The University of Akron is turning back the clock on Thursday when the football team plays host to Kent State with a new look in the '2005 Turkey Day Classic.'

this should be enough to put us in the title game. god damn morons with the retro crap...these must but he folks who played in 1926 with leather helmets

Akron could be naked and beat Kent State........

Answer me this. What is with the guns? That is very annoying.

You find it annoying?

Hmmmm. I was thinking of going with something along the lines of disturbing.

Not so fast....this is a rivalry game as well and Kent has NOTHING to lose. The Zips are under the gun. I am taking the Freaklings to the game and rooting for Kent big time....WMU is down 28-7 right now.

I don't see Kent beating Akron in the slightest. I of course am hoping for that as hard as I can but its not happening barring an act of God in favor of Kent.

In Falconboy's mind, everything is black and white. And also 6'9", 315 lbs.

Please indulge the confirmation of my sarcasm:

Care to indulge me on why you really disagree with my assesment on our chances on behalf of Kent St? :-\

I see your point. But Kent can ruin their arch rival's season. After the year they've had, that would really put some bounce in their step. They have been decimated by injuries this year. Doug Martin will have them ready to play and I can see Akron losing.

The old cliche---throw out the records when the rivals meet.

My point was there, but I suppose I will elaborate a bit for you if you don't get it.

There is nothing assured in college football, especially in rivalry games. For you to simply write off Kent in this game is utterly ridiculous because, as we saw last night, records, statistics, history, etc. all get thrown out the window. If past history determined the outcome of last night's game, we would have won. We came off a huge win, Toledo a huge loss, and the home team has won in this rivalry for nearly four centuries (or somewhere around there).

At the risk of employing my 2nd most hated enemy: cliche, I submit these adages to you:

-Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

-Don't look a gifthorse in the mouth.

-Don' ever, under any circumstances, poke a monkey and expect to not get hit in the eye with a handful of poop.

Edited because grammar is hard.

I was at the BG/Kent game. Kent looked like the worst MAC team I can ever remember seeing....and I have watched a lot of MAC football over the years.

Lets hope for a miracle!

How about "Any given...Thursday."

Go Kent.

Strange thing, this college football. Did anyone think that BSu had a chance to beat NIU? Anyone?

This is a rivalry game. I don't see Kent winning, but I'm not going to guarantee their loss. I'm never 100% on this game of college pigskin.

Go Kent.
