Bravo! Very well said.

Nice to see that I was not the only one to make a ridiculous statement in this thread.

This is reason enough. You could have saved yourself a lot of typing. Ah, brevity! Shut up, GP1.

I think today proved what we already knew. Brian Wagner is the most valuable player on the team and he has absolutely no competition at all for that title. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE.

The failures of Rob Ianello have been well documented on this forum. A record of 2-22 speaks for itself. I really hate to beat a dead horse, but humor me for a minute... This year's Ohio game was the turning point for me. In the parking lot after that game, you could sense all hope was gone. It was like we were standing around at the funeral home at a close friend's calling hours. There was no sense in searching for bright spots any longer. It was a sad drive home that Saturday. Then came the Central game and despite the Chippewas trying to choke the game away, RI makes the call to go for 2 and the Zips lose again. Although the story at the time was spun that the players supported that decision to try and win the game at the end of regulation, the facts seem to say different because it is at this point of the season the Zips quit. They travelled down to Oxford and put on one of the most listless, uninspired, flat performances I have ever seen, setting up Can't week. Or should I say ruining Can't week. Can you ever remember less excitement leading up to the Wagon Wheel game? No banter. No pride. No hope. The best part of the season was Robbed from us. Pun intended. The Zips delivered a 35-3 embarrassment. There is nothing worse than losing to Can't and we got shellacked. We weren't even in the same area code. A defeat so sound that Can't fans didn't even feel the need to gloat. Two more road games and two more beat downs. As a matter of fact, two games where our opponents were able put entries into their record books at the Zips' expense. So here we are folks. Rob has obviously lost the team. They stopped playing for pride. Chisholm's sideline performances exemplify the surrender, but obviously he's not the only one who quit. I can not forsee any way RI gets the team behind him again. He has to go. The University can not afford to keep him another day. I gave this guy all kinds of benefit-of-the-doubt. Not because he did anything to warrant it. It was all out of love for the Zips and wanting them to succeed so badly. It was all out of understanding the disaster to come if this experiment failed. He totally blew up the program. Installed an offense that no other staff is going to run. We are so deeply invested with this guy that if I thought there was a small sliver of hope, maybe we should give him a little more time. But that sliver isn't there. This is a total bust. He has to go. Now.

That seems like a very long time ago.

How long until the trigger is pulled? He has got to be gone. The team has completely quit on him. If he comes back for year 3, you will be able to hear the crickets chirping in the Info. Who in their right mind is going to pay to come back and watch any more of this steaming pile of shit? Whether I am in my right mind or not is still in question.

I hope Frenchy has time for a couple of Bell's before he heads for home. Sounds like he could use a drink or two.

I just busted off 12 push-ups. Drop and give me 19!

I just busted off 12 push-ups.

Kinda reinforces what I thought I saw in the Miami game.

Moore of the same!

And the hits just keep on coming!

Stay tuned. More exciting action to come!

First down from the 12, empty backfield 5 wide. Are you freaking kidding me?

Frenchy is just trying to get through this. Aren't we all?

If this rumor turns out to be true, I predict JZ84 will be purchasing another round of Unibroue beers. Can I get a "hell yeah!"?

I had a meeting this morning, so I missed the first quarter, but listened to the rest of the game on the radio. Wish I hadn't. Not really a whole lot to say about it, just totally embarrassing. Especially Ianello's total 100% punk-ass little bitch move he pulled at the end of the first half.

My heart just almost stopped.

Just heard another Akron reference on XM91...Eddie George said he could probably suit up this weekend and run for 75 yards against the Zips. Yes, I am being serious.

I thought you were talking about Keener's TWENTY beers during the Ken+ game! Holy Smokes, TWENTY Keener? I had a little help. We were short on time and quiteI a few beers from 200. We went for it. No field goal try!

That's a good suggestion. Probably better than mine. I was going to suggest dressing up like Dee Snider and singing Were Not Gona to Take It on campus until something is done. How 'bout a compromise? I'll chip in to run this ad in the Buchtelite: HEY ROB, If that's your best, Your best won't do!

I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the following posters (and their families). ZipsWin, JohnnyZip84, Captain Kangaroo, and Dr. Z (among others) made this football season very enjoyable for me. Keep the faith for the Zips and I will see you at a basketball game soon.

GoZips, You can't start a thread like this without throwing us at least a small bone. Why...that's as cruel as the band eating pizza in the JAR.
