Sort of like we had to put up with the Bowden hating? Sorry, as long as the loser AD and pitiful coach are in place, this conversation is worthy of continuing.

The thread for tomorrow’s game has barely been used.  There are more important things happening. Please join the rest of us in real time!

Lol. Have you considered why it has no responses? There is nothing to look forward to. They will lose and likely lose big, again. Who wants to dwell on that? Please join the rest of us? It sounds like no one is discussing? Lol

I believe what they call you is a fair weather fan. I think I can get you a discount on a nice Malone football hoodie if you will turn in your Zip gear.

Awww man... I was thoroughly enjoying revisiting a schedule with VMI on it as our only win that year... You're no fun. And to think we're only halfway through the football season having this discussion, and we still have an entire basketball season to debate Groce vs. Dambrot. ?

You make a solid point but only if we can throw dropping to D2 into this moan fest. Go zips!

Wanting the Zips to win and believing they will win are 2 different things. Not wanting to face what a disaster we are in is just foolish.

I have a hoodie with this on the front:  "We aren't Cyclone fans because it's easy.  We're Cyclone fans because its awesome." 

 

We could teach you quite a bit about how to maintain an active board even when your team sucks.  For instance, we have not won a conference (or even division) title in 100 years!  However, we took great pride a few years ago in the empirical proof that we are the most loyal fans in college football.  They took total attendance divided by wins over a three year period.  We were #1! 

 

That sort of loyalty helps make the current success even more enjoyable.

Damn man you must be the life of your tailgate party!  There isn’t a single person on this forum who is happy the team is losing, but get some perspective. It’s a game...played by amateur athletes...in Akron, Ohio. Maybe I’m foolish because  I just don’t think any of this rises to the level of disaster. Yes, I go to every single game thinking they will win. I cheer for the team, I get my picture taken with Zippy and I eat an overpriced hotdog.  If they lose I’m disappointed, but the beer is still cold back at the tailgate and there’s always next week.  So  you’ll have to ignore me because I’m going to keep being foolish.

I've hit my limit of reactions to post, so I'm replying instead.  This is extremely well said.  At the core, we are fans, simply fans for our team.

The same people who wanted Bowden gone now are defending Arth.

Very strange.

You need to work on your reading comprehension.  The considerable majority of those who wanted Bowden gone are disappointed with what's happening this year, they've just decided to be patient and not predict the future based upon only 6 games (especially when there's no quick fix available).
