Akron:7 OHIO: 19

In a typical game on homecoming the Zips lost to Ohio U.
(seems to happen most years doesn't it).
The weather was perfect with a high of 61F, and had sun shine all day long.

For the first Alumni Band in the brand new Infocision Stadium, we had even
more alumni show up than in previous years. We had over 100+ marching
alumni (between the 40 and the 40), and probably another 50 alumni and
spouses in the stands... We for the first time marched to the new stadium
through campus, and played to a crowd of over 16,000 Zips fans.

What a great time in 2009, and a part of history at the Rubber Bowl.
Be a part of it in 2010 and join us for another great time in the new stadium.

Akron:33 BGSU: 37

In a surprisingfinish by Bowling Green, the Zips lost (seems to happen most years doesn't it). The weather was perfect with a high of 74F, and had sun shine all day long.

For the last Alumni Band in the Rubber Bowl, we had even more alumni show up than in previous years. We had over 80+ marching alumni (between the 40 and the 40), and probably another 50 alumni and spouses in the stands... In addition, we had 4 past and current directors join us this year. Mike Golemo ('84-'92, '94-'97) came back from Iowa State, Barry Martin ('92-'93) from Grand Rapids, Galen Karriker ('99-present) from his DMA sabbatical at Michigan State, and the current interim director (also from the great state of LA)and the current director of bands Bob Jorgensen joined in. We even had Donald Krenrick join us, who was the drum major for Ohio's Pride in 1940, the year the Rubber Bowl opened.

What a great time in 2008, and a part of history at the Rubber Bowl. Be a part of it in 2009 for the first time at the new stadium on CAMPUS!

Akron: 24 Temple: 30

In a surprising last minute touchdown by Temple, the Zips lost. Even more alumni showed up this year than in past years, and had great weather. We did Children of Sanchez with the Rookie Band, and had a great time as always. This year, we even had Alumni cheers in the stands such as "Oosta Aassa". We played great songs, and had a great time.

What a great time in 2007. Be a part of it in 2008 for the last time at the Rubber Bowl!
