Three For Thursday [Golden Flashes @Zips]

[zipsoutsider]

I voted for 8+ points based on the level enthusiasm TB has been demonstrating all week. That was an emotional win, but not in the draining way that WMU was. It seemed to have the opposite effect - almost like, "We always knew we were this team and now we have finally shown people."

 

With it being senior night, there is an added desire to win big, to get kids who don't usually play into the game. 

 

I do not have a real preference for who starts at QB at this point. I think Bowden will start Woodson, though.

I wanna change my vote on who will win. I thought I punched up Akron by 7 or less not KSOO. Please change my vote!!!!

Hopefully Bowden will not over think this QB thing. Right now with Nelson he might go out as a MAC Champ. There is no next season now!  Not so with Woodson. Go Kato!

[ZippyRulz]

Start Nelson and hope for a continuation of the OU game performance; if he struggles passing, put in Woodson and play to win.

 

 

[Blue & Gold]

Yeah, I've got to think the job is now Kato's.  Woodson blew it for himself.  Only put Woodson in if Kato really struggles.  We had our most dynamic offensive performance of the year with Kato at QB (and against one of the better D's in the conference).  

 

Go Kato.  Winning the MAC East, playing in Detroit & then in the bowl game will give Kato an extra month of practice to hit the ground running next year.

If they can play like they did last week (save the penalties) they will be division champs! Can't wait for Tuesday!

 

Love the Full Roo uni's they'll be wearing ! 

 

EQ staff really does a great job!

I LOVE THE FULL ROO DECAL.

This package of logos must be at least 10 years old by now but I love how we are getting full use and our money's worth out of them. At this point the primary A-Roo may be getting relegated to the least use(?!)

I love the shirts they gave out at men's bball last weekend overall love it when we use a roo. My favorite was the fear the roo with a roo partial headshot.

Totally agree with what everyone is saying about the Logos!  LOVE using different ones throughout the year.  My personal favorite has always been the Full Roo that said The University of Akron on it, so it's nice to see the Full Roo being used for the helmet.

Guess the "Roo" is out of the bag. The EQ staff + Coach have been working on some new helmet concepts. #ZipSwag pic.twitter.com/OLzZfmEAiz

I didn't know the logos were decals.  I thought they were all separate helmets.  .

We have at least 3 base helmets (white, gold, blue) and then they update them with decals for each game.

 

I think there is a 4th base helmet that is gold metallic, not sure though.  Updating logos gives us a ton of options each week.

I guess this is why they have equipment managers.  Of course this reminds me of last week's penalty for having two #7s on field at same time.

I plan to get my hands on the matte blue Full Roo helmet after the game on Tuesday to take a good pic of it! I'm sure @Dr Z will have some stellar action shots as well.

[Cykron]

I love the Roo scary eyes.  That is so different and wonderfully scary-looking.   We can't seem to make a cyclone look scary, but you do it with a kangaroo.  Score one for the Zips.

Odd stat night, Dustin Crum leads the game with 77 yards rushing. Not a single member selected him, so no poll winners. But all Zip fans are winners. See you in Detroit.
