzone with 32 seconds left, spoiling the shutout). Here's to a great game And the zips will NOT give up more than 3 touchdowns. Akron 28-20.

^^IN THE ABOVE STATEMENT REPLACE ALL INSTANCES OF THE WORD "IF" WITH THE WORD "WHEN"^^

Today is the first day that we can see the forecast for Saturday the 23rd, and, knock on wood, it's listed as 63 and sunny. PERFECT tailgating weather. Quick, call all your friends and relatives and have em buy tickets while the forecast is still good. We all know how NE Ohio weather can be. GO ZIPS...counting the days till 9/23 @ 6:00PM....oops...can someone move this to the football forum?

Paninis has direct tv. I know this because of the fight we had with them over audio while their nfl pass was installed. Try pints on exchange, they have twc.

oh. and i'd hope the fan vote would count for more. interesting question though.

nice to see i'm not the only one voting. i've noticed each time i hit the button there's a couple more votes up there. i was hoping it wasnt some kids in an osu dorm.

P.S.Go here--> http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/foo...-the-week_x.htmand vote...it ends at noon. OSU guy is gaining ground. FAST.

http://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...0&ATCLID=604878props to media relations for throwing in the link to vote for DK as USA Today P.O.W.

hmmmm....anyone else not seeing the poll anymore? i know it ends at noon...

I can taste the beer and burgers already. We'll be there at around 11am along the fence.GO ZIPS!

Hey guys. spend a few minutes and help me get DK up to the top. you can clear out your cookies and re-vote as much as you want. I've got it up to 29% for DK and 34% for whatshisname from the bucks. HELP!

interesting note here: http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/bowls/predictionsAkron vs Southern Miss in the GMAC? Interesting...and here:http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/polls/119/index2up to 46th from 70th after beating NCST, pushed them from 42 to 55.Closest MAC ranking? Ohio @ 60th. Can't bringin up the rear at 116th out of 119.

Initial line on Zips @ CMU:Akron (-2.5) O/U 47.5I'll be first to offer up. This was a highly technically computed result:Akron 28-17P.S. Had a friend give me this link, I'm intrigued by the predictionshttp://www.marsee.net/06rec.txtread the above link and you'll know even more that

agreed. that atmosphere was absolutely ELECTRIC. high-fives all around. I must admit, I thought I was gonna have a bad night at work when we had 70 yards and 57 seconds to go. The win did make work a lot more fun (the boss is also an akron alum), though I was 2 hours late

would've given an arm and a leg to have been there to see that live. i'll hold onto the memory of seeing "the catch" in detroit. The vid's on my myspace http://www.myspace.com/zipjustin Here's to another big win next week, go zips!

I'll have to go with NCState. Cuz it happened today The atmosphere at Johnny Malloy's was electric. Ask me this question tomorrow, and i'll be back to the MAC championship. My prediction for the season is now off by one game and i'm more than happy to admit it. GO ZIPS!!
