The Zips are finally #1 in a poll

congrats to Akron

GO FLASHES!

Wow three MAC teams in the top ten and three more waiting to get in.

This was what I needed today. Although that is a terrible representation on the MAC.

Wow, so 2 of our 3 wins are against teams that made the bottom 10 and the other is against a 1-AA school. I feel much worse about our record now!

If I'm not mistaken, it may actually get worse for UA in the next couple of seasons. Recently, I read an article regarding their troubles regarding the number of scholarships that will be available to them in the next year or two. (I hope I'm getting this right!) Between graduations, and defections, they could be looking at a very rough time of it in the coming years! I don't have much sympathy for them, but when you consider the money that was dumped into their new stadium, what a time to stink!!hahahahahahahaha GO FLASHES!!!!!!!! As a side note, I'm expecting to see good crowds at Dix Stadium in the next few weeks. The players need our vocal support, and I plan on delivering!!!!

Be thankful ...I guarantee you would feel a whole lot worse if we would not have won those games.

Which is a not-at-all unlikely scenario... ie. last season when we lost to an equally bad Akron squad!

Truth be told Fanatics, I don't think we are making a big enough deal about the hated Zits and their god awful season. Let's pretend the cleat were on the other foot. Do you think we would get a moment's rest from their postings? I say we all surf over to ZipsNation.org and start our own thread. Oh, and while we are there, let's remind them of the 2 beat downs they got at the hands of Geno and the boys last year.

Don't let the irony be lost. It could be ZIP and 12 before it's over.

Actually 3 wins in a row for Geno over Keith.

Making a big deal would be so much easier had Kent State not struggled against them. I hate to knock any win, especially in football, and especially against Akron, but given how awful Akron is Kent State's victory was oddly unsatisfying, to say the least.

That would require me to sign up for an account on their message board. I have some dillemas with that. I think my computer would melt.
