Dear Football Gods, What Dr. Z meant to say was POUND THE BALL, BUT PLEASE TEAR THE DELAYED HAND-OFF PLAY OUT OF MILWEE'S PLAYBOOK. Thank you. Sincerely, ZipsNation

Feels like the same song and yet another verse - injuries (I know, I know ... everybody has them) preventing us from playing our best football and an offense (QB and coordinator) that is just uninspiring. I'm at 'meh' already but always hopeful something might click that salvages the season. At this point though, adding a 12th game? Meh ... .

https://gocreighton.com/news/2018/10/15/-12-mens-soccer-completes-road-trip-with-match-at-akron-on-tuesday-night.aspx a pretty impressive item from the Creighton article: Two Of Best Programs In Division I Since 2011 Since Elmar Bolowich took over as Creighton's head coach prior to the 2011 season, Akron and Creighton rank first and fourth, respectively, for wins, and and second and fifth in winning percentage in Division I. Division I Men's Soccer Most Wins, 2011-Present 1. Akron 117-33-20 2. North Carolina 116-28-22 3. Coastal Carolina 115-39-11 4. Creighton 113-38-15 5. Maryland 108-31-29

I think his 6-6 was counting a bowl game pounding. But back to the topic at hand - Zips by 14.

This has to be a record. Digging up a 9 year old thread!

If we're going to be 5-6, out of the MACE race, and needing a 12th game to have a chance at a crud bowl, another type of decision may be necessary...

The school down in Jackson used to be called "Kent State Stark County". Or Kent State Stark CC. Not that long ago. I remember the Rowdies pulled a stunt where they called KSU and requested tix to Kent-Akron men's bb game at Kent, pretending to be students from Stark CC. Think they gave them prime seats, and after they arrived they opened their coats to reveal their Rowdies shirts.

I understand that sentiment but if adding a twelfth means a potential 13th then this program should do it.

Congratulations to Zips Men's Soccer alum Scott Caldwell!
