The actual quantifiable danger of football is not the real issue. If parents believe it is a risk and choose to stop their children from playing the sport is the real issue. I think the scare factor is real.

Yeah? What's that mean? I was taught there were 2 genders and I didn't need a child's car seat until I was 10.

Another county heard from. In wake of new research, brain expert says he doesn't think children should play tackle football

I also think it's pretty legit to post things on a sports forum just for a laugh. Every time someone does it, it honors the memory of Zipmeister.

22,811 with 13,711 no shows.

Everyone should be happy with the 22,811 attendance at least!

Hilltopper is anything but a fool.

Tell us a little bit about what you think about your Trojans, Hemiman.

Bowden spoke of it quickly in the after game presser @ 1:53

What do you suppose the reaction would be to an extension?

An extension? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

No. What is a joke is this coaching staff. You say the expectations are too high. Get real. You picked the Zips to win on the poll earlier. Either you meant that or you are just a blind homer. If you meant it, how can you not be disappointed in the result?

I don't think I have unrealistic expectations. I want the team to perform as well as an upper level FCS team. Is that too much to ask? If we played a good I-AA we would get smoked. That is unacceptable to me in year 6. Bowden has complete ownership of this dumpster fire.

FAU is not FCS.

I have seen a few posts today about the lack of discipline. No surprise to me! How long did it take before Jamal Marcus finally stopped lining up offsides??? You can't get any more basic than that!!!

If the Zips played as well as DZ takes pics everyone would be happy happy happy.

Younger players have to play when the entire junior class is missing.

Recruiting has been a eff'n train wreck ever since Bowden got here. Ray Charles can see it and he is blind and dead. You cannot win with players that no other program in the country was interested in and that is what we have here. The conventional wisdom on this board was that the ratings services are worthless and that the staff knew what they were doing getting diamonds in the rough. How's that working out?? This roster is talent deficient. Who are the playmakers? You have one running back, one linebacker and a safety on this team that would start for any other MAC squad. Truth hurts. The complete whiff that was the recruiting class of 2015 is coming home to roost in a big way. Those kids should be juniors who contribute bigly and they just aren't there. Ulysees Gilbert can't carry an entire recruiting class. I was a big Bowden supporter when he arrived and hoped he would turn the program around. That ship has sailed and he is getting fired after this season and leaving the cupboard absolutely bare for the next staff. I could be wrong, of course and if I am, I will come on this board and eat a huge helping of crow. Prove me wrong Terry.

Let me tell ya. . . I almost didn't answer the bell this morning. Work has been kicking my ass. Didn't get to bed until 2 am last night and when the alarm went off this morning I almost said f it and stayed home. I got up and made the trip. A little late, but i made the mistake of stopping at Giant Eagle in Wadsworth and filling my cooler with beer which I stupidly started pounding when I got to the tailgate. Empty stomach, lack of sleep and alcohol made me take a second half siesta! I will be back in full effect for the Ball State game, though. (Lord willing) Getting plowed helps not feeling angry though. Maybe that's why I asked the original question. ??????

That's not what I was saying at all. Just seems like dissatisfaction coming from people other than me and ZG01 and I wondered why. I can't comment on this game yet. I got pi$$ drunk and missed it. I am watching the replay at home now but I am not surprised by what I am seeing.

Why are people waking up now? No offense to anyone, but I am curious as to why this game is tipping sentiment against Bowden.

Just heard Frenchy refer to the Hawkeyes. Can't beat that.

I think it means more money was coming in on ISU and they are trying to even it up.

I think the $60 deal started as a Black Friday promo and thy just decided to keep it going as a regular deal.

I was listening to XM84 this week and they were discussing the CFL decision. https://www.google.com/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4290708 Varying opinions on the show, but Danny Kanell said "the future of football is in big trouble".
