Long on enthusiasm short on talent, looks like 2 wins and hopefully a competitive team for the opening of the new stadium.

It's the MAC. I love it, but in August everyone sucks and everyone is a contender. Even the so-called top-tier MAC schools are paper thin. One injury and the entire picture is different. You can't predict this conference like you can the Big 10. However, I too have a feeling that our Zips are a notch or two below the rest of the MAC. QB is the key. If he develops, Akron goes 6-6 or 7-5...if he doesn't....2 wins sounds about right.

2 wins my ass...5-7 to 7-5 is ALOT more realistic to people who know what they are talking about.

Lets go ZIP fans get out there and cheer on your team. Yep,this is your team support them. Athletes do respond to the RA RA of the crowd. You've been to enough Cavs games to realize that.

You can even help when the Zips are on defense. If the opponent can't hear the signals called by the QB it really throws their game. Especially in those early games when all teams are still settling into a system. Those young ones are very easliy thrown off their kelter. lol.

Go have have some nice clean fun with the guys or the family on Saturday day or night. Then go to the Corral and get a greasy burger. lol

You are right - my mistake - 1 win would be plenty.

Here's hoping the enthusiasm catches and carries on throughout the season. It'd be great to close the bowl with a MAC East Championship. Go Zips!!!
