After the lightly attended 4 pm game, I hope that there is a big crowd on Saturday night.

If Bowling Green defeats Buffalo on Saturday night, this November 5 game is likely to be the last game that Adam Najem, Brad Ruhaak, and the other 3 seniors will likely ever play on cub Cadet field.

Also according to MAC website, the BGSU v Buffalo match is at BG. Another Zips fan told me it was at Buffalo, but I didn't verify. This is not good news.

Great seeing Ritchie Layrea and Anthony Ampaipitakwong among alumni in the crowd last night supporting the Zips. We are so fortunate.

 

Definitely will be rooting for Impact Montreal and GK Evan Bush v NYRB in MLS playoffs today. Also looking forward to seeing the USMNT roster announcement at 5:10 pm today for the matches this Friday in Columbus vs Mexico and the Nov 15th match in Costa Rica. #ZipsinthePros

Shucks!  There's another game then if I recall correctly...Hope my American Outlaws Honolulu watering hole has wifi!

 

How is the weather in Ohio?  I saw a note that it was 26 degrees in C'bus.  Is that possible?  Brings to mind the first round NCAA game vs UW-Green Bay when we had freezing rain.  1979?  Coach Dowdy hired a helicopter to fly low over the field before the game to prevent freezing.  I hope the only thing cold around me this afternoon is my brew.
