Any chance you'd be able to find a student attendance number for us? Just curious how many actually go and don't sit down low

Akron gets plenty of students at each game. they just don't sit together.

Updated as of last night's games. Added Oral Roberts since it is of interest now. edit: apparently the site doesn't update on Sundays so these are yesterday's rankings.

He's got a really good arm, runs the spread too which is awesome.

25 schollies times 120 or so 1-A teams? Well anyway, I hope you didn't read my post as anything against the kid. I'm excited to get someone that threw for 3700 yards in AAAA and was POY. He's also 6'4" , which surprised me...thought he may have lacked size which would lower interest. And apparently he has Ivy league smarts too. If it's all true, we got a hell of a player.

First football team on the moon!

In years past, our mental lapses would have caused us to lose to teams like NIU, EMU, BG, Toledo, etc...now they only cause teams to come close to us. We're okay, this team knows how to win.

Man some of you guys are miserable. I'll take a 7-1 record 11 times out of 10.

Hey if he can help us get out of the MAC, let's go!

Yeah okay. Put Tyrone or Aliquippa against Central Catholic, Gateway, TJ, etc (this is just Pittsburgh btw) and see what happens. Some great players have come out of AA schools, but the best schools are AAAA for obvious reasons.

Man, Can't State fan(s) must hate us lately. All this attention and winning must get annoying. Go Zips!

Yeah but, like, he shouldn't be in the "rough" ...3700 yards, thirty some TD's. PA State co-player of the year. AAAA, not Single A. It's not like he's the Wyoming player of the year. Doesn't even have a Rivals page? Does he have SARS or something? I'm glad we got him, his videos look great, I just don't understand the lack of recruiting for him.

I have a hard time believing the first team AAAA QB is walking on anywhere. Unless this kids got some issues.

Right but, if they only count tickets sold, wouldn't the Can't State game have been 5,500 announced attendance?

That's what happens when you use internet explorer..

This I agree with. The odds of us actually doing it are way lower than our at-large odds. If we win out, we're in. Probably isn't gonna happen, but I guess the opportunity is there.

ummm yeah it is. Here's a post from DiG on January 15th. "RPI is only one of many considerations for a team receiving an at-large invitation to the NCAA tournament. Below is the average percentage of teams from the 2006-2010 seasons for various ranges of RPI that received at-large invitations: RPI Range / % Teams Invited (2006-2010) 01-29 / 99% 30-39 / 80% 40-49 / 50% 50-59 / 37% 60-69 / 11%" When I said 80% and being in the 30's I swear to God I didn't read this first

i'd say about 4k

I'd say if we win out and lose the championship game, it's about a 80% chance...our RPI is already 59, and a win over ORU, one more over Can't State, OU, and Buffalo, along with a win over one of those in the conference semi's would most likely get us in the 30's of the RPI.

lol don't feed the troll

Have you ever heard of keith dambrot?

Oral Roberts > Iona.

Updated as of this minute. Interesting that our OOC RPI is 95. That means our RPI in conference has to be around 40 or better. Buffalo dropped I think 7 spots afetr beating NIU, which stinks that we still have to play them.

I guess I have a different definition of happy. 6+ wins will make me happy. 3-5 I'll understand and in no means will be disappointed or calling for TB's head, but I can't say I'd ever be "happy" with a losing season.

I think A-10, CAA, and MVC teams would be a great start, with a few big names, and a few tune ups as well. Also, I'm thinking GoZips will make his triumphant return to ZN in this thread to tell us how hard a job scheduling is and to go see Dan Peters if we'd like to help
