Jinxed them big time.

Zips pass blocking was good tonight. Wonder if we’ll be able to run the ball this year?

There is a Zips fan who said he was forfeiting his season tickets if Irons was our QB.

Morel bungling. Should be 28-10, worst case. But it isn’t.

It’s easy to stop ones that don’t.

Can’t bungle against Tennessee. Dropped 1st down pass and the missed fg are inexcusable.

Irons on the sidelines ready to play!!

Your distance estimate is dead-nuts on. Yet to see any other Zips fans. But the Vol fans around us are very drunk and congenial.

Z-I….

If I were betting with my head and not my heart, that'd be my guess too. I hope we can keep them below 30 at the half.

I have recently had to clear space. It is a bummer that you might need to delete some older pictorial history, but that's what you have to do. Generally speaking...no one is going to go back 8...10...12 years to view those images anyhow. They belong to the ages...

The year the Zips beat Pitt, we were 5-7. The year we beat Northwestern, we were 4-8. The year we beat NC State we were 5-6. The year we battled Michigan to the final gun we were 5-7. The year we lost to Virginia Tech 21-18, we were 4-7. I recall a terrible Greg Gromek-led Zips team went into the locker room knotted 7-7 at Illinois once. So why can't the 2022 Zips play Tennessee tight this weekend? I hope we can string together some first downs, and Undercuffler channels his "inner Dalton Williams". And, the defense continues to improve. Then, maybe we have a shot to keep it close. The Zips seem to show up and play a great marquee game when it seems completely improbable. Here's hoping some Zips players catch lightning in a bottle this Saturday and, if not shock the world, at least give it a respect-worthy kick in the nuts.

For anyone making the trip - Tennessee football game day information Parking/Tailgating Info My goal is to tailgate in the Fort Sanders area. If you see a Zips flag waving in the wind, feel free to stop by. I'm sure I can find a cold beer somewhere in my cooler for you! 😁🦘🏉💪

@Sergeant Zip you've kept ZipsNation updated on the comings and goings of Zips in the NFL for many many years. I just wanted to extend my thanks for doing it. It is much appreciated!

The Beacon sports page is up to 7 pages?! I'll assume 6 of them are ads for ED treatment?

I thought that, until Irons was injured, it was the best a Zips team had looked since we beat Northwestern. Great offensive play calling and execution (sans turnovers, of course)...fast and aggressive on defense. We looked like we belonged on the same field as a solid Big10 team, for an extended period of time. I wasn't too keen on seeing more of Irons running. Not because he isn't a great running QB, but because he's not proven to be the most durable Zips QB. And he's our key to a competitive season. I was so encouraged by how we looked to begin the game...and by the beginning of the 4th quarter I had to turn the TV off. I've seen how that type of beatdown plays out too many times over the past few years. You get tired of repeatedly hearing the opponent's fight song, and seeing the opposing fans mugging for the camera and dancing in the stands. Undercuffler has less arm strength than Irons, less pocket awareness, and can't run nearly as well. It is a big step down. I hope Irons is healthy by MAC time. With him healthy, we are a solid MAC team, and can win at least 4 MAC games. Without him, I don't know how much Joe can coach up a kid who's glory days were 3 years ago, against the likes of Central Connecticut State, Bryant and Lafayette. If anyone can, it's Joe. Maybe we run the wishbone against the Vols next week? 😁 I'll be in Knoxville. I've seen the Zips lose every game they've played against a P5/G5 opponent not named BGSU for the past 4 calendar years, so waiting another week or two for Joe and Co to start seeing results of their work in the win column ain't no big thing. 🦘💪

I wish we were facing them with our starting QB, and the team we saw for the first 1.5 quarters (3/8th's) of the Michigan State game. But I'm not too confident that will be the case. Regardless - The wife and I will be in Knoxville to cheer on the Zips. I was there 33 years ago when they had Carl Pickins, Chuck Webb, and a host of other NFL-caliber players. It was a great time. I think we lost 52-9, but that was irrelevant. 😁

Yes. He’s a mediocre FCS QB. If he’s our QB the rest of the season we’ll be lucky to win another game. If Iron’s is healthy we have a chance to win 5 more.

Until Irons got hurt…

He had 1 good FCS season. In his 3 other seasons he had netted 18 TD’s and 15 INT’s.

Irons better just be going pee!

Akron Look-alike Thread I begrudgingly admit some of these are pretty good. 😄

>97%? 😄 I'm glad anyone got it. If you don't have a sense of humor, and a taste for alcohol, I don't see how you could endure being a Zips football fan.

Whichever's campus is in Camp Granada.

Western Michigan is a pretty solid MAC program, and they lost 35-13 to MSU. I'm guessing the Zips are two TD's worse. Shocky the World? Probably not. Give me 49-13 MSU. I'd be thrilled to see us have some success running the ball, and protect Irons better than last week. Defensively, give me somebody with some speed. Week 1 we looked like a bunch of freshman, incumbents and transfer mercenaries thrown together in a 4 week camp. Joe and Co. now have some game tape to work from. I think the Zips will look better this week.
