Be sure to click on the "Too Low" button for the Zips. At least it gets us a little name recognition for all the eyeballs that look at the poll. We are almost into the top half

+1. Play them like they're the Michigan State Spartans. Don't even look at the Vegas line on this one...pretend we are the underdogs at home. Run the ball, catch every pass, no turnovers, no dumb penalties. Go Zips!

Amazing to think that he was head coach (interim) at Notre Dame after Weis was fired. Makes for a good bar trivia question. The silver lining may be that our AD's present and future won't be allowed to make any more big hires on their own without considerable oversight from a team of university staffers and/or outside consultants.

Available again? Our receivers have been struggling a bit...maybe we could use his help? http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/24728137/kansas-fires-charlie-weis-after-texas-rout

Use Grice more on offense...3-4 ypc, move the chains, and wear down opponents' defense. I think we have enough depth on DL to do it. Chisolm could start taking reps in practice as slot receiver.

Finally getting some blitzes.

Crushed at home by Northwestern.

GRICE again...can we get a hat trick?

REFRIGERATOR !!

Plenty of mistakes but have to be happy to be tied at the half after last week's debacle. UP appears to be in danger of not covering the spread

I have Frenchy on (internet), it's a full half minute behind gametracker.

Opponents are going to start inviting & escorting us to the red zone...

What did he say that got you off the ledge?

FWIW, Penn State is now #27 in the AP poll, Marshall is #30, and Pitt got 1 vote.

Back to unwatchable...at least for today.

Get as many fast QB's as possible and turn some of them into S's and WR's. And then you also never run out of backup QB's.

they beat Oral Roberts 4-1 on tues. it's game on at 7:00 after we marshall

This game will go a long way in determining whether we will be bowl worthy. EMU at home should be a gimme...all the rest are losable games for us.

Apparently Coach Bowden looks like himself...they're a creative bunch over there.

"Our charge is simple," Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long, who will chair the committee, told USA Today. "Determine the best teams in college football and seed them to play each other." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/09/college_football_playoff_selec_1.html

Interesting line movement, went up to 12.5-13 early, now has come down as low as 10. Prediction: if Zips DB's/LB's wander around the field out of their zones while the QB still has the ball: Marshall 42, Zips 28; otherwise, Zips 28, Marshall 27. Go Zips!
