This may be true, but would it really be sporting for the opponents to play with their eyes closed? Heck, I bet the Zips could even beat the Cavaliers if each of the Cavs was blindfolded.

So do you think Delmonico had 40 interceptions this past season and Emert decided to write it as XXXX instead of XL, or do you think Emert just sent the piece to print before he found out the real number to substitute for the place holder XXXX?

I'm not an engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Take Akron and give the 2 1/2 points.I predict a 14 point Akron win.

I'm still looking forward to the day (and it should be soon) when Turner Gill leaves Buffalo and they return to MAC bottom-feeder within 2 years of his departure. A silver lining in the loss to Buffalo. I think that game may have doubled the odds Gill moves on (and up) at the end of this season.

Anyone who thinks that having an on campus stadium will automatically draw lots of students once the newness of the facility wears off is kidding themselves. A nearby (but only one of many possible) example: Miami drew a total crowd of around 1,000 against Ball State. Play crappy, fans ain't happy.

It happens all the time.

I predict a 14 point win for the Zips.

Not trying to start a flame war, but I wish you all would realize that we don't have "homestands" we aren't YSU and we aren't a high school. We have West Stands (press tower) and East Stands. I mean the south seating area (the berm and the 2 adjacent sections on both sides of the field) is going to be designated as the student section. There is reserved seating on both sides of the field. General admission is going to be from the 30 yard to the goal line on both sides.Please people we have to get out of this low class mentality.Oh Oh.... better tell this guyhttp://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...;ATCLID=1622477

A better title for this thread would have been "Urban Legend." This is the kind of story that would be invented by a speech major and only believed by education majors.

As our former illustrious leader W.J. Clinton might have said, "it depends what the definition of 'are' are." From 76-81 I was a Zips fan in Wisconsin and from 81-87 I was a Zips fan in Nebraska. Do those count?

Your post raises another question; when will ZipsNation.org go off Daylight Savings Time?

If you think the attendance in Cleveland last year wasn't so good for the Akron-Army game, how about Western Michigan and Illinois attracting 12,865 in Detroit today? Still a good win for the MAC.

I will not be in attendance, but will be there in spirit. Not sure of the exact score, but pretty sure Akron wins by 14.

I mentioned this on previous thread on this topic, but will repeat, I am the proud holder of three tickets to the fifth game of the year. I figure they will be honored when the team comes back to town.

True! And, now that I think about it, with a spread offense aren't quicker players generally a better fit for the spread scheme than a slower, less shifty 6'5" receiver anyhow?As long as we are putting lipstick on the pig, please explain to the rest of the class why you would rather date the bearded lady from the circus instead of the Playboy centerfold.

Swingin Dick is right up there with one of my high school assistant football coaches: Jack Mehoff.No Joke.

Looking at the three verbals we have so far apparently one of the important criteria is shortness. Don't get me wrong. I think short people deserve to play football too, and if the MAC converts to an "under 6 feet" league (like intramural basketball) we have a real leg up on the competition.

"Going into the wind"I thought NIU had an indoor football facility!

Finally a spokesperson who can offer some cogent remarks to offset the dribble posted by others on this board.

I believe they had to paint over the student signatures so there would be room for the big wheels John Hancocks.

That's my understanding too.It is the NFL where the home team has the choice.Don't tell LSU about this.

Mistake, or cleaver ploy to solicit additional funds from the makers of Viagra? I will keep my ears in their fully erect position listening for more news.

We must be watching different games. The Ohio U team I am watching is not good and the Owls are just awful.

I can't tell from the camera angle. Does he get credit for a sack or just a tackle?
