Captain Kangaroo

There is no God.

No RPO!!

No penalties!!

Northwestern was way less beatable than this Indiana team. We’ll never have a better chance to beat a big 10 team than tonight .

Is Steele on the travel squad?

Undercuffler with a pick six. Who knew?

Going strictly off memory, I think we’ve made one fg over 40 yards since the day Arth began his tenure, through today?

FIFY?

It’s never a good thing when your football team’s offensive output matches that of the soccer team.

Every single time we’ve had the opportunity to make a big play we’ve completely botched it with penalties, blown assignments and mistakes. We just don’t want to win.

Stopped at two distilleries today. At both places someone recognized my Z-logo shirt and struck up a conversation about the game tomorrow. Fun to visit areas where they follow their local team.

In my best Brent Musberger voice - “You are looking live at the fourth floor of the Staybridge Suites in beautiful Lexington Kentucky…”

Interesting read

Undercuffler had a magical 2019 season where he threw 41 tds vs. 10 int’s. If you drop that statistical anomaly, beginning in 2018 through today, his combined stats are 331 completions on 601 attempts (55%). 24 tds and 23 int’s. That isn’t gonna cut it, and his game last Saturday seems to show he hasn’t shaken his penchant for throwing the ball to the other team with alarming regularity. Dijon Jennings isn’t the answer, and Wassel isn’t ready. I hope the benching of Irons last week was a wake up call, because he’s our best chance to win games when he’s healthy. If he’s not, I’d take our chances with student body left, and student body right. Too bad, because I really like our WR’s. I’ll be in Lexington on Saturday and support whoever Joe puts under center. Go Zips!

If you click on the information @Akron1 provided you can reserve a free slot or two at the UA-Kentucky tailgate. Seems like a no-brainer to stop by if your at the game? They also have $55 game tickets, which is pretty good. I paid $39 x 2 + $36 in fees for my 2 tix (I bought them before I knew of the UA offer).

CJ Nunnally definitely deserved the MAC PoTY award this week, but Bryan McCoy put forth an absolutely heroic effort. He puked at least twice...maybe three times...voluminous releases too...not just a little phlegm...and hardly missed any PT. Game winning scoop-n-score TD. Fantastic game by the kid. @MDZip said it best...this was payback for CMU last season. Or, Buffalo...take your pick. Nice to see God is fair, and offset one of our improbable, impossible 2022 losses.

I wish DJ were as good at moving the chains as he is a posting cryptic tweets. If he isn't mentally tough enough to accept getting benched after some really sub par work, then he's not a D1 QB. This is big boy football. If you go 4 full quarters without moving the chains whatsoever, against mediocre competition, it's next-man-up. I would start DJ against Kentucky. He's shown well against P5 teams in the past. If we go 3-and-out repeatedly, or he makes a crippling turnover or two, then we move to Plan B.

I’ve had enough of The Cuff.

In a very small sampling, Undercuffler seems to see the field much better than Irons. There were plenty of guys open for Irons…he either waits too long or flat-out doesn’t see them. Can’t get enough of The Cuff.

I guess the announcer is the least of my worries…

The guy just announced “Back to punt for Morgan State” as they line up to go for it on 4th and 1!? Is he even in the building?

If anyone has trouble transferring multiple tickets to their Apple Wallet, transfer them individually. I tried for 30 minutes to figure out why I couldn't transfer my two tickets simultaneously...then when I did one at a time, it worked. 🤬 Off to mow my lawn, then head to InfoCision. 3pm ETA.

Regardless of the Richmond game, Morgan State is a mediocre 1-AA program (at best). We'll beat them handily. With Irons' long injury layoff, and the lack of contact in summer camp, I think he was both rusty and skittish. And we still almost won. The Zips will romp this week...Irons will get back on track...I'll have too many Oktoberfests in Lot 9...and we'll move on to Kentucky...where I'll be attending along with my wife. If there are any Zips-Lexington tailgate parties going on...besides mine...feel free to PM me. Night time kickoffs = a full afternoon of tailgating on back-to-back Saturdays!

I'll add Banks and Adams.

Looking forward to seeing him getting sacked, just like the groceries his old man used to handle.
