Wow. What a game that was last night.

 

The Zips and their kangaroo mascot (Zippy) are headed to the Motor City Bowl on December 26 after the 31-30 come from behind win over Northern Illinois.

 

Link to Akron Beacon Journal. There's more than one story there.

 

New slogan? Fear The Roo. 0:)

 

I've always liked the Akron Zips...the U of Akron was the first to accept me into law school (I wound up at Cleveland State), so that means a lot to me.

That was fun. I hope UB comes around, it is a fun division to watch.

Me too. UB just needs to find the Reggie Witherspoon equivalent among football coaches.

 

If Akron can win, I think it lends hope to UB in the future.

UB has a LONG way to go before they can compete with the stronger programs of the MAC.

...and Turner Gill as HC might be a darn good start.

 

I remember Gill was in the Indians' farm system in the late 80s. That's right, he also played baseball (got as high as AA, I believe).
