If you’ve been keeping up with the Belt at all this offseason, you know I am all in on the Akron Zips. Perhaps it’s fool’s gold, but I am still rolling with Zippy to be the surprise MAC East contender and head on to Detroit to represent their division in the MAC Championship.

If you watched college football last night, you see what happens when a favorite taking an underdog lightly mixes in with some moxy in the form of App State’s overtime loss to Tennessee.
