It's coming along.

That's the plan, as much of campus as I can too.

I'm sure a lot of you will thinkk this is nerdy or lame, but I'm attempting to build the Info in Minecraft. This is my first time posting images, I hope it works.

I still think we win one or two more, We've faced most of the top teams in our schedule. Our defense is improving, our offense is scoring quite well, minus the BG game. Have a little faith people! Also, if you want to get down to it, the last few years with Ianello the team had a lot more talent. As the team is nearly purged of any skill, Terry steps in and does way more with a lot less. I realize what the record is, but few games can you count us out, even late in the 4th. Our kids are visibly more driven under Bowden. They look like they have confidence, the never give up, they take ownership of the situation. I'm sure recruits see the difference between this year and last. Sure, we won't land them all, but being one big play from winning, be it on offense ore defense is a selling point to me. Tell them that if they were in there in that crucial situation, we would have gotten a stop, or a first down. I have as much faith as ever in Terry Bowden as ever, he was the right hire. I'm so tired of people crying on this board. He had nothing to do with the downward spiral that happened prior to his arrival. What has he done since coming here recruiting wise? Look how much the incoming freshmen are contributing on this team, then look how many had committed to our team prior to his arrival. Look at the few transfers that he brought in, what have they done? Look at the position changes, was Grice moving to the DL the right call? I'm pretty sure TB knows what the *#$@ he and his star studded staff(none of which we'd have without him) are doing! If you can't buy in, then cash out! PB1719

Anyone that beats us by 6 pts deserves to be in the top 25.

Beleieve Dadgummit!!!!

2 of the following, Saftey, CB, LB, DL 1 LS, and one burner at RB or WR, a CJ Spiller type guy that can catch, run, and get separation.

I don't think it's a matter of being out coached, we have no depth. Also, I agree about them attacking our biggest weakness. Coaching can't change lack of talent. I thought we had them at the half. We need more run stoppers. Fixing that only comes with recruiting. I cant see us getting much more output from such an inexperienced/ thin defense. I think Amato is doing fine. I hate to say it, but this is a rebuilding year. I do think we can pull off a couple more wins, but we are not going to do much more until we get more talent.

Thank you very much, it looks like the weather's supposed to break around 11-12, hopefully this is the case. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all there! Let's Go Zips!

Most of them are into band, What time do they start?

I'm bringing my entire family to the game tomorrow, what's the tailgating situation like this year? I'm trying to turn my kids intrests towards UA athletics. I've been to games as a college student, and with my wife, but where is the stuff geared towards the younger ones? (8, 12, 15 and 18)
-
I think that's the best part about this team in general, people are buying in and are willing to do whatever is in the best intrest of the team. Look at all of the position changes. Cody Grice is doing a fine job. Presley, Caponi, Griggs are all good, we just need more depth.

WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN ON OUR FIELD!

No worries. We'll win, I already guaranteed it. -
I 've always responded well to "constructive criticism"
-
I think Pratt is a top notch recruit with tons of upside. However, criticism shouldn't be reserved for those with lots of experience. I hope that he is being criticized in every practice and film session. That actually extends to all our players. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see criticism as completely negative. I just hope he takes it constructively. That being said, he's a huge, strong receiver that needs more targets, he's perfectly fit for jump-ball situations down the field. I don't see many opponents that can keep him from catching the ball at it's highest point.
-
Good point, we'll just have to score 10 points per possession
-
Agreed, but those offensive numbers sure are purdy.
-
I for the most part agree with what you're saying. We stopped the running backs pretty well, and pass defense is our number one concern. However, when we had the receivers locked up downfield, a 30yd QB scramble instead a coverage sack is demoralizing. When we did spy, our LB 's got beat a few times I think because he was a little out of position, it wasn't by much. When Dysert cut through the gaping bole in the line, the LB should have been there
-
Mark my word, we win next weekend. I'd bet the house on this.
-
I'm wondering how we stand tall against a solid SEC receiving corps, augmented by a decent running game, but against Miami's non-factor running game (outside of the QB scramble), we let them throw all over us. That's no disrespect to Miami, I know that we wouldn't shut them down completely, but at least a few more punts would have been great.
-
I respectfully disagree. Akron's defense had a few really good stands, only to have the wind taken out of their sails by a ridiculous penalty. When the QB tucks the ball and runs, he loses all of the special rules allotted to them. He didn't slide to protect himself, if it were a RB that was hit in those situations, no flag. Looking at the replays, most of the other personal fouls there was no leading with the helmet. It's heart wrenching to see all of those extra unearned yards handed away. I'm not saying that our boys should have won, but the game was handed to them on a silver platter. also, the one catch was certainly a drop. That being said, clock management and poor defense didn't help. The defense makes a few stops and the tides are turned. I believe there are a number of things that you can accurately blame the loss on.
