Captain Kangaroo

K.e.n.t.'s defense had given up 400+ in their last two games.K.e.n.t. is K.e.n.t.Zips have never lost to K.e.n.t. at InfoCisionThis is Akron's "Super Bowl." K.e.n.t. has already won a couple games this season, so it isn't as important to them.Tyler Williams will break his first tackle on a kick returnAkron's punting game is superior to K.e.n.t.'sWe have a kicker that can make XP's (on the rare occasion Ianello doesn't go for 2)

Think 3-for-19 will get the job done on Saturday?How is 3-for-19 even possible?

Odd...I was told Clayton Moore's passer rating is much better than what we had in 2010? How can we be scoring fewer points? We even have a better running game in 2011?

Have we played the K.e.n.t. fight song before? I don't recall it?If we play K.e.n.t.'s fight song at any point in next Saturday's game, I will walk out of the stadium and never return. That would be the biggest slap in the face anyone could ever pull on a Zips' fan. If you want to play a non-conference, traveling opponent's song, that's fine. You don't play K.e.n.t.'s fightsong in Akron. Period.Does Ohio State play Michigan's fight song? Just curious.

And Ianello handed them the game last week.:He had no faith inhis players against the biggest 85-scholarshipped chokers on the planet. Why do housewives in the stands know more about our opponent's tendencies than you? You will never win another D1 game the remainder of your 4 year career. You get paid 350k to win as many D1 games as a flower pot, so good for you. Laugh you way to the bank.

The gentleman from Green makes some good points here.5 of them.

Who would have thought fans like us would even entertain the thought of walking away?How could anyone sit through another season of Ole Miss' high, low or batted-down balls, Ianello's mathmatically-challenged deficit-cutting strategies, tumbleweeds in the tailgate lot, swiss cheese defensive line play...

Do you think it would matter if the crowd is 1,789 fans, or 895 fans?If looking at InfoCision on Saturday afternoon, as it stands today, doesn't hit home as an impetus for change, nothing ever will.

Even getting drunk is a process around here...

Can you ever envision the Zips eating more than 1 year of a HC contract? If they could make a great hire...a real head-turner...they would easily make up the $350k/yr in Ianello's salary. But no one typically looks deeper than "We're going to pay a guy $350k/yr NOT to coach the Zips? Forget it."The empty stadium and horrific team performance is dragging down the entire University. And I have no faith that Wistercil knows how to fix it. None whatsoever.

we also had a "full cupboard" 2 years ago....I will correct your spelling.Fool Cupboard.

We are "Mid-1990's K.e.n.t. Bad." Bottom-feeder extraordinaire.Even when Owens took-over Faust's remnants, you could see progress as time rolled on. I see nothing with Ianello. Just horrific, abysmal football.I'm seriously thinking about skipping renewal of my tickets next season. I may travel a bit next fall and check out some games at K.entucky, Pitt, WVA, Maryland and elsewhere. I want to see good football. And a real college game day environment. If Wistercil doesn't want to provide it, he leaves me no choice.Taking your kid to see the Zips get waxed week-after-week sucks. Your kid wears the face paint...jersey, etc. And by mid-2nd quarter of every game, his team is down 3+ scores. Year after year. With no end in sight. You can only take so much...

I've seen PN7 win games against D-1A teams. I've seem Moore lose every one he's started.I want a chance to win against K.e.n.t. PN7 is our best chance.The hyperbolic clowns on this site will spin that statement to infer I think Nicely is the second coming of Luke Getsy. But, that's why said people are hyperbolic clowns.Start PN7 against K.e.n.t. And if he wins, Buffalo too (he's beaten both teams in the past). Give me a shot at seeing a win in 2011. Not a 4th quarter field goal to close the gap to -32.

Because Fleming and Suel tanked it. Who said this team doesn't quit?Nice field goal on 4th and 2 by RI. 35-3 is awesome. Why he didn't make it 35-6 at game's end will forever baffle me. We had it in the bag!Please, sarcartically impaired clowns, stop typing now.Thanks.

He had bigger offers, but is going to K.e.n.t because of his girlfriend. They break up this summer, and he'll be stuck in Portage County.

+1-72Nicely has beaten K.e.n.t. Moore has beaten...no D-1A team. He was 3-18 tonight. He's played 1 decent 1/2 of football the entire season. He needs to see the bench.

My bad. I thought we were farther out than that on that one. I still stand by the fact that everything up to the final play is hindsight and that going for the win was a better choice than OT. Rock on, Don Quixote.

2-18. We can't change anything fast enough, as far as I'm concerned.Look at our offensive numbers pre, and post "pro set" offense. It is an unreal difference.

Anyone want to buy 3,000 "Pankey Hankies"?Damn, that's what I get for buying early...

I hope it is a 1st quarter 2nd and 5 call, and not one on the final play of the game.

I'm glad everything is cleared up. It takes a special player-parent to participate on a message board like ours. I can only count a handful that have really embraced the site in all the years we'd run it. You've been here even prior to Zeke's commitment, and that's really cool. Thank you.

“I had a bunch of players, which I appreciate, after the game come right up to me and say they liked the call, good call,” said IanelloIf this is true, this is the best thing that has come out of it. I wish a W come out of it though.Wow...I'd have thought the players would have told their Coach he was a moron? Who knew? (emoticon inserted for the sarcastically-impaired)Click here to understand why players like going for the 2-point conversion, and why a Coach shouldn't listen to them.

My problem with that is that it is an option play. It should not be. You want to know why? Because you could lose a winnable game by one point. Exhibit AI agree. Down 20-6, 3rd quarter, how is going for two even remotely under consideration? Who's responsible for that option even being in the playbook? Who?I'm guessing the CMU coach studied tape on the Zips, and suckered us into the botched attempt.

I have two guesses as to the offending party.Let me guess...someone PM'd you?People are stupid. My apologies from the Moderators for whomever was an idiot. We do what we can.

"Aggressive" by your definition. "Stupid" my mine.And DIG is wrong. He sells the intelligence of our members short. No one would have complained if Ianello went for OT, because it was the right call. If you make the right call, and it doesn't work out, that's sports...that's life...whatever. People can accept it. I dream of the day I can leave InfoCision after a well-played and well-coached game. I have a dream...
