Idk about defensive really, but it did have some good info in regards to his approach of building the program. He's right in that a strong foundation is necessary for sustained success. He didn't mention them by name, but I believe he was talking about Toledo and how they are able to continually reload even after coaches leave for bigger jobs, and he does have a point. I think we all want a program like that. With that said, there cannot be another season like this one. There is no excuse for it. Looking at next year's OOC schedule, 3-1 is a serious possibility even considering this year's results. YSU, NMSU, and UMASS. Average FCS team and two of the worst FBS teams. Something like 1-3 with a loss to YSU will likely be the beginning of the end for the staff. They seem intelligent, hard working, and want to take the right approach (maybe too correct if you ask me). Still rooting for them....

Would be nice if we could get a similar atmosphere at the stadium and bars for every Zips game as last night. One can dream..

I thought Andrew Wilson-Lamp looked much better than OSU commit Jayden Ballard last night. To nobody’s surprise, Massillon played Keyes. Ball never lies though..he ended up getting injured and was out after that point.

Shock the world! Wish I could make it down there for this one.

Ah...the Enrique Freeman victory cigar!

Ugh...

Some immediate DB help. Had a nice offer list out of HS. https://247sports.com/Player/Kenny-White-46037197/high-school-204649/

All aboard the Tribble Train!

We beat the spread...wooo! If I were a betting man, Gibson starts next game and we've seen the last of Kato.

Good things happen when you blitz...what do you know??!! Where has this been all year. Late 3Q and its a one score game..who woulda thunk?

Welcome and feel free to stick around!

LOL...In my defense..... 1. I didn't think somebody on the board would be calling for a walk on to get on the field. 2. Junk is a similar number and is mostly the lead blocker whenever the play calls for one. 3. He asked whether the player was hurt, and Junk was/is hurt.

FF: We lose two more recruits during the game tonight.

Hardcore rooting for BG tonight to beat OU and knock them out of bowl contention. Them coming into next week with no motivation/potentially mixing younger players in is our only chance at a W.

I think thats another credit to him (and Ali for that matter). True freshman need to know their roles (Virshon Cotton, anyone?)...especially at the beginning of their career. He's been cool and under control all year. Once all of the back ups were in, he took the initiative to create and show us what we can do. I'm looking forward to see what he does as his leash gets longer as the year goes on.

Tribble is going to be a good one. So well composed for being a true freshman. If he doesn't overtake LCJ at some point this season, its happen next year.

Whew. This staff really better pull something out of their ass to make this class respectable and put an acceptable product on the field next season.

The deal doesn't expire until 2026-2027. My guess - we come out better with the deal as opposed to untelevised on the weekends. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/11372218/mid-american-conference-espn-agree-new-13-year-media-rights-deal

Do you have a source for this? Did some digging this morning and I can't find mention of this anywhere. Relevant article on Kansas and the limit: https://www.si.com/college-football/2019/05/06/jeff-long-big-12-ncaa-recruiting-rules-scholarship-limit And another re: the transfer portal: https://www.si.com/college-football/2019/02/18/transfer-portal-scholarship-limits-initial-counter-rule

I have see that right now.

Let's clear this up - Mr. Ward means Brandon Junk #45. To answer his question, yes, I believe he is hurt.

Ohio's bowl eligibility??

Can't speak for this year, but I am certain OHSAA playoff games have been played there in the past. Here is something quick from 2017. https://www.ohsaa.org/news-media/articles/ohsaa-releases-football-state-semifinal-pairings-2
