Blue & Gold Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) You know what really grinds my gears? It's that Joe Akron was relatively out in force on Saturday. I've been waiting for 25+ years for Akron to embrace their team & I was very happy with the crowd on Saturday. GoZips.com has the game's attendance listed at 22,437. I doubt it was that high, but it was a nice crowd & the Zippers barely gave them anything to get excited about... even to the point of getting blow out... by Miami?!?!

Oh well, who does post actual "attendance" anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting those pictures. I can say that the west side filled out quite a bit more after that picture was taken. I couldn't see the east side as that's where I was sitting (upper GA).

The west side pic was taken at the beginning of the game when the team ran out on the field just before kickoff. The east side was taken in the 2nd quarter. What I observed was the east side crowd diminishing after the 85° sun came out in full force and many people followed me to the shade of the press box side. Regardless, they aren't 22,000 there but the attendance figure always seems to be 10,000 over anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD UA 2015 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 For some perspective- in 2015, the record was 3-5 on Oct 31st. We had lost to BG by 40 something points. Turned out to be a nice season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Interesting point made by coach Bowden in his presser this week. He had some freshman on the Nebraska kickoff. They don't know for sure if that game is going to count against them or not. They don't have clarification yet. He said he needs to make a phone call this week.

Section210Zip Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I just heard about this on Sirius. They said if he is saying stuff like this and he is going to look this bad, then he must know he is on his way out at the end of the season.
