I think they only have blue and white pants. Too bad they can't wear these again: Although I understand it's pointless to buy throwback uniforms only to be worn for one game.

Just gets better every week:

I think the problem with gold is that sometimes it doesn't translate well with fabrics. Some Pitt uniforms in the past have looked like a pale tan color. Some Notre Dame uniforms have looked like mustard. The key is finding a happy medium. I think the shade Michigan State used would look cool.

Amen! I'm actually shocked at how awesome the football team has looked this season. Those satin gold helmets last week looked awesome. Wonder if we'll ever see a return to gold basketball unis?

Strange. I have the Choice package as well, but CBS Sports is included. When I first signed up for DirecTV last year I didn't get it, but it seems like they added it (along with FS2 and SEC Network) and some other channels this fall. Might have something to do with my location (live in PA)?

Over the past few years I've had CBS Sports with TWC, Dish and now with DirecTV. All three were pretty standard packages if I remember correctly. I think you're correct in assuming most people have the channel but haven't realized it yet... It's not a bad channel, just doesn't have the app/streaming capabilities that ESPN has.

This is a joke. TAKE HIM OUT!!!

Wow this is bad. I feel like the Zips D cannot stop anything and the offense can't stay on the field. Don't expect a comeback like last week. Need to start games with energy...

That makes sense. My issue is that I doubt we'll ever see Infocision filled again, let alone filled on a consistent basis. Even if the Zips can continue winning, people just don't get excited about the MAC opponents coming to town.

The MAC's problem is that there are way too many schools clustered together. Let's be honest, Akron isn't leaving anytime soon. So our best shot of improving our national stance is trying to make the MAC a better conference. Adding some schools with decent followings to expand our footprint would be a good start. NDSU, App State, MTSU, Marshall (sorry) would be a good start.

Getting rid of Bernie/Donovan calling the Browns games was the worst thing the Browns could do. Listening to Mike Patrick and Solomon Wilcots is unbearable. It almost seems like they do zero research before the games and just show up.

I thought the same thing until they showed a shot from the end zone camera. You could actually see both of his hands empty as he was falling back.

I noticed that too. I know he also does the Browns games, doubt he'd do a Marshall game the day before.

Step up defense.

Marshall is looking good to start the second half. Wouldn't be surprised if this game is close before we know it.

The cheap crap on Brown still has me heated. Most likey he's out for the rest of the game if not more. Yet Marshall's center can keep playing. Zips need to keep the momentum going and run away with this..

It gets worse. Much worse.

Wow the guy made a stupid comment and got a bunch of Zips fans to argue with each other. Talk about successful trolling....

I'm so sick of hearing about Wisconsin and Houston. ESPN is acting like these two teams are headed straight for the National Championship after week 1.

He was 100% right about the zone coverage though. The Zips weren't getting to the outside and kept running into each other.

VMI's coach must have been mad about the Zips throwing deep late. To be honest they didn't even deserve to be in the game. If you don't want Akron to score, stop them. Usually I'm the most negative person after a game like this. I still think the Zips will lose next week. But, I really hope it was the coaching staff trying to hide something. Obviously the penalties were the main reason VMI was still in the game in the 3rd. But the lack of adjustments only makes me think they were holding back. I mean Jerod Cherry was basically begging the Zips to switch to a zone defense after they kept getting beat.

I was thinking the same thing. From other pictures I've seen it looks like he barely missed the scoreboard. Must have been asleep at the wheel, excessively drunk or old. I hate to say it but some old people scare me more than drunks. Unfortunate that it did so much damage to the fences at the stadium.

Adidas has always had a weird texture on their "stretchy" jerseys. The previous style looked even more like tire threads.

The Zips need to get rid of anything that includes black or silver. Stick with our school colors.

At least one MAC school cares about improving themselves. Even though it's a long shot, at least they are showing they are sick of a mediocre conference.
