  1. No shit. I thought we were bowing down to kiss ESPNU's ass, now that the game wasmoved to the feed, why can't we play at our regular time?
  2. ...and it can accommodate hockey.
  3. Last year, those big plays (and timely interceptions) was basically all Ken+ had. That's how they stayed in and won all those games. They were exposed in the bowl, and every game since.
  4. Honorable mention, unknown Zips fan; "Hey Flashes, Dan Fouts called, He wants his helmet back."
  5. Quote of the week, by a Can't fan at the east side concession stand: "Dude. They have the game on TV's here!!"
  6. I went after a couple boisterous Can't "fans" on a Cleveland sports forum asking if they were coming etc. Crickets chirping. Fair weather "fans"...
  7. Yeahhhhhhhh. Have it sitting in the canal so you see it when you cross the bridge into the ballpark. Most people enter through downtown though don't they (I never have). It would look good sitting outside the left center wall. Imagine the tie-in, if a player hits the duck he gets a steak dinner,
  8. Riding the Towpath today beside Canal Park I saw the tie-in with ducks. Dozens of them reside in the park between CP and Children's Hospital.
  9. I gave up whining about non-traditional minor league names long ago. If this gets more kids interested in baseball, hell yeah it's a good move. That's what baseball needs. Not us old farts who want everything to be _____ Sox or the major league affiliate's name. We're already buying tickets. The sport dies without getting kids involved. At least they got away from purple. I might wear their stuff now. I just can't tell if the duck is pissed or constipated.
  10. The only thing I have to say is, the players are better, but nothing else. We're the first team to hold Wenning under 300 yards. We have offensive stats as good as or better than theirs. But we lost by multiple scores. Why? We still make the same drive-killing penalties we did with Ianello, the most infuriating is not knowing where the hell to line up. They've had a season and a half to clean this shit up. And we're still killing our own drives, and rescuing opponent drives. Same with the dropped passes. Oh weel, it's almost basketball season. Wonder if I can trade the rest of my season tickets in?
  11. Zips Need a New Arena for More Fans by thousands of fans who don't want to sit in the JAR.
  12. No. Me too.
  13. You didn't happen to see the sheriff there, did ya?
  14. Is it just me, or does ESPN3 suck?
  15. They're checking into other spring leagues. According to their Facebook/
  16. Yep
  17. ahhhhhhhhhhhh I get it!!!!
  18. Funny you pick on MMA which has statistically less concussions than football, instead of boxing where the whole idea of the sport is to CAUSE a concussion. There are many ways of winning an MMA match besides knocking the other guy out or going the distance and waiting for the judges. If you doubt that I'll have my son come over and demonstrate. And in all the centuries that people have been watching men fight (including in football and hockey) you're the first to turn it into a homosexual fantasy. What is it about buff men in tight shorts that makes you uncomfortable?
  19. Hell why don't we just have our own playoffs between the non-power conferences? Do we have to follow the same bowl game BS the power conferences do?
  20. I agree, but it's not impossible. The Portage Countians did it last year. Our next opponent hasn't always been Orange Bowl contenders. It is possible to change your culture. With the right people in charge.
  21. That has nothing to do with the quality of the team (we would still get smoked in I-AA). It has to do with what happens if (a very big IF) we do with the way the NCAA is structured. Some aspire to getting into a pizza bowl, or getting blasted out of a BCS bowl. Or possibly becoming a big time school and still not get accepted to the championship. Right, Boise State/TCU? Some would like to see us play against schools with similar budgets and go for a national championship. I would take a national title over a discount muffler bowl win. Both hinge on our eventually getting our shit together, and I understand we have a better chance of hitting the lottery.
  22. It's the same letdown we have had in NE Ohio since before I was born. Teams look like they're going to actually get out of the basement and do something, and they let us down. What stings about this game is the way we played the first five games. Yesterday it was clear they didn't want to be there. And neither do I now.
  23. Can't wasn't any good last year??? 11-3 8-0, nationally ranked, and a bowl game is not very good? Toledo, Ohio, Cincinnati, Can't, all went to bowl games. All under tOSU's shadow.
