Zips win by 14. With 2 missed extra points and a safety.

Well, that's nothing to brag about if you started in 2021.

Washington State and Oregon State might be looking for games.

Sorry, I have blotted the Kentucky game from my memory and, therefore, it does not count. Hence, Morgan State must be in the SEC.

How in the world did Morgan State get into the SEC???

Clark, it's difficult to break from tradition. On a different issue: I looked forward all week to watching the Zips/Indiana game as advertised on the big ten network. It even was mentioned during half time of the preceding game. But at the appointed time they showed a game between 2 big 10 teams. I was bummed. Question, the missed field goal at the end of the game; which was it: bad snap, bad hold, bad kicker?

Are you predicting the Zip's kicker will hit two field goals or miss an extra point? Personally, I'm thinking the Zips might go for the rare triple safety.

The UK/UA game should be a classic resistible force versus a movable object game. Go Zips.

I put those on the ground crew. They should have mowed the artificial turf shorter.

By the way, the Harriers have the contest with Akron listed as an exhibition game on their schedule.

Miami-Hamilton!!! If the Zips are still looking for a couple of games, they could ramp up local interest by scheduling the Goodyear Wingfoots. There must be enough of the players still above grass that they could put together a team. Also might consider contacting some of the area YMCAs to see if there is any interest in playing the Zips.

Most of these teams have a lot in common this week. EMU, Ohio and WMU are playing non FBS opponents so let's focus on the others. Your tier 1 team is a 9.5 underdog Your remaining 1 tier 2 team is a 16.5 underdog. Your 6 tier 3 teams are an average 16 underdog. Your remaining tier 4 team is a 35.5 underdog. Not a lot of respect from the books in week one. They say the MAC finishes week 1 with an 0-9 (5 of which fall into the money game category) record against FBS teams. Ouch.

That's not surprising. The EJ / Kurt relationship hardly ever gets mentioned.

Is this it?

NO WAY. In 2026 this game will have been played 3 years ago.

At this rate, by 2026 it will be an even money game.

Got sacked by two guys. Neither one seemed to have hit him very hard. Got up slowly on his own and walked to the correct sideline. Maybe one of the tacklers said something mean about his mom.

Come up with your best answer to each of the following three questions about this season’s football team using just your brain (***NO PEEKING at the roster or other written information sources***). 1. There are currently 106 players on the roster; how many of them are listed as being less than 6’0”?” 2. Which of the following three states has provided the most players to this season’s Zip squad: Florida, Georgia, or Pennsylvania? 3. What is the total weight, in tons, of the 106 players on this season’s squad? Big prizes may be available for the person who supplies the answer closest to the correct answer for each question (but probably not).

OK, it's the count down to a BIG announcement about Zips football (but don't tell anyone else).

Nope. Count down to Zips football. ZipsNation apparently cannot afford one of those countdown programs, so I'm doing my part to build the anticipation. 3

55, I hope you are still checking in here, and for your sake I hope that you saw through the wildly optimistic comments two of Zipsnation's members made in response to your post. The rational Nation members all recognize that the Temple football squad is head and shoulders above our team and are bracing themselves for the pasting the Owls are sure to put on them Sept. 2. I just beg of you to forgive our members who may have been just a tad overly optimistic about the Zips, and to do whatever you can to convince your team not to punish ours too badly.

Sounds like Akron and the MAC resemble a Rembrandt painting. Perhaps the MAC should rebrand itself as the Chiaroscuro League.
