While I can see multiple posters are very passionate about this FCS subject, can someone start a new thread on it so the topic doesn't "hi-jack" multiple threads?

How many showed up to watch the game? Where they all from Akron? You can also probably go back and look at the viewing audience for 2005 Motor City Bowl...or you can look at the viewing audience for current MAC bowl games. I think you would be surprised how many people watch a football bowl game when nothing else is on. Short answer, yes.

Someone that understands the real/only "stat!"

Not that this is the proper thread to discuss this, but I'm not seeing your correlation. By naming random area pro and minor league teams means that if the Zips move down a level they will be successful? Seems like you might be making a case against yourself. I've never even heard of the Stars or Caps??

I'm looking forward to the Beef 'O' Brady Bowl tomorrow. Reasons to Watch BSU vs CFU

Good point. The staff needs to help develop young talent so it translates on game days.

Glad he is working hard...for the Indians. If Tressel can help land Swisher that should really help the Zips out. At least there isn't photos all over the media of him wearing Columbus State garbage while doing it like last month.

How do you come to that conclusion?

Knowing no inside information. My guess is that the title is a reward for hard work and commitment. I would guess AJ has a lot of input from Sunday to Friday, but TB will still call the plays. Great question for TB. Sharing?

Why does it seem like only a handful understand this?

A lot of fans bought into the motto per the October Prediction Thread....some didn't.

For those in the area, and those that attend the Tournament at the Q. I had a nice stout at the See Saw Pretzel Shoppe at the Cavs game last week. Pretzels were pretty good too.

I blame GP1. GP1, can you predict that KD won't win another game this year, so we can start winning?

I took the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad down to Akron this fall, on the tour they referenced how the river fire effected Akron at the time. Sounded like a plight. Wiki

Pittsburgh ranked 10th CLEANEST city. Pittsburgh’s come a long way from its steel factory days. The city was voted the 10th cleanest city in the world by Forbes magazine on April 16, ranking it alongside such cities as Montreal, Vancouver, and Geneva. Cities that made the cut were noted for their democracy and industrialization, specifically recycling efforts, waste control, transportation infrastructure, and energy generation and regulation, according to the magazine. Most of the cities were from countries with relatively high purchasing power — proof that a country has to have money to invest in green practices and can only sustain such practices if they produce a profit.

Akron Comes in at #15!?!? 15. Akron, Oh. The Cuyahoga used to be famous as "The River That Burned" from all the petrochemicals that got dumped into it. Though the river has come back to life, groundwater contamination remains, as does air pollution carried here by coal-fired power plants. Sperling Air Quality Index: 20 Sperling Water Quality Index: 36 PS I like how there is a google ad on the page that advertises a hotel to stay in the city. 19. Cleveland, Oh. On the shores of Lake Erie, the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor metro area is home to 2 million people and a long history of heavy manufacturing that for decades pumped toxins into the air as well as the Cuyahoga River. These days, according to the EPA, the biggest toxic emitter is the ArcelorMittal metals plant. Sperling Air Quality Index: 29 Sperling Water Quality Index: 35

Source Rivals Big, strong kid who stays low off the ball and is effective in the run game. Gets under defenders' pads and is a good drive blocker. In pass protection, he needs to improve his technique, particularly his footwork. Overall speed and explosion work will help his game, but he is a naturally powerful kid who has pretty solid technique in the run game. - Allen Trieu

I'll take Gonzaga.

Do a search on bucknuts and I bet you'll come up with the "rumor"

Word was the wicker on their peach basket was loose. 1940!?!? How sad.

As a general trend, in the past decade, if Akron is favored (by more than 3) they win, if they are not (by less than 3), they lose. Not many, if any, upsets.

WatchESPN 360 Events on right side. It will also appear on Firstrow.

Stop wasting all of your good ideas on ZN, get over to EA sports immediately. They could market 'NCAA Football 2014' off of this idea.

In general I think the 2012 team would do better with the 2005 schedule (+1.5), and the 2005 team might not have did as well with the 2012 schedule(-1.5).
