At the JAR or Central-Hower? What time? Thanks.

Thanks, George.

I've never personally met either JD or Steve French, but I love both. We're lucky to have guys in those positions who are as passionate about the Zips as we are. Listening to the Big Time Sports show right now & Joe's pimping the Zips -vs- Coastal Carolina game.

My $0.02: I much prefer the Z to the A-Roo logo. But I do miss the Zipper stripe. Haven't seen that in a few weeks. I do appreciate how they are alternating the uniforms. However, I'd say my favorite combo has been the all whites we wore @ Michigan & @ BGSU. I like the gold pants as well, but I thought the white pants w/ blue jerseys we wore @ home vs. UL-La. were great. Very sharp.

is pretty sweet. Gave me goosebumps. It's Terry Bowden in the locker room after the Miami win.

GT Courtesy of the ABJ. I appreciate how George begins his article: "The score of UA’s 43-3 loss to Ohio speaks volumes. It says that the offense stunk, the defense played wretchedly and the special teams followed suit. Time to compartmentalize, forget, blow it off and move on." It's so refreshing to have a Zips' beat writer who tells it like it is and holds the team accountable. For 20 years Terry Pluto would write, "Hey, it's just the Zips. They tried hard. Nobody cares anyway. Now, about those Cleveland Browns/Ohio State Buckeyes..."

Well, he's no Dri Archer, but I like how DJ Jones looks carrying the rock. He may not have the home run potential of Chisholm, but he hits the hole more quickly and harder and more determined and runs north-south. DJ seems okay if he only gets 5 yards, whereas Chisholm tries to dance around & hit the home run every time. Consequently, he never hits it.

Great Homecoming weekend @ UA. Football - L Soccer - L Volleyball - L Women's Soccer - L When's Rifle season begin?

Agreed and agreed. ESPN3 is great. The games have sucked.

Um, yeaaaah... so, if you could go ahead and get all of our players compliant before the season begins... yeaaah, that'd be great.

George Thomas courtesy of the ABJ. In the article Coach Bowden states he is/was expecting the QB to contribute to the running game. This runs contrary to his previously stated ideal of not having the QB run, no? Also, GT gives an intriguing suggestion: in goal line situations, put Cody Grice @ RB. Cody was an RB in high school. It could be our own version of The Refrigerator (I'm dating myself).

Thanks for the update. I'm fine with that. The lot across from Canal Park is crying out for development.

it concerns me that Coach Bowden says that BG "overpowered" us. Link. We're not going to get much bigger than DT's Caponi (SR 6-3, 278), Grice (SO 6-1, 283), Hollis (JR 6-1, 295) & McCray (SR 6-2, 318) or DE's James (SR 6-3, 250), Capi (SR 6-3, 249) & Presley (SR 6-2, 223). Looking at all of those Seniors, if our DL is getting "overpowered" this year...? Uh, oh.

In recent year's past we would have won 3-0. So the win is great but the lack of being able to finish still has me concerned.

Very discouraging loss.

Agreed. If you can't run it in on two tries from the 1, then the other team deserves to win.

South Carolina beats UCF by 3. 28-25.

You guys are lame if you are underwhelmed by a 6'10" 300-pounder bringing down a backboard. Talk about hard to please. What were you expecting, a 1st-ballot Hall-of-Famer Shaq dunk?

Of course not undefeated, but who do we play every year whom we do not dominate? Who would our neck-and-neck rival be? We don't have anyone on our annual schedule who consistently beats us.

If this is our standard, then we can't have a rivalry with anyone, as we dominate everyone.

Someone had to be recording that, right?

The video feed is not working. I enjoy our annual drubbing of Columbus & I've been looking forward to watching this match (online) since the schedule was released.
