EASTERN MICHIGAN (3-2) The buzz: Why is a team with three wins ranked this low? Two of the wins have come against FCS foes and the other against Akron, which, right now, is the equivalent of a FCS foe. Next game: Saturday at Toledo Ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 At least K.E.N.T. is ahead of us!It's time to go out and win to get off this list for the rest of the season! Go Zips!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's also sad to think that over the last couple of years, we've traded places with EMU. Instead of EMU, I'm afraid that we've become the team in the MAC that all of the other fans look to and say, "We need a win. Good thing we have them coming up on our schedule".

The have two wins against I-AA teams. They have been destroyed in two "rent-a-win" games. The were destroyed by Toledo. They beat Akron and CMU who have a combined win total against D-1A teams of....let's see....one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, EMU knocked off Western this past weekend (with 9 passes and 50 rushes) and now find themselves in poisiton to be bowl eligible (!) with Buffalo and Can't still on their schedule.

Big Zip Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Took a look at the Sagarin Rankings today....182 for Akron. 164 for Can't. EMU is 87 believe it or not and this week's guest CMU comes in at 124. For the record Toledo comes in the highest at 34 followed by Temple at 47.The rest of our schedule....Miami 127, Buffalo 126 and WMU 69. I know outside of the top 30 or so these ratings probably mean little, but it does have Akron dead last in the MAC which I"m guessing is pretty spot on and has a number lower level Div. 1 schools ahead of us including YSU at 135. This is so embarassing...how is this acceptable to the administration? Tell me where they see progress from this team. I continue to re-new my tickets each year, but I promise you that I will not next year. This will be my last year as a season ticket holder and I agree with the others that say if you re-new your accepting what this administration is putting forth and deserve what you get on the field.

MDZip Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Well at least we won't be a part of this Bottom 10. ESPN Starts College Basketball Bottom 10 column. And with Coach Bowden (the Anti-nello) now in the mix, hopefully those days of being a regular in the football one will soon disappear.

johnnyzip84 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Somehow, we managed to climb (fall?) to #7 after week one. ZW (welcome back, BTW ) will enjoy the #1 selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Down to #8, and this will be the LAST time you'll see "Akron" and "Bottom 10" mentioned by me or ESPN for the foreseeable future. BTW, check out #10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
