Zips win 1-0!

A back heel goal on a corner from Remi!

Were the two saves stellar or routine though? Having a great defense that only allows two mediocre shots per game can make any keeper look amazing on a stat sheet. Budler is no doubt one of the best in the country, but let's not discount excellent defense as a strong contributor to his eight shutouts.

Highlight from the Gozips.com writeup: "Redshirt senior GK Mitch Budler (Lincoln, Neb.) collected two saves for the Zips out of nine total Bulldogs shots to earn his NCAA-leading eighth shutout of the season." This guy is good!

There’s not a whole lot to be said about this one. As we’ve discussed before, this year’s offense goes as Finley goes. No Finley means no offense. Add in Patrick being out and our chances of competing dropped even more. I’m not sure why Finley didn’t play, but Johnson seemed like he was running a limited package in the first half. Toledo caught on quickly to what we were trying to do, and Johnson’s accuracy issues showed up again. Roggow throws it much better than Johnson, but he seems a ways off in terms of reading college defenses. The defense doesn’t get a pass either. There were way too many busts and missed tackles, even from guys who’ve been steady all year. Just one of those bad days at the office. We needed to be at our best to have a shot today, and that didn’t come close to happening. Now it’s about turning the page and gearing up for a physical — and potentially winnable — matchup with CMU next week. QB: Johnson Roggow HB: Gant M.

And with our best players leaving via the TP every year what else should we expect? With the current state of college football I think the best we can hope for is the possibility of catching lightning in a bottle once in a while.

Wherever they can be competitive. Think they could compete against the S.Dakota, N.Dakota and Montana teams among others, in FCS? Personally I would question that also.

Not about 'saving money' after lierally decades of this. They have to play at a level where they can be consistently competitive. Now they are not.

This field makes for an absolutely horrendous viewing experience. But the Zips are on the front foot early!

How good should one of the most under resourced programs be? Seriously, I think that's an interesting question. Losing is one thing. A program completely devoid of any entertainment value is something completely different.

If we just wait a few more years, G5 may have it's own division below FBS. By doing so, we can save a good MBB program and very good soccer program.

Whoever runs this account has the easiest job in the world. Depressing... but easy.

Are you saying our 1897 win over Ohio State is somehow now meaningless? smh. 😂

Where is Bigzipguy response to soccer games this season?

Vermont 2 UMBC 0 St. Louis with a 2-1 home win over LaSalle Creighton gets a 2-0 road win at DePaul Cornell 3-1 home win over Yale N. KY and Cleveland State 1-1 Georgetown 2-0 home win over St. John's Seton Hall 2-0 road win at Marquette Big East Midwest Standings Creighton 2-0 Akron alone in 2nd at 1-1 Xavier and DePaul 0-1-1 Marquette and Butler both 02 Big East - East Georgetown and Seton Hall both 2-0 Villanova 1-0-1 UConn and Providence both 1-1 St. John's 0-1-1

Honestly any money we would save dropping to FCS is probably negated by lost revenue. Non-scholaship FCS or D2 would probably be where things would start making mathematical sense.

Man I was almost hung at high noon for bringing that up a dozen years ago. I feel a bit safer now…

Followed up by the same thing on 3rd and 12 lol

Agreed. I hate to see an area kid like Chip end up at another MAC school.

Johnson with the start. May as well see though with the season basically lost already, may as well see Roggow instead of a backup senior.
