The trainwreck dumpster fire of an offense was foreshadowed in Spring practice when Bowden named it "Read One & Run". That's not a real offense. We all saw what a joke it was in the Spring Game but it was explained away with blah blah blah excuses. Summer practices were closed so that the top secret offense could be unleashed on an unsuspecting Oklahoma. After all, the Zips were going out there to win, or so I heard. Now, 2 games in, we all see what the deal is. We switched out the Air Raid for a scheme that wouldn't even be considered by a peewee coach. Time will tell how the season will play out, but along the way I am sure Akron fans will continue to do what they do best: Make excuses.

If you actually want to feel worse than you do right now, take a look at the numbers. . . http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2015-16/files/Game2_Pitt_091215.pdf

24 yards in the 2nd half.

I can't see the top of the seal but I assume our new legal name being floated is The Ohio Institute of Technology and the Arts. Whahappen to Polytechnic? What a farce.

Hey everyone, the U has issued a Stadium Advisory for Saturday. Just thought you would all want to know.

Right behind the scoreboard. We would love to meet you.

1. Delectable grub 2. Delicious beer 3. Awesome fans 3 for 3. I win.

Answers tend to vary when people are making excuses.

Road trips to Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati sound like fun to me.

Love me some Ohio's Pride.

What? No Can't? They might pull the upset on Delaware State. . .Da dum tsss.

I agree, CK. This is a must win.

I think some people are sensitive to this subject because of the shenanigans Eastern has pulled over the years with attendance figures with their Pepsi deal. The last thing a real Zips fan wants to see is puffed numbers, especially if the puffed numbers are reported by the media as a real attendance increase, even if it is legitimate in the eyes of the NCAA. I'm not trying to start that conversation. It's been talked to death on the MAC board already. This practice has made Eastern a laughingstock. I don't want to see the Zips go down that same road.

Yep. Just talked to my cousin this morning.

I am going to try to get over to my recent alum cousin's house to get his tickets for a little halftime lubrication myself, Skip.

I gotta believe #91 was Rodney Coe. That was his number last year and when #91 was helped off the field in the 3rd quarter, it sure looked like him. The #91 jersey had no name on the back. I have no idea why his jersey would have been switched unless the #9 was somehow damaged or something. Dunno.

Yeah, but I took it with a grain of salt coming from those 2 unprepared homer schlepdick announcers.

Reading this thread makes me want to kill myself.

I saw this on Landthieves: Pretty fair assessment.

Who's giving up?

There isn't a defense in the country that can make up for our atrocious offense. Pinning your hopes for success on your defense is foolish. It's 2015, not 1955. Today's offenses score points. Like I said last year, Gary Patterson figured this out. We haven't yet.

The defense gave up 41 points. How many points would a mediocre defense have given up? How many would a poor one have given up?

Be thankful for the small things, eh?

Can we see if we can borrow the offensive coordinator from Kenmore or North to install a real offense?
