What if for some odd reason the Zips don't get invited to a bowl game @Balsy ? What if the Zips go 6-6 and then win their bowl game @kreed5120 ?

this guy says he is not playing, Trollboi12. https://twitter.com/TrollBoi12/status/930509250895515648

I'm just so worried about going 5-7 for the umpteenth time under TB. I counted my chickens last year before they hatched and we lost 4 straight and went from 5-3 to 5-7. Only bright side is if it happens is that I won't have any issue with him being fired. 6-6 is sort of a toss up to me. Would prob be fine with whatever direction Larry W. wants to go. 7-5, and MAC champ birth and he keeps his job/few year extension, no more than 3.

KD really must have some dirt on skip for as much as he has been going out of his way to defend the "Akron" guy who Akron wasn't good enough for.

You'd think, but 0-2 Iowa State has a 15 point loss to Mizzou and an 18 point loss to Milwaukee.

What will Jackson, Riak, and Lester be listed as??? I would guess at least another 1 of them will be RSophs as I remember all of them being younger.

It's college football. You play the game for a reason. I can think of many examples this year where the box score just doesn't make sense. Go Zips!

Biggin' tonight. I've only been able to scrap together 1 other to go...and thats the girlfriend so she doesn't count. Going to try a few more old college buddies still living in Akron. I really don't think OU is that "great" of a team, but damn I can't get that Toledo result out of my head. Gonna have to bring it tonight fellas!

I don't hate KD, but I'm not rooting for him to succeed, that's for sure.

I can only find stats ranking the top 250 in APG, but I'd be willing to bet that is #1 or close to it in the nation among centers. No centers were listed in the top 250 which bottomed out at 3.5apg.

Fair point.

This is a great point. Jimond did benefit a lot from moving without the ball while it was in the post last season.

I agree that there is *probably* some liability issue somewhere in here that needs to be considered, but the U still sells alcohol regardless.....Does lowering the price point open themselves up to some other liability that isn't already accounted for? Heck in my mind its them operating more along the lines of a non-profit university as they wouldn't be selling products for a large mark-up. Public institution or not, the "professional" sports teams apparently have the liability angle figured out. I would be hard pressed to believe that any of these deaths on campus came directly as a result of students ONLY drinking beer. There is no reason the staff cannot cutoff students who are visibly intoxicated, just like any other establishment does. I think it does go towards solving the long term issues. When I think of Rubber Ducks games I think of cheap fun. When students think of football games, it would go a long way towards thinking of it as cheap fun.

I don't think its that rare of a promotion. The Rubberducks do $1 beer night weekly. It was a big draw when I was a student.

^^In all of the talk last night by the @Zips_Nation twitter account (is there any affiliation?), I saw a GREAT recommendation to get students to games that has somehow never been brought up before. $1 dollar beer!

Could be many reasons, some of which have already been pointed out. I mean Coach Groce did have him inserted into the game early and has had a chance to see him all through camp and in multiple scrimmages vs other D-1 opponents. Obviously he has shown something. Calling a true freshman a "project at best" after 2 minutes of playing time in their first game ever is a huge reach. Even if he doesn't show much his freshman year, that doesn't make him a "project at best".

My god. The kid has played 2 minutes ever!

Yep. Some members of ZN.O brought up Anthony Stewart (their HC) during our coaching search, and wanted him pretty bad IIRC.

One last thing regarding this game for me (and if I am wrong tell me): I actually noticed our assistant coaches coaching for once. I did not notice that with the prior staff.

Cotton's play didn't bother me too much. Running point in your first game as a true fresh probably isn't easy for anyone. Kostelac and his lack of minutes stuck to me as well, and I agree re: Ivey. Wasn't his best game, but did seem to settle after he was yanked early in the 2nd half. I really, REALLY liked our FT shooting as team. That's a more than refreshing change if we can keep that up.

That was fun. A tale of 2 halves for sure. I'm excited about all these young, new guys along with the further development of Ivey and Utomi (who looked like a straight boss tonight). All these freshman look like they belong. Go Zips!

I'll just chalk it up to your eyes being bad
