You are 100% correct. The sad part is even with average MAC QB play we would have made a run at 4-1 with the way the defense is playing.

I hate that this is so true.

Spot on.

Going back to Bowden through Arth to now, I hate being in the shotgun on short yard plays. We take WAY too many big losses.

Stat of the game.

No energy either.

I went from Pepto to Paxil watching this team. Go Zips!

Hopefully we settle down, cut out the mental mistakes, feed 27 the ball and let someone else be the team that shoot’s themselves in the foot.

I can’t recall being so worked up while in the lead at halftime. I also can’t recall being in the lead at halftime.

Why take a time out and leave 26 seconds on the clock?

This series is why Akron is 1-3 and Buff is 0-4. No discipline.

Bullock was throwing on the sideline

100%. A lot was made of Coach Prime’s 86 transfers but the Oregon game showed how hard it is to get big, quality linemen as well especially in a short timeframe

I hope you are right but teams that can't win these types of games in non-conference seem to fail to win them in conference play as well. The missed field goals, stupid penalties, dropped passes, interceptions, blown coverages, etc. probably won't stop just because it is MAC play. That being said, they are doing some things to build on so hopefully we can right the ship and take care of business against Buff. Starting 1-0 in conference play would cure a lot of ills at least for the short term.

Of all games for the sound system to work. Worst first game as an announcer ever. The color guy from Major League would be an upgrade. Lastly, get the guy a spotter. He called out the wrong player and/or jersey number 40 times?

Well, that's just grape! Jammed up again.

I want Cedarville or Muskingum! Please post the final schedule when it drops. Thx

I’m sure Charlie Frye would look at 7 MAC teams projected in bowl games and wonder why it wasn’t like this when he played.

I think if the Zips beat Temple and stay relatively healthy, we’re going Bowling and have a chance to make a run at our best DI season ever. As for a prediction made in August, I will go right down the middle at 6-6.

Best of luck to her. I figured she would be back in the game soon.

So you can take the boy out of EMU and the EMU out of the boy?

If you thought PFF's prediction was bad, see below. ESPN Computer Predicts College Football's 5 Worst Teams ESPN's computer model, the Football Power Index, has predicted the country's five worst teams as we head into the 2023 regular season. Here they are, in order from worst to least worst: 1. UMass 2. New Mexico State 3. Florida International 4. Akron 5. UL Monroe (No matter how hard we try, we can't escape Bowden Ball) According to ESPN's Football Power Index, these are the five worst teams in the country heading into the 2023 regular season. We are in straight-up Rodney Dangerfield territory here. No respect, I tell ya!

When I turned on the Clippers game to check on X, I did not realize two things: 1. Jason Preston is on the Clips, 2. After missing most of his young professional career to injury, the Clips clearly want to take a good long look at him to see what they have. Preston has been on the floor all night and no sign of X (other than buried on the bench) after 3 quarters. Hoping for some garbage time to justify watching summer league ball.

I am just so thankful that the NBA lets the college players with remaining eligibility come in for evaluations and gives them a pre-draft estimate of where they will be drafted (or not likely to be drafted). There was nothing worse than when a kid would leave early to declare for the draft and go undrafted. Even better, Freeman is coming back and not heading to a bigger program for one year. RayJ to Baylor comes to mind... I cannot wait to get back to the JAR for this team.
