This post could be made every year at the end of December

I was really curious to see what the heck was going on in this post at this point

Line was 5. They must not be too terrible

the MTSU home and home was great, wonder why that went away

Why the heck would we want to play there anyway?

I think if they succeed over a period of time they'd probably want to join the big boys. I'm thinking YSU fans were kicking themselves when they saw Marshall on the verge of a New Year's day bowl a couple years ago

This isn't an Akron problem

We did, and we won

How many of those are from mid-majors? Heck how many of them are from outside of the top 10 or so blue blood schools? There are about 0 going to schools not named Bama, OSU, Tennessee, USC, Florida, etc that are good enough to step right in and succeed

That would be okay with me

Man would a Zags/Zips home and home be awesome

wow

Jenkins was unreal last night

I can't really get upset about losing at the #8 team's place across the country. That said it'd be nice to break through and win one of these sometime. We're obviously due since we're such poison

Skip enjoys comparing apples to oranges

Preseason rankings are dumb for a multitude of reasons. Teams were getting credit for wins over highly ranked teams like ND and Ole Miss for a few weeks who turned out to be duds.

That's kind of what I'm wondering. I love that TB has the State of Akron on lock, if you will. But is there that much talent in Akron to offer all these kids? Honest question, I'm an hour away and don't know much about OH high school football except what's right across the border from me.

Speaking of 07. Worst moment ever? Al. Fisher. The couple minutes leading up to that however were the loudest I've heard the JAR.

That was so much more fun than beating Western Tennessee Tech by 40. I was pretty encouraged by the showing. If we hit a few more shots, or if Creighton didn't go in that crazy run, who knows. But those things happened. Point is we aren't that far off. I really liked the way we fought back when we went down 20 instead of folding and chucking up dumb shots, I think that's a really good sign of this team's heart. Pumped to watch them play Gonzaga!

Maybe not the greatest moment, but my favorite was Zeke Marshall swatting a KSU player into next year to clinch the MAC championship game. My Zips fandom only goes back to 2007, so perhaps others can share pre-2007 moments. There's a clip floating around youtube of it somewhere.

Jatavis was small. Jerome has NFL size.. He will be drafted. Bummed he won't be a Zip next year but good for him. The more Zips in the pros, the better for us.

I think the reason we are where we are is because there wasn't much student engagement the last 20 years or so, and thus not many new fans. UA needs to figure out how to get students to games and enjoy them. I can't for the life of me figure out why someone wouldn't want to go watch us play Adrian or Radford

Sure

I think there's a lot of room between messiah and inept that your hyperbole isn't accounting for

This doesn't have anything to do with Akron actually
