30 Games in 30 Days: #29 Morgan State at Akron

Morgan State

@ Akron



Yes I know Morgan State is an FCS school, Yes I know they have never even played Akron, and Yes I know Baltimore and Akron are some distance apart. The game itself ranked as low as any FCS game in the end I decided a MAC house warming party deserves some mention. You can bet the game will be sold out and loud. Given the quality of opponent you can also assume Akron will walk away with a win.

When: September 12th, 2009
Where: Akron, Ohio


All Time: 0-0

If you're an athletics department that has secured sixty one million dollars this is not a bad way to spend it. Thirty three thousand people (counting standing only capacity) will be there as Akron brings in their token division FCS team right off the bat. This game will not answer any questions about this season but it be a nice kickoff to the season for Akron.




The Zips Squandered last season away starting with a four overtime loss in the last game played at the Rubber Bowl and on average they are being picked to finish fifth in the east. A win here probabaly gets them to 1-1 and warms the stadium up for their first real home opponent Indiana. A winning record heading into MAC play is possible for the Zips and with Syracuse a 3-1 out of conference record is quite realistic.

There is not allot to say about Morgan state they are a team well past their glory days but whatever you do don't leave senior Edwin Baptiste open.
