I have a bad feeling this is a blowout win for BG. I really really hope I am wrong!

No way those type of lights would be allowed so close to the airport. I must say the restaurant looked cool! I also liked the "loge" in front of the old pressbox! It is fun to dream isn't it?

And naturally I go to sign in and time warner doesn't recognize the username and password and after 25 min on the phone and getting transferred I hung up so frustrated. Just give me the damn password!

My TV Guide App tells me Zips Football with Terry Bowden is airing at 730-8:00pm Monday Sept. 2 on STO. It will be re-aired at 1030 pm then Tuesday Night 11:30-1200amFri Sept. 6th 2:30-3:00 pm. I have week two airing Mon. Sept. 9 at 10:30pm (I am assuming because of the Tribe game?)

Sadly yes! Ipad makes it real nice!

I got mine a good two or three weeks ago. You might want to call Monday and ask about them.

Zips Live returns this year. (Monday night AFTER Aeros game. Then normally on Thursday nights.) Any word on a TV show with Coach Bowden?

With the weight loss, grey hair and those dark glasses anyone thinking Coach is looking like Barry Weiss from Storage Wars?? Anyways, any word on the winner of the punting competition?

I seem to remember the Zips having a Heisman candidate once upon a time. That didn't turn out so well...maybe we will see that again!

I'm all for it! I love the match-ups! I don't love OSU but I also don't hate them. I never understood why all the hate. When I used to sit near Barb Hlivko at the Bowl, she used to really voice her hate for OSU. I never had a chance to ask her.

Can someone PLEASE tell these guys to just stop already. Bigtime pro wrestling isnt going to come to the Rubber Bowl. Big concert acts....please. There is no promoter who is going to take a chance on a building that hasn't hosted a concert since 2001. Heck the Zips couldn't draw 15,000 how is a (low) minor league team gonna draw anyone? A restaurant overlooking the field???? WHaaaaaat?!!!!

Yes, the Zips $75 seats are in the corner of the end zone. An Akron official showed me a map of the seating today. Is this down close to the field? I wish I had known that there were going to be cheap seats. I looked on Stubhub and ebay back in june, but what was there was expensive. Oh well, its ONLY $75 bucks!

I have been to all three OSU/ Zip games and I was sitting in this approximate spot all three times. I don't remember much other than: 1. It was 100 degrees at all three 2. We had a 400 pound plus guy in our row which made the tight bleacher seating even tighter at the 3-2 halftime game. 3. Seatbacks are not allowed unless you are a season ticket holder and "buy" them

What should be more importantly noticed is the availability of Michigan tickets priced from 35- 50 bucks when I had to pay 75 for mine! Darn it!

So you're saying there's a chance?

I was wondering why Jaime Cuadra was let go as President. Very interesting!

I guess I remember DB1 a little differently... Dont get me wrong, I liked DB1 He did have some good catches and i see the Can't grab is first on the montage, but I remember he had a ton of drops as well. Enough that a casual fan friend that I took one time mentioned it and it stuck with me the rest of his short career.

You mean the same Bowser that couldn't catch a cold? Although he did have a big catch in a Can't win on the road if I recall!?!

Does anyone remember the last year of the Rubber Bowl the on field mic crew started chants and said they wanted to carry them over into the Info. Z-I-P-S... never did it at the new places.. Personally I liked Z- I- P- S, Zips, Zips, Zips!

Fleming... again? No way he makes it past Summer camp healthy. He hasn't in his last 8 years why believe he will this year? I hope he does, but Ive seen this movie far to many times!

I bought my Michigan tickets today! Yeah!!! I'm ready for some football!!!

Rubber Bowl Update 6/30/13: Drove by today the George Washington gate was open and 2 SUVs and one car were parked near gate. One SUV was inside the stadium at the closed end parked at the concession stand. Either they were looking for hot dogs, or they were prepping and getting the stands ready for the season! (sarcasm) Trees are still growing abound in the place! All the pressbox windows are still shattered and the benches are still laying on the bleachers. However, I did see a posted "No Trespassing" sign!

I understand there is Twitter language then there is that... Whaaaat!???? I wouldn't read too much into it, heck, I cant even read it! lol

Rubber Bowl Update: Upon driving by to watch the Warbird airplanes roll into Akron Muni Monday, I witnessed the main gates open and a minivan backed into the old player tunnel. It would appear that at this rate the bleachers will be painted and the new press box installed and the retractable roof added by Spring 4714! P.S. There are now 2 port-a-potties sitting outside the gates! Woo-hoo!

1998 the year I started my first of 2 degrees at Akron. Fun times.
