Now we're talking!!! Who else is with me!?!?

Didn't you read my post? I said clean house right now. We're terrible. We were outcoached in a game that we led 40-14 at the half last week too. I'm with you, the guy that only shows up when Akron is losing. I agree with you. Clean house and regroup because there's always next year.

Exactly. It's time to tank now. Clean house. 3-3 and 1-1 in the MAC. Outcoached last week, too. #FireBowden

Man, Tommy is putting way too much on the ball today. He's really struggling to play with the wind.

Special teams, outside of Stein's FG, have made my eyes bleed so far. Just got a big stop here though.

Poutine cook off is a must

Akron is the best team the MAC, and I really don't think it's close. CMU is the next closest competition and they live and die by the three--even more than Akron did at the end of last season. Shooting the three can make you really good, but they lack the other qualities of a championship caliber team.

Indeed. Just have to avoid the stupid penalties on defense as a whole, and the D can ruffle the Falcons' feathers like no team has done yet this year.

Yeah, I just think there will be more of an emphasis on it this week because of how he torched BG last year.

I wouldn't be surprised if the staff put him in on defense a couple of times this week to cause havoc like he did last year against BG. Like, on third and medium and long when you know they'll throw.

Like that catch he made with two guys covering him at EMU, just throw it where only he can get to it and he can make the catch nearly 100% of the time. Could Lane be the playmaker we've been looking for?

Edwards is the best Zips return man since Andre Jones and Bryan Williams.

3* QB Kato Nelson http://www.hustlebelt.com/mac-football-recruiting/2015/5/24/8653499/2016-akron-football-recruiting-3-star-qb-kato-nelson-commits-to-Zips

3 more points and the upcoming game at BG is a battle for sole possession of the East. UGH!!!

It's possible to shut down Davis, but Lane is so dadgum big and strong that he really can't be stopped. The only thing that can stop him from dominating are his hands.

I remember Frenchy's radio call. Legendary.

1. We'll (hopefully) win. 2. I hope we run it down their throats with Tommy and Conor/Donnell and complete 11-16 play action passes thanks to setting up the run. 3. If the Zips can stop running backs Darius Jackson and Eddie Daugherty, there's no way they get more than one touchdown.

Hustle Belt also has UMass above Akron. What have they done to prove that? They've laid an egg against an awful Colorado team and barely beat a low level Sun Belt team at home. Whatever, it's Akron against the world as always. GO ZIPS!!!!

I'm so excited to see the grey turf in person!

Definitely a must win. Come out angry and dominate. LSU was looking way past these guys and we can't afford to do that.

Better yet, cut football. Thanks, Terry Bowden. I'll still worship you because no matter what happens, I'll always be by your side, even if Akron is playing its best football in 7 years and I can't be happy about it. But seriously, Above all, we want wins, and right now, Bowden and his staff give us the best chance to do that faster than if we were to clean house (again) and start from scratch. Are his methods unorthodox? Absolutely, but until he proves to me that it doesn't work (2-3, 0-1 MAC through 5 games isn't a large enough sample), I'm interested in the possibilities.

Oh, you want wins? SHOCKER. Progress leads to bigger things. I'm not f'ing happy about the loss today, but I can say that the Zips put up a fight that they wouldn't have in the past. I've never wanted the pot of gold so badly in my time cheering on the Zips, and a loss like this can only lead to improvements. Ohio is a solid team that is one of the best coached in the country and Akron lost by 2 points on a day full of poor play and stupid mistakes. Can I not be happy about that? Oh, I can't because we can't take positives from a loss. #FireBowden #ReHireIanello

Progress is going from being awful and never having a chance to win to having a chance to win every game. Under Bowden, especially these past two years, Akron has been more competitive than any of the five years before. What we've seen under Bowden is progress. A 14-12 homecoming loss is much different than a 43-3 homecoming loss. Go cheer for Can't if you love mediocrity so much and want Bowden gone.

Plain and simple, we lose this game by 20+ a few years ago. I know trolling is your thing, but this is progress. Much better than 43-3.
