  1. I''ll be the person responsible for collecting dues. Please PM me your credit card info.
  2. With the way starting Zips QBs get abused they might all wish to be the mid-game replacement!
  3. This week's edition of the George and Tom Show-
  4. The Zips head to Oxford this week for Miami's homecoming. Hopefully they can ruin Miami's homecoming like they ruined BG's. Miami stands at 2-4 with wins against LIU and Central Michigan and losses to Cincinnati, Minnesota, Army and Eastern Michigan. The Zips are 19.5 point underdogs.
  5. Glad to see that the win brought you some peace and comfort.
  6. I guess we shouldn't expect the Beacon to have the only reporter that covers the Zips travel 136 miles to a game. https://www.beaconjournal.com/videos/sports/college/zips/2021/10/09/watch-university-akron-qb-zach-gibson-being-ready-lead-tom-arth/6075949001/
  7. I was on the road all day. Looks like someone saved their job today. I'll admit that I thought they were done. To Arth's credit, it can't be easy to motivate a team that has had the Zips record but he obviously pulled it off today.
  8. But they were hanging with Temple as they were being outscored 17-3 in the second quarter by a bottom 10 FBS team.
  9. I don't think we'll see the 3rd of your predictions. He'll be allowed to save face and the school will be allowed to save money by him getting another job in the off-season.
  10. So what's your explanation for a 43 minute stretch against Temple when they gave up 45 points while scoring only three? Arth's challenge is no more difficult than Loeffler's at BG or Lewis" at PCCC. Also, trust me, Captain Kangaroo is the most faithful UA fan in here, not a sideline QB.
  11. I get it Zippyroo and appreciate the conversation and I have been as patient as anyone on ZipsNation but I just don't see the level of recruits on the whole that will be competitive on the MAC level. Also, even as youngsters, the team should have grown over three years. Tomorrow, they'll be likely throttled by a team in a nearly similar situation three years ago that has made progress. There's a junior college/agricultural school one county to the east that has made progress from an awful situation. The Zips have not made that progress. I hope to God tomorrow is a start but I'm really skeptical.
  12. Isn't acquiring competitive talent a responsibility of the coaching staff? It's the third year for this staff without significant improvement in the talent level.
  13. I thought I would give us a diversion from Zips football.
  14. I could sit in that damn chair in front of GT and spit Arth-isms every week. Looking forward to challenge...um...they're a strong program...um...play to the whistle...um...play with confidence...um...
  15. The Zips head to Morgantown in just a little over three weeks for an exhibition game against our old friend Bob Huggins and his Mountaineers. The Zips will face a lot of pressure against the Mountaineers in what should be a good early test to see what we have in this year's team. Some have ranked WVU in the top 20 going into the season. Here's a nice early preview of the Mountaineers- https://www.three-man-weave.com/3mw/west-virginia-2022-preview
  16. 14.5 point road dogs against the only team they beat last year. I guess that shows which team is moving in the right direction.
  17. There are some state playoff games there occasionally. I think in the Covid year Hoban and SVSM learned they could pull it off at their places and not pay rent to UA.
  18. When the time comes, and who knows when the hell that will be, the AD and committee will find someone that checks all of their boxes and that will enthuse a majority of the fans. A significant portion of the fanbase will then bitch that the program isn't improving fast enough while others will continue to lament TB being moved along. Bring us someone young with some energy and enthusiasm that can talk MAC level talent into coming to Akron and I'll be happy. Show improvement every year. I don't need bowl eligibility in year one or two but there better be some progression of improvement with time.
