Cute, channel this QB TFL. Don't worry you weren't going to get my donation anyhow.

I'm thinking that is function of him having the most passing yards as opposed ESPN adding insight for this specific game.

[CDMac]

hmmmm, that drive home keeps getting more interesting as we get closer to game time...

If this is the forecast that actually holds up, maybe the competitive part of the game will already be OVER before it starts pouring, and we can all go home anyway.

Are you insane 

 

In that scenario, we've gotta stay to the end to celebrate these guys taking their destiny into their hands and seizing their opportunity to get to the MACC game

 

Boo the man wanting to leave early to stave off frostbite!! 

 

EDIT: Plus, I need to stay to get my hands on that Full ROO helmet!!

Oh yeah, much better. 

[skip-zip]

Yes, I like that one much better.

 

I can see the thick band of rain stretching from Central Michigan to Central Illinois, and heading this way.  I think we should hope for a couple of gusts of East-To-West wind to try to keep it from getting here until after midnight.

Accuweather as of noon looks good

Hey Zips Fans, charge the field afterwards.

 

It's 12:10 and...

[NWAkron]

And KSUcks.

[ZipsVoice]

If we want to get out by 11:15 we need to boo the guy in the red hat that comes on the field and stays there until the TV timeout is over....GET HIM!!!!

K.ent's gonna be coming after our punts tonight. Gasser's a little slow in getting those punts off.

The last time I did that, Alcorn had just kicked the 57 yard field goal to beat Toledo in 1992, our first game as a MAC member, in front of packed Rubber Bowl for an Acme/Zip game.  

 

I was drunk, and fell over the concrete wall, with no regard for personal injury.  

 

I'm 25 years older now.  No friggin way.

Enough drink and you may just revert to your 25-year-younger self!

You might be right.  The desire will still be there, but my 30 year old body was much better equipped to handle the impact.

I wish I could be there, but no complaints that I have to watch on TV from the warmth here in Southern California. 90-95 degree highs here in the Temecula/ Murrieta area today, tomorrow, and Thursday. Maybe we put a TV outside and sit in the pool.
