All times TBD. Back to back Ken+ games in March are going to be brutal.

"Arriba! Arriba! Andale! Andale!"

Most enjoyable page I have read about the game yet.

To answer my own question...nope. If you get cut by the Bungles, is that it?

If OSU runs the same offense as us (according to an above post), can we run the underneath crossing pass routes that they run? They were very successful underneath. I don't remember us running any of that. Maybe the QB never took that option. I actually think our secondary looked good at times on the down field coverage stuff.

Nice article. You guys are not taking in to consideration the bonus that Hyde gets for his 100 yards. I thought it was a stupid comment by whoever (Myer I think) said "it would be nice to get Hyde 100 yards" I really bet the fact that he didn't get it, cripples his career in Columbus. That extra 7 yards would have really been something for him and his offensive line. You are also not considering the people that bet the over, because I think Fickell's uncle did. ;-)

Good points. That picks me up a little. Thanks. My first instinct is to say that Chisholm will be "more" successful, but we'll see.

Everybody should be able to make a ton of money than. We are only 14 point underdogs.

It took us 5 threads about uniforms, but I think we finally have a winner. Nice work whoever did it. Next we should come up with an offensive playbook that can win us some games to with the uniforms.

If the Zips get run out of the stadium Saturday, and it could very well happen, they won't win more than three games this season. I'll keep an open mind on the rest of the season until Sunday and then we can all start talking about some hard predictions for the season. GP....this could certainly be where we are headed. But the BIG QUESTION will be........Do we regard that as "progress", or will we still feel as if we are failing just as equally as we were if we had only won a game or two? I already see progress from last year, even in that Columbus blowout. BUT what is our ceiling with this offense? Can we ever win the mac running this predictable offense? I sure hope LR8 looks better this Saturday, I know a lot of posters were happy about the switch at QB, I was holding my breath and hoping. Like everybody is writing, Saturday will tell us what kind of season we are in for. At the very least, I feel like I am in for a nice financial season predicting the outcomes of each game. I'm off to a good start.

I agree. I was originally planning a Cincy trip, but after I saw that Cincy score yesterday, I would rather dig stumps out of my back yard and listen to French tell the tale. I'll add this, the style of offense that we ran yesterday would have worked if we were the better team. We are not, we have to use some game day planning to help our team be successful.

I think Columbus was bigger, faster, more talented. They also executed plays better on Saturday.

Columbus is dominating both sides of the line. Story of the game. I could have QB'ed today for Columbus.

Bad use of time outs by Fickell, or Finkel. Good to see other first time coaches making dumb mistakes. Too bad we can't get a receiver open to make him pay, although 15 seems like he doesn't need to be open to come down with the ball. I'll try to be positive...our special teams look better this year. So far my favorite comment of the game, "since all scoring plays are reviewed in the NFL, Tressel won't have much to do on Sundays"

Is this the first time you guys have watched an Akron Osu game?

Nice special teams play (punt). Wow, I can't believe I typed that.

All the practice on creating turn overs on the videos we watched is paying off early. Nice play.

Kind of makes me wonder whether or not Roger Goodell will suspend Tressel for the first five games of the season like he did Pryor... True. The thing that rubs me the wrong way, is that Jim has never really come out an apologized for what he did. I'm not talking about that sham pseudo-apology. He doesn't seem sorry for what he did, or even act like he was wrong. It makes me think that he doesn't believe what he did was wrong. I can forgive anyone, as long as they acknowledge what they did, why it was wrong, and show remorse for what they did. If what he is doing is some suggestion of some lawyer or something, than he is getting bad advice. He still walks around with an arrogance like he is christ-like. His disciple disgust me as well. IF for so some dumb reason, this University was ignorant enough to hire him, I would probably stop being a fan.

Now, more than EVER, I want the Zips to win just so you can put that up at EVERY tailgate this year!

History suggests otherwise.

Here you go. Let us know how much you are wagering. You get 34 points. Line has moved to 32. Over/Under is now 46.5. Edit: Just changed again...31.5. 100% of the action on sportsbook.com is on the over. Edit 2: Only 70% of the money is now on the over at sportsbook.com. 73% of the money is on OSU to cover.

Keep voting. Ut oh, I think the PD caught on to us.

Nailed it!

Most people vote that the "Zips pull out the upset" (poll on PD)

I think I see what you mean.
