Captain Kangaroo Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 The MAC “Elite†#1) Marshall - Last week #1: Beat Miami fairly handily. Their somewhat maligned offense racked up 30+. #2) NIU: Last week #2: Waxed the Zips. Not enough to overtake Marshall, however. #3) BG - Last week #3: Absolutely killed Temple. But…so does everyone. The “Middle of the Pack†#4) Miami - Last week #4: Played a decent game in Huntington. They’re 4th…but a distant 4th to BG. #5) OU - Last week #9. Beat Kentucky soundly! Seem to be playing good defense. Very surprising! #6) Toledo - Last week #7. Gotta be getting back on track? The “Bottom Rung†#7) Ball State - Last week #5 : Beat WMU by 27!! Played a nice game vs. BC a few weeks ago. Are they for real? #8) Zips - Last week #8 – Yes…the Zips are presently the 8th best team in the MAC. Look below to see how absolutely horrible the MAC basement is! #9) CMU - Last week #10: Beat Can't. Can't still can’t kick a football. #10) Buffalo: Last week #14: Pasted George O’Leary’s UCF squad. Keep in mind UCF is paying O’Leary $700,000.00 this SEASON! “Looking to Schedule Cal-Poly or Howard Soon†#11) Can't - Last week #11: Cribbs can do everything…but kick. Can't loses another close one. The text book example of “A Team that doesn’t Know How to Win.†#12.) Western Michigan - Last week #12. I repeat…How the mighty have fallen.... #13) EMU: Lost to a 1-AA school…followed by a loss to mighty Idaho. Hoo boy. #14) UCF - Last week #7: Absolutely annihilated by a woeful Buffalo squad.

Zipsrifle Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Got to love that C-USA power FUC being last in the MAC. My MAC Comments this week, no order: Damn, I wish Miami would have taken Marshall again. Don't want to see them go out on top. Can't State - Like they said, a team that just can't win. Too bad, better than their record. CMU - I have a feeling that Kelley is going to turn this team around bigtime. I think they pulled off a upset against Can't State. Lookout for these guys in the future. Toledo - About time you beat somebody up. They are the biggest letdown in the MAC. I think that BSU probably had an off day too. BG - Can't believe that NIU beat them that bad. We'll be chasing these guys for a while. NIU - Should be in CUSA instead of UCF. Glad they aren't. OU - WTF. These guys are having a breakout year. I think we're in trouble. Buffalo - I LOVE THAT THESE GUYS DELIVERED THE SMACK TO UCF. I HATE UCF. Eastern - I didn't think that a hometown coach was a good idea. They might keep us off the ESPN Bottom ten, this week. (yea the Zips were already on it once this year ) Western - THANK GOD that they are finally getting payback for every time they play that damn song when they get a first down! Just my 2 cents.

Guest Mastodon Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Don't want to see them [Marshall] go out on top. Don't look NIU - Should be in CUSA instead of UCF. Too northern. I HATE UCF. More than Can't...or even Marshall OU - WTF. These guys are having a breakout year. I think we're in trouble. Since they beat Kentucky everyone thinks they are the class of the MAC! Kentucky= Western - THANK GOD that they are finally getting payback for every time they play that damn song when they get a first down! Dont know about the song but I'm always glad when they stink like buttcheeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 QUOTE I HATE UCF. More than Can't...or even Marshall Yea, I'd have to say that I hate UCF the most by far.....just their attitude from day one. I don't think Marshall has ever been overly cocky, we just hate them cause they win all the time. Can't, (I'll probably get shelled for this one) they are in the same boat as UA, at least for football, I've gotta say that I hope they win whenever they aren't playing the Zips. QUOTE OU - WTF. These guys are having a breakout year. I think we're in trouble. Since they beat Kentucky everyone thinks they are the class of the MAC! Kentucky OU is doing much better than I expected and though I don't expect them to win the East, (but I do hope they win this weekend ) I doubt that the Zips will be favored when they visit Athens. QUOTE Western - THANK GOD that they are finally getting payback for every time they play that damn song when they get a first down! Dont know about the song but I'm always glad when they stink like buttcheeks The "First Down" song is essentially the end of their fight song. I can't believe I acutally spent the time to torture myself to find it. This is like nails on a chalkboard to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Can't, (I'll probably get shelled for this one) they are in the same boat as UA, at least for football, I've gotta say that I hope they win whenever they aren't playing the Zips. I won't "shell" you, but I will disagree. Can't would give their left nut (probably from one of those black squirrels) to have the football "success" Akron has enjoyed over the past 9 years. We've beaten them something like 9 of the last 11 times we've played? In the past 10 years, I would guess we have 20...maybe 30 more wins than Can't? Hey, the Zips haven't set the world on fire in the past decade, but we're no where near the overall level of Can't or Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeme Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 #11) Can't - Last week #11: Cribbs can do everything…but kick. Can't loses another close one. The text book example of “A Team that doesn’t Know How to Win.†Actually, Cribbs punted in the CMU game out of the shotgun and stopped it inside the 5. The rest is accurate. Capt, sadly for us, is right. You guys are a notch above over 9 years. We are, however, .500 in the MAC in the last three years (The Cribbs/Frye Era) and I don't know what you guys are. What is your MAC record for 01-02-03? I only root against you guys when you play us or can suffer a really embarrassing defeat at the hands of say UB or MTSU, much as I'm sure you would have loved to see us get whupped by Liberty. Those are fun. But I root for you against the MAC powers, as I do all the underdogs, just to shake things up. I hope you beat Marshall and Miami. And I hope you beat the life out of UCF! I do hope CF gets it rolling and start to put up the big numbers. I'd like to see him go high in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head to head Akron has won 4 of the last 5 games vs. Can't and 8 of the last 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeme Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I was asking about MAC records over the Cribbs/Frye period. Can't State was 6-2 in '01, 2-6 in '02 and 4-4 in '03. Total 12-12. Do you have those? (No smack here, just curious. I guess I could go look it up somewhere...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
