RubberBuzz || Akron Unleashed: Fear the 'Roo

Fear the 'Roo

I hate football, but I love Akron. So yesterday was a major dilemma for me, should I suffer through a football game on TV for Akron? I had to do it; I had to watch the Motor City Bowl. The first few minutes were okay for me. Then there was a commercial break and I flipped to a Discovery Channel special... it was all over for Akron. I did however flip the game back on towards the end. The Zips made a valiant comeback effort in the last few minutes on the game, but unfortunately lost 31 to 38 to the University of Memphis Tigers.

It's totally Akron-y though. Memphis in the fourth quarter prematurely proclaimed themselves the victors and dumped the cooler of Power/Gatorade on their coach. That of course, led to a near Akron comeback. They attempted an onside kick to try and regain possession and tie the game, but it didn't quite work. But Akron put on a good game and had nothing to be ashamed of. Much like the city, the Zips football team is out there doing it's best. We're up against tough competition, but we've got potential for a bright future. There are enough people dedicated to Zips Football and to the city that there's no doubt that nothing but great things and alfresco dining coming our way.

I love me some Akron.
