I've got to get over it. No one likes a bitter bastard. (little Sam Kinison reference) Last night was a joy. We were laughing, high fiving and having fun. It was totally unexpected, though. None of the people had much confidence in the Zips before the game started. We were all hopeful, of course, but expectations were tamped down. Woodson looked good. Hopefully he continues to perform and improve. By all accounts I have heard, he is a good kid. I love seeing good kids have success. Kids like Hundley. What a workhorse. The determination that he displays on the field energizes the entire offense. Offensive linemen like blocking for a guy like him and his toughness rubs off on others. I have been very critical of the coaching staff but last night they did a good job of putting our offensive personnel in the position to succeed. I have to wonder about moving Milwee downstairs. What was the rationale behind the move? I would love to know the details. Defensively, I thought the secondary looked the best they have all year. By far. Helluva a game by Guiser. Add to that another typical JB1 performance. His chasedown of the Cajun QB on the far sideline was impressive. He is a heat seeking missile. Is he the best Zips LB of all time? Defensive line is tough. I was expecting more pressure off the edge this year, but maybe it will come in league play. We need to stop the dumb penalties on defense. These are needlessly extending drives when the d could be getting off the field. The next game is huge. Solich has owned Akron, winning the last 7 and 8-2 overall. Other than Can't, is there anyone you would rather beat than Ohio? A homecoming victory would be one to grow on, taking the team to 3-2 with Eastern on deck. The Eagles won't be a pushover like years past, but if the Zips can get a couple wins here it sets up quite a showdown in Wood County. I apologize to Dr. Z and the rest of ZN.o for being Debbie Downer in my posts lately. I just want to win.

But the veer is option football and I have not seen the Zips run option this year. Yes, I am bitter because the coaching staff threw the Pitt game away.

What the Zips were trying to do on offense in the first two games is a mystery to me. "Read One & Run" is not a real offense that anyone runs. I would like any of the esteemed posters on this forum explain to me the offense that we were running with Chapman and perhaps refer me to another college team that runs the same scheme so I can see what it is supposed to look like. What I saw last night was mostly back to the no tempo spread. Most of Woodson's runs were not out of a formation with 11 personnel. Disclaimer: My analysis is conducted in conjunction with the consumption of adult beverages.

A fake hand off quarterback run is not read option.

Hopefully we have seen the last of the read one and done. Long live the spread!!!

Wooooooooodddddyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Somebody woke up. Hopefully it's not a mirage.

Holy shit! That looked like a legitimate offense!

Zips fans care about making excuses for Bowden 10X more than they care about attendance.

I can remember as a kid in the late 70's early 80's the NFL announced paid attendance and no shows. I am sure fans in that era also remember waiting to hear if the Browns had sold out in time to be televised on the Cleveland station. I remember watching very fuzzy games at my Grandmother's house on the Toledo station that barely came in. Memories.

Fewer than 9100, I'd wager.

I was going to comment but I don't have much of an appetite for destruction this morning.

Key word in your statement: People

Hirschman did not play vs. Louisiana. You are thinking of JMU.

News flash: Savannah State are the Keystone Kops of D1. The only thing that could be judged from this game was total annihilation or not. Not.

28-9 giving up way too early. What a joke. Never given up yet. This offensive scheme is a joke. Savannah State is not as good as some local hs teams. Hopefully the Chapman experiment is over and Bowden gets a clue and starts running the air raid again. We installed a joke offense for a D2 QB Swallow your pride and run the Air Raid with tempo. Or not and go 1 -11.

Back in the van. This is a 100% embarrassment. No fractions. No decimal places. Savannah State is about as good as Copley High School. Someone needs fired yesterday. 1-11 here we come.

GoZips and Baghdad Bob are brothers.

Dave, President Clinton once had a "current official position" too:

No way! You mean the propaganda put out by the University wasn't the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth? What are we going to do now? It was already submitted as evidence in the court of ZN.O!

No, but no one floated the idea of changing the actual name of the University to Gold Standard U., either. Once the name change was leaked, the response from current students and alumni was overwhelmingly negative. If these same people were indifferent or actually supportive of a rename, it would have been a done deal. UA would be no more. The tag line was a consolation prize for those who were thinking bigger and if you think they weren't hopeful that the name change idea would grow on people as time went on and perhaps slide it on in a little later, you're gullible. My 2 cents. I don't have any proof. However, the "proof" that this wasn't the plan is the word of Czarbourough. His word isn't worth 2 cents to me.

I don't think it's that people don't understand what Polytechnic means as much as it is that it just doesn't resonate with anyone. It's a non-starter.

We still might want to have him checked.
