Well my other half is an RA and apparently it has been confirmed that Proenza agreed to giving the students friday off school if 5K students attend last week/this week's game combined.Unfortunately this was kept quiet because they didn't want the students going for that reason alone; they were just supposed to go on their own.I wish we knew how many students were there last week but I guess all we can do is try and get more to come this week and hope we get 5000 students! I know I wouldn't mind a day off :)Have they done anything like this before? Not like it matters for me personally because I will be there with my girl a 3 or four of my pals but I was just wondering what you guys thought of this?

agreed. Can we convince the Rowdies to storm the field in honor of the last game at the bowl? I usually enjoy watching them from a distance but I would certainly love my shot at standing out there on the pitch :)I will be there with my parents and a couple friends.

lol sometimes the Can't filter is a pain in the ass!!That was a funny read on our favorite NE Ohio cess pool lol

You cannot listen live during sports broadcasts. At least it has not worked for football for me, it says when you try to that you cant.I believe that in order to listen on the internet you've got to purchas a ZipPass on GoZips.com. Then you listen from the Zips website. It's worth it IMHO. They often have video as well as audio. I believe it cost $60 a year, but I have watched a number of different football and basketball games online.on sportsradio1350 there is no fee to listen during games, both football and basketball. French for free? Yes please

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the band already spells out Z-i-p-s during the pregame in normal letters?

being a youngin' and having never seen that before, I have to say that that is cool! However I agree that it should not be brought back.

If I can find my camera I will go ahead and snap some pics for ya!

oh come on, you have got to be kidding me... Someone seriously wrote that? I think their projection of 70k in attendance each week was off by a zero

Just caught the top ten on ESPN. Boy, seeing that play again makes me glad I was there to see it.I'm with you, johnny. When he was running all I could see was the 4 and I was thinking it was either Doug or Bryan Williams! He has some quick feet for a D-Lineman.

I will admit that I will only be attending the first half tonight.But as a student I don't have to pay so it's no harm in ditching out at halftime!!! Plus they don't provide us with DVRs here in campus housing

Great game for the Zips. We were very effective offensively. Our defense concerns me however. I thought Jacq lead the offense exceptionally and the O-Line was on fire allowing Kennedy to rush for 150 some odd yards. DK had a great game. He was very patient. I think the Zips can build off this win and hopefully come out with their third win in a row next thursday!I do not recall reading anywhere about an Andre Jones injury. He certainly did not play today. Any one have info on AJ?

Conditioning

I will definitely be there.I predict another strong game from us with our usual 4th quarter woes but I still think the Rockets will come up short in the end and we win.Zips 37Rockets 32

im getting quite sick of people claiming this, when i go to games, the people who are listening to the suckeyes on the radio while tailgating are the Alumni and NOT the students.I just dont see this huge love for OSWHO.It's there but not as much as you claim.as a current Akron student and faithful Zips football follower, I do not see the harm in supporting and rooting for more than one team. So long as they do not exist in the same conference and have to play each other regularly.I grew up watching Ohio State football. In my high school days, I was obsessed with it. I loved it so much I painted my room scarlet and grey. However, when touring colleges I fell in love with the University of Akron. My first year here I still supported and watched the Buckeyes but I never missed a Zips home football game. I still have yet to miss a home game(with the exception of the post-Turkey Day games) since I've started going here. I do my best to bring people to games with me, including my parents who come up to the games despite living an hour away.Oh, and I do all this without being a member of the AK-Rowdies.

Well here's one we don't get to see much. I actually saw it first on ESPN's ticker last night, but DK ended up the top rusher in the nation yesterday. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/weekly?group=80Of the top ten he also had the highest YPC. Definitely shows what kind of effort he put in!!!

French says the second best performance in Zips history. Congrats, DK!

Wow 277 yards for DK. When he was at 264 Frenchie said he was 4th on the list for top rushing games. Wonder if he moved up at all?

I take back everything I said last week about JD. This is a humiliating result!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OK -- I take back what I just wrote. Nice Win coach. Now can anyone tell me what the ____ just happened???My ESPN gametracker showed DK with a 91 yard rush after the blocked FG. I guess that was a typo. haha funny thing is the guys at ESPN probably thought that was possible haha

I have to wonder who the 17 guests were reading this at the end of the game. No excuses for not joining =P

I can now say. Holy shit. Now I can breathe.

Clock Malfunction. Last play here. Watch the laterals.

Add two more points for the Zips. Alright defense you have 14 seconds to play defense.

TOUCHDOWN ZIPS!!! 14 SECONDS TO GO AND KENNEDY MAKES HIS 3RD TD IN THE GAME!!

here we go boys. there are NO excuses for not winning this game with a TD here. I think Hildreth deserves a game ball as well for nice awareness!

I can't answer that. HOLY SHIT SORRY FOR MY LANGUAGE BUT THE ZIPS GET A FIRST DOWN ON A BLOCKED FIELD GOAL!!!!!!!!!
