NC State Beats another ranked team

NC State was also without cornerback A.J. Davis for the Akron game. Different QB, starting CB, different outcome? ESPN didn't do Akron any favors at the start of last night's game when they zeroed in on Kennedy's elbow possibly being on the ground before the ball crossed the goal line. I'll keep the win of NCST 'cause I just wonder if we DID peak in week 2!NO doubt Amato is 'the chest.' The guy sure seems proud of his rack!

NC state winning does look good for us regarless who played diff. last night then against us. Unfortunately it does not mean any thing because we lost twice. if we dont win out the rest there is no show at post season
Not true. We win out and we have a solid chance at one of the MAC's bowl bids.Can we win out? Not if our offense doesn't get their act together...or the defense plays another game like K.e.n.t. But, it is very realistic that we get a bowl bid if we win-out. The 15K+ we brought to Detroit last season coupled with wins vs BCS schools makes (or will make) us very attractive to the bowls.

My prediction of the week: If UA wins 7, they're going bowling. Just go 5-2 the rest of the way & there will be a bowl game.If past years are any indication, it's quite possible there won't be enough bowl eligible teams (7 wins in a 12 game season) to fill the 64 bowl slots. In '04 when MSU got jobbed @ Hawaii, the Zips were the only team left out of a 58 team bowl slate. Good chance this year that any and all 7 win teams are bowling.

With 12 games this year, there will be plenty of teams that make it. Akron is not going bowling even if they win out. The only teams going bowling this year from the MAC are the division champs and maybe NIU or WMU, which ever one does not win the West.One thing they are going to look at is your average home attendance is going to be barely 15,000 and that is not attractive, especially when you get outdrawn by Can't and Youngstown.I said this a year ago...you guys are a flush in the pan. We are not really playing well right now, but one bad season does not ruin tradition....and one good season does not make one.

6-6 goes bowling this year from the bcs conferences. It was passed earlier in 2006.

Don't get too excited rocket. While we probably won't be bowling this year, it's not the end of the world. If we would have had the season many expected us to, we probably would have been saying bye bye to JD. The guy can coach and is still learning like the rest of his young recruits. This just means we have his services a lot longer. The zips will be fine, and soon we'll be saying bye bye to the rubber bowl and moving into a brand new facility that may very well rival the glass bowl. We just need to figure out how to finish this season with some positives. Rome wasn't built in a day my friend.Also, in regard to this "tradition" that you speak of, isn't Miami supposed to be a school renowned for "tradition"? It sure does jack squat for them. Its like once they start losing nobody cares to see the sweaters anymore. No school in the MAC really has "tradition" and nobody ever said that we do. "Tradition" draws 110k per game come rain and shine. BCS fans would laugh at that statement. So really, flaming on our board while our team is struggling tends to wreak of inferiority complex. Things aren't goin the way you want it to either so you have to brag about your so called "tradition". The fans on this board bleed Akron blue and gold and could care less about Toledo's so called tradition.

Tradition is relative. Obviously, there are a lot of schools with tradition that do not draw 110k a game. In the MAC, Toledo has a tradition of success. In the Big-10 or nation, OSU has a tradition of success. In Division III, Mt. Union has a tradition of success. To compare everyone to the n'th degree is not realistic.And, not to split hairs, but it is, "...couldn't care less", not, "...could care less."

The only tradition Toledo has is having a fat ass for a coach! "I need a Twinkie" says Amstutz"I want my baby back ribs, Chili's baby back ribs" sings Amstutz.I can't believe that this dimwitted douche bag from Toledo is on here thinking that he is better than everyone else talking smack after his team just got waxed by Pittsburgh 45-3. Why don't go riot like the rest of the tampons from Toledo and quit playing Tummy Sticks with your Pocket Rockets you freaking flamer! :rolltide:

Why are you jumping to conclusions? If zipsbandman cares to any degree at all about tradition, it is possible to care less. If ZPM does not care at all (Zero), than it is impossible to care less. There is no caring less then Zero, it is impossible to care less than that amount. Let me put it to you in terms you can probably relate: Toledo Rockets couldn't have less sex. This means that you don't have any sex and therefore can not have less sex than not having sex at all. :wall: For the Zips fan: We could have less sex because We are getting laid all the time and therefore have some action to spare. :rolltide: You bore me with you subpar intellect.

That Crackron education is really paying off for you. Your reasoning skills are one notch above 5th grade. Go back to your trailor park!You guys crack me up on this board. 10 months ago you are spouting off about sold out stadiums, Big East, national rankings, etc.. I told you not to put the cart before the horse and to be realistic. Now, you guys are seeing that it takes much more than one 7-6 season to build something.Can't wait for you guys to come to the Glass Bowl!Toledo 36CrAkron 14End of season records:Toledo 11-3CrAkron 4-8Average Attendance:Toledo 22,435CrAkron 14,781

If Toledo Rocket fans don't have sex ... where do all these dummies come from? :lol::lol::lol::lol:
