Just stumbled upon this article. Our friend RI expected significant improvement in his second year. The scary thing is we heard the same things about Terry's team heading into this season. Let's hope it works out better for him. Back to the JMU game. I still don't know what to expect from this team. Nothing from last week gave me confidence we'll win. Last season we had trouble containing running QB's so that aspect of the Dukes game concerns me. Honestly I just hope we win, and that there's more than 15k in the stands...

Did we ever discover the reason this happened?

Exactly how I feel. I wish Zips basketball and football would become the "place to be." Soccer was able to achieve that for years and it is an unbelievably boring sport. What exactly is there to do in Akron that's better than going to a Division 1 sporting event? Seems like students would rather get drunk and pass out, while the rest of NE Ohio would rather sit at home on their couches and do nothing.

I really hope we don't lose the JMU. They also have beaten FBS teams before. I remember them beating a ranked VT team a few years ago. Watching this weeks games, I don't think there's any team that played worse than our Zips.

Never thought I'd say this, but if the offense can start scoring we'll be okay. A part of me wants to believe that those awful announcers last night were correct. How they praised the UCF offense's every step, maybe they are good? If anything take last night as a learning experience for both the team and fans. As Zips fans we can't get optimistic. The team has learned it's going to take a lot of work to get better. We weren't going undefeated anyway, jut strive for a .500 record and get a bowl game. Progress.

Moving the ball....and he throws a pick. More concerning is why another screen pass on 3rd down?

Apparently UCF's quarterback is a combination of RG3 and Brett Favre.

UCF only got a field goal!! #POSITIVES #COMEBACK

Bad and overly conservative play calling. Nothing going downfield and we'll be shut out this half. Best case scenario is 28-0 after 2.

Yeah that last touchdown was the nail in coffin. I mean the guy almost fumbles and we still let him throw a long TD? really?

4th & 1, got an AWFUL spot but why not go for it? The Zips defense isn't going to stop UCF all game. What do we have to lose?

I thought we'd be able to at least keep it close, but this defense is pathetic.

Well the defense played well for one down. These announcers have focused 99% of their discussion on UCF.

I heard that Pohl, Chisholm, and Terry Bowden all have the flu.

A school that needed a new football stadium, built a new football stadium? Wow what a huge mistake!!!

XBox 360, Apple TV, etc also have apps for Watch ESPN. Just have to make sure your TV or Internet provider is supported. If not you can always try to look for some of those shady online streaming sites. Just be prepared for a hundred ads and pop up windows.

I heard UA will be checking ZipsNation to decide the next president, so all of this arguing is really going to make a difference...

I really enjoyed watching the Zips on STO, so this is very disappointing. Sounds like they will be showing more games to less people. I don't live in Ohio and don't have Time Warner so I will only be able to catch them on ESPN. Had TW a few years ago and seemed like they kept taking away channels and bumping up the bill. Because that makes sense. I guess as long as all the games are still available online I can manage.

I remember standing in the JAR lobby. I saw the "real" Zippy walk in, walk up to the statue, do a facepalm and pretend to cry. That's about how I feel when I see it.

Wonder if they will ever get rid of the ugly Zippy in the lobby.

I still think it's going to have a lopsided outcome. It's the first game, and while we've improved I'm sure UCF has as well. 37-10

So they posted a photo of the JAR lobby being partially renovated. Mentioned new lights. This is what we call "putting lipstick on a pig." With the thousands of things wrong with the JAR, lighting in the lobby never seemed like the most important.

I feel like after what happened last season, UA will stay away from promoting specific players.

We'll finish with a winning record. Bowl game.

Love the "fight" that happens in the background. haha Probably should have reshot the interview.
