Why are we discussing CJ Spiller on a Zips web site?
-
He is able to practice with the team, but cannot travel or play.
At least the NCAA lets him do the fun stuff.
Allen Iverson would like this one single bit.

How about -
Ball State = Adult Zip-or-Treat
Each participating Lot 9'er brings a 6 pack of high-end beer to the pre-game. Must be a 6-pack. No 22oz'ers.
Lot 9'ers bring their 6 pack to participating fan's tailgate and say "Zip or Treat!" They then are given a beer from the participating tailgater in exchange for one of their own. You continue around the lot until you have 6 new, different beers in your 6-pack.
Personally, my favorite beer is always my next beer. I'd rather try 6 different pumpkin beers than drink a 6-pack of a single brand. Zip-or-Treat would be a good way to try a bunch of different beers and have a little October fun. Costumes optional.
Kids Root Beer Exchange is also an under 21 possibility.
Thoughts?

With the noon kickoff, I think some people are gearing towards breakfast. I’m thinking about spicy, habanero potato pancakes myself.
Wash them down with a couple highballs, and you're set.

So is the Ball State Tailgate theme "Balls"?
Meatballs (many options here), sauerkraut balls, melon balls, rum balls, spinach balls...
Just make sure not to get any balls on your chin.

The Zips’ defense dealt with a severe loss against Ohio when defensive end C.J. James, who leads the team with six tackles for loss, didn’t play because of an NCAA eligibility issue. At issue is credits, Bowden said. “He’s practicing but it’s an eligibility issue that came up,” he said. “It’s not in our offices; it’s in the administrative offices. They’re talking to people and trying to figure out what the situation is. They’re trying to be cautious
I'm guessing the same whiz kids that screwed up the Harney/Treadwell paperwork last year got promoted to Football Operations?

CHILES RELLENOS SQUARES
1 4-oz. can chopped green chiles, drained
3 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
4 large eggs, beaten
WTF kind of recipe is this? I assume you spread it over sticks of butter and eat it like a Popsicle?

55-10 NIU
The defense steps up: 52-10 NIU

Last week, collegeinsider.com named him to the 2013 Lou Henson Preseason All-America Team, following in the footsteps of former center Zeke Marshall who is now playing in Europe.
Does playing Grand Theft Auto 5 in Poland count as "playing in Europe"?

I think Chisholm gets a little bit of a bad rap because he does do a little too much dancing but I think he does have the home run potential. He had a 23 yard run against OU, 55 yards against JMU, 50 last year at Can't, and I can remember several big passes that he has caught and turned into touchdowns or big first downs. He might not be the guy to always pound ahead for three yards but he absolutely has some explosiveness that others don't possess. I think they should use him as a receiver out of the backfield a lot more often, he has good hands.
23 yards shows home run potential? That's a short porch.
Biggs, Hendry, Kennedy...those guys were a threat to go all the way at any given time. I miss those guys.
-
nothing personal of course but I've never seen 'home run' potential from chisholm
"Potential" simply means you haven't done it.
There are graveyards full of coaches who made their player decisions based upon potential rather than results.
If a duck can pull a truck, then hitch 'em up.
If a horse can't pull a truck, then make glue.

At home.
Great point. Home field advantage at the Rubber Bowl was a massive, borderline unfair plus for the Zips.
I think we were something like 39-1 over our previous 40 games there.
Again, great point.
-
NIU #23 in both polls. This is going to be tough. I think they'd beat Michaigan.
-
Thanks for posting.
I like reading that we made it to the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney. I guess that's one way to advance to round #2...add a play-in round and call it round #1.

When college players whine that they should be paid, do any of them consider they're getting free trips to Hawai'i and Puerto Rico while most other students are working at the Student Union?

