The NCAA isn't interested in parity, only the illusion of parity. The only thing that matters is $$$$$$$, plain and simple. The only thing that will change the focus on $$$$$$ is that a P5 school, with considerable success and $$$$ feels like it's getting cheated and lobbies hard for a change.

Why is this particularly interesting? 9-13 record at UT Chattanooga...

What now?

When was Cleveland's Population 1,000,000!? 1960s?

Yes but you should also be prepared for the out-of-nowhere coaching candidates that might express an interest in the job after it is announced which is something you cannot plan for. After Ianello was fired, I doubt anyone thought Bowden would end up as the next football coach of Akron.

I will miss Terry Bowden because he brought the first watchable football to the Zips while I've been a Zips fan. First Bowl win, and first MAC Championship game in a decade. He was never able to recapture the offensive potential that we all thought we saw in the first two years here. Thanks Terry for getting us out of the gutter. Now let's hope we can find the guy to take us to the next level.

Well this is unwatchable.

Correct. Because universities just continue to dump $$$$$ into facilities, on programs that they spend $$$$$ on and pass on the bill to the student body in their student debt.

I will at least attend a game this year, unlike last year.

Because I'm a homer, and refuse to ever say anything else; Zips Win. Go Zips. Now please excuse me as I go sit on the toilet in preparation for this game.

Well that's a first. Keep winning and pray Clemson keeps winning

Against 2-8 BGSU no less.

oh but it doesn't censor dipshit. Stupid censor if you ask me. But w/e, sorry I triggered you pretty little snowflake. Grow up a little and act your age.

I think S stands for crap, but same difference. No one cares to read your passive-aggressive gloating. You work on your grace, I'll work on my skin. But jesus dude, work on your own thin skin. Sorry a little crap talking got to your own thin skin, and triggered you tough guy. Seems like a lot of Zips fans right now are thin.

You really are a PoS aren't you? You could handle yourself with a little grace and welcome everyone onto the Bowden-critic wagon. Instead, Keener gonna Keen'. I honestly don't see Bowden being fired, but I could be wrong. I wouldn't be surprised. I am thankful for the fun games I did get to see in the Bowden-era after the non-fun games of the Ianello debacle.

Wow. Just Wow. I'm done with Bowden personally this is absolutely unacceptable.

What trash. What absolute trash.

Wow the Zips are going to find a way to lose to BGSU.

I'm not defending Bowden an co here for this season, as I have become extremely disgruntled, however I do think some objectivity is needed. Equating Fleck and Bowden is a ludicrous comparison. The team Fleck inherited was considerably different from the team Bowden inherited. PJ Fleck inherited a team that had only 1 coach change in 7 years, and one year removed from a bowl game/winning season. Bowden Inherited a team that had 3 coaching changes in 9 years, and was 7 years removed from a bowl-game/winning season. To equate the situations that Bowden and fleck had is laughable. With that being said, yes I agree the Zips should be, in 2018, beyond the utter-meltdown after suffering a couple of injuries stage. The Zips should also be beyond a sputtering offense. But it's time to stop equating Fleck and Bowden's situation. A more apt comparison would be Bowden to the situations at Eastern Michigan and Miami of Ohio. Both situations are extremely similar to the situation the Zips were in.

Isn't the MAC already an obscure conference?

This Bowden cheerleader is officially off the bandwagon.

Right. I freaking lose my mind everytime a Zips (or Browns) returner has the opportunity to get the ball at the 25 and instead runs it and gets short of the 25. This is the Zips for goodness sake, if you have the opportunity to start at the 25...START AT THE 25! There's no way in hell I trust the Zips offense staring on less.

They cancelled their game with us, by rescheduling a game not with us FIRST they should still be liable for paying us IMHO. Akron only put SC on the schedule because Nebraska had already found another game (and were probably scared to play Akron).

I wonder if Father Nelson is going to take to social media and talk crap to Zips fans.

Doesn't look like it's gotten any bettter:
