I am a little stunned that they just held their first practice, today.

Man, 247Sports is really behind on keeping up with Zips verbal commitments. They're missing at least half of the ones we know about here on Zipsnation.

It's a also a little stunning that Kiffin has just started getting commitments in the last week. He hasn't held practices or recruited. What has he done with his time? Interviewed for other jobs?

The Browns are rumored to be in the market for an offensive coordinator...

Really strange.  It's like everyone believes that he already has one foot out the door.

Who needs rat poison when he skips about 10/15 extra practices, lol.

OOOOH  you got me....you did beat the juggernaut Buffalo.  Congrats!  Where you guys displaying your Conference Championship Trophy?  Oh, never mind...did you even think you could beat Toledo?

 

And this is when we say, it's time to grow up.  Have a little class.

 

Hopefully you will have some class; and if Akron upsets FAU you'll come back and congratulate the Zips on their victory.  And if Akron loses to FAU, you will come here and talk up the Zips and wish us well in the future.

 

I have a feeling you won't.  Because so far your comments have been, rather childish.

So FAU has missed 10/15 of it's additional practices?  I'm assuming we've had all of our additional practices?  

 

Recipe for an upset?

It’s old school / new school.  Most your younger guys have a lot less padded practice with less contact to try & stay healthy.

 

What you get is healthier players without good technique.  Which is more important?  Most believe health because of depth unless your at a powerhouse with very little drop off

Doubtful you got all 15 in, the most any team could squeeze in would probably be 10. There was only 15 days between the day the game was announced and gameday. Kiffin did hold a couple practices before Thursday, but it wasn’t gameplan practices toward Akron. 

 

Because of finals it was tough for the team to squeeze any more practices in, and like the one poster above said it was also used to let the team get it’s legs back. Kiffin utilizes a little different practice schedule the team actually does it walk thru practice two days before game, and not typical day before. Then day before does a very uptempo practice. 

 

They also used used the last two weeks for very heavy recruiting. Most of the coaching staff has been on the road to get ready for early signing day. Since the bowl game is actually a de facto home game they are utilizing this weekend for official visits on campus. 

 

Hopefully this isn’t called “apologetic” just thought I would shed some light on everything.

FAU also had Finals.
