Zippity Doo Dah

No time, this week, for a full review of tonight's opponent, the Akron Zips. Suffice it to say we're favored by 7 points. Yes, you read that right.

Don't know how informed that is. I've heard that if you know what's going on, betting on MAC football is easy money. Not sure if the line knows that two of our top skill players, Willie Geter and Corey Partridge are not expected to play. Reports are that Tyler is near 100%.

Anyhoo, Akron has lost to Temple and Buffalo--not the shame that we thought early in the year. The Temple loss was at home. They have also won at WMU (not the coup we expected early in the year) and beat Kent. They're having trouble scoring points, which is good news for us.

My assessment is that we shouldn't be -7 to anyone in our conference right now. I'll be happy if we can gut out a win before what promises to be a sparse crowd at the Doyt. Early in the year I thought we were a year away. I just think a winning season and a strong finish would be a great boost to making next year a Championship season.
