ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Was at the game today, sitting amidst a sea of Kan't students opposite the Press Box side. After the first offensive drive the Zippers were awful, I mean just awful. Even though I know we won the game on the scoreboard, I actually felt on the way home as if we lost today. The O-line was overmatched, I wanted to choke Jac, who looked like the same uncertain goof ball as last year, and the Zips in general were uninspired and uninspiring. I'm still very disappointed, although somehow we pulled it out. I'll stop venting, and we'll all hope that they get their heads out of their behinds before taking on BG next weekend. For those of you who were there today, imagine THAT many students, plus the rest of the Akron-area community at home Infocision games next year. Akron sports are about to become a major community event, in general, unlike they've been before. I can't wait to be a part of it.GO ZIPS.

ZachTheZip Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Clutch plays by our biggest stars won the game. Bowser is Superman! Igor is clutch once again. B.Will was causing chaos all game and saved us a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UADavid Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Who put that lick on edelman when he pitched at the one for the td? Nice turnout by zips fans. Anyone see that weanie run past the zips bench flushing his gums before they called it back on a holding call? What an ass! We didn't outplay them, but it helps take the sting out of the Cincy game.

UADavid Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Good to see the team find a way to win a game they should and could have lost. Next step in maturing as a team?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apalmison Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 This is Robert:Was the touch down good did he actually catch the ball that won them the gameI was watching it on ESPN Gameplan. They showed a gazillion replays. It was most certainly a catch. Though the catch didn't win the game; Igor's FG won the game...along with Reed's shank. Go Zips!

zipsbandman Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 This is how I see it. Last week we lost a game where we outplayed our opponent and this week we won a game where our opponent outplayed us. We're even now.Oh and I have not seen enough :screwks: Now that we have the wheel we can find a home for it at the completed infocision stadium.

Blue & Gold Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Definitely check out the Ohio.com link; EXCELLENT pictures! Here is a picture of Bowser's absolutely amazing catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Anyone have a replay of Bowser's catch there? I was in a bad spot to see what happened. I saw him get his hands on the ball and then after that he went out of my view behind the Rowdies. I'd like to see what exactly happened there.

Zipsrifle Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Definately a catch. He had it behind the defenders head, pulled it over his helmet, put it to his chest, and then while falling to the gound, had it in his right arm. When his arm hit the ground out of the back of the endzone, the ball popped loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uafan Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Bowser Superman? He must have been trying to catch Kryptonite the rest of the game! He couldn't hold on to a ball until the end of the game. I'm sorry, but he has to show a lot more consistency before I'll like him! Saying that, it was a great catch! Does anyone know why it took so long to get the refs to review it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 They were looking for any reason it could be called incomplete. I mean, this is MAC officiating and we're Akron so I think it says somewhere in the rule book to screw us any chance they get. It was so obvious that it was a chatch that if they didn't overturn it, they realized they would never officiate again, so they had to call it a catch.

skip-zip Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 uafan...I couldn't agree more. Bowser makes a couple of athletic plays in a game, and people insist that he is the offensive savior. But, what happens in between is still very questionable. If he wants to become a star, show me some consistency. Anymore...I can't name ONE of the top three receiver that can hold onto the football with regularity. I simply can't count how many times today I stood up to cheer a great play, only to take another look and see the pass laying on the ground. Zipsrifle...I certainly understand the frustration with the officiating. Does anyone else remember the ending to a road game against OU a couple of years ago? We had a chance to beat them the year they won the East. We had an onside kick at the end of the game to get the ball one more time with a chance to win. An Akron player recovers the fumble, and actually stands up and shows the ball. The refs are still looking into the pile, don't know what to do, and award the ball to OU. JD challenges the call, and the footage CLEARLY shows the Akron player standing up out of the pile with the ball in his hands, and they DO NOT overturn the ruling on the field. This finalized my view about the pathetic nature of MAC officials, and their known tendency to not overturn calls...and that is the reason why I had no faith in them making the right call today.

He still leads the team in receptions and yardage even though Jones is right behind him. Yes he made a great catch and he should be treated like a hero right now and so should Igor.
