First 2013 Bodybag Revealed: Akron
Filed under:
we'll try, but no promises
Michigan's got that return date with UConn in 2013 scheduled so there were never going to be any cool surprises when it came to Michigan's two TBA opponents that year. But they must be scheduled. According to Ohio.com, the first has been revealed: Akron on September 14th.
At the moment Akron Buckeyes are terrible. They lost to the Akron State Golden Bobcats, an instate rival, 42-0 and followed that up by losing to Temple, which is Temple, 41-3. Last year they were 1-11. They've got two years to stop being just unwatchably horrible, but at best they'll be a middling MAC team by then.
You may carry on not really caring about the details of the 2013 schedule.

The first game of 2013 will be eastern. I've noticed Michigan has played eastern every other year. 2005,2007,2009, and Saturday.

Akron is worse than Baby Seal U. They truly could end up as the worst DI football team in the country this year. I'd rather see UM play a team from just down the road from Akron - Mount Union, one of the kings of DIII. They would put up a better fight than Akron.

Mount Union would be outstanding. But they win so much I don't think they'd agree to a game with us knowing it would most certainly put an "L" in the record books for them.

Hey I've been going to Akron games since I learned to walk. Sure they're terrible and that but those were the best times. I remember many years ago when the number 1 ranked Viginia Tech came in with Michael Vick as their QB and Akron gave them a game. Couldn't believe they ever agreed to play at Akron but whatever.
I'll have to score tickets to this and rock both gear.
But yes fear level should be .01.
Sadly I've stopped going to Akron games since they built their new stadium and started charging like a normal division 1 college team. It shows in attendance as well since there's usually only about 5k people there and maybe 100 students.
Pathetic.
What if when the hatches finally open out of the UFOs come thousands of 100ft Native American Indians? We're going to be watching like "F%&# those are huge Indians! Please tell me they're not huge Indians."

They are the Zips. However, their (physical) mascot is a Kangaroo (Fear the Roo). I see it on signs, busses, etc. once or twice a week when I am in Akron. I don't understand it either (nor do I know what the heck a Zip is.) I think they call the Kangaroo mascot Zippy, but this does not really satisfy me.

Believe it or not, they were actually called the Zippers until 1950. Any wonder they changed the name? Still not great, though. (The first time I heard an announcer mention them years ago, I thought they were called the Zits!)

Don't underrate Temple. There went to a bowl last year and nearly beat PSU. They return a lot starters from last year’s team including Bernard Pierce, who would be a Heisman hopeful if he played for a more well-known program.

Is there still talk of playing that UConn game in some bigger stadium than at UConn? I recall talk of playing in some NYC area stadium, which for us New Yorkers would be awesome.

There is talk, but UConn has pretty much said they aren't interested in NYC games, which is the reason ND cancelled that series. That game will be in Hartford.

...which is funny because the whole reason UConn dumped a ton of money into football to go D-I was to try and capitalize on the large alumni base in the NYC market and displace Syracuse (really) as the 'default' New York home team for college football. If Michigan wants a big stadium, I'd bet they could sell a decent number of seats in Foxboro, which is not especially far from Storrs.

Being in New Haven, I'd vote for Michigan doing that. Seating capacity is much bigger than the Hartford stadium, although the facilities are a little old school (meaning primitive).

as to your question, yes, i saw western last week. i also paid to see us play bowling green and delaware state, and those three stinkbombs did absolutely nothing to prepare us for anything.
go ahead and pay whatever you like, just count me out.

So, would a fear level of less than 1 be acceptable for this game?
