Balsy Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Much better than that Munch interview. Who could listen to that yuk yuk bs? Agreed. Though it was nice to have the local yuk yuk ESPN Cleveland, State Ohio University honk talking Zips football for once. Quote
Dr Z Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Interactive Bowl GuideI like the audio clips added for each game on pages 12-15. Off to Boise Edited December 18, 2015 by Dr Z Quote
RowdyZip Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I'm not sure this is worth a new thread, but where is everyone watching the game? I see the U had endorsed Johnny J's in the valley as the "official" spot. Myself and about 3-4 friends are going to watch at the Score across from the stadium. If you haven't been, join us. Good food, decent beer selection and very pro-Akron. Quote

My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it.I am planning to watch it with some buddy's from college. Watching it actually IN Akron sounds like a good idea. Quote
UA1987 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 While watching the game what are some good potato treats:Latkes... It's potato soup weather... scalloped potatoes, chili fries, are sweet potato's allowed? JoJo's and canned brown gravy (nah) Quote

Dr Z Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Vegas "Experts" Pick Bowl Games Will Harris of Sports InsiteThe defenses are way ahead of the offenses in this one, and we really like going under in games involving teams with Akron's profile: decent defense paired with an offense that's effective in controlling time of possession but doesn't actually produce much, especially in the areas of explosive plays and finishing drives. Pick: Under 47.5 Score: Utah State 17, Akron 10 Chris Fallica of Sports InsiteUtah State's season completely went south following its huge upset win over Boise State. Now the Aggies face an Akron team which hasn't been bowling since 2005, boasts a very experienced defense - one which rates higher efficiency wise than many Power 5 teams -- and won four straight just to get here. They will be very motivated to play. Not sure I can say the same thing for Utah State, which considers a trip to Boise as just another conference road trip. Defense and the running and throwing of Thomas Woodson lead Terry Bowden's Akron team to an upset win. ATS pick: Akron Score: Akron 28, Utah State 20 Quote
LZIp Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I agree with Chris' take. Coach Bowden keeps saying this is our "Super Bowl" and I wholeheartedly believe thats the attitude the team has. USU is tired of going there. Ripe for an upset! Quote

zipsoutsider Posted December 19, 2015 Report Posted December 19, 2015 Utah State football: Terry Bowden turns Akron into a bowl team"...Heading into their game against Utah State, the Zips are 7-5, including four straight wins. Between 2009 and 2011, which was Bowden's first season, they were a combined 3-33.Akron, it seems, has made a bigger comeback than Star Wars...." Quote

zipsoutsider Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Zips go bowling.... for real (and charity) https://youtu.be/yj5pOnz9YiI Quote
zipsoutsider Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 I have read and heard a lot of mocking comments that seem to almost make it seem like the Zips got the least attractive bowl bid possible. The looks on these kids faces tell a different story. Seems lime they are having a great time. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 A nice collection of practice photos here:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1233491023331640.1073741838.145583715455715&type=3 1 Quote
Balsy Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Gotta teach Dylan to write better. But ANY bowl, was extremely important for this program. There were a lot of mocking comments, even members on this board who said we shouldn't accept it because of the cost. What it does for this team, considering where it's come from and what the 5-year seniors have had to endure, this bowl is is the best thing that could have happened for the Zips.

Jrship35 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Saddest thing is that many of the guys are saying that the love they are getting in Boise is off the charts better than they get at Akron ................. Good for them, they deserve every minute of it Quote

Good for them, they deserve every minute of itTo that, I would say - if a player bought into the Zips program over the past few seasons, they didn't do it for the fan adulation. As long as Larry Williams does what he was brought here to do, these 2015 Zips will have laid the groundwork for the future Zips to have a better opinion of the Akron fan base.If Boise State plays in the 2021 Ohio Polytechnic Polymer Bowl, I bet the Akron fans will treat them great.
