yes, and all of what you said too.got to be careful!!!

You make the call!Looks different to me. Check out the highest bar in his face mask.Jackson only has one. McNeal has two.

I was thinking that too.I've compared the pictures.The guy holding the wheel looks a little thick to be Jackson.I compared everything, even down to the clear face mask plastic.But now that someone else has said it, I think you may be right.Why do the Zips have two 7's?I'm surprised the conference allows that.

I thought I saw a Zippy body surf over there....and thanks for the warning, but you weren't at the Springsteen concert in '78, were you?

OK, I give.

ALL of the seats on the home side are reserved.Putting all the GA on the opposite side is stupid.I brought my kids last year, gave up my reserved seat to do so, and had to sit with a bunch of Bowling Green fans.....great.A couple of years ago, I brought two of my boys and purchased reserved seats so they could sit with me....$7 a pop...why not come up with a kid price?The U really doesn't make it easy on fans, in many respects.

We have to get that urine yellow off the spokes.Nice touch flushes!!!

Zippy is behind Hokie Bird:Hokie 32221 | Zippy 32064Let's crank it up. Times a wasten'

LIGHT POLE?WHAT LIGHT POLE?

I think we should do it!!!Let's start a homecoming tradition.Should I even ask, but will they let people with reserved tickets sit in GA?You never know.

In my opinion, the atmosphere at this game was much better than a lot of the 35,000 and 37,000 Acme-Zips games.Why? Because we didn't need a promotion or discount tickets to get a good crowd.Because the student section was outstanding.In addition, with the Bowl being so screwed up, I personally don't see how it can still hold 31,000.If the announced crowd yesterday was almost 22,000, I really don't see how they could fit 31,000 into the Bowl....even taking into account the high school bands.To quote Jim Dennison, I think some people just need a little, "PMA."

81, you can't tell anything from that picture. Come on now. You are so far away that if there was 1 person for every 2 seats, you couldn't tell from that distance. Look at the top left. Those seats are empty. If the place was full there wouldn't be an entire area empty like that. The point is that this game should have been sold out and it wasn't. That makes it even worse. The capacit is 31,00 and you can still see large holes from the other side of the field. Well, you can crap all over this if you want.I thought the turnout was great...the student section was humming, and I really don't know where they could have put another 5,000.Can't tell anything from the picture?I guess you just can't take my word for it since I was there.I just don't know why you're being so negative.Anyway, it doesn't matter...I don't want to argue over something like that.Let's just agree this is a beautiful sight.

Were you there??? It was packed... my beef is I Tivo the game on WEWS out of Cleveland and they bump us for OSU with 1:44 to go in the GAME??? WTF??? So now at our home stadium we are giving out false information. Is that what you are saying?If the RB holds 35,000, the place may look pretty full with 22000 there. To fit that 35,000 in, people have to be packed in. I am sure there were quite a few holes and even rows that weren't close to being full. It is very hard to judge how packed the place is when you are there. If you are on one side of the bowl looking across, it may look full when in reality it is 2/3 full only.I don't understand why the UofA would give out false information to make us look worse. BuckZip....the Bowl no longer holds 35,000 because the end zone seats are covered with a tarp.The game notes lists the capacity as 31,000.

and it was just as packed on the other side of the Bowl.You could add a couple more thousand for the bands that were there that were not counted in the paid attendance.

there were more people there than that. I don't care what they say.

The place looked packed to me.I don't know where they could have put any more people.Perhaps it looked more crowded because they had the high school bands there...who no doubt, did not pay.

That reply was inappropriate.First of all, I can't believe he said, "Dude."Second of all...take it from me, this was probably a kid getting paid by the hour to chart game tapes for the sports anchor.His news director should read that e-mail!!The viewers are the customers, and you were treated bush league!

I just want to say how proud I am to see the student cheering section at today's game.Very, very impressive.The whole atmosphere was outstanding....from tailgate city to the cheering section in the Bowl.Outstanding!!The thunder sticks were "thundering."A good day to be a Zip! I mentioned it in another thread already, but it was embarrassing listening to the Fuck Can't State chants all game long. We've complained and complained about that coming from Can't for years. There is no reason that we should have been doing that. I was impressed with the quantity of the student section today, but the quality was severly lacking. I know it's a rivalry game, but come on now. I was sitting on the press box side and, fortunately, couldn't hear any of that.You are correct. There's no place for that in the Rubber Bowl.

I don't understand. If it was general admission, why couldn't they just move to a seat where there were people sitting down in front of them?If you chose to sit in the student cheering section, you're gonna have to put up with students cheering....no?

7 a.m!!! You are rowdy!I was thinking about having the flag flying by 10 a.m.Now you got me thinking about 9 a.m.Either way, we'll be down there..please drop in.Keystone is a fine brew.

Well, the new weekend sports guy on channel 3 said something like:"now that the buckeyes have had two less than worthy opponents, they now take on the washington huskies."Bleacher Bum...I suggest that you take care of this issue.Having said that...channel 3 has, by far, the best commitment to Akron news coverage.
