Captain Kangaroo Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I'll be there, probably pulling into the lot around around 4:30pm. I believe the lovely Mercedes takes the stage at 5pm, so I should be in good shape.Zips 42 Toledo 39Igor does his Alcorn impersonation, hitting a 56 yarder at the final gun. To set up the play, the Zips take the ball to the 29 yard line. We have 12 men in the huddle, so it moves back to the 34. A subsequent false start moves it back to the 39...then Igor works his Voodoo Magic!Johnnyzip84 relives his youth...rushes the field...trips over some stadium rubble, and breaks his hip. Alex Allen lends him a crutch. Quote
Aaron Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I'll be there for certain, but may not get there until the band is kicking off pre-game. I'm looking forward to our first 'playoff' game tonight! Quote
bUAkronG Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I will definitely be there.I predict another strong game from us with our usual 4th quarter woes but I still think the Rockets will come up short in the end and we win.Zips 37Rockets 32 Quote

Call me crazy, but I'm going to predict:Zips 45Rockets 10 Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I'm leaving for the RB right now. Got work off for this big game. Zips by 25 today. Quote
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I'll be there rooting on the roos. Come on Zips, let's win out!SeeTeeZip Quote
akronad Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Unfortunately, I have a meeting tonite that will run well past 8:00.Knowing our penchance for 4th quarter collapses and Toledo's incentive since Tom is leaving , I am forecasting a very close game. The Zips will prevail by the slimmest of margins, 34-33. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 The Leakin actually has TWO stories on tonight's game. The 1st covers the Zips "second season" while the 2nd discusses UT RB Morgan Williams from Canton McKinley.1st Link2nd Link Quote
g-mann17 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I believe that refreshed O-line and D-line along with Bruce having time to go out and buy a pair of hands will be the big turning point. Jeremy Bruce 115 yds 2 TDs in an Akron win over Toledo... 31-13 Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 The players are hungry. They have it set in their minds that this is their chance to win the East. They have worked on fundamentals that they were sketchy on in the first half of the season, and they have had 18 days to prepare for the Rockets.We will win tonight. Quote
Zipmeister Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I will not be in attendance, but will be there in spirit. Not sure of the exact score, but pretty sure Akron wins by 14. Quote
bobbyake Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Like a lot of other students, I will be in class. I really despise these weekday games. They make me ANGRY!!!!! Quote
PB1719 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Zips, 45Rockets, 27JD finally wins two in a row!!! The players are fired up, the hardest part of the schedule is behind them, and two weeks of rest. It's time to claim a bowl berth ladies and gents... Quote
Quickzips Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 This game looked like a blowout for the 15 minutes, now... 21-10 and we've got a ballgame. Can someone please inform these guys that the game is in fact 60 minutes long. Quote
PB1719 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I wish there was a live feed of the game, it's not even displaying any stats on sportsline or fox Quote
PB1719 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 It is live on ESPNUI don't get ESPNU in Kuwait, lol Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 If it's any consolation, I don't get ESPNU here in my hotel in Houston, TX or any of the nearby sports bars, either. Hopefully, someone is enjoying my empty seat in the Rubber Bowl tonight. Quote
ZippyAlum Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Akron is up 26-16 with 7:50 left in the third. Quote
ZippyAlum Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Zips up 33-23. Weird score, huh? 3:00 left in the 3rd. Quote
ZippyAlum Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Akron 40-23 12:43 left in the game. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Zips up 33-23. Weird score, huh? 3:00 left in the 3rd.Lemon returned a blocked PAT about 98 yards for 2 points. Quote
bobbyake Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Watching the game on TV, does not look like there are many people at the Rubber Bowl. 6,000 to 9,000. Wish I could have gone but didn't get out of class until 10:00 and the game is too late to bring the family. Quote
bUAkronG Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Great game for the Zips. We were very effective offensively. Our defense concerns me however. I thought Jacq lead the offense exceptionally and the O-Line was on fire allowing Kennedy to rush for 150 some odd yards. DK had a great game. He was very patient. I think the Zips can build off this win and hopefully come out with their third win in a row next thursday!I do not recall reading anywhere about an Andre Jones injury. He certainly did not play today. Any one have info on AJ? Quote
