Captain Kangaroo

RJ Kelly and Vincent Fonte are two names I would have expected to play in more games to-date. I wonder if the staff is trying to get by with what we've got on the o-line until the last 3 games of the year, and then play them? It would be nice to have those two for 2019-22.

Ja-BERRY was berry berry good.

True. But how many have will have made 4 game appearances after Oct 6th? I can't believe there are many, or any?

Miami Fans Not Exactly Brimming with Confidence

Essentially a must-win for the Zips if they want to "Finish the Climb" and make an appearance in Detroit again. Miami doesn't look very good. They aren't terrible...but they aren't an upper-echelon MAC program this year. Has Kato worked on his short, and intermediate passing accuracy during the off week? Will our offensive live start getting a push in their run blocking now that we're done with the Power 5's? Are some new faces going to begin appearing at the RB position? Are MTB and Sands shaking off the rust and going to make an impact in MAC play? This is the Zips' week #4. Will any Freshman be shut down for the year after Saturday? It doesn't seem like we've used a heck of a lot of Freshman this to-date? Does Brian Reinke make some increased appearances at TE? Has Newman Williams ever been this healthy in his post HS career? Wonder how Brimmage's leg is doing? A somewhat quiet start to the Walter Brady era at UA? Does he start flashing his SEC pedigree, or is he just a solid MAC lineman? If the Zips offense makes an adequate showing on Saturday, we win big. I'm going with 38-16 Zips. Unfortunately, in the rain, like it always is at InfoCision.

Does he need to return that framed jersey?

NIU Army Kent Toledo TCU Purdue

We were good enough to beat Nebraska today, not not Iowa State.

Nelson just not sharp enough today.

Give me some Deltron Sands. We need a back that can make someone miss.

Jamal Davis bringing it again!

It is nice that we don’t need to play a perfect game anymore to hang with a team like Iowa State. We’re not playing our best ball by a long shot and we’re still tied

If those are read-option plays, we’re making the wrong reads.

3 consecutive solid quarters by the Zips offense and defense against Power 5 teams. Great football to watch.

Iowa State looking very beatable.

Kato not sharp right now. Needs to take a deep breath.

One final topic from me as we move on from the Northwestern game... What was up with their "Hype Guys?" on the sidelines? They had four...maybe five guys in purple shirts hopping along the sidelines facing the Northwestern team, whooping it up like they'd funneled fifteen Red Bulls prior to the game. They never stopped. For the most part they performed in front of a group of similarly-wired "players" that were either walk-ons, or regular students in football uniforms planted among the real players. It was the oddest thing. Seemed to me is was someone's idea to keep the energy up on the sidelines and keep everyone into the game. But it was lame, phoney, "rehearsed energy." It is the sign of the apocalypse if college football sidelines are moving towards this type of baloney.

Hakeem Article

I think you might be getting his height mixed up with Russell Holmes? Brian was every bit of 6' 7". I met him a couple times my freshman year. Super-nice. Very sad to learn of his passing. I recall he returned to the JAR a couple times after graduation, playing for the Marathon Oil corporate team and scrimmaging the Zips in the preseason.

Nice article on last week's cyclone game.

Most of us were introduced to new Zip Bryce Petersen by the referees on Saturday. But here is a nice story that perhaps explains why the coaches had faith in him to right the ship in the second half at Evanston. Seems like he'll be a solid lineman for the next three years.

2.1 million? InfoCision will be paid off in no time flat! Looks like the ABJ editors are moonlighting for WKSU? Can't read, can't write, can't add.

I’d advise North Alabama to get their appearance fee up front.

I think your definition of a Hail Mary differs from mine by about 20 yards.
