You said the defensive coordinator of the #1 defense in the MAC needs to go. Think about that for a second and maybe you'll understand why I'm forming the opinion I am of you.

fact: we played this program 37 points closer than we did last season (at home).

him and big zip are fake fans. They were saying the same things after the Marshall game, but disappeared after we smacked Pitt. They only come out to complain.

you're act after every loss is old. think rationally please.

I thought Woodson did not play very well, but he played well enough that the Zips should have won the game. The coaches left a potential 9 points on the board by not trusting our FG kicker who hasnt missed on the season. I have to guess we would have at least made one, probably two of them. I think TB/Milwee did not do a good enough job putting a redshirt freshman making his first ever start in a fair position to win a football game. Way too many throws for a dual threat QB. We are still building the program. Losses to teams we arent supposed to happen. You can look up my post and see that I've said I think we will lose one we aren't supposed to during this season. It happens. You dont go from a losing team to automatically beating every team that you should. The rest of the games are winnable. BGSU should be the only game left where the Zips might lose. Ball St, Buffalo, Can't St, and UMASS are all scrubs. 8-4 is still very much in reach. 7-5 at the very least. BGSU lost today. The MAC is still in reach, and will probably come down to the "blackout night" in November. Good effort, Woodson. You made some nice plays that Pohl can't make. With that said, I hope Pohl is ready to go next week.

You're an idiot.

Convenient time for you to show up.

That was a dirty hit Hollis took

sorry balzy, but i believe in accountability rather than official blaming. OU sucks. They beat Can't St with on a last second FG. They have a former walk on at QB. The Zips have had a lot of calls and luck so far go their way in the game. I'll blame the coaching. Woodson should have at least 4 interceptions (2-3 pick 6s) so far, but he doesnt. He has played well enough (though not good) to at least give the Zips the lead, but the coaches are taking chances like we have our starting QB in the game; not our Freshman back up. Take the damn points we can get. I personally am not banking on getting another TD all game. I'd like Woodson to stop staring down WRs and release the ball quicker. He is doing a good job avoiding sacks, but needs to do a lot better. One inconclusive call not going our way shouldn't be the reason we lose to this team.

Good going Isiah Williams. I wish they would have showed the replay

Ohio looks like a bad team. Most of what they have gotten so far has been luck or due to our D playing out of control. I think I'll be really disappointed if we lose this game. I can see these guys losing to the Miami and UMASS's

Well the #37 who Ohiofan is always hating on just picked us off. More dumb penalties costing our team.

Woo! Jerome Lane is going to be one hell of a player. Kid is always making plays!

Impressive first drive for Woodson. Big 3rd down run and a few nice throws. I'm not sure the Touchdown was a catch..but I'll take it!

Well that's unfortunate. Two of our better players on D let us down that drive. Hopefully that was an outlier of what today will be like. We aren't going to win a shootout.

That would be amazing. I do believe Woodson ran a great deal of triple option at Gateway. At least earlier in his HS career.

Done. Made sure a few others saw as well.

I take it Vick is playing? If we want to win, the defense has to carry us. I think we can count on that. Just hope that Woodson plays well enough to score a few touchdowns.

Too bad the rest of the MAC players in Antonio Brown, Ben, and Dri Archer didnt

If the Zips were in the same position as NIU (years of sustained success), I would be happy with 20-22k average and think that is realistic. Thats maybe a sell out or two against teams like Marshall and BG and a few dud crowds for games against EMU and UMass. I think that is realistic. If we are talking about the current Zips. I would expect it to be to be less, probably a good bit less. It takes time to changes people's minds about perennial losers. I would bet if the Zips go 44-10 the next 4 years, that 3rd and 4th year will be at that 20-22k average. I do think the Zips have potential, though most likely never realized, to have close to a sell out every game. I think the location of UA is a lot more favorable than Dekalb is for NIU. Dekalb is pretty much in the middle of nowhere with a population of 44k. 1.25 hours from Chicago. NIU competes in Chicago with Illinois, Northwestern, and ND. Akron competes with OSU and Can't State, but Northwestern is actually located in Chicago and probably not much more expensive since they are a joke of a program and OSU is 2 hours away plus a lot more expensive. Just because you are near a huge market doesn't mean you are going to have a ton of support. But I think support can be earned in a football loving area like NE Ohio. I wouldn't put Toledo's success up there with NIU's, but its still pretty solid. Not official, but with a quick look, they average around 20k attendance. I think the 20k number is very reasonable for us. I think Toledo (location wise) has the stacked decked against them more than we do. They aren't in a market near the size of Cleveland/Akron/Canton and are sort of in the middle of two schools with huge fan bases in Michigan and OSU.

It would be impossible for NIU to match the attendance from 04 and07 because the stadium only seats 23,595 now. The prior capacity was 28,000.

He didn't show me much last week, but I think Woodson steps up!

Perhaps the play of your QB is a strong indicator of the success of your team. Who knew?

Thats odd. I was at the Marshall game and the student section was indeed exactly where Keener was claiming (I was in it). The University need to get it figured out. I'm tired of it changing every single year for football and basketball.

Wasn't it supposed to be announced "tomorrow" yesterday?
