I think you may be surprised Toledo 31 Akron 7

A win against PSU probably doesn't mean much for most people. But I grew up in PA, so watching my school completely destroy PSU is like watching Akron beat OSU. They may not have the strongest basketball program, but it is the Big10 and they are the biggest school in the state. Now, like most people have said the next few games will be a huge test. They Zips will make the trip home with alot of hype after a great finish to the tournament. In the past they always seem to find a way to lay an egg at home after big wins. Let's hope they can use this tournament as momentum and make this season different than the past.

Yes definitely played well for the 2nd half. Penn State can't use any excuses, sorry. I don't care if their PG was hurt, they lost by 25 points. We had to deal with 2 suspensions, Abreu's injury, and Diggs for the entire year. No sympathy from us...

Still alot of time left, need to keep up the pressure! Akron's getting a bit too lazy.

Zips really have trouble carrying momentum from one game to another. But PSU has hit a lot of 3's so far. Another frustrating performance.

Don't have a link...just walk to the closest bar on a Saturday and ask the drunk OSU fans.

I think the only people more mad than the ND haters are Big10 fans. They've been in denial for the past decade and continually like to brag about how much better they are than the SEC. Even after the SEC has won so many championships in a row, they still won't admit how far superior they are. Looks like 2012 may be yet another SEC championship!

Playing all of these close games makes it easier for heartbreaking outcomes like the Ok State finish. People can blame Chancey all they want, but the way the team was throwing up bricks the score should have never been that close to begin with.

I'm always going to be an Akron fan. But no one should be okay with losing.

Only up by 3? this is getting ridiculous. I'm tired of hearing about "moral victories" and being positive after losses. At the end of the day no one cares if they should have won games or almost won games. No one should be okay with losing. Don't be surprised if they end up 1-3

WOW! WE MADE A LAYUP!

Have we made a shot this entire half...other than a free throw? Seriously

No this team just isn't as good as everyone has been saying.

Honestly it would be better if the MAC couldn't get into these games. I don't want to have to worry about Ohio or Can't making a run in the future. Obviously we will never be up there, so it's irrelevant to the Zips. Last time I checked you have to at least win against an FBS opponent to make it to a championship game.

Not to mention, we just lost to a weak D1 team last week, did we really want to start 0-2?

In all fairness, if so many people cared about soccer wouldn't you expect more than 2,460 for a MAC championship game? I respect what Porter and the Zips have done, bringing Akron a championship. But at the end of the day I would trade that championship for a winning football team. We just watched our basketball team crush any chance of decent crowds, rankings, and an at-large bid. Football secured it's 3rd 1-win season in a row. Fun weekend for Zips fans! Not sure what John Buchtel did to curse our school, but dang...the constant disappointments are so much fun!

Embarrassing, can't blame anyone but themselves.

This may be the most embarrassing loss I can ever remember by the Zips

Zips had a nice run going, then completely fell apart before the half. Lucky to still have the lead. Zips aren't getting any calls, missing easy shots inside the paint, and turning it over way too much.

Wow these refs are terrible. Can't believe how many fouls they are calling on Akron!

What's going on with our team? it looks like they're just running around in circles

it's better! we get to watch the awesome spinner! and we paid for it!

Nope...nothing at all. Looks like it's loading, but it's been that way for about 5 min.

I paid the $5 to watch the video. I don't think it could be any worse than the MAC feeds, but you never know.

Having Harney and Tree out may not seem like a big deal now, but it could be. Add in significantly decreased minutes for Abreu and it's a big loss. An attempt at an at-large bid is already a longshot and it makes EVERY SINGLE GAME of the season important. Think if we lost to Coastal Carolina and Ok State how much that would hurt our chances. Not to mention a 1-2 start would hurt any type of "excitement" our fanbase has for this season.
