Agreed. Dealing with this season will be tough for everyone involved (players, coaches, fans) , but I think if he "keep the team" without much more attrition and bring in another decent class, the lumps we are taking this year should set us up well for the future. Easier said than done though, I think.

"10:30 a.m. ET: The biggest decision of the day for Circa sportsbook in Vegas, believe it or not, is on Troy vs. Akron thanks to a “mid five-figures” bet on Troy -17."

Go zips...

Looks like he is trying to get back to TX. I thought I saw Scarby at a CBA recruiting event the other night...guess I did.

Can't speak for the CMU game, but he wasn't dressed (along with White) during the UAB game.

This season is depressing. I need some good news, whether it be on the field or recruiting front soon.

Week 4 presser. He gets a little fired up at the 16:10 mark when GT questions the O-line.

Nice post Z.I.P. Your last sentence is a good point. I see it as work in practice against better competition and pay your way through school for the year or get in practice/games/school covered for a year. I don't take much issue with either choice. The impatience is college basketball is intriguing to me. Giving up on a player after their redshirt freshman year is baffling to me. Even giving up on players after their true freshman year (like Groce has done) is baffling to me. Not everyone is going to come in and light the world on fire..some take time to develop and they have up to 5 years of eligibility. I'm glad our program didn't give up on Big Dog that early...

Darn. Looks like I'm off base. Still should be a nice add next year.

Looks like we are adding a much needed big guy just in time for the season?! Looks like a stretch 4 with 3 years of immediate eligibility. http://verbalcommits.com/players/taylor-currie

Interesting. Literally one poster has said they are done with Nelson. No mention of the Oline woes and putrid running game.

Euro Gyro, The Score, and Manny's are bar/grills right across the street from the stadium. The tailgating scene isn't anything to write home about, but we have some die hards. Tailgating lots are literally right next to the stadium as well.

Scary part about the OL is that the issues might not even be fixed after this year. We lose our best OL. I wouldn't expect anything outside of marginal improvement outside of any of the other current starters. With the current roster - we have one R-Fr that might be a contributor in the future and the rest are true freshman. Expecting a few of them to come in and perform at least average next season is a gamble. Staff would probably be well served to bring in 1-2 grad transfer/JUCO OL for next season to bridge the gap/bring in competition for the current starters. In fact, looking at it in hindsight, they probably should have allocated 1-2 of those scholly's for the transfers on D they brought to the OL.

Didn't get a chance to watch this one live. After seeing the result, I don't think i'm going to start my ESPN+ membership for this season yet and watch the replay. Really thought we would have gave them a better game. UMASS, Kent, and BG are our only chances left at Ws.

As opposed to what, Balsy's in-depth arbitrary rankings because you follow so close? Which recruit are you most excited for so far in the 2020 class? Or are you just blindly arguing? You aren't making any points to support you argument other than "TERRY BOWDEN" bud.

If the players like it, who cares.

He's probably getting ready for Gameday to come to Ames this weekend!

Week 3 presser:

He seems to be right on the upper fringe of what I'd call realistic (considering his rating). Only has offers to Cinci and Toledo at this point. We are the closest D1 school to him. Go for it!

I feel like Sampson would be a pretty elite pass rusher ?‍♂️ Doesn't seem to be getting many snaps though.

At the end of the day, you all can keep your agendas or lose 'em. You can choose to support the guys and coaches out there busting their asses or you can choose to sit around and bitch behind the keyboard about a decision that has already been made. I know where I stand and I know what decision is going to make me less miserable of a person. I'm a Zips fan and I'm going to root for whoever is out there, hope for the best, and try to be rational in analysis.

No I didn't. Bowden is no longer the coach here, so he is irrelevant to me.

1) Arth had I believe the #1 and #2 recruiting classes in his conference in his two years at UT-C. 2) Per 247, last year Arth, in 2 months with early signing day working against him, literally put together the 2nd best recruiting class compared to everybody since 2012 (the year Bowden started). In Bowden's best class, which ranked #113 (compared to Arth's #114), his class averaged 2 points lower per recruit than Arth's did and many of those players didn't even end up making it to campus. Just facts man.

Davis was literally on the field all day.
