I think this thread might be as close to one about the Zips at this point.How did we ever draw 11k for McNeese St last year?

Too bad, Dan Bailey is a good guy.

As of Sunday, Bailey was still employed by UA, that I know for a fact. His job is more than just the strength coach for the football team. Interesting rumor.

Film study, game planning....this guy might even know how to make half time adjustments!?!?Ant idea how much $$ he makes at GVS? I would prefer a guy like this to a BCS coordinator.

I think this guy might have something to say about that.Jimbo Fisher

All of them.The overall athletic talent on this team is good enough to win in this sorry league if it wasn't for the mismanagement of the coach. The problem is the talent was used in the wrong way because JD's strategies were destined for failure. Using different schemes will bring out the talent in the team. It happens frequently. A good swift kick in the ass from the new coach will do wonders for the kids as well.When Owens was fired, my biggest concern was the lack of talent on the team (Owens would have had one more 6-5 year under his belt and then the wheels would have fallen off). JD had to come in and clean house. Most were so bad they couldn't even make Ashland win their conference after transferring there. The new guy won't have to do that. JD left enough talent behind to win in the MAC....the next guy needs to win sooner rather than later.I hope you're right. It makes me wonder why JD did better with LO guys than his own?Biggs, Alleman, Kemme, Getsy and pulling Hixon from defense to offense. Four of those five were JD's guys. Hixon my as well have been since JD saved his career. The myth is JD won with LO's guys. The reality is his guys took the Zips from a second place team to MAC Champions.One other thing everyone seems to forget is JD lost some key assistant coaches in the first couple of years. Arron Alford is doing well at Utah and the LB coach is doing well at Air Force. I think these guys were key losses to the program.I agree that those guys were "His Guys", but why wasn't he able to attract anymore of those types of players after that initial wave?

I think the only way they would play us is if we would agree to a home and home series. We would have nothing to gain by playing in Y-town.

Boy am I glad my prediction was wrong. Now lets get this one right.

It looked like someone stepping up to be a leader on this team to me. Humpty was pissed at Roberts for not paying attention and letting a pass in the final seconds go out of bounds. The Zips need some passion and if our seniors won't provide it, I'm glad Humpty will. UAPB played alot of smaller lineups, so that forced KD to do the same and thats why I think Zeke didn't play. The other thing that was interesting, was our use of a zone defense for quite a bit of the game. A win is a win.

Thats what I heard also. Here is a copy of the blueprints.

I'll take them. What would be the best means of arranging pick-up?Check your PM inbox. I'll meet you before the game.

I guess its all about tickets distributed? Do these free tickets count towards attendance? Anybody want my 4?

Its over, 2-0 Zips.

How about this. In the second half BG took the kickoff and drove right down the field. They had 1st and goal and we line up with a back up saftey covering the best player(#7) they have in man coverage. Their QB simply lofts a short pass to him for 6. The guy covering him was way overmatched. That is stupid coaching.

Looks Like Stan has used up his 9 coaching lives.Numerous Violations

I popped into Memorial Hall on the day of the home opener for football. Its even smaller and crappier than I remember. By comparison, the JAR looks like the Q. Other than for a few of us old guys curiosity, I see no reason why we would ever play another game there ever! Its destined for the wrecking ball soon and I will not miss it at all.

That was embarrassing! That has to rank in my top five worst losses and this is year # 40 for me. Around 200 games and this one is right up there.

I'm watching a reply of the game right now on TWC 23. D'Orazio has 150yds rushing and 3 TDs in the first half. Cuyahoga Hgts is leading 28-0.

I thought Sullivan looked promising also. He looks to be a great athlete with a lot of leaping ability. Don't get me wrong about Swiech though, I do like the guy. Its just that KD isn't going to play someone who is a liability on defense. Bardo may not contribute much on offense, but he is a good defender and thats why he gets playing time. I wish there was a way you could combine Bardo And Swiech into one player!

Steve is not a D-1 player. Last night really showed that he just doesn't have what it takes. He got beat by his man over and over under the basket for lay-ups. If he gets any meaningful minutes this season it will take a miracle. Its obvious that his teammates really like him, because they did everything they could to get him the ball on offense, but he is totally lost on defense. If the Zips played alot of Zone, he might have a chance.
