clarkwgriswold Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 The Zips head into the Glass Bowl on the 27th to bring a merciful end to this season. The Rockets are 6-5 and will be coming off of an 11 day break following their fun with Tuesday night football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 The game is at noon. I love it. Toledo is going to put on a football game in a clean stadium, good food, good tailgating and they field a good team. They don't give a flying poop that the OSU vs Michigan game is going on less than an hour away at the same time. Hats off to them for believing in their product. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because there's no Ohio State or TTUN fans in Toledo who would want to watch that rivalry game. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Infocision is plenty clean. 80% of the seats haven't had a butt in them in years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobwebs 😉 Actually I did wipe down some pretty dirty concession counters this June while volunteering for the Akron Marathon race series, but that was understandable after more than a year of nonuse.

I once asked the greatness that was Tom Wistercill about this and he told me that ESPN/CBS Sports/ Whoever else holds contracts controls all game times. For what its worth, he told me he would have held more night games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips86 Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I expect this game to get ugly. I know the players are playing a game they love, but I think a lot of them probably just want to get this over with as quick as possible. The coaching staff is about to be gone, they are not bowl eligible, they are bottom of the MAC...again, and so forth. Not a lot to play for. Sure, maybe their effort should be 100% every day, but I assume many of them are just checked out by now. Perhaps they will play strong to try to give Coach Rodriguez his first win as a head coach in D1? I don't know. But yeah, this will certainly be an L.

LZIp Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Zips are 28.5 underdogs, so I think Vegas agrees with @GoZips86. Tempting to take them, but I should know better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippityDoDah Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 I just want to give a shout out to the Zips Media person/team. They have had very little to work with all season but day after day, week after week, they put up posts on twitter and Instagram trying to keep people interested, motivated and engaged. Again a very challenging task given what they have available for content. Great work - Happy Thanksgiving all. Also saw for the first time yesterday Scott Van Pelt commentary called "Bad Beats". Seems like Akron football has several appearances this year and Akron basketball was featured when they lost to Ohio State. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
