Captain Kangaroo

So no ZN questions were asked? One that I forgot: Coach I watch team after team that run a pro style offense use the TE to move the chains, do we have TE's that catch the ball, do we send them out in routes, does PN7 have enough check downs if coverage is tight down field? I'll hang up and listen to your answer.... The one about Carter was asked. I missed some of the show so maybe I also missed a few other ZN questions. IIRC, the host identified a period of the show as one in which "e-mail" or "internet" (not sure about these terms) questions would be asked (no specific mention on ZN by name, although he may have said message board). Here is a note for Fox 1350 Guy - If you use our message board as supporting material for your show, you give our message board due credit on the show. I can't believe the guy would enter a specific request via a post, asking for help from our members, then not mention "ZipsNation.Org" as a source on the show. It can't be true. No one lacks that sort of ethics.

Is that Milikin's home court?

"House of Horrors" looking all-too-accurate.

What if the opponent is offensively 1-dimensional, with a crappy quarterback? Interesting historical note: Garrett Wolf ran for around 200yards against us twice in 2005, and we beat Northern both times (going off memory, but I believe it is true). Gosh that QB was crappy wasn't he? That would be a good point, if I had stated the NIU had a crappy QB. But I didn't. And it isn't. But congrats on your win anyhow.

The guy came from a losing program at Notre Dame. Easily in excess of a million fans "down" on the program and staff. Every loss was nationally televised. Now he's facing 3 Zips fans on Waterloo Road, and they're more interested in free wings than football. While I appreciate his availability, it is as gutsy as walking a foot-high tightrope over a tupperware container full of minnows. I think he'll survive. Excitement regarding Zips football is at an all-time low. And that's really saying something. My question for the guy - "After witnessing what has been on display the first 3 home games of the season, why should I come back for game 4? What is going to change?" Question #2: "Will you beat K.e.n.t. State?"

I miss Dwight Smith. He shut down his side of the field. If the ball was up in the air, he considered it "his." If his man caught the ball, he ripped it out of his arms. I see no DB with that attitude. No anticipation. Our secondary plays on it's heels.

Answer - A mirage. Also - Maybe I should have been more specific when I requested to see a Zips blowout.

Dr. Z's Doctorate must be in Culinary Arts. He was the unanamous winner.

Ribs have been smokin' for 4 hours. Getting near done. Threw a chicken on too, just for fun.

...will JD Brookhart be on the invite list?

Definitely not the match that would turn Dr Z into a futbol fan. 90 minutes, and FAU never mounted any sort of threat. I like the fact that there are seats in the west end, but those seats ain't the greatest. Only 5 rows high, your vision is constantly blocked by passers-by. They really need a scoreboard facing the west-enders. Nothing fancy...just time and score. Hell...I'd take time-only. The Rowdies make the East side rock. A totally different event on that side of the field. Nice evening and a good crowd. I look forward to more exciting opponents.

I can't imagine soccer parking will be bad with a 5:30pm start. The scrimmage and football game don't start until 2 hours later.

I thought it was a pretty lame column too. I hate wishy-washy.

Cool beans!

Nuthin' fancy...

Anymore, I'm exited when I see someone older than me described as "young."

Sounds like someone might have this guy on their Fantasy Football team?

It has to eat at him to constantly be looking up at AKRON in the standings, year-in-year-out. Not what he envisioned when he skipped town, I'm sure.

We'll be holding our 12th annual Zips Rib Burn off on Saturday in Lot 9. If you were on-the-fence regarding what to cook, feel free to join-in. Last season, the ABJ covered it.

Thankfully there are teams like K.e.n.t. who always collapse. That gives me hope for next week. K.e.n.t. always finds a way to beat themselves. But I'm getting ahead of myself....

ZipswWin! has a good story about a couple of former UA baseball players that wore their OSU gear to the Zips/OSU game a couple years ago. Sucks when former players sport opponents gear. It's cool to see a Zips player outwardly proud of his school. You'd think it is common, but it isn't. Makes me want to support him all-the-more.

Referees? Thug play? Classless fans? Wah wah wah... Ohio State was down 1 man for a significant portion of the game, and the Zips couldn't do squat with the advantage. Allowing a goal with 2 seconds on the clock, to a short-handed team? That's terrible. Call a spade-a-spade -- The #1 ranked Zips laid an egg last night. It happens...man-up and accept it. There could be bigger eggs laid than tying the #19 ranked team 2-2. 11 consecutive shutouts against insanely tough competition is pretty amazing. Time to re-group and start another streak.
