    We apparently can't pick up 40 yards in 30 seconds to attempt a field goal for the win, so we'll take the knee and head to OT.

    I'd rather them take a knee and send it into OT than have Nicely throw an INT and give Ball State a chance to win it.

    Point taken.

    I've said from the beginning of the year Nicely wasn't what everyone had him cracked up to be.....when are those who were picking him as the man going to show up on the board and admit they were wrong! He is even worse than I thought he would be. TERRIBLE!

    I'll eat some crow. I thought Nicely looked like a decent quarterback last year, and expected some advancement this year. He's not in an ideal situation, granted, but it doesn't explain being downright terrible. Less than 50% passing and 11 picks to 3 tds? Sheesh.

    I'm done with Pat. Man, this guy is blowing it. WTF! We CAN win this game and we are (He IS) throwing it AWAY!

    I just don't get it. I really don't.

    Why does Ianello stick with Nicely? Is he REALLY the best option? Are we "playing for the future" with our Soph QB? He certainly doesn't appear to have "it."

    It's beyond frustrating to watch. And it's not only the deplorably ill-timed turnovers, it's also the throw aways with open receivers, the balls that are 5 yards over the receivers heads, and the ones that dribble into the ground 10 yards in front of open RBs in the flat. Sickening.

    3rd down and 2 at the 50 with about a min left in the half. Akron is moving the ball well and then a great play call. Shotgun formation run up the middle for almost no gain. I guess coach I just gave up on the FG this time.

    It really is painful to watch. I'm flipping windows back and fort between Akron/Ball State and Can't/Temple.

    I was trying earlier today to remember what it was like to watch a college game that mattered for my team. Apparently the last 5 years have caused those memories to be fuzzy. I guess "not losing" is as close as we can get to "mattering" at this point. Sad...really sad.

    I think you could make a case for any of the top 3 in the East to be the favorite. Can't had the most significant losses, Akron had the most transition, and OU just had the most...surprises.

    Anyone out there buy a family plan this year? If so, PM me. I have a question for you.

    I love our Zips, but our programs are nowhere near ready to "move up". it's a shame because this shakeup could be an epic one over the next couple years that will make it nearly impossible for schools to escape "MAC" level conferences. The other thing holding us back is our friends down the road in Cbus. Akron struggles for it's own identity even among it's own citizens. Don't think everyone else is blind to the fact that you can purchase a Buckeyes hat, shirt, slippers, jacket, etc at your local Target around here but would be hard pressed to find a Zips Tshirt. This will take YEARS to change, if ever.
