I haven't received one (yet?). I did not attend the last 2 games, is that why i didn't get it?


All right, i guess i just was impatient. I got my letter today wave.gif
Definitely a good move. I'm sold to renewing 2 tickets next year.

You've gotta be kidding.


Not kidding at all. That's the only school i went to and that's the only D1 college football team i care about. As long as the Athletic department and the Coach show that they care and are at least trying to do something, they have my support.
I am a very reasonnable person. Here is what will keep me happy:

2011: Must win no less than 4 games.
2012: Must have a winning record in the MAC.
2013: Must be Bowl eligible and compete for the conference.

He's not kidding .. he's a ZIPS FAN! And a good one. Not a mildly interested passer-by. A fan.

Go Zips!

Hey ZipRoo.....just curious since you're relatively new on Zipsnation. How long have you been following the Zips?

WOW. What a humbling experience for TW and RI to have to actually sign each of these letters. Makes me wonder, who came up with this idea, TW, RI, or LP?

Over 35 years. Attended the school, go to most home games (and have for years), numerous away games (including the MAC title & Motor City Bowl), and my dad quarterbacked the Zips multiple seasons. Not just a passing interest. Thanks for asking.

Excellent! Then you should probably have some interesting commentary to add beyond your resolute disdain for iCoach. Plus, I assume this means you're in this for the long haul. Many of us (myself included) were not fans of this HC hire. The reality is, short of some off-field error in judgement, he's here for a couple more years. I'm curious to see what he can do with a full recruiting class. I've said in other threads that I think the players his staff personally landed in 2010 have shown promise for the most part. We'll see.

Could someone please do some research on another Div. 1 coach that was hired without ever being a coordinator and never playing football...

JD was both a player (WR at Colorado St.) and an offensive coordinator (Pitt). Owens graduated from Blufton, but I'm not sure about his playing status.

I didn't see the "player" specification. My bad. And I thought JD was the WR coach, not the OC?

JD's Wiki

He became Pitt's OC in 2000.
