Blue & Gold

+1Though I might add, I don't care what they do... as long as we stick with the gold helmets.

What radio station is the game on? I thought it was going to be broadcast on 1350, but no such luck.

9,962? I had other responibilities and was unable to attend today's game. What would you say the actual, butts-in-the-seats number was?

Whoever our new coach may be, he's got to make an in-home visit with Hoobler before he even unpacks his bags.Is it kosher for an AD to keep in touch with current potential recruits while a head coach search is ongoing?

Thanks for the link, Sarge. The end of the article states that he is not academically eligible for a D-1 scholly & will likely have to go the prep school route. That actually may end up working to our advantage, because I have to think this year's recruiting class is going to be awful. Give the new regime a year or two, though, and we could possibly see Mr. Howard repping the blue & gold.

To add insult to injury, did I actually hear Rob Giddell sign off by saying, "Goodnight to all you folks up north in CLEVELAND"?!?! RAT BASTARD!!!

I hope Columbus State loses their first game.

I'll update my post and bump it up.K. C. Keeler - HC, DelawareBobby Hauck - HC, Montana

K.C. Keeler - HC, U of Delaware Blue HensorBobby Hauck - HC, U of Montana GrizzliesThese guys have built these respective universities into two perennial D-IAA powers.

Thanks. Temple's an excellent looking team. CRUSH K.e.n.t for us this week! And good luck against CMU. They're also a very good team.

I feel bad for the players too. You could tell so many people wanted to "boo" the coaching last night - and not a few did - but it's college and you don't want the players to get the wrong idea and mistakenly think you're booing them. Thus, the game was largely just as quiet as a funeral last night. Wow, how demoralizing.As an aside, to add to the bitter irony that has become this inaugural season @ the Info - the weather. It has been ABSOLUTELY perfect for EVERY game thus far.

<br />we will lose to BG and EMU will make it a close game and we may pull it out. as for whoever posted about us making everyone their bitches next year, he also said that we would make PSU our bitch too so hes been on something for a while. should probably check into some sort of rehab treatment center. he obviously isnt seeing what everyone else is seeing. I mean it took Temple a few years to build what they have now. Oh, i didnt get to watch the game due to the fact that i was working, but i did see the box score and noticed they put wackerly in. Was it just during garbage time, or did nicely get hurt, or whats the deal with that?<br /><br /><br /><br />Wackerly got some pure garbage PT. Nicely is fine.

That's probably the worst game I've ever seen in person, and I've been following Zips football religiously for about 16 years now.

That's better than watching the Zips on The U.

Man, anyone else remember how one of Alex Allen's goals for the season was to go undefeated @ home? Poor Double-A. For that matter, poor anyone even remotely interested in Zips football.

Crap. Campbell was forced to rush a punt, hut a line frive & Temple returned it for a TD. 21 - 17 Temple. 6:15 till the half.

This would be the first night I'd say our attendance really sucks. This is the sort of crowd I'm also expecting for the EMU game.

Temple's loss to Villanove was shameful. They had an embarrassing collapse to end the game. If Pierce were playing back then, Temple would only have one loss - to Penn State. However, due to their weak strength of schedule, I think they're overrated and are in for a rude awakening at the Info tonight!Go Zips!

Zipsbandman,You said, "That's why non-football playing schools kick our butts in this conference." Am I missing something obvious? Who are you referring to?

I looked around LetsGoVikes.com for about 5 minutes and didn't see anything about the Akron scrimmage.Anyhow, whatever. We almost lost to Walsh in a scrimmage last season. Lol.

Was that really the same Zips OL we've been watching all year? Tonight we had the semblance of a running game and I don't believe Nicely was sacked a single time.

Man, this is why soccer scares me. Though we are clearly the best team in the nation, with a game like soccer, even we can get beat on any given night. Tight, low-scoring games; the ball bounces the wrong way once or twice...This really makes me nervous when I think about the playoffs' single-elimination format.

Now let's keep our fingers crossed that St.V/M's Jakaar Sampson decides to stay home & rep in the blue & gold!He'd be our 2nd 4-star recruit. And I'm hoping that at least half the hype coming out of Illinois about Ennis is true. The articles I've read essentially make him out to be Illinois' (let alone Chicago's) #1 PG. Ennis & Sampson would be a GREAT class!Stay home Jakaar! Keep it real! Go get him Willie!

For clarification, Ennis is presently a high school JUNIOR, right?
