Captain Kangaroo

I guess it is a cool idea. I think the flag hoisting would be a fan-pleasing event...get everyone pumped for the game at-hand. Play some highlights of the P5 beating on the big screen... The Zips offense needs to be effective to get a flag. The D won't be able to do it alone. The offense is a complete unknown this year...I have no gauge of it whatsoever.

I just don't see a defense that's returning 10 starters finishing 5th. No chance. If Kato makes the jump you'd expect from a QB entering his 3rd year in the program, we should vie for a championship again this season. The two freshman OL's (Kelly and Fonte) will need to step in right away if we're going to have a great season. That's a lot to ask from Freshmen, but that's the situation. Hope they are as good as advertised.

I thought the same thing. De LaRosa is one of those "Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" players. A waste of 7-foot, with a bad disposition. I give him 5 games max before he either quits, or gets kicked off the team.

He's done it again...

REALLY excited to see our running backs this fall! So many new guys with size + strength. And if Sands is healthy...look out!

Janoris in the news again

Kobie Booker has quit school and football. Nine out of ten times that would be terrible news, but it makes room for Maverick Wolfley to get immediate playing time. Maverick rules. Travonte Junius has hung up the cleats. Injuries played a big part in the decision. There is a good chance that Jonah Morris will be immediately eligible to play due to the medical hardship affecting his family. The NCAA has become increasingly more player-friendly in their eligibility rulings. Morris’s 6’ 4” 205 lb frame and experience are expected to be a huge addition to an otherwise very small and inexperienced WR corp. Beautiful day for golf, and a blast as always. More fans should take advantage of the event. It never disappoints!

Colorado may have the upper-hand

Other than it’s Municipal Stadium? Photo 9/9 in the slide show is actually of the Rubber Bowl.

Complete speculation - some decent program said they were booked scholarship-wise for 2018-19, and told him they'd sign him for 2019-20 if he played JUCO ball for a year. Or - he had mediocre interest due to his limited body of work, and thought he could improve his 2019-20 stock by putting up some gaudy JUCO numbers. Wherever he went he'd need to sit out a year, so I'm sure playing any level of basketball was more appealing than sitting on the end of a bench in street clothes watching the other guys have all the fun.

I agree. Good decision for him to go JUCO. I assume he'll have a great season, and probably find a nice mid-tier D1 program for his final 2 seasons. My money is on Houston.

I went to Nebraska in 1997 for the Zips game. UA had a deal where, for $365.00 you got hotel, game ticket, and airfare to Lincoln. About 20 members of their band came over and played the Zips fight song to our group during the 3rd quarter. Their fans couldn't have been nicer. Had a blast.

Corn Nation Looks at the Zips

From Hustlebelt

Why should it take a couple more years to re-establish ourselves? We made it to Cleveland last year with two hands tied behind our back. I'd expect to be playing on Friday night at The Q this season, and I'd give us a puncher's chance against any "major" opponent this year...at least as much of a puncher's chance as any MAC program would have.

I would put it at 1.

Boy would it be nice to see him at WR for the Zips

See this post.