Plain Dealer article: http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/in...ips_to_fle.htmlMore than muscle: There are a few more elements to Akron's lack of a running game. First, the forward pass is the Zips No. 1 option.
I contend the sideways pass has been our #1 option.
-
The way the MAC is you almost need to run the table in order to get to the MAC C, and if you don't you need to at least beat the top teams. Beating BG was the only legitimate chance this team had to a MAC C run. Perhaps I'll be forced to eat my words (hopefully so) but I doubt that.
This team lost 3 MAC games, and still won the MAC Championship

If Coach Bowden can't turn the Zips into a winner, where does he go from here?
@ DIG: Back to a cushy TV gig.
@ Other People:
Bowden will make the Zips a winner. I have no doubt. He works hard, and he knows how to get the job done. It will simply take time. There are no shortcuts.
Bowden needed to take-on 5th year seniors. Otherwise we'd be getting absolutely killed with true Freshmen of defense instead of James, Capi and Mizell (as only 3 examples). As time goes on, the reliance on these transfers will wane, and they will be replaced by 5th year kids recruited by the Zips out of high school.
Bowden and Milwee make mistakes. Zips football fans are allowed to discuss the game strategies and results just like any other fans. Bowden coached at Auburn. He can take it.
-
I lol'd..i'll admit it.
It was a funny story with him...he left the Zips to coach for the 49ers under Mike Nolan. Shortly thereafter Nolan got fired. Nori still had a residence in Stow, and was still collecting a paycheck from SF, so he moved back. The Stow HC job opened up in the interim, and he took it.
Nori played a couple years in the NFL. Pretty big coup for Stow to get him.
-
Two additional "Former Coach" Updates:
Former Zips RB coach Reno Ferri now holds the same position at Towson, where the Tigers are #2 in the latest FCS poll.
Former UA OL coach Mark Nori, who left the Zips in favor of the SF 49'ers staff, has his Stow Bulldogs at 5-0 as they enter this week's game against the 5-0 Hudson Explorers.

I saw four catches for fifteen yards. Longest catch was for seven. That means he averaged 2.66 yards per catch in his other three catches. What is the spark I am missing?
I think if you use the sampling of a single game, anyone can look bad. Based upon Louisiana, LT Smith is a chump.
Bickley had 5 receptions for 79 yards and 2 TD's against Louisiana. Pretty good for a true freshman.
He's probably going to end up a lot closer to Garrett Wolfe than you might want to acknowledge.
To the main point - I don't think the coaches blew the game. But they blew some major chances to win the game. And the coaching staff needs to be flawless if the Zips are to beat upper-tier MAC programs.
Throwing the ball on 3rd and inches when you have Hundley in the backfield is not smart football. Just like it wasn't smart football to run a sweep with "Mr. Outside" Juwan Chisholm on the 1 yard line against Michigan.
Having Pohl throw on 3rd and goal from the 4-inch line was as dangerous and ill-advised as it was for him to throw in a similar situation at Michigan. We get too cute inside the 5 yard line. We are the opposing defense's dream with our inside-the-5 playcalling.
Kicking from the far left hash with Dr. Shanken Stein was a big blunder. He's not a good kicker.
Bowden needs to play to win. His offensive playcalling is poor when it needs to be sound.
The pooch punt was extremely bad. With our existing punter bucking for team MVP honors, why do you take the ball out of his hands and let a QB kick it? There was no need for such a high-risk call, and it cost us 7 points.
BG has more talent the UA. But last Saturday, poor playcalling cost us a chance at the upset. MAC teams choke when the pressure it on. BG would have layed entirely different if it were 24-21 in the 4th, instead of 24-14. And the Zips defense would have had a spring in their step.
Instead we let BG off the hook, and lost our 30th consecutive road game.
Compare that with NIU, who's WON 27 of their last 29 road games.
Beautiful day in Bowling Green. But a tough day to enjoy.

BG did not score an offensive TD against Indiana. The same Indiana who has surrendered 35, 35 and 28 points in their other 3 contests. Indiana rolled up over 600 offensive yards against BG.
That tells me BG's offense is weak, and their defense is overrated.
A healthy Zips team rolls in relatively easy fashion, ending both their epic MAC, and overall road losing streaks in one fell swoop.
