Pretty soon, Sports Center will want be there for this. What else are they going to talk about on opening weekend? I can at least see a live interview in front of the Heisman statue.

Thanks, @exit322. Holly s..., I go away for a few days and come back to see the football world is talking about the Zips. I'm not going to edit my typo. I'll own it. Now I need to hurry up and get my season ticket before they sell out! Move over Acme. This could be an annual promotion.

I think Poof the Magic Dragon could be the real deal. UNLV playing a long way from home will take a 1--2 Zip team too lightly. Zips win. There really isn't much separation in the MAC. With 5 conference wins, Zips finish 7-5. In the MAC, injuries play a big role. No body is flush with depth. We all play a tough OOC schedule. Those early conference losses Cat predicts could become very competitive. Of course, those injuries could sting the Zips, but I'm still going with 7 wins!

@mrelegazna I'm kinda like you except I visit here most days. For me, it's like reading the funnies. It's nice learning about people coming and going, but that's about it.

My take home: After watching two interviews and Evan's play this season, Gross, Evan needs to be a GA for next year!!! Even if has a chance in Europe, don't let him get away! Evan will help us attract and mold the type of men we want to represent the Zips. DON'T LET HIM SLIP AWAY! I'm to far away; or I would be there for senior night.

Miami pulled today's victory out of their butt with a desperation contested 3 to tie The Buffs with 1/2 second in regulation. I switched back to Akron/Western skipping the OT. The Buffs will test us.

Over 4000 in the portal? 30+/ team? nearly 40% of the roster? That's hard to believe. I know some teams loose more than others, but if this is true D1 football is in a real bad place.

It's hard to put a hand in their face when they are shooting 20 for 20 FT's!

One of these days the planets will align, and l will be able to actually see Rica play in DM. I wish the Timberwolves would consult me; so, l could arrange my schedule to make it happen. I have a 15' drive to the arena.

@ZippyRulz 8/'61 Right before my sr year in HS, couple of friends and I sat on the side line with our toes literally touching the chalk at Hiram watching the Browns scrimmage.

Marv Levy is one of Coe's famous alumni. A few years ago, Fred Jackson played in the NFL. That would be like someone from Hiram making the jump!

Furman went up 3-1 in 85' right when l tuned in to that match. They must have scored just before that. Hofstra tied it with 2 goals in a minute. I had to leave them tied after both OT's to tune in to the Zips match. Furman won on PK's. I was thinking of those 2 goals as the clock ran down in Akron.

I think this group of Zips will show some grit and bounce back big. Zips 45 BG 27

Now that Kent has a pulse, this will be a tough game. I've lost all hope that Finley will complete 65%, but at least I hope for no stupid mistakes. I think the D will continue to shine, and the O will score just enough. Zips 24 -- Flashes 17

Of course, we will get homered by the BIG ref's, but I think we have enough depth to keep the pace fast. I'm no BB guru, but from what I've seen, I think we will be a match up problem for them as they are for us. Young in particular sticks to his man like glue. The whole D has been great. I think it will come down to shooting. Can we make a decent shooting %? Our chance for a V? I would say slim, but not none. GO ZIPS
