Minimum 0f 30,000. Hopefully 40,000.You don't want it too big so that 27000 looks empty, but you don't want it to be sold out 2 years in advance either.

You don't go from Akron to Miami.There is another stepping stone.Urban Meyer went from BG to Utah, before Florida.As for Terry H. at Indiana, they are basically a MAC school. IU is not big time.I am sure he would leave there if something better came along.Coaches don't voluntarily leave big time programs for other big time programs unless they are an alum, or have ties somehow. I feel JD will be taken, but he will have to go to a higer level mid major, before the big time like Miami.I think JD will eventually be big time, but he needs another step first.

Very good stuff.

In a 3-4 you need to blitz the LB's some. We don't seem to do much of that. I think we are more worried about pass coverage.

A flamer from Cryami. That is hilarious.

Captain, although you are correct on a couple of your points, you are wrong on the OSU part. There is a certain poster on here that decides to put down OSU non stop. I am merely responding to him. This is the same I would do on any other board that would put down UA. Every single one of my posts that has to do with OSU is in response to someone elses posts. If there are in fact, "complaints" maybe you should look into it, and see that those individuals are the ones starting the rant. I have never, I repeat, never started any OSU discussion. I would hope that if you were on another teams board, you would defend UA if needed. There are many boards on the web, and fans from different teams visits those boards.I happen to be a grad and fan of both teams. I will defend 1 when it is being wrongly criticized.Again, I apologize. I didn't realize we were only supposed to be positive, and not critical also. Now I know.BTW, thanlks for responding. Many other board mods, would not.

This will curb some enthusiasm, but I still think more people are aware of the program. I am sure there are a lot of band wagon jumpers, but even for them, it takes more than 1 loss to jump back off. We need to go on a winning streak to get some new band wagon fans.

Stec is a true Freshamn. I think he will end up being a good one. I thought the kicker was a transfer from Wisci, or another B10 school. Either way, he needs work.Igor being out all season will hurt. Hopefully he at least gets to practice some and be 100% for spring ball next year. That way he can take over next season ready to go.As for this season, I hope it never comes down to an XP or FG for a win.

The N. texas game is a must win. We shoudl win easily, but after yesterdxay, I feel it will be a tough one.

Agreed. The defense looks good. it's the offense that is struggling. I don't think anyone expected that.

Just like some of us said after beating NCSU, it's 1 game. No need to get too upset. I have a feeling that many of us thought we would be much better than we are going to be this year. I am sure we will be ok, but this team seems to be lacking on offense big time. I didn't expect that.

Wow captain. I though you were above deleting posts that corrected, or disagreed with yours. I have always respected your posts and opinions and have been greatful that you brought us few this board.I guess if someone disagrees with you their post just gets deleted. What next, a ban?I guess this board is just for the positive and not the negative too.Well, at least now I know how it is. I'm sure this will get deleted too, but at least you will have read it first.

Getsy, like most of the offense, is way underperforming. This is up to the coach to get them back playing well.

This, mostly senior, o-line is way underachieveing. They can't pass block, or run block. We are in for a long season if they don't get their sh** together.I really expected much more from these guys than we are getting.

He was living off od his press clippings going into this season. Som e were saying he played against defenses. Every team does not have a great defense.

"JD still has a lot of work to do. While I give him credit, he did not necessarily run the table last year in the MAC and lost the bowl game. Also, he beat a crappy NC State team that probably will be lucky to win another game against a 1-A team this year. We also need to work on consistency as a team, and stop it with these letdowns after a big win. JD is an outstanding coach but he still needs a bigger resume"I agree. Much of this loss is on the coach. He has to have his team ready for the conference.

It would be sweet to have more Zip fans than flushes fans at their house.

We need a breakout game for Getsy.

This will be a field day for our offense.

He certainly will get some interviews. It all depends on how well he does there.It doesn't really matter if he is #1, or #5. If he goes, it will suck.At least a little ground work is laid.

I guess if there is 1 head coaching opportunity in major college football open in the offseason, we don't need to worry. However, there is usually quite a few openings. He doesn't have to be at the top, but he is certainly near the top.

Look at the guys over the last 2 years that didn't make it.Marshall, Hight, Garner, Boone, Sharps, Henderson, Jackson, Lemon, Smith, Stoudamire,That is just a start off of the top of my head. There are many others too.Most of these guys are the highest rated players in the class.Very few if any of these guys will ever be on the team. I am not arguing with JD's results, just the percent of qualifiers.

Yeah, JD is getting a lot of pub. He's gone....

This is a trap game for us. We have to win this game.
