Great job. Way to jinx the Zips. Now they will never win the game. I just keep telling myself there is no way the Zips can beat Marshall. Hope it works.

You are right, I should have never said anything! Akron is getting exposed just like the Huskies did to them, down the middle of the field on some deep routes. Stan Hill looks like the kind of precision passer that could give the Huskies fits. I would love to see a NIU Marshall MAC championship game though. Wouldnt it be fitting if Coach Novak beat Toledo and Marshall to end the year, the two teams he has yet to beat.
28-7 Marshal. Stick a fork in Akron.
If NIU beats Toledo, I hope BG beats Marshall. I do not want any other MAC team to go undefeated. If NIU and Marshall run the table, I think the GMAC will take Marshall. I believe the GMAC would be preferable to the MCB, since facing Louisville or Southern Miss would be more impressive than #7 in the Big Ten.
UNBELIEVABLE, ZIPS TIE IT!
2 dropped TD passes, 1 fumbled TD run, and 3 missed FGs for Marshall. They should be up at least 21. What a long bus ride back to Huntington if they lose in OT. Glad I kept watching.
This is the most amazing game I've ever seen, Marshall is choking big time!
Unbelievable finish! Marshall don't let the door hit you on the ****** on your way to Conf-USA
And now Terry Hoepner is BG's biggest fan...
Unbelieveable finish! 17 points in the last 3 minutes. What a comeback by the Zips. Way to go Herd! :rofl:

Terry will have to take care of his own business - they have to win in Akron to even be in position to play in Detroit.
I guess you can take that fork out of Akron. Don't I feel silly! :tomato:
We have a game to win on Tuesday before even we are in anything.
First things first.

I disagree. To you average fan, Louisville and S.Miss are no different than beating another MAC school. Beat a Big Ten team, no matter how bad, and you get some respect. Look at how a lot of people point to us beating Iowa St. last year. Iowa St. was 2-10 last year, with one of the wins coming against a I-AA team, yet people say, "you beat Iowa St., Bama, and Maryland last year." They don't say anything though about us beating, for example, Western Michigan, who was a better team than ISU last year.
Plus the MCB is closer to the major bowls, and the closer the better IMO.

Good point, and remember that the CUSA champ will be in the Liberty, so the GMAC doesn't even get their best team.
Detroit is not the most desirable December destination, but I tend to think that the MCB is the more desirable MAC bowl because it really has the full backing of the MAC and gets a lot of support from MAC fans in the area. But I'll be happy with whichever won we get, assuming we beat UT.

Plus, the game is INDOORS! No elements to worry about. I hate chapped skin!
