Ebola.

in the last 12 games played Akron is 8-4 and Ohio is 4-8.

Hope you are right Bcat.

Greetings Bobcat fans.

I'm looking forward to a crisp fall day for football at Peden tomorrow. As discussed on other threads here, the football following at UA hasn't exactly reacted quickly to the recent signs of improvement. But a number of the die-hards who somehow made it through the Ianello disaster will be travelling to most of the away games this year.

Just wanted to clear up the recent Zip rushing attack. It's actually been pretty decent the last 3 games (Pitt 169 yards, EMU 197 yards, Miami 151 yards). As they say regarding the market, that's no guarantee of future success. I fully expect Ohio to try to stuff the box and blitz Woodson to see how he handles it.

The Zip defense has been very good aside from when the Blundering Turd came to the Info. They're best when they play aggressively, but when they sit back in coverage they can give up yards through the air. That's obviously concerning to me since the Bobcats put up big passing numbers against BG.

I've always been impressed (and envious) with the size of your fan-base. I'm not sure UA will ever get there, but I'd like to see what a few years of consistent winning would do.

I'm also looking forward to stopping at Jackie O's after the game no matter the outcome. Maybe I'll see some of you there?

I've long thought that the biggest inhibitor to attendance at Akron - and Kent - is the campus environment. Both are largely commuter schools, with thousands of students leaving campus on weekends. By contrast, most Ohio students remain on campus on weekends. I believe that strengthens bonds with Alma Mater and increases the chance that students who become alumni will become lifelong fans. Me? I'm a season ticket holder and looking forward tomorrow morning to my usual 165-mile drive from my North Canton driveway to Peden.

You might.

BTW, I get to Canal Fulton fairly often. Two friends live there. The library has had me do several book programs. And I much enjoy taking guests to The Dragon Fly Tea Room.

And we've scored on either of our first two drives in only three games, and we won all three.

It might be easier saying, who is available. Way too many injuries.

I love the way A.J. runs. He shows so much heart fighting for every yard

Good game. Good luck the rest of the season.

The staff and players have not quit. There will be those who choose not to enjoy it. Feel free to manually apply an ignore feature to their nay saying.

A lot of things are clearer when you're looking at it through a camera than they do down on the field. I don't think that at the time Wells realized he was out of bounds when he made the hit. After the play, an Akron player bumped him, and said some things. I think Wells thought the penalty was called for that. I'm sure he'll be asked to explain it to the coaches, though.


I agree, there is no quit, and I said before the season, so long as they keep playing hard, I'm behind them 100%.

As for the win, it was a very hard fought defensive battle. I like defensive battles better than MACtion, so I enjoyed the game.
