I agree to an extent. Do you need to play larger schools? yes you do, but you have to avoid "payday games" unless it is an home-home series.Only time will tell if the start playing stronger schools no matter what venue it is at.Also this is a conference matter. The MAC west is so bad(not just bad in football). They need to do like the other onferences have done and start "enforcing" stronger teams

JD will go back to coaching a west coast style offense like he did at Pitt and do well with it. He was a good OC at Pitt when he ran that type of offense.Living here in the Phoenix area and having an roommate that is a huge ASU fan, I brought this to his attention and he is so against even the idea of bringing JD for even an interview. He dosen't think that he is a bad guy. However he is even wondering how can he can get an interview when he could not get it done with the zips. After the way the Zips was ran at the end, running the 3-3-5, QB and line issues that move is going the wrong way for them.

"According to Wistrcill, Ianello will make $375,000 a year on his initial five-year pact and will have $800,000 at his disposal to hire a staff."That's very scary: in the same paragraph, it says "Ianello will become the second Notre Dame football coach to be head man for the Zips, following in the footsteps of Gerry Faust (43-53-3, 1986-1994)."A sign of things to come?

I did not want to give them(or any other Mac school for that matter) any hits. This just pisses me off to no end Being bad is one thing, but showing it in the way they did is even worse!

As the title states, this does piss me off! Was on youtube this morning and I found this from Bobcat TV: I WILL NOT TAKE THE "WOE IS ME STANCE!" Even with all this issues this year.Thanks OHIO U for having an professional production of the Zips brain damage this season.

I voted for 10k.You have to be careful with going more than that because you start pulling form other venues (Civic, E.J Thomas)and so on. The other option is totally rebuilding the JAR. I understand that they (and I mean the city) want something to draw people downtown that is not the Civic and the bars. If they do it right it will be a win-win for Akron and the city.

you can even watch the first game live online, or on Versus!http://www.ufl-football.com/home

"small" might be an understatement. This might turn into something huge.

that made me think of this form homestarrunner:http://www.homestarrunner.com/senormortgage.swf

The Big 10 is changing, the issue is that the talent is going south, or west. The Big Ten is dead is because none of the top talent want to go to on of these schools because of what happend Saturday. The MAC is taking talent away, but not enough. Playing time may be important to players, but the conference need to step it up, but I don't think that they will do that.

I like option #3, but make Maryland come to Akron

I did not watch the game yesterday, but what I am reading 2 QB's was used. Is this their plan for this season, or Morgan State was the "test" game to see if it would work?Also I know that 41-0 is a beat down of any kind, but did Deryn "King Koopa" Bowser (Yes I am calling hm that now) have his coming out party?

According to ticketmaster, Morgan State is sold out. The Indiana game there are seats in section 208, but ticket network says that there are 2 in section 113 website belowhttp://www.ticketnetwork.com/default.aspx?ref=GAN

I just did the PUS/ ZIPS game. 55-7 PSU ouch

Wait and see. A six win season will earn JD a one-year re-upment. Any titles, even a tie for 1st in the East will earn at least two more years. The new AD can't afford to make major changes with a program making progress. Less than six wins though, and JD's history. BTW -- who's JB?Sorry about that, I meant to say J.D, not JB. I don't even think that a share of the MAC East saves his job. I said in another thread that 8 wins saves his job. They need a plan, or it's over for him

I know its a dry heat. But is that Phoenix sun gettin' to ya? What kine o' "plan" are ya talkin' bout there, Desert Zippy? My "call", BTW is a 6-6 finish and a tri-championship of the MAC East with UBuff and the Contemptable Owls. What's your plan?Plan? Meaning are they going to run until the sun go down? Play shootout every week? Try to win 7-9 games and have a plan to do it? A " tri champion will not save JB's job. Walt Harris is too easy of an answer for them if bad news happen. My question is: Can they fix the sinking ship and what to do about it? Aplan is needed.

Seems like an idea. Just by the activity on this board alone, there has to be over a dozen people who would tune in. I think that's how Rush got started.Now I think that it is time, but who will do it?

A fluke? There was no fluke here. They got beat. I remember that they had someone from their newspaper(it's on this site somewhere). saying that it was no fluke! Can it happen again? You bet it can!

Just like it says. Do they even have a plan for this season? Are they going to wing it? Play their hearts out? You make the call!

I totally respect you said, but I know that PSU already knows that the Zips will be pass happy, and will defend that way(either by prevent, dropping LB's or zone blitzing). Joe Paterno may be old, but he is not stupid. You have to throw them off their game and make them adjust to us, then change it up. keep them wondering. After all that go for the juggular when they are not expecting it!

Captain, To win this game, they have to do the following:1) Run the football! Sounds simple enough. If you start throwing the football around, PSU will start playing defence like that.2) No mistakes! Already stated3) No big plays! If and this is a big "if" the zips play the 3-3-5, they will have to stop the run and they have to prove that.4) Keep the game close! If Toledo can beat them there, then the Zips can(the power of positive thinking)5) Finally, Use what the people are saying about them how they are going to get blown out! This is a very winnable game no matter what anyone says

I need to get back there to see the finished product and see a game. better than what they got here in Phoenix

I forgot that OU was a top 10 party school every year http://campuslife.suite101.com/article.cfm...ls_for_20092010

It is a thing of beauty. I got the chance to see the info up close fro the first time over memorial day weekend (I was in town from Phoenix). It is the class of all of the MAC

why should they play wake forest? if you want to play bottom-feeders, at least go to the pac-10, or big-10
