For the 1,000,000th time, there is not NCAA attendance requirement.The discounted tickets (free) were a problem because they trained the people of Akron to think it should be free to go to a Zips game.

Z-P does a good job of summarizing Frye's shortfalls as they realate to the NFL. He just isn't a QB a team could count on to win games.If I was Charlie, I would pull a Rick Dockery and move to Europe and play professionally or maybe be a player/coach. Charlie needs to get away for a while. What the Browns did to him last year with the trade after the first game had to be crushing. He can always come back and coach or do whatever he wants to do.

And this is different from college football, how?Exactly!Televised college football games are 3+ hour death marches with a halftime that is way too long. The NFL is the greatest sports entertainment in this country and they only last 3 hours.

Nothing like that good old, Akron, defeatist, settle for mediocrity, hopefully we can compete in the East attitude.Actually, I think Z.I.P. has the right attitude and I don't find it defeatist or negative. Based upon the MAC standings UofA is not doing that bad compared to the remainder of the league. There is nothing wrong with being one of the best teams in a bad conference. 10 of 13 teams have only .500 records or worse. 7 of 13 have sub .500 records. UofA will be 4-4 at the end of this weekend and still in the hunt for the MAC East title. There are too many games to throw in the towel yet. Miami went to the MACC last season with a 6-6 record. There is no reason that could not happen to the Zips this year. There is still a lot of football to be played. The MAC is the hand we have been dealt. Nothing is going to change that. There will be no move to the Big East or Conference USA and the league is not ever going to be much better than what it is right now. Hell, it has been around since 1946 and this is it. Welcome to reality. Instead of everyone complaining about everything, embrace who we are. While there are some shortcomings, there is talent on this team, the conference is bad, we are getting a new stadium, we are in the running for the MAC East. I prefer to see the glass as half full. You guys should actually be excited about the remainder of the games. The problem with MAC fans is they are the parents of a baby called the MAC. As we all know, you can't tell someone their baby is ugly, but I have news for everyone, the MAC is an ugly baby. It's OK to still love an ugly baby even when you know it is ugly.

Thanks for saving me the time. Mason is a joke and anyone who would advocate the hiring of this loser suffers from NE Ohio Sports Fan Syndrome (neosfs).

Thanks for the links Sergeant Zip. Everyone should look at the first link. There is a side-by-side comparison of the two QB performances. What you will see are the numbers of a rising star playing on the road for Green Bay and the numbers of a QB struggling to stay in the NFL with Seattle. Some of you can look as hard as you want, but there is no silver lining in the numbers. Frye doesn't have what it take to win games.The good news for Frye is that he is one of many, many, many terrible back-up QBs in the NFL. If he just shows some signs of life he has a couple years left. Yesterday was not a sign of life though.

Don't be mad at the talking heads. Be mad at the MAC for sucking. App. State would have won the MAC last year and they are a I-AA team. Respect is earned and not given.

You guys need to understand something. Nothing bad is going to happen to JD if he gets fired at Akron. He will get one year salary and have a job in the NFL as an assistant by next March making more than what he does at Akron. He has had these offers in the past and can accept one of them whenever he wants. You should worry more about what would happen to Akron if he gets fired....and don't say it couldn't get worse because just when you think it can't, it does.Besides, Akron is going to win this Saturday and at least one other game. Five wins gets JD another year. Six gets a bowl game and a contract extension.

If I had not voted already, you would be getting my vote......

A team needs to score a minimun 24 points per week to win. The reason I pick the offense (coaches and players) is they did not put the ball in the endzone enough in the second half. Teams need to score TDs in the second half and not kick fieldgoals and cross their fingers. A reverse on the goal line? That's terrible. Reverses need to be run between the 40s and not at the goal line. Shame on the coaches for calling that.I've been saying for years on this board that the responsibiltiy for winning is in the hands of the offense. If the other team scores 50, the offense needs to score more. If the other team scores 24, the offense needs to score more. People who play defense do not have enough talent and brains to win games on their own. If they had hand/eye coordination, they would be on offense...If they had brains, they wouldn't be on defense.

Offense came up short. They went from scoring touchdowns to fieldgoals. Trick plays on the goal line......

