ksu sucks

There were over 3,000 people in attendance for the exhibition game. Will the home opener sell out?

Happy for the players....and the progrum!

Nice catch. I wasn't aware he was born in OH.

What he said. That was a pic of all the Ohio born zips. So that would leave out Gladden and Bentancourt(as far as I can remember).

Thanks for the heads up. Already planning my trip.

I agree, ESPN 3 is great. If the game isn't on national television then ESPN 3 is a great alternative. It's even more useful during basketball season because, well you know, the games are actually meaningful...

Let's be honest, a win over ULL would have hardly excited Joe Akron. It's going to take a bowl season before we see anything near 20,000 in the stands again.

I have no clue which zips team will show up tonight, so no prediction. But I have a good feeling! Go zips!

A bunch of NC State and Carolina fans were talking about it. Probably only because they knew I went to Akron, but whatever. Oh, and in case anyone was wondering...yes, State fans distinctly remember the upset in '05(?).

I liked the Z on the helmet.

Twitter is blowing up.

Random thoughts: Win or lose, this is entertaining. The Akron defense deserves a lot of credit. March has impressed me two games in a row. Coach Bowden is going to be kicking himself over that delay of game penalty. I don't know how they let that happen.

UA's perspective This is a good point, and if the University is serious about improving the student body then they should get serious about improving the faculty as well. Almost all of my engineering classes were taught by full time professors. In some rare cases intro classes were taught by graduate students. Based on my experience in other departments this was the case for most science and math classes as well. From what I understand this is similar to what goes on at most ACC schools. So it seems like the University really needs to focus on improving the quality of certain non STEM department faculty. Those are the departments that are too dependent upon part time faculty. For the record, I'm completely on board with the University's decision to value quality over quantity.

I'm surprised that everyone is so high on Toledo. They didn't impress me much last season. I expect them to be contenders but I didn't expect them to be preseason favorites.

Obviously sour grapes. I don't think any less of their program though. Imagine if we were that close to beating a crappy BCS team. There would be a lot of people on these forums making the same moronic complaints. It's part of the game. This is the same situation on a different level. Go zips!

A win is a win! I'm not sure how many games we can win this season but this team showed heart tonight. You can tell they are buying what Bowden is selling. I think we will grab a couple more W's before the season is over. Go zips!

Gameday! HDMI cables make being a zips fan much easier. Looking forward to watching the game tonight on my 42" screen.

I don't know why, but I've had a good feeling about zips football in general lately. Kincade's commitment certainly adds to that feeling. Go zips.

Great news.

Yeah, I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that UA has accepted a large number of black students who weren't prepared for college academics in the first place.

Pretty much. For whatever reason, prospective students and their parents put a lot of weight into the graduation rates when comparing schools. The implicit assumption is that the quality of the university dictates the success of the students. In fact, the opposite is true. Apparently it never occurred to anyone that some schools have a higher success rate because they attract a more successful student. For a while it seemed as if Proenza was sort of burying his head into the sand on this topic (perhaps the allure of attracting minority students and...ahem...the federal funds that come with certain demographics was too appealing to pass up) but he seems to have seen the light(see recent undergrad admissions requirements upgrade). I'm sure recent changes to the state funding mechanism have been an impetus to that change. At any rate,I'm of the seemingly radical opinion (at least around here) that a higher admissions standard is the sensible thing to do. If that means UA won't see Proenza's projected 40000 student enrollment within the next decade then so be it. Quality over quantity. Although UA is a public institution so it may be hard for the suits in Buchtel hall to pass up the 'rewards' which increased quantity brings.

The Lockview and Diamond Deli for sure. Although The Diamond Deli feels more like a college restaurant. Manny's and Eurogyro are UA staples. BTW...nice to see another Zip on Reddit.

So Saturday, December 28th in Columbia? I'm there.

Because shticks sell[especially in pop/rap music].

A semi-relevant rapper[who's shtick is admittedly kind of cheesy] with a strong NE Ohio following(he's from Shaker Heights). He was another 'artist' who got famous online before he got a record deal. His concert was part of UA's "stage door series". It's essentially a backstage concert. Wait, you mean to tell me that 20 year olds aren't interested in listening to the Summit Choral Society perform G.F Handel's messiah?
