Which schedule do you think coach Bowden would have preferred his team to play this (or next) year?

Testify g-mann!!

Most of the time MAC teams are playing away against L10 teams. Home field advantage is a pretty big deal in football.

I did the same. I love the posters that think they know stuff because of what someone told them (general statement, not specific to anyone). I remember how lost the program was at that time. AGAIN, thank you coach Bowden for pulling us out of the pit of he#*.

That thought crossed my mind as the tv camera caught his clueless stare in the 4th quarter. At least 12 Zip fans wanted him as our coach!?!? I'm waiting for some pundit to use Akron/Michigan -- Columbus/Michigan as a case for a one loss SEC team to play in the title game. ....OR a Zips fan to make a case for the Zips.

Ticket guys did a nice job informing us that our section was closed. The section right next to it was open. The view was similar.

One thing I didn't see mentioned. Hopefully we learned something for next season. Toledo did an excellent job catching Akron in defensive substitutions. Many times yesterday Akron defenders weren't in position, didn't know the play, or weren't even facing the line of scrimmage after substituting in. Is it necessary to substitute after every play defensively? Overall this season, great job by coach Amato and his staff turning our defense around. I hope we only get better and better. Good luck recruiting!

Let me know when it happens, I'll help set you up. I enjoy reading your (and others) analysis when your at the game. I wish we had more that attend games post opinions. That's when I enjoy ZN the most. Funny, I cancelled my trip to NC because of the crappy weather there and ended up at the game. Best advice I ever got skiing in Aspen...buy one good pair of wool socks.

You were at the game and didn't stop by lot 9? That carry angered me (not his first this season), and it would have been his last carry of the day. Probably the wrong move for the future, but that's how I roll. I hope we can upgrade this position next year. While I think Kyle managed his best game yesterday, I am only cautiously optimistic after one complete game. He is still a work in progress in my mind. I hope he puts in some hard work over the offseason. Example of a one game analysis of QB play Very true. I'll go with the fake punt. I agree, many aggressive, well executed plays yesterday. Staff had the team well prepared, great to see. Makes for a more enjoyable offseason. Especially on ZN.org.

I saw the same thing. I hope someone captured that with a quality photo. That scene was one of my highlights of the day. In my mind, it showed me how much they care about the program. I enjoyed seeing the raw emotion. That's the kind of stuff you hope that carries over with the team. You want the kids to have fun while they are working hard. I agree with you, great weather (for one game a year like that).

I suspect as many times as coach has used the word "manage" when describing Kyle's game recently, the staff has worked with him on it. Best complete game he has played. Thanks for the hard work. Keep it up. Here is a replay of the last play that put the UT coach in a tizzy.

Removing the snow for tomorrow

Oh, I didn't notice

George It’s just an exhibition game, but fans will likely see which changes, if any, coach Keith Dambrot made to his lineup. The Zips guard play hasn’t been up to snuff in their first three games this year. Point guard Nyles Evans started against MTSU, Carmelo Betancourt the prior two games…The Zips are 5-0 in these exhibitions against Malone PS Who do we blame for this schedule?...Please save me the "nobody wants to play the Zips" line. PSS Is the Zips home basketball schedule more accurate at predicting snow storms than the farmers almanac?

If we can celebrate wins over a bunch of crappy mac basketball teams, why can't we do the same with crappy mac football teams? The answer to your question is, both. Akron football fans can be hopeful for next season. Beating Toledo would go a long way in the offseason. Columbus State losing by more than four to UM would be an even bigger boost for this Zips fan. Unfortunately, I think Akron had a better chance of beating UM, than UM has of beating CS. Agreed. I'm in!

App State 2016 & 2017 Appalachian State University football has secured a third home-and-home series versus an NCAA Division I FBS opponent with an agreement to play Akron in 2016 and ‘17, the schools announced on Monday. Appalachian State will travel to Akron’s InfoCision Stadium on Sept. 24, 2016 with the Zips making a return trip to Kidd Brewer Stadium on Sept. 16, 2017.

UFL Hartford Colonials, EMU, whats the difference? A 71 year old, who thinks the game hasn't change much from 1974?!?! At least the Zips will sell one more ticket (Elvis) when EMU comes to Info.

I believe one of the Browns recent successful plays is adaptable to the Zips offense. The Browns use it to get Gordon one on one quickly down the sideline, I think this plays goes to Fransohn Bickley in the Zips offense. Once again, I think this takes advantage of one of KP16 strengths (accurate sideline pass). PS If your watching the Cle\Pit game today, watch for it. The Steelers will not defend this the way it is drawn up here, but not the point. 112413 Gun twins left strong right Z wheel (Bickley would be #12)

If you bet a taco through KDs career at Akron OOC ATS you would not be hungry.

I'm pretty sure thats why they invented the saying "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile"?

Sorry, yes, anytime a foot touches a ball. I'm in the middle of creating a firmware update for popular DVRs to take care of this automatically. I'm going to market with it spring of next year. My programmer is having an issue when a ball is fumbled and somebody accidentally kicks it.

Try this one time. DVR a football game, NFL, college, doesn't matter. Wait an hour and a half after the game starts. Start watching game. Fast forward through commercials, kick offs, punts, field goals and instant replays. Your in for a nice two hours of football!
