Rather than to say "I told you so" regarding exit from the list, lets just say............ The bottom ten is is a particularly valuable resource for the Zips. We should be making every effort to schedule Memphis, New Mexico, New Mexico State, San Jose State, UNLV and Western Kentucky for football games.

ETSU has gone to the NCAA in each of the last two years. They played almost exclusively a zone defense and the Flyers hoisted up an amazing 38 three point attempts making a whooping 13.

Have you seen this thread? http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?sh...c=20710&hl=

Agreed. And I love your additions of Army and Navy. I really like Southern Illinois though too...perhaps in place of ECU? Like the idea of 3 divisions; very Conference USAish. Here's an even more decent conference: East: Penn State Maryland Virginia Tech U of Miami Florida Florida State Alabama TCU Midwest: Akron Michigan State Nebraska Ohio State Wisconsin Arkansas Iowa LSU West: Boise State Oregon Oklahoma North Texas USC Texas Texas A&M Utah

:rofl:

Is this going to be like the guy from Iowa? Have you read the rest of this thread????

I love the idea but the new conference is unbalanced with 9 members. I would prefer 12 members that include Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois, and Dayton (moving to FBS). I am curious, where might this leave Can't? Dayton doesn't offer any football scholarships as it stands now...how would they jump from 0 to 85? I propose they add one each year for the next 85 years.

This is the best topic anyone has come up with all year. Congratulations. Interesting that you asked for multiple strengths but only one weakness. I would say that one of the team's strengths is the ability to take one pounding after another. A weakness would be allowing one team after another to pound them.

I think we should do it. But leave western division at 6 teams and increase eastern division to 8 teams. Would help make the MAC unique.

How did the Phantoms do? Do you think they are better than the Lancers this year?

What is the story with SMU, Blue & Gold? I bet things like this happen much more often than anyone would expect. Could Auburn leaving the SEC trigger another conference shakedown? Ahh, sorry - I should have taken the time to be more precise. The SMU "Death Penalty" happened yeeeears ago - when I was a little kid, maybe before I was born, Idk. I do know it was way before I knew anything at all about college football. But SMU used to be a perennial national power. However, they were cited for multiple & serious recruiting violations & had a ton of schollies taken away - almost killing the football program. I believe rather than presenting a precise explanation you have demonstrated that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

I can't believe we lost to those two squads. I think our match strategies have lacked the kind of imagination that it takes to be competitive at the regional level, let alone the national level. How long are we gonna keep our current gun coach? It is my understanding that our current coach had no previous head gun coaching experience before assuming the position here. I think we are overdue for a change.

The guy who wrote the linked piece remains unidentified, but the ABJ should attempt to sign whoever it is at once. If this person were put in charge of covering Zip's football we would on the map be for certain in quick. http://stocktrades101.com/47_taylor-martin...y-hurt-nebraska

and losing both kickers is a problem because.....................

Only Buffalo could get just one conference win the year after changing coaches... Oh, nevermind... Now, now, let's not be bashful about that pasting you put on the Rams. And in our own defense, at least we didn't slide into the conference cellar by losing to the worst D1 football team in the world.

You guys are quick. I said for the previous two seasons that once you guys lost Turner Gill you would be back to the basement of the MAC football pool. I had no idea you could get there so fast.

I can't believe we didn't score a touchdown and miss the extra point in the last minute. That is the first prediction I have missed in two years!

In the 4th quarter it looks like we may pull this one out. Up by 15, I'm not sure what will transpire in the time remaining so that I hit yet another prediction right on the nut. Following today’s game on ESPN gamecast, another idea to increase student attendance at home games occurred to me. If you are a full time student with football eligibility and you show up to the game your name gets put in a hat and we draw names for the opportunity to kick extra points. I think a lot of students would be interested in doing this and we really wouldn’t score that many less points than we do on extra point attempts now. Probably should draw by quarters at the beginning of each quarter because if all the names get drawn at the beginning of the game, most of those who were not selected are likely to leave right away.

Have your eyes checked after you see Butler (I noticed you never answered my question about Evans).

Ever sense I read this post, my hart has ached.

No it won't. Who are we playing after Bufalow? Who are we playing after Bufalow this year? Nobody. I just have my doubts that a win against Buffalo is going to get us off that list. Why? The rules of the Bottom Ten list are very clear. A win gets you off the list that week. Ouch.

I think it may be that the gap between the Horizon League and the MAC is expanding.

No it won't. Who are we playing after Bufalow? Who are we playing after Bufalow this year?

Done.
