I still think worst play in football history is going for 2 to win! But, I am bitter!

This makes me sad. He was my favorite player to watch the last 2 years.

Buffalo lost to BGSUcks by 1. I dont see this game as an easy win at all. Anytime you play on the road anything can happen. I love my Zips, but I'm not feeling so confident this time around.

Not one student ever dreams of growing up and going to Akron. Most survey the landscape and decide Akron is acceptable-- mainly for economical reasons. You are wrong on this point. I grew up going to the Rubber Bowl with my dad and to this day I still savor those fall nights (when they actually played night games) watching fireworks, bands, parades, skydivers, etc. I couldn't wait to go to Akron U and grow up and go to games on my own. Now that I have my own kids I want to take them ( little young yet almost 2 years old) but I cant wait for another couple years. I have 2 degrees from Akron (thinking about a third) and have had season tickets since 1987! I saw Alcorns Acme Zip winning 55 yard FG, I saw Leftwhich get carried down the field, I saw Pennington, Roethlisberger beat us (3 times), I saw Frye elude about 6 guys and throw a 45 yard TD pass, Ive watched Getsy to Hixon in person and I attended every Ianello debacle. So please, don't tell me not one student dreams of it. I did and I keep coming back!

Off topic, but I got my Season tickets and NO mention of the $5 jersey offer... anyone know anything?? Thanks! Can't wait for Kickoff! Go Zips!

At least we aren't Ball State and have a punter! Who do they think they are... the Browns?

"I must say" Ed Grimley.... Who knew?

Yeah I think this program is BS. I am a huge Zips football fan and they are telling me I will be 8th in line to get priority tickets for away games, tourney games and bowl games???? They should be so lucky that I am interested in those things!! I am not happy and it better never effect anything I choose to go to.

No one has mentioned that the twitter handle is Coach Bowdens first. I for one smell a rat!

Are we complaining because we have to find something to complain about? It was Day 1 after all. Ill take anything I can get!

Where can I send that to???

I was told today by a ticket rep Spring Game is slated to be Sat. April 19 Easter Weekend

I contacted the A11FL and asked directly if Akron or Cleveland will be in the last two spots. They replied within 5 min and said: "Our finalist markets are Seattle, Denver,Philadelphia and Detroit." They are obviously wanting big boy cities!

Anyone know if they come back to Canton this season? I wish I had seen this post earlier...as a teacher I have nothing better to do on days off!

Try again he signed with the Titans this morning. Anyone know what Jason Taylor is up too?

I actually talked to him and tried to explain to him that the auctioneer was losing him money by not accepting bids on the bleachers after the initial "one" bleacher was sold. He laughed at me and said no I am making money regardless. I said you better think about this one. A few minutes later he went over and whispered to the auctioneer and strangely they opened more bids and from my account sold at least 6 more bleachers. He is not a genius, or anything close! This disaster is going to run them into the ground, no doubt.

The Browns have a great defense... Ummmm apparently our definition of great is different!

During the third and early fourth quarters of the Toledo game the Zips went into the 3-4 ( when Toledo was driving) and Frenchy mentioned that it was a taste of things to come for next year.

Was it just me or was it breaking news that the Zips are opening at home on Thurs Aug. 28 next year against Howard? I constantly look at the future schedule and I dont ever remember seeing that on there! 269 days now!!! Boy is it exciting to actually look forward to Akron football!

My section (212, row 1) was closed. They asked me and my group to move into the reserved section (210?) so we did until the usher came and said sorry move elsewhere someone has these seats. We went to Guest services to complain and they comped us club seats! We were a lot further away from the action than we are used to , but it was a fun time!

That field goal is my first real memory of Akron football! I was 13 years old! That was so awesome!

Shouldn't that be progrum?

And NO way 20,000 show up. I say 14-17 will be lucky and that's dependent on some iffy weather forecasting for next weekend!

Well if it wasnt for Ball States band there would have been less than 50 on the east side of the Info
