Come on guys. I thought the Zips were pretty well represented. Sure OSU took some of our fans away. I wish they would have taken more, (eg. the idiots who wore OSU shirts to our game). But I couldn't believe how poorly represented Indiana was. THEY'RE the big ten team and they brought very few fans. I thought the home side was pretty full but the visitor side was way too empty. I hope the MAC schools are better represented.

Someone said that Reggie Corner would get some playing time today but I couldn't get the game. Did he play? How did he do?

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/preview?game...6&confId=15 We can win this game. I just hope the guys BELIEVE!

I just thought of something else I wanted to say. I LOVED when the running game was slowing down and they put in the double backs: Tuzze and DK. They're an awesome combo and I would like to see them in together more often especially in short yardage situations. There is no reason EVER for us not to be able to pound out a first down. Our line is great and an additional blocker should assure us of a first down every time. Pass whenever you want but always get the first down to keep the drive alive! I hate when we get in the red zone, have 3 incomplete passes, and then kick the field goal. Go for the first down then worry about the TD.

I still say it's the pickle juice

Akron wins 47-30!

Akron 40-23 12:43 left in the game.

Zips up 33-23. Weird score, huh? 3:00 left in the 3rd.

Akron is up 26-16 with 7:50 left in the third.

Anyone else feeling a little lost without a Zips game to watch?

I wonder if DK took my advice and drank dill pickle juice before the game?????? If he did and it worked I think we should get busy and send the athletic department several cases of pickles because he played like superman or maybe like Popeye and the pickles were his spinach. Remember the earlier chant, "Kennedy for President!!!!" Great job!

I remember when a student of mine beat out another of my students for linebacker on our hs team. After congratulating him I said, I'm glad you got the position but truthfully I didn't think it was fair because the other team never really ran the ball at him during the scrimmage so he couldn't show what he could do. The winning student replied, "but it's my job to read the offense and put myself in a position to make the play and be where the ball is. Maybe our guys just aren't reading the offense and calling the checks that need to be called to put themselves in position to make the play.

I am soooo sick of you guys calling for Torrence. He's totally unproven and new to the system. Last year you wanted Brinson and we see how that turned out. Go with the guys who are there week in and week out, practicing hard and committing to the Akron system. I'm sure you're sick of hearing me screaming for Tuzze. But come on, one carry for 11 yds and then we don't see him the rest of the game????? Last week 4 carries for 21 yds. and a pass for 8. I'm not saying to make him the primary back but mix it up a little bit. Run double backs sometimes. The offensive line was having a tough time so put him in to provide some extra protection for Jacq. I like Bruce but he can't do it all. Will BWill never return a punt?? They've got Bruce doing everything and a few of you didn't even want to see him at receiver a couple of games ago. I think Moorehead wants to see us fail. Maybe he thinks he'll get the job if Brookhart goes down. I think the Can't game was the poorest use of personnel that I've seen this season. It seems to be getting worse instead of better. We get our defense looking better and the offense leaves them on the field for the rest of the game. Come on! My grandma could call a better game--from the grave. And are the pass plays that are being called leaving our receivers out to dry??? I think JD needs to have a real heart to heart with Moorehead. Whatever the game plan was for Sat----it sucked! I hear Johnson will be back this week. Don't kill him! Rotate different guys in. Keep them fresh and keep BG guessing. We've got the talent to win this! Use it!

Someone tell DK to drink some dill pickle juice. It's an old fashioned cure for leg cramps. If it's just an old wives tale, so what, it can't hurt. I think it's something about the salt in the pickle brine that does the trick. I used it myself in my former swim team days. lol

I hear Andrew Johnson is out of the hospital and should be fine. I don't know if he'll be able to play or practice. Devoe has a lot of learning to do to be ready to play. While the pitch and "hot potato" play to Pride about gave me a heart attack, I think he'll be in the game. I am happy with Tuzze getting to carry the ball. I about cried when they tried to pass on 3rd and 1 when he has been consistently able to get the yards we need. While I am often upset with the play calling I thought it was pretty good this week. Refs fault or not we have to cut down the penalties. Come on guys, ya can't blame the coaches for everything. After losing a game we could have easily won I hope the players are hungry and go out and pummel Can't.
