15.5 favorite seems a bit excessive to me. I would guess it would be 2 touchdowns at most if they beat us.

oh jesus H. The FCS team was on their 3RD STRING QB and Kent still lost?! LOL

Honestly 2-2 in that stretch would be damn impressive to me. You can't find a tougher 4 week schedule than that in the nation. I don't recall us thinking Oklahoma was a playoff contender last season when they beat us, but you know how that went. Hard to tell really how good teams are so early.

Whew that was a rough one. Not going to go back and read the game discussion because all the Zips fans arguing with each other will just pee (edit: really, pee?) me off. Pretty disheartening to see, especially the ones shitting over this program for losing to one of the top teams in the country (It could have been 77-10, most of you would happily trade for BG's success, are they a joke too?). I was a little intoxicated so I may be off base, but both of Lane's OPI calls seemed quite weak to me. Almost never see those calls. I'm not ref blaming, I was just surprised by them. Bottom line is that the interior D has a lot of work to do and to beat good teams you have to make big plays. Not drop multiple interceptions, drop balls that should be caught, not fumble after a huge run, not commit a penalty that they end up scoring a touchdown on when it would have only been 3, etc. I do like the way our schedule was set up this year. Cream puff to start off the year and then your pay day opponent who it'd take a near miracle to beat, followed by two tough G5 opponents who are beatable. The coaches should have a lot to work with after the first two games to help prepare us to beat similar caliber programs the remainder of the year in OOC and conference play.

That CMU ending was crazy! I agree with Zach, that rule needs fixed. I think the MAC went 2-0 vs the Big 12 yesterday. I saw that Northwestern lost to Illinois State, so that makes that WMU win look not as good. Edit; Its 9:11am on 9/11 and Kent State still sucks!

all white with the new white/different shade of gold helmet. whew!

The Zips 2nd game depth chart can be found here FYI. Still see no Jordan George (is this he hurt or just not in the 2 deep?). Allen is indeed listed above MTB and Newman. I also do not see Jelani Hamilton listed. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2016-17/2016_Game_Notes/Game2_UW_091016.pdf

I concur. That was my capstone class where we developed business plans.....LOL

Thanks for stopping by this week. We got a lot more discussion than usual. I'd guess you were Bernie Kosar, but I'm pretty sure his daughter is a porn star and not a soccer player.

Let's goooo!!!!!!!!! Thats right, AUDACITY! Leave it all on the field today, Zips!

I didn't watch the game, so maybe I am off base, but I was surprised at how many people picked OU to finish ahead of Akron even after Sprague had left the team. TX state is pretty bad.

Does anyone know if he actually ended up teaching this semester?

Does anyone know how much Wisconsin is paying us?

Skip does have a point about complaining about political talk and then going on a mini rant, yourself. I personally don't care for the talk either and I sure don't like seeing people leave. There is a simple solution that not enough on here take advantage of: the ignore feature. I'm sure the mods could get you set up.

And Connor was probably better than Clement if we're being honest.

Was that Beaven's first article actually covering the team? I know he did the local connection article before, but wonder if this means it will be a regularity.

Bowden wants to win. I don't think he cares how. We were pretty balanced last year IIRC.

I don't see any way that Appy State game isn't 9/9. Which unfortunately probably works out bad for me and hopes of attending.

Wisconsin ranked #10 in AP poll

I love the money games. It gives our program a chance to play on a national stage, which i guarantee our players love, and the chance to grow interest as well as help pay the bills.

Meh I definitely saw Newman Williams out there, unless somebody else was wearing #35 at TE on offense. I wonder if we'll get Jordan George back this week?

Are you sure about this? I distinctly remember seeing MTB out there as well as Newman Williams in some 2 TE sets. I was disappointed in the lack of usage of MTB in the passing game, but maybe the hand just wasnt being shown.

Agreed. LSU can have all of the recruiting stars they want, but that offense outside of Fournette SUCKS. There's a reason why Les is on the hot seat every year.

Hey...we are the last MAC school to defeat the mighty OSU. Better watch yourself! I did notice you conveniently didn't acknowledge Chrsyt's record vs Akron. Might even want to review his record vs our FCS little brother over in Youngstown

We'll let it slide....this time . Thanks for putting these together.
