I hope he throws for 400 yards and loses just like he did against Toledo. So far Carder and his team have only figured out how to beat Nicholls State (whom I have never even heard of) and Ball State. We have GOT to be able to put some assemblance of a game plan together that can compete with that!?!?

Just attention, or for real? Bill Parise, Harrison's agent, confirmed that the linebacker is contemplating retirement, which is why he met with Tomlin this morning."That's exactly true,'' Parise said. "He met with the coach and left for today. He's in the process of contemplating is it possible to play football under these new rules . . . 'if I go to work and tackle somebody and get a fine.'" Parise said there is "no fighting, no arguing," just discussions. He said Harrison has been talking with his coaches, the Steelers, his mother and the agent. Harrison signed a six-year, $51.2 million contract in April 2009 that included a reported $20 million in bonuses. If Harrison would retire before the contract expires, the Steelers could demand he pay back some of those bonuses. Can anybody play ESPiN now-a-days?

Toledo beat him by picking him off FOUR times.. Time to step it up secondary!

You could of bought a photo of the hit on the NFL website if you were quick. According to NFL.com, Harrison is considering retiring now. "I'm going to sit down and have a serious conversation with my coach tomorrow and see if I can actually play by NFL rules and still be effective," Harrison said. "If not, I may have to give up playing football." source

Like Buck-A-Roo?

You forgot the Lake Erie Monster's coach, that guy wouldn't know a dump pass from a dump truck!

Mike Johnson gets Crabtree involved in the gameplan Your welcome Mike.

One week Plain Dealer quotes Browns players saying "it's there job to fly around and break up passes"...this week, not so. "I'd do it again" --TJ Ward (sounds pretty much like Harrison's quote)

Austin Baily.

Browns fans do it year in and year out, why can't Zips fans?

The Cribbs hit was legal, the Massaquoi hit will draw a fine. I think it was Jaws last night that was speaking about the Massaquoi hit, he said he was talking to someone and that person said the QB should be fined for that hit for leading him into the zone, he said he was half kidding. Jaws made the point that there are only about a handful of good QB's in the league right now that are good at recognizing defenses. He said that defenses are so sophisticated now a days that a lot of QB's can't determine man coverage from zone at the snap and end up leading their receivers into a big hit. Interesting perspective. KSPU basketball will get KO'ed this year. Like this little girl

On the positive side, I won't have to stay up late at night and watch Hawaii upset Michigan State at the end of the year to eliminate us.

+1, but I might give Matt a series or two to shake up the defense a little though.

"The first hit (on Cribbs, who was a runner) was legal," Greg Aiello told the Post-Gazette in an email this afternoon. "The second will be reviewed." NFL to review Harrison Hit

That is GREAT news, I hope what you saw transfers over to real games. I think a lot will go right for the Zips if this is true.

Without looking I'm pretty sure we beat KSPU at the hippie campus TWO years ago. Wasn't that the same year we won AT Army and Syracuse (Kenny rant)? Zips Win, if we win today, we may start kidnapping you on game day.

Thanks for the post, I love Sam Ragu. Just for reference, did he also say that Mangini can turn it around?

We have 6 games left , half of them at home, more than a month of practices, I'm not willing to accept a no win season yet. It would be an interesting line of questioning from one of the press to ask Rob in his weekly MAC phone conference, "Are you confident that you will get in the win column this year, what if you don't, can you call the season a failure? Did you think it would take a long time to get in the win column when you took the job, or did you expect more this season?" This line of questioning assumes we lose in Athens Saturday...which I hope we don't.

Many changes for Zips basketball team Of all the photos to use, Tom picks this one to start the season? Is he just being funny, intuitive, or just random? Damn, KD's not getting me very excited about this year. Can't wait to "make good strides", maybe the Rowdies can come up with a chant or something.

I avoid all Microsoft products like the plague when possible. My first piece of advice would be to try switching to Firefox as your browser. Use Zipsnation with that for a while and see if the problem persists, if it doesn't, Exploder, I mean Explorer is your problem. If it doesn't, something else is. A couple of quick searches on your issue: Cookies expiring? Cookies blocked? Add-ons blocked? This thread sounds like your issue. It was a server problem Anyone else having this issue, I'm not? Let us know.

I was hoping it was going to be this guy.

Another beautiful fall weather day for football 61 and sunny....AWAY! Can a Zips fan buy a break this year? 28-17 Kitties PS Every time I look at Johnny's avatar I laugh.

Honestly, I think I would like to see us win and start to play well. That's just me though. If your sole purpose to Akron football is to wait for a coach to be fired that we just hired, stop back in three years.

According to sportsbook.com, OU is favored by 17. Feel free to predict the outcome of the game below.
