Wagon Wheel Game 2023 - Game Thread
Captain Kangaroo replied to GoZips86's topic in Akron Zips Football
I think you probably need to become interested in the hope that Bullock has grown over the past couple weeks and shows some promise that he could be the leader in next year’s QB derby. Jennings showed almost nothing in the spring. Wasel was overwhelmed. I’d be 240 volt shocked if either saw a meaningful minute on the field next Wednesday. Or 241…whatever it takes. -
I would have been a National Champ in Pong! Coach Cheryl was years ahead of her time.
-
Undercuffler HAS to be done. No way he can see the field again with anything other than a ball cap, a headset and a clip board. Wassel and Jennings are nowhere near ready, or they would have played by now. Hopefully Bullock, with a week and a half to prepare, can somehow carry the Zips to a victory against a terrible Kent team. Maybe our OL can carry Irons up and down the field like Leftwich at the Rubber Bowl?

Penn State went 3-and-out 15 straight times against OSU. That doesn’t sound all that bad? I think I’d take it?🤔
-
I guess if he chooses NIU the Zips will still get him for his grad transfer year.
-
I’d trade YSU’s roster for Akron’s in a heartbeat. They’re stacked. 🤣
-
In the first 7 weeks of 2023 Ohio State has 7 wins. Since 2019, the Zips have 6 total wins.

They say when you have two quarterbacks that you have none. So, the Zips have -3 quarterbacks.

Being an old timer, I recall a Lee Owens team starting off a season something like 0-7, with horrific QB play, and Lee pulled Greg Gromek’s redshirt. And the Zips won their last 4 games. I’m hanging myself in my basement using a crudely assembled noose right now, so I can’t verify that exactly. But that was my late-90’s recollection. stupid electrical cord keeps breaking…guess I’ll have no choice but to go to the Kent game. 🦅 🦨

At least we know our preference is - Death By 1,000 Turnovers.

Pop goes the weasel…
-
Pop goes the weasel… Hes reached his 2-turnover limit. Tahj Time. Death by a thousand turnovers, or death by a thousand 3-and-outs? Tough choice.
-
You can crank on the Jack in the Box handle for only so long before the interception puppet pops out. It’s just a matter of time….

Strong wind at his back.

This gives me flashbacks to the NIU game...who knows how many yards Stewart could rack up? Does he hit 250? I'd start Undercuffler. Put him on a 2-turnover max leash. In goal line and short yardage situations, bring in Bullock...he's exceptionally good there. The Blake Hester led the Arth-era Zips to a blowout win against the Falcons a couple years ago, so anything is possible. If Tibesar can stop the run, the Zips could break through...but I won't bet the house on it. BGSU 31 - Zips 17. Zips offense scores on their first drive, and the defense gets a pick 6. Perez nails a 43 yarder. Other than that, Joe Dunn doesn't get many highlights for his show.

Game 1- South Dakota State
Captain Kangaroo replied to clarkwgriswold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
He'll be 24 in January...at some point college has to end.🙂 -
I was listening to the NFL Network a few months ago and Bill Polian was being interviewed. Speaking about drafting Peyton Manning, he said - "You don't want to know how close we were to drafting Ryan Leaf. It was a dead heat. In the end, Leaf didn't want to show up for a 3rd interview, and Peyton did, so we went with him." So even at the highest level of football, with miles of film, the combine, and personal interviews conducted by people whole's sole job is evaluating talent...it can be tough to judge between a complete loser, and an all time great.

Way-Too-Early MAC Predictions: 2023-2024
Captain Kangaroo replied to LoyalZIP's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
If he was at Southern Utah, and Bandago, who was at Utah Valley, thrived under him, he definitely is an amazing coach! -
NIL, SCHMIL… Our G5 competition isn’t shelling out big NIL money to get players. That’s for P5 programs. Pro teams like the Cowboys or Mets shell out huge money every year and win nothing. The Guardians are always competitive, with 1/3 the budget. You think if Kaulig donated 50k to UA we’d spend it on anything but a sack of beans and some shiny trinkets? The next Getsy, Frye, Johnson, Washington, Jacquemain, Woodson…Dalton Williams…whomever… is out there and it doesn’t take 50k to identify and develop them. Big off-season for Joe in the QB department.
-
Dumb dump passes.
-
After our TD, do we go for 2?
-
Never so happy to see a 34 yard punt.
-
Will our punt make it to our own 40 yard line?
-
Is the demoralized D invigorated by our offense showing a pulse?
-
If Undercuffler moves the ball whatsoever, make him the QB for the rest of the season. Bullock just can’t throw, and he’ll be a junior next year. It’s too late to learn. Make him a slot receiver next season, or he can move on. So unbelievably tired of watching inept football for 5 years.
