UA1987 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) All time series has WMU with 14 wins Akron with 3 (one in 1938?). As most have heard 2007 was maybe the most exciting Akron football finish of all time as Andre Jones ran back a punt for a TD and a 1 point win (39-38) as time ran out in Kalamazoo. We also had several of our worst defeats by this team, especially the game coached by Ianello in 2011. Last year was very disappointing too. WMU is very good, but is Akron on the rise despite the loss of two of our best players? Maybe, as 33 (or more counting all) other starters on the O, D, and special teams appear to be getting better as the season rolls on. Let's hope it's a good game to watch and Akron has a shot at winning at the end. Go Zips! Edited October 11, 2017 by UA1987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, technically it was a free kick, following WMU taking a safety and hoping to hem the Zips in their own end as time ran out. It didn't work (monumentally)!

The 2011 shellacking by the Broncos has to be the absolute nadir in Zips history. 68-19 in a game that was not even remotely that close. Luckily, I did not travel to KZoo that day, but I was in Infocision the year prior when Western railed us 56-10. The Zips defense made Juan Nunez look like Jerry Rice. Brian Wagner recovered a fumble for a touchdown that game or it would have been 63-3. I have to confess, I saw the Wagner play on TV from Pints. I had already gotten beyond disgusted and left. I hate Western. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just dropped Spectrum as my ISP so I want to let the dust settle on that for a minute. The basic/standard is through a bulk contract with my homeowners association. I can always listen to Steve/Brad/Joe too. Edited October 13, 2017 by ZippyRulz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Akron and Western Michigan face major tests. By Elton Alexander, The Plain Dealer The Zips (3-3, 2-0) are both the surprise of the league and the biggest puzzle. They have lost to Penn State, Iowa State and Troy, with competitive efforts vs. ISU and Troy. And they have defeated three weak sisters -- Arkansas Pine Bluff, Bowling Green and Ball State. Traveling to WMU should tell if Akron, led by senior quarterback Tommy Woodson (1,124 yards passing, 8 TD), is a serious threat to become bowl eligible and contend for a division and overall 2017 MAC title.

Captain Kangaroo Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Quote The Zips (3-3, 2-0) are both the surprise of the league and the biggest puzzle. I don't see how were're the "surprise of the league?" We've beaten no noteworthy opponent. 3-3 is where just about anyone would have predicted us at this point. I don't think we're a "puzzle" either. We-are-who-we-are...an essentially star-free team that, when we play mistake-free football can be competitive with anyone at our level. Our defense continues to improve, and will be near the top of the MAC (3rd...4th best...) when all is said and done. Our offense needs to step it up. We need to start consistently scoring 30+ if we want to have a winning season. I'm not puzzled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 The biggest surprise is probably Buffalo. Even in their losses they were very competitive. Its early but teams are performing a bit as expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsy Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I have one easy-free way for you guys! Okay, if you go to CBS Sports Network it gives you the option to put in your TV provider, one option is Hulu. If you go to Hulu, you can sign up for a free-trial which includes a 7-day free trial of the TV service (that includes CBS sports network as one of the options). The terms and conditions say that you will be billed after the expiration of your 7-day free trial. I recommend making an account, and canceling it shortly after. You will still be given the 7-days for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 wdjkhhasdkh. I just hurried home from my concealed carry class ( @Balsy ). And I find out its a friggin weather delay. Kato being out sucks. I like using him as a change of pace, especially in what seems will be a tough game to pass in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
