This is the basically the audio to the robocall last night. There is going to some sort of weather in NEO in late November. For the rest of your life. If that's your excuse, you weren't going in the first place. It's going to be 45 degrees and cloudy with a chance of light rain? That sounds like one of the better forecasts I've seen for a late November game. Good news, it will be 70 degrees and dry on December 2nd for those Zips fans that can't watch your team win the MAC east in 45 degree weather.

I like this summary of what the Zips are doing right: "It’s converting more third down plays than anyone in the MAC, it’s not turning the ball over, and it’s able to come up with just enough late stops to survive." 15 point favorite surprises me a little. Odds Shark predicts a 31-13 Zips victory.

Noted. ??

Better be right @Hilltopper, I’m basing my TFT picks on this educated guess! ???

Did anybody figure out Rourke's pre-snap hand signals? He would extend both arms and either give one finger, two fingers, or shake both hands.

1) I think you "skipped" over Groce's biggest achievements in 2012.

If one wanted to compare Groce and KD, I think the 2012 season would be a good start. If you were concerned with results instead of stats.

MTB will be back next year. He is excited about it, and has a great attitude. He is at every game cheering on his teammates. Check out the sideline huddles during timeouts, you will notice him.

I'm concerned about Coney's status for the game after seeing him in an arm sling Tuesday night. He got hurt on the TD pass in the first half. He was able to celebrate with his team afterwards, so that's a good sign.

They are honoring seniors, and he is a senior. I'm sure that fact will be considered. If it were me, I would play both. Wouldn't it be interesting to see Woodson, Nelson and Bollas all throw for 190 yards with a Zips blow out? Prior to the home finale with Kent State, Akron will honor the 24 members of its Senior Class– RB Warren Ball, WR Fransohn Bickley, LS Michael Buddenberg, DL Ibrahima Camara, WR Tra'Von Chapman, WR A.J. Coney, OL Stephen Ericksen, OL LaVonne Gauthney, P/K Zach Gingerich, WR Kevin Gladney, LS Hayden Grover, S Zach Guiser, LB Andrew Hauser, CB Mikee Hayes, LB Tony Jones, DE Michael Kish, OL Jovann Letuli, OL Cedric McCoy, DE Deon'Tae Moore, RB Manny Morgan, OL Xavier Quigley, WR Austin Wolf, QB Thomas Woodson, and WR Anthony Young.

It's possible both may play, so naming a starter may prove to be inconsequential. I could understand a coaches thinking if he where to start the senior against his rival, but also give time to the freshman phenom.

Discuss answers below.

I'll go out on a limb and suggest, the effectiveness of Kent's defense will not hinge on knowing, or not knowing, the starting QB for Akron.

If it were on Wednesday night, yes, that would be great. Most are off on Thursday, and typically many go out the night before Thanksgiving. I assume most have to work Wednesday. Last Tuesday I worked 8 hours, drove 40 minutes to the game, photographed game, drove home, developed photography, uploaded to site at 1:30, bed by 2 am, up at 6 am to work another 8 hour day. It will be the same this Tuesday. I don't blame anybody for not going to a Tuesday night game. I hope we pack the stadium for Kent, but I expect the same as last week, or less.

Telling thread. Some predictions are impressive. I know I heard a lot of players comment about the 4th place finish prediction last night. That prediction seemed to stick with them, and motivate. ???

Bowden made a comment during the presser last night (almost out of his way), to state that KN1 was a gamer. You can read into that, if you wanted to. Nice to have a decision between two QB's that have had success at the end of the season, rather than our situation at the end of last season. I have a feeling that whatever QB plays, is going to be without one of our leading receivers next week.
