Akron @ UConn

[Z.I.P.]

I just looked in at VegasInsider.com, and was really shocked to see the opening spread for Saturday's game having Akron getting 13.5 and 14 points in the underdog role by Vegas sports books.Wish I was back in Vegas (where I once lived) this week. In my opinion, Connecticut is the weakest 4-0 team in CFB history. Wins over Duke, Temple, Pitt and (forget). Let's hope they read all their press clippings this week, and fail to prepare for a good Akron team. I'm feeling very positively about the Zips' chances to pull the upset.Sorry Go Zips, I cannot offer you a ride to Storrs. I'm not driving past Makapu'u Point. And I'm definitely not taking the ferry.

Hey, Old Man, nice to hear that you are still kicking. Any thoughts of making the trekup to Fairbanks. Coach Mcfadden tells me that the Zippers are staying at the PrincessInn.I tried snagging a ride over to Bloomington without success. The UCONN game will notbe played in Storrs. They play forty miles west in East Hartford. Their stadium is threetimes as far off campus as is the Rubber Bowl.I agree with you about UCONN being quite beatable. Will this be our second "upset"in a season bound for several Zips "upets"?Got to find a local pub showing the game on TV. The Winking Lizard in Fairlawn hadthe Indiana game on. Fairly good support except for all their fem help decked outred and/or Suckeyes gear. Someone needs to supply them with a stack of "Fear The Roo"tees in size extra small.Any one headed up to UCONN I am looking for a ride and will share expenses.btw, OM, you getting all your wahines to vote for da brudda Roo?

At the beginning of the season, I saw this game as one of the road games we'll need to win to have a shot at being a .500 team this year. But I see now that Connecticut is much better than I thought they would be. Sure, maybe they are weak for a 4-0 team, but obviously someone sees something in what they are doing to list them as a 14 point favorite. Let's do what we didn't get done in Indiana this week !!!

I'm not that worried about UCONN. The biggest problem we have is we have always played so poorly when we play there. Taking an inexperienced team on the road is very difficult.Someone told me that two weeks ago, UCONN was given a gift by the referees that allowed them to barely beat Temple. Beating Pitt doesn't seem to be that difficult these days. UCONN still has to prove they are a good team and someone people should worry about.With that said, I'll continue to bask in the afterglow of beating Can't for the remainder of the week. The coaches and players have to worry about UCONN....I don't.
