UAZipster0305 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I watched part of the App St game last night, and the halftime show previewed the top-25 games for this week. When it came to our game, the thing they highlighted most was our 0-23 record against ranked opponents. This obviously neglects our win over Marshall at the Rubber Bowl. Anyone think they got this misinformation from our own local media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should expect FAR MORE from our local paper, and the reporter who's been covering us for a long time and makes a living from journalism.

zipsoutsider Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I have noticed several articles saying something to the effect that WMU plays Akron as a ranked team for the first time. I am wondering if GT misunderstood those other articles or if he really just got it that wrong? Either way, lazy journalism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if GT misunderstood those other articles or if he really just got it that wrong? Either way, lazy journalism. Right, I was confused about that one part too. But, the "playing a ranked team at home for the first time" is just dead wrong. Anyone at least 30 years old, even if they just have a light connection to Zips Football, is familiar with the "Leftwich Broken Leg Game" when we beat a ranked Marshall team at the Rubber Bowl. This isn't a casual Zips fans we are talking about here. It's our longtime designated writer for our major hometown paper. No excuse. Also....I thought that if the press helped us out a bit, and stated that we PLAYED and BEAT the last ranked team we played here in Akron, if could help publicize this WMU game. So, they totally dropped the ball there. Thank You ABJ !! Edited October 13, 2016 by skip-zip edit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJGood Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I clearly remember Akron hosting #10 Virginia Tech back when I was still a student and the Leftwich leg game where Marshall was #20 so this clearly is not the first time the Zips will don the home unis against a top 25 ranked team. I think it may be the first time a ranked team has come to Infocision though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are missing our game at OSU in 2011 where they were ranked #18 in the preseason poll. I think this also helps point out the big disparity in almost always having to play away games against ranked opponents. The only two we ever got at home were a victory and very close loss. So I'm going with another close loss. WMU 45-38. Edited October 13, 2016 by MDZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA1987 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) The Zips can win this game, but only if it's an all hands on deck effort. Edited October 13, 2016 by UA1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I'm going to guess the Indians 4:08PM game is going to discourage a lot of students and fans from going. Edited October 13, 2016 by kreed5120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, the Indians game is most definitely going to affect attendance, but I don't blame people for wanting to watch the Indians. I'm not sure what restrictions the University has when it comes to viewing rights, but if they are smart, they're going to be giving Indians updates throughout the game, and even show the game on some of their smaller TVs around the concourses. Again, not sure what restrictions they have, but that would be very wise. The Most Overrated Band In The Land gave the Tribe a tribute at halftime last week. The least we can do is show the game at the stadium, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Heard part of what TB was saying on Zips Live this week. He said Tommy's shoulder is injured and that it affects his throwing motion, making him less accurate. It sounds like we will see both guys, for sure this week.
