  1. Tired of this kicker talk. I know this place isn’t a great place to be for a player parent and I’m 100% comfortable with player criticism. But let me just defend Owen. He missed one kick this year that was his fault, the other was so poorly blocked on the edge that the Buffalo player was standing in front of him when he kicked. It’s maddening because he routinely wins the weekly “kick off” by making all of the kicks that Moorhead refuses to try in game. Yeah he had a squeaker in OT, but box score shows it went in. What should be talked about, is kicking is 80% mental. And you can’t have confident kickers when they know if they miss just one, they are out and rotated. No kicker is perfect. The Georgia kicker started the year terribly, the coach publicly and privately backed him and he’s a Groza semi-finalist right now. Dante is a good kid, and a good kicker, but the decision to start him in Indiana shocked all of us, including Dante. Moorhead put him in that position last minute. Not Tucker. I watch my kid make those kicks in warmups, in pressure kicks at practice, and to not go for the kick and instead punt from your 31 is just incredible to me. How do you preach finish and don’t give your players the chance to finish. This coach, the announcers, all talk about the kicking issues and meanwhile my kid has missed one. A 47 yarder into a stiff wind. The holder and the snapper are very good. But no kicker will succeed in this environment.
  2. They have one. He was 5/5 at that distance at ht warmups.
  3. Play not to lose instead of play to win
  4. Said the same. Where is tahj under center for one yard.
  5. Shocking play calling at the edge of FG range. Need yards.
  6. nevermind I found it!
  7. is the zips radio broadcast available anywhere? What station broadcasts it? I just listened to the espn broadcast and wanted to hear some people talk that actually know the program...
  8. Not sure what QBs travel, but at the end of the BG game Jankowski was warming up on the sideline. I suspect he would have been in on a final drive if we would have gotten the ball back.
  9. Gotcha, thanks. I thought I heard the zips weekly host reference talking to moorhead on a radio show, was just trying to figure that out.
  10. Is there a radio show as well? If so can someone tell me when and what station?
  11. “Stubborn” is a great general description…
  12. Just saw it. You're right they put him to a choice and he chose wrong, the inside guy blocked it with his helmet, the outside guy was close but would not have got there.
  13. Anyone have a clip of the last field goal attempt?
  14. I don't like that at all...
  15. I agree, Lexington is a gem. The game day environment was awesome and everyone was very friendly (I got four "What's a zip?"). I was disappointed with the Indiana crowd, seemed like over half of the crowd left after the halftime high school bands performance.
  16. Dante was given the start for KO, punt and placekicking.
  17. Irons back on the sideline
  18. Irons just ran into the locker room with the trainers
  19. I love the deep dives that people here take the time to produce.
  20. Hard when you are on the field 75% of the game.
  21. The stadium replay continentally only show the line that didn’t hold.
  22. The TV timeouts are killing the live viewing.
  23. Bunch of us will be in lot 10 in an hour, a blue bronco and a tan RV. Stop and say hi!
  24. We also never crossed the 50 in the second half.
