After watching Michigan play UConn last night, I doubt that Michigan is really a top 25 team My read on the Michigan game is it was a combination of Michigan not as good as everyone thought they were, and Akron being a lot better than we thought they were. I don't want to diminish what our men did going into that stadium and taking on a top 15 team. To play even a top 40 or 50 team that strong is a remarkable improvement over the teams we had before. As heartbraking as these losses have been, they have exceeded my expectations.

Louisiana won a bowl game last year. I don't know why anybody who claims to know college football would look down on them or be embarrassed by losing to them. They came in ranked higher than Ball State and Ohio. And K.e.n.t. That said, Akron was very much in this game but lost it themselves. The first quarter was an abortion. NO EXCUSE. Pohl overthrew way too many passes, The play calling was horrid, when a play didn't work, we went right back to it again. The defense acted like they had never seen a QB tuck and run before.But, we were still in the game until the end. Against a team the same quality as Ball State and Ohio. It doesn't get any easier. The next three games are also against teams that went to bowl games last year. And we can be in them too, IF we remember the game starts at the beginning of the FIRST quarter, not the second quarter. If KP can throw passes to receivers, not over them. And IF the playcalling on offense improves. If they can get one or two of those areas straight, I see us beating Miami, K.e.n.t, and UMass. Four wins. We haven't done that since 2007. If they can get it all together, we might sniff .500. That is a very very big IF.

What was it for then?

Oh, it can get worse. He got benched for Brian Hoyer.

This might move the needle a little in the Akron area. If the Buckeyes went through a long period like the Browns have would move the needle if the Zips were winning. Side note: I agree with Tony. And the rant on Munch was priceless.

A 3D rendition of the new Rubber Bowl... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/linumwu1pwb83w5/...:null-model.avi Well, one thing was accurate, the number of fans there.

Google Maps is blowing up with people all over the country looking to see where Akron is.

MACtion is trending...

I dunno guys. If I was Terry, Milwee would be walking home. And when he got back his shit would be in a trash bag next to his car.

I had FaceBook friends telling me they were moving their cars off of Akron streets. LOL. One said if Akron wins he's flipping his own car. Biggest football game in Zips history?

DAMN that was close...

Whoomp There it is!!!

Hello MeatChicken, meet Justin Marsh. Four TO's!!!

That was fun.But it looks like they wore down our D. Holy shit, we just led the #11 team in the country in the second half!!!!

Didn't JD fire his recruiting coordinator because of recruiting violations?

Wait... Santonio can't read???

First class, all the way.

So How Bout them (Okie State) Cowboys???

"And the hits just keep on coming..."

It's Oklahoma State and our old pal, Les Miles. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-f...e-part-1-money/ The more I hear about this one, the worse it gets. Ohhh, this one is gingto take several issues of SI to tell it all. And the more I don't want Akron to try to be big and act like these hooligans.

Another OT post that kind of goes along with soccer credibility. Did you guys see the crowd at Columbus Crew stadium last night? Holy crap, as fast as that sold out, it's too bad Cleveland didn't get the Mexico game instead, we would have sold CBS out (something the Browns rarely do LOL).

The fight song hasn't changed in about a hundred years. I'm not a fan of the wholesale uniform changes other schools have done, like the day glow colors and trendy patterns. It sounds just like the newbs who want to change the Cleveland Browns colors and add a stupid logo to the helmets. You don't see the New York Yankees going 70's Houston Astros noise or the Chicago Bears going Jacksonville Gag-uars garb. Some teams see the class in heritage. I do like alternate throwback jerseys (except the Steelers, those things make me throw up, not back). That would be cool. And give the people who want an A on the helmet something to look forward to. But I'd rather they not screw with any of it, and put the money toward recruiting...

Back on the winning end!!!

Agreed. It's only an identity crisis for people who don't give a rats ass about the heritage and tradition of their school.
