I convinced my family to get a family pack of tickets this year, for the first time ever. They bought it last week, and we were informed that we would be receiving a free stadium blanket. That's great for me and my family, but then I realized that means that less than 1500 season ticket packages have been sold up to last week.

Don't we have a third kicker on the team? What was his name... Andy Hildreth? He is supposed to be a sophomore this season. What happened to him? We could really use him right now.

Holy Crap. :blink:That is terrible news. At least no one was killed. I wonder why someone would bring a loaded gun to a dance and proceed to raise hell?

HARVEY TD!!!!

Hurray for elevator music!

That's it! I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to protest outside of the TWC office on Brittain Road by the Mall.

What the hell is Time Warner doing? I just turned on the TV to watch the game, and instead of football, there is some effeminate guy selling jewlry! They promised we would have the game, but they are showing infomercials!

Awesome! Now I know for sure we can win. Hopefully some of our players recognise the defense he uses and proceed to tear it to shreds.

Another !@#$%^& away game?! OK, now that the shock has worn off, I want to try to offer an explanation for all of those away games. First, no one wants to go to the JAR. Our record there is too good and good teams are afraid to get beat. Second, the scheduling we had earlier has completely gone to hell, and we have been left scrambling to find a way to fill up our schedule. Third, why don't we fill those empty slots with home games? because last year the RPI system was changed to make wins away count more than wins at home. I believe wins at home are worth 0.8 wins and wins away are worth 1.2 wins. Conversely, losses away count as .8 losses and losses at home count as 1.2 losses. Basically, the more away games you win on your schedule, the better your RPI becomes. It is very smart to schedule many away games against decent teams we have a good chance of beating at their place. Should we screw up in the MAC tournament, all of those away games we have won will make our RPI look better when it comes time to select teams for the NCAA tournament.

Excellent! Zips win a game wothout going into OT. Good work. Sinisa, you should be on team USA!

Woohoo!

SI.com power poll rankings of MAC teams.#47 Akron#52 Ohio#73 Toledo#76 Bowling Green#80 Northern Illinois#89 Miami OH#91 Central Michigan#92 Western Michigan#102 Ball State#109 Buffalo#113 Can't State#117 Eastern Michigan#119 TempleThe rest of the Schedule:#84 Cincinnati#93 North TexasLooks like they expect us to win out.

http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/15497907.htm Looks like they finally got it right.

How do you suggest we keep winning enough to get coverage before the game at CMU next week?

That bus needs a makeover, if you know what I mean. Someone should find out where they keep it at night.

Crap. James Laurinaitis of OSU won. Both of those guys must've agreed on him.

Lets keep voting then.

This guy looks like a good pickup for Akron, and his brother does as well.

It should be published sometime today. I can't wait!

If we stop voting, there is no doubt in my mind that Kennedy will lose to either the guy from Boise St. or that Laryngitis guy from OSU. They are tied, and only 2% behind Kennedy. This may be our only chance (hopefully not) to have a Player of the Week in USA Today.

If you are using firefox, the trick is to scroll to the top of the page before you refresh. at least that's what works for me.

Vote Here!He is up to 26%, behind only James Laurinaitis who has 37%

Awesome, just awesome!

Going back to the whole May Day thing...And before you ask, yes this was at Akron.

Did anyone else notice the Ref's accent? It was obvious he was from New Orleans, or somewhere where they speak creole.
