Now what am I going to watch on January 8th!?

Back atcha Cap'n. But, a chance at bringing the Zips West of the Rockies looks like an improvement to Z.I.P. Last time Akron played in Boise I was a freshman and the Broncos kicked their butts.

Akron has played Boise? I don't think it has been in my 10 year tenure with UA.

Wow. 1979 was MY freshmen year too, Z.I.P. :thumb: I didn't recall it being a major stomping, though. The source below indicates a 31-21 Boise victory (IN Boise....don't think they ever returned the favor). One silly game that got away from the Zips that year was a 28-27 loss to Indiana St (no BIRD was not on the gridiron for that one). If I remember correctly, UA blew a 27-0 lead on that one!

Well, I have to go with this authoritative source, but I was thinking it was the first game following the Pioneer Bowl loss to Montana State -- that was my freshman year. I guess I was thinking about that defeat at the hands of mighty Truman State. And I would have bet the loss was more than 3 TDs. That's what all the inhalin' from the 70's did to Z.I.P.'s brain cells. BTW -- I was at the Indiana State game -- I coulda swore it ended in a tie! Maybe it's a good thing I left before the extra point. :P

You guys are old.

True, but Z.I.P. is older! But he does have the whole "living in paradise" thing going for him :D

I got you all beat, my freshman year was 78. :D

You guys are old.