What have you seen in Rogers that makes you think he would be any better? That goes for everyone else who is calling for him as well. I'm not here to defend Jacq....I 'm just here to protect the Zips against the Browns fan mentality of NE Ohio. The Zips will be 4-4 after next week and only have to win two of the remaining four to be bowl eligible and you guys want to start an experiment like this is some sort of science project or something. This is D-1A freaking football, not a Friday night watching St. V-M play (insert team here). Let's not deploy the same logic that has turned the Browns into what they are today. Look at tosu, they listened to their fans (mostly Browns and Bengals fans) and changed QBs and now they can't score an offensive TD against a 2-4 Purdue. Pryor is simply not ready to play yet. Do any of you think that will work against PSU?If the balls are catchable, why does he have to take anything off the speed of the throw? It would seem to me that if a ball is catchable and the guy misses it, we should be calling for a new receiver in lieu of a new QB because a bad receiver is bad regardless of whether Jacq or Rogers is the QB.If Akron can score 34+ points per game for the remainder of the season, the can win three more games. OU, Temple, Eastern (I saw then on TV yesterday and they are horrible and Akron WILL win next week and be 4-4 with 4 remaining) and maybe Toledo can't keep up with that scoring pace. My prediction was they would only win five and I will stick by it, but six is not out of the question. With the way the MAC is this year, winning the remainder of the games is not out of the question, but neither is losing the remainder of the games.

What if he plays and lays an egg?

It may not have been his fault, but it sure does look like one of his finishes. The ability to put up a lot of points in the first three quarters with a stagnant fourth was always the trademark of an Owens offense.

bigzipguy captures exactly how to lose a football game. Some say 34 points(or whatever we had) is enought for the defense to win the game. I say there are never enough points and loses are almost 100% of the time the result of the offense not scoring enough points to win.I only watched the scoring trend because I could not see the game. When we went from scoring touchdowns to fieldgoals, I knew the Zips were going to lose.

Only if a Browns fan controls the on/off switch.....

The following questions need answered. 1. When the substance bas banned, who was notified at UofA? How did the communication take place and who was informed?2. How are the changes in banned substances communicated to the players?3. Was there enough time between the communication and the test for the substance to leave the body?The job of the NCAA is not to communicate to the players because there are too many to communicate to. The job of the NCAA is to communicate changes to the member institutions. The members then need to communicate those changes to the student/athletes.If the school doesn't have a leg to stand on, it if mostly possible that the information want communicated to them and they did not pass it along. Or, Bain was not paying close enough attention to his communications. Either way, the kid has a broken foot and wouldn't play anyhow.

someone who reads the articles :oIt's all I have left after the other pages are stuck together.

Do what I did and vote Libertarian. It is the only party promoting freedom and liberty. I also wrote my own name in for US Senate...chuckled the entire time.

I voted toss up because Vegas didn't build all of those casinos on us winning our bets.

Do the UofA a favor and throw away that business card and don't bring up NCAA violations again.

His title? Doesn't Zippy have a pouch? Male kangaroos do not have a pouch. Only UofA and U of Colorado have female mascots.

Zero? I'd like to hear you back this up with evidence. If NCAA and University rules prohibit the dissemination of this information to the public, wouldn't they be acting with integrity?

Isn't it obvious? Zippy is clearly the class of college sports. Using her again this year to embarrass the rif-raff of the other schools' mascots is just unfair.This reminds me of an old story. One year, Playboy ranked the top 20 party schools in America and the previous year WVU won and was not even in the top 20 the following year. Next to the school that won Playboy placed an * and at the bottom of the poll had a line saying, "Sorry WVU, we don't deal with professionals". Clearly that is what is going on here.

The results are there? Getsy only got us there as a fluke (as much as I loved being there cheering on the Zips, we really lucked out getting to the MACC beating the three way tie-breaker against Miami and BG). He has been lucky so far in that Can't st sucks as bad as army and syracuse, but if he continues to get sacked and throw INTs, Blowing Green and company are going to run all over us.Yes, the results are there. Please see DrZ's post. In addition to DrZ's post, 3-3 is much better than I think anyone expected. How many more wins would this team have with either Frye or Getsy? One, maybe....What happened when Getsy got to the MACC? Why is the addiction for losing so great on this board that nobody can seem to remember that Getsy probably played the greatest second half of QB in school history in the biggest game in school history and actually won the game?
