went in 2006 get I-77 to marietta and go west-once you get off 71 in columbus you're into a bunch of cowpaths...

sory folks, unless the edsel becomes the best selling u.s. car, no bowl for us..here's what Mandel has: buffalo/tcu-poinsettia; central/fresno-motor city;bgsu/uconn-international;testicle tech/tulsa-gmac;westen/tulsa-texas bowl...he says bgsu wins the east...not sure about that but too many teams with too many quality wins to be 'bowling'...

except he recruited the players...where did nate davis come from anyway?

:unsure:no... its not the person Dr. Z...the coaches name could be dennison or larson or smith or methusula for all i care...its the result on the field...i would love nothing more than for these guys to get to the new stadium next year...and maybe the decision has already been made...but this is another watershed for this program...what happens these last two games,moving to the new place and the season next year...is the body of work at a high enough level to reward this staff with the new stadium and more longevity...has the last five years been what we want the next five to be like?...thats all...nothing personal...got it?Maybe its the fact that you have been a zips fan for for a lot longer than myself, or maybe its just your personality, but you are by far the most pessimistic poster on this forum...and thats saying a lot. ' to deny reality is at times convenient,even fun...but when you wake up in the morning its still there...' maybe its all those games i've been to...but i pay my money and i watch the games and i(and my GF) agonize every time they lose and celebrate every time they win...by the way if j.d. gets to 6-6 I HOPE HE GETS AT LEAST 2 more years

never drew 20-25K here on a regular basis even when Larson and Dennison were winning...i went to the playoff games when they didn't draw squat..

i hope we draw 25,000+ next year and for years to come whomever is the coach,no matter what the record...but...did anybody watch the Western Micigan Toledo game today...Western is what, 9-2? going to a bowl...they have been a consistent winner in comparison to a lot of MAC teams...have a nice facility...they could have doubled the number of people who were actually there and not sold out...fact of life in the MAC over time..

the new place will be a novelty for a while and people will show up because its new for a year,maybe two...a few more students will show for a while because it is closer...but if there is not a consistent winner on the field that won't last...historically the charm of new facilities wears off...canal park used to have 'legitimate' sellouts all the time...we had season tickets...but they have had to resort to more free and discounted tickets to get people to show up...look at the historical football attendance all over the MAC...how many over time consistently draw 20,000+...not just a couple of years but over time...

:unsure:no... its not the person Dr. Z...the coaches name could be dennison or larson or smith or methusula for all i care...its the result on the field...i would love nothing more than for these guys to get to the new stadium next year...and maybe the decision has already been made...but this is another watershed for this program...what happens these last two games,moving to the new place and the season next year...is the body of work at a high enough level to reward this staff with the new stadium and more longevity...has the last five years been what we want the next five to be like?...thats all...nothing personal...got it?

only managed to win ONE home game this year folks...don't blame it on the Bowl...over time Akron has a big win advantage at home...maybe thats why there were 'only' 18k last night...and the weather was good and the tickets were cheap...brookhart wants butts in the seats but he loses BIG games at home...don't blame it on the Bowl or the players...they busted ther butts and the Bowl was the Bowl...look in the mirror

can you say BRADY HOKE...TURNER GILL..those are the coaches of the year...brookhart may end up 5-7...ya know can't COULD end up 5-7 also...

i am having a problem grasping the purported concept that this football program has come such a long way when i see programs like ball state,central michigan,western michigan and buffalo most of whom were AWFUL until recently...see buffalo,ball state etc etc...moving past us within the past couple of years...while ball state and buffalo went from losers to being on the verge akron has regressed in the last 3 years...its correct new stadia do not a winner make... GOOD COACHES AND GOOD PLAYERS do...its past time

20 grand at the bowl...counting fuffalo freaks...if the weather is decent...

hey folks, don't put yourselves in the position of having to eat crow...Jacquemain has never played in a game this big...the defense may be even worse if Graham is out...Kennedy could go for 150 or fumble 3 times...jeremy bruce could do whatever it is he does with the ball...we better hope our O LINE takes over early and often...this is way to close to call...

this game is so huge for these teams the line is meaningless it also says that fuffalo is getting a lot of respect...Zips don't fail us now!

:blink: is Graham healthy enough to play tomorrow? he was hurt last week? if not, the secondary might get torched...

do ya think anyone will care if i try to pry a section of bleacher and take it home after the game?

the weather is not good for the biggest game at the BOWL in, well does it matter?..how many 'fans' will show if its raining and cold?...look at them...those are FANS...probably some of the same idiots(like me) who showed for the 'Blizzard Bowl' in 2005...GO ZIPS

ok one more time...NO BOWL GAME for the ZIPS unless they win the EAST...which means BEAT fuffalo...AND finish .500 or better after the mac championship so lets stop the nonsense..oh by the way...if brookhart does not finish at least 6-6 now..adios

THANK YOU...if so called fans don't come out thursday screw 'em...the only thing thats matters is a WIN...believe me fuffalo will have lots of folks there..biggest game since the '05 Bilzzard Bowl against can't...go ZIPS

wow...if we could only really think the ZIPS won't lose another game!!!...just get to 5 wins in the MAC before fuffalo and bg...that means a 'bowl' and at least 7 wins...take it!!!

first team in the east to 5 wins in the mac will win the division...cuz whoever wins thursday still only has 2 losses and the tiebreaker on head to head...the best anyone else will do is 5 wins...AND Brookhart probably keeps the job with 6 wins so this gets huge...to beat buffalo will take the zips playing their best game of the year..see ya there...

where did the new and improved dennis kennedy come from?...here's some things that may have happened....first and maybe most important this offensive line tackle to tackle is probably the best group that has been here since the ZIPS went D-I...those guys are controlling games even in losses...second, i think kennedy learned from watching Alex Allen and Andrew Johnson...he has stopped looking for the sideline and started running 'north/south'...stick your nose in the hole and move the legs...starting to remind me a little of brett biggs the last really decent running back we had here before Allen...kennedy isn't as thick in the legs but he is running the middle and moving the pile at times like biggs did...finally kennedy appears motivated..he seems to want the responsibilty of carrying the ball alot...good for him because thursday is the biggest game at the Bowl since the 'Blizzard Bowl' in 2005 when they won the division...

:blink: bar scene from the 'blues brothers'?...stand by your...man?

mu just drove it in on fuffalo....looks like da bulls are the real deal on offense...they may have some problems with a qb who can move..unfortunately we do not have one of those...they bring pressure on the d so you gotta run at them or they will kill jacquemain...IF the ZIPS take care of bidness tomorrow should be a hell of a game next thursday...IF

i hope the coaches and players see more of a sense of urgency about the toledo game than most of you guys seem to have...lose the season is in the sh...er
