  1. 2017 Bowl Watch

    in Akron Zips Football

    Posted

    I fear playing in the Bahamas Bowl because I'll be in Miami that day. The logistics would be tempting, but more than epic.

     

    I would have to catch a bus in Miami to the train station at 6 am, take the train to Fort Lauderdale, take a three hour boat "shuttle" to the Bahamas arrive near 11 am, find my way to the stadium, more than likely have to leave by 4:30 pm to catch the three hour boat back to Fort Lauderdale. Take the 40 minute train ride back to Miami, and take a bus back to my condo by, oh, I would guess 11:30 pm. ?

     

    Just win the MAC please.

    All right @Matt Almond are you behind this Ghost product placement from my new favorite rookie? If so, well done. ?

     

    My first suspicion is, who takes a photo (with flash) with their bike like this? But the more I learn about JuJu, he might have done this before his bike was "stolen." 

     

     

    And now the GHOST bike will appear on the NFL channel. Well played. :bow:

     

     

    Edit: Ah, come on man! ?

    Funny how the Zip fan base finds 7-5 acceptable in football, yet that winning percentage in basketball would make them lose their minds.  

    One reason is competition level. The football team faces a lot of NFL talent. The basketball team hasn't had this issue since the 90's. 

     

    PS Toledo favored by 26 points Thursday.

    Makes me wonder if there is an "Ignore" tool.  I've got a few that I would like to put on an Ignore List. 

    Hover over the user you want to ignore, and select.

    I'm pretty sure Matt is a marketing guy, and doesn't deserve to be attacked. 

     

    Interesting listen:

     

     

    I didn't know the jersey pants and helmets are NFL property, the rest of what a player wears (gloves, shoes, etc) is theirs and can be negotiated.

    unless they got stupid drunk, I don't think that was a factor.

    The Zips staying an hour and half away, and having to drive back and forth was probably a bigger factor. Just working out all the logistics of an extended night would have been an easy excuse for lackadaisical play. Good for them for overcoming. I thought it was a funny comment that coach Bowden made in his show, "just getting chicken for 100 guys was hard enough."

    I'm talking about the OU game

    Got ya. Disregard my comments then. I'll evaluate the OU game in a month, that one is a long ways away. Too much can happen between now and then. Hopefully the Zips have seven wins, and that game won't be a "have to win" game.

    Toledo is 83rd in the nation against the run, giving up 175 yards per game. Akron will need to run the ball effectively, like they did against BG to limit Toledo's offensive possessions. I wonder if Kato will be able to provide a series or two this week, or is he still banged up? Will Deltron get a few carries this week? Will we see more 12, and 22 personnel? 

     

    Odd, Toledo only has 6 sacks this year. Lowest in the conference. :wacko:

    Bowl or no bowl, this game decides whether TB gets extended or fired.

    I'll guess it will be the state of the progrum, not one game, either way. I think the players will have more to do with the outcome of the Toledo game. If the Zips make it to Detroit for only the second time in school history, I wouldn't put too much money on anybody getting "fired." Even if we get beat being a 16 point underdog Saturday.

    I just don't see us having the offensive fire power to keep up with Toledo, as it seems the only way to beat them is in a shootout. They've got the MACs best QB, WR Corp (even with Thompson out), and a very good RB in Swanson.

    Iv'e watched enough football in my life to know that no matter how awesome a team's offense looks, there is always a defense to make them look pedestrian. Let's hope that's what happens to Toledo's offense Saturday. No backup, I want to beat Woodside. I want to see him go against our secondary. Talent vs talent. I'm sure the Zips secondary is pumped to face him.
