28-13 Zips win.Defense comes up big.

File this right next to the firejopa site that was up at the beginning of last year...remember that?Buy firetressel.com so when they get beat by Akron next year you will own it.Hopefully Akron is the cause of a lot of these sites in the future.

That's great Your right, in my mind, our chances improved

Don't forget to wear your hat to the game too!

After PSU and NC State we are #43 in the nation in defense I would HOPE (and doubt) we give up 42 points this year to any team left on the schedule.

Thanks for the video Balki, I wanted to see that again. That run by Luke running up the middle with four defenders closing in on him with seconds left on the clock...C-LUTCH!!!Does anybody realize that it doesn't matter if you think he was in or out, he was in, I'm sure of it because they gave him 6 points for it. That will NEVER change. University of Akron 20, North Carolina State 17

Yes. I emailed him this morning. I'll post when he replys.

I can't remember, is this the same writer that wrote we should not be playing these "big" schools?...we would get beat up so we should be playing YSU instead? I can't remember....hmmm

Where is Army on this!?! They couldn't even cover against Can't at home! Spoiled a huge parlay for me this week :wall:PS Isn't putting NCST on there a little disrespectful to us?

Dr. Z, can you post the email address of that executive you're in contact with?I think that if he receeives a whole bunch o emails, they will work harder to get the game on TV.He requested that I didn't. He knows it is wanted.

Today's update (Tuesday).Email from exec at Time Warner:We are working right now to try and obtain the game. I will keep you posted.So it seems that the University wants it, Time Warner wants it, seems to be in their hands now.Not much more "you" or I can do. We will just wait for the big announcement...

5 years ago when I lived in Akron I used to watch Sports Beat with Steve French every Monday on the CAT channels 29 akron, 35 cleveland I have since moved 15 miles out of the area, which ruined reception (believe it or not). I put up a newantenna to pick up the free OTA HD stuff and realized I can pick up the CAT again (barely). The show comes on Monday's at 6:00 pm and is an hour call in show after he is done going over what he has to say. He doesn't promote Akron sportsreal hard on his own, but if you call in and ask an Akron question he will answer it very well.I'm posting this for the new people on the board, I know a lot of you already know about the show.Here is a short overview of Zips related stuff covered last night:Just about every call last night was a Zips related call. Many fans congratulating Steve on the victory.A YSU fan thinks the Zips will play home and away with YSU. French said no way in he11Zips are playing away at a 1AA team. Says the Zips have one open home game next year they are looking to fill.Elton Alexander is a dope for saying that NC State is the doormat of the ACC. Explained all their bowl games and record against FSU.NCAA is NOT going to kick any division I team out for attendance issues.Everyone should be proud to be a Zips fan. He is starting to see a lot of Zips stuff.He was somewhere after the game and talked to a bunch of OSU fans and they said they watched the end and rooted for the Zips.He made this odd comment “Let’s all stick together on this people” (Like he has been reading the BS OSU stuff on Zipsnation)He showed the 107 page program from the game. Talked about how nice the stadium was and the practice facility. Talked about the 91 million they put into it and how they are a major major program and what a good job the Zips did upsetting them.He said he isn’t afraid to tell people that he announces for the Zips now (and laughed).Talked about how the Zips are only losing 3 seniors on defense and 4 or 5 on offense and the machine will roll for awhile in Akron.Point being, if you are a Zips fan and are dying for some media about the Zips, the show is worth putting your rabbit ears up for.If you ever have the chance to meet him, you should, he is a nice dude and loves to talk sports, especially Zips PS He mentioned he got some new glasses.

Here is an update (Monday):Email from Hunter:Currently we are working with the staff at Comcast to broadcast the CMU-Akron game in the Akron/Cleveland market. The only thing that I can tell you is that the door is still open, but we are working on a tight time frame to make this happen. If this does not happen, the Mid-American Conference website; www.mac-sports.com, will be streaming the game live through the XOS video feed at the stadium.

Just a thought. What a good year to have a 16 yard punt.Can you imagine how quick a 16 yard punt would end up in a td 4 years ago?Now if this happens we always have a chance to hold them to 3 or no points.My hats off to the defensive staff and the defensive players. Nice work guys.It is soooooo fun to root for a team with a defense. You are always in a game with a D.Keep it down the middle, long and straight

Superman on KNR at 3:40 pm today if anybody is interested.Is the host smart enough to ask him about the Zips big win?

click here for info, I'm not positive what COMLOC meansGet on board Akron media. Wake up!How about a rebroadcast of NCST game?This is an email from WKYC We will have coverage of the Zips in tonight’s 6:30 pm newscast. Thanks for writing. Chris HyserExecutive ProducerAkron-Canton NewsAlso from Chris on the best chance of seeing the game:You can try Bill Jasso, at Time Warner Cable. His e-mail address is bjasso@neo.rr.com Chris

24. Akron 55.229. Penn State 58.9

Didn't the last drive start with a minute and seven seconds?

Watch him run routes when you get to sit in the Rubber Bowl. He runs every route crisp.The first time I saw him at PSU, it was obvious to me that he will be a star.I have been told he has great hands too.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I'm really sick of his last minute drives to win the MAC championship game,and now beating a BCS team on another last minute drive. We have to get rid of him quick. Maybe we can get a transfer from Can't or something.

I wore my Zips jersey to a Browns tailgate party today.Everybody was coming over saying that they saw the game yesterday, and how good it was. A lot of people yelling out "Go Zips"In comparison, I wore the same jersey last year to a game.Tons of fans yelling "Rams suck" "what the heck are you wearing that jersey for""is that a canadian team" and the classy "a-hole" chant (although I still got one of those today) Most fans last year didn't even know where Frye played.It is starting to turn. Hope it pays off in attendance.

Yes, he is a soldier, those defenders are mere football players.Frye will have better days than he did today. He was not good today.Will Browns have a high pick next year? I wonder what position they address? They got outcoached today. Their game plan sucked eggs.I'm not making an excuse for Frye, but my game plan would have been different to help out the QB.

I believe concept is the same, just called something different. It's also called the 3-3 stack.JoPa views on the D

I just spoke to the manager at Damons (Steels Pointe) she told me she will have the game on.The dude I get on the phone before I spoke to the manager.Me: "Do you guys have ESPNU?"Him: "Yes we do"Me: "Will you have the Akron game on Saturday at noon?"Him: "Ummmmmm it depends if there are any big games on at the same time"Me: "Akron is the only big game on Saturday."Him: "Weeeeellll probably, well maybe since it is sorta local."Me: "Sorta local???? Name something MORE local"Him: "Oh yeah"Me: "Is your manager there?"
