abstract:The intercollegiate athletic teams at The University of Akron are known as the Zips. Teams compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level and in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) for college football.
If Rip is desperate for a Bowden fix, he can even take some solace this weekend from the Tennessee-Akron game, in which Terry Bowden's Zips actually led the Volunteers 23-20 late in the first half before fading to a 49-26 defeat.
