ZipAnalyst Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 "STATE COLLEGE, Pa; Sept. 2, 2000 -- A veteran, poised and prepared Toledo team defeated Penn State 24-6 on Saturday before a stunned audience of 94296 ... "This from a google listing in response to a googling "Toledo beats Penn State."Will history repeat on September 4, 2006 with another MAC team beating the Nittany Lions? Or, are the Zips and their fans planning on being sacrificial lambs?Took a weekend trip to my hometown Gettysburg, PA (passing by Beaver Stadium as a backdrop as I headed south on 220) All my Gettysburg kin are Penn State fans. They had questions aplenty. It is clear to me that they think PSU will smoke the Zips on the arm of their quarterback.My response: "The Zips have a pretty good q-back of their own and the defense is getting better and better. Don't be surprised if the Nittany Lions get Toledoed by the Zips." Will I have to eat my words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msopher Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I hope not. My whole family is Penn St fans and I want Akron to kick their ass. That day in 2000 was so special for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipsrifle Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'll just take a close game. The last two times we played there we were demolished! Very embarrassing for a Zips fan. I'm looking for some consistency this year. NO, not the sucking kind of consistency either. We should play the BCS Schools tough, hopefully come out with a win or two, and dominate our division.

I really didn't expect that. I think the Zips have a shot, but I was surprised to hear that some of them thought so, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
