  1. Even in their bad years...of which there have been many...they've always had an Edelman, Cribbs, Harrison, Davis...some player that stood out as pretty good. Not this year.
  2. ...who quit in the 3rd quarter. Seriously...who lets 39 seconds run off the clock in a rivalry game, at home, to get to the 4th quarter? They hit on 2 deep balls in the game. Why not throw it deep and try? We came back with 21 unanswered in the 4th quarter last year to win.
  3. Don't try to sneak a grill in either...there's only going to be 38 cars in the Dix lot, so you'll easily be spotted! My favorite Kent tailgate story - Probably 20 years ago they decided to enforce an open container policy at their Homecoming game. They ticketed every alum and fan they identified with an open beer. $75 fine. I doubt any of them have been to another game since (a couple worked with me). Much worse that only having the Zips team shop open 1/2 hour before kickoff on Homecoming.
  4. Yay…a figurehead AD…with no AD experience whatsoever…to run our D1 Athletic Department. No way this could be true.
  5. Not only was he interviewing for a job on Akron's company time, he was apparently working on the rebranding of the Fordham logo while still employed at UA? Someone in the Athletic Department found these renderings when they were cleaning out his desk.
  6. 3 points in 19 minutes. A -18 in the box score. All Pacer starters had a double digit, negative +/-.
  7. Come on guys…that’s not how we roll here. Please stop with the name-calling stuff.
  8. If you’ve see that grainy footage of Bigfoot walking past the log, looking over his shoulder, you have an idea of the picture quality you missed.
  9. 53 passes in a sub 40 degrees monsoon baffles me too. And the sea of 12 men on the field penalties is inexcusable. Maybe you’re right…the oc and hc responsibility load may be the root of our week-in-week-out incredibly poor attention to detail. I like Joe and want him to succeed. But who can put up with only 1, 2 or 3 wins every season for 6 consecutive years?
  10. In defense of Finley- it is miserable outside in NE Ohio right now. A 39 degree pouring rain. It is really tough to throw or catch a football in these conditions…conditions that were in Illinois about 13 hours ago. In reasonable weather he’s shown a strong arm and good accuracy. He’s also shown that he can throw too high a volume of inexplicable INT’s. He’s way better than Undercuffler, but after nearly a 4 year career sampling, probably grades-out as a slightly-above-average MAC QB.
  11. How many losses can one severely depleted fan base take? The Zips ain’t no fun to follow. Bad football.
  12. Can the Zips play clean game, and not simply hand it to NIU on a silver platter with fumbles, INT’s and bonehead penalties galore? If do, they can win. Some of the Zips players have obviously spent a ton of time choreographing various celebration dances and pantomimes. It’d be a shame if the couldn’t use them.
  13. Reminds me of when I used to play basketball with my son in the driveway and I was a foot and a half taller than him.
  14. Man are we getting smoked on the boards.
  15. Whatever the opposite of a roll is, we’re on it. A schnide?
  16. Testify, brother Hilltopper!! 🙌
