49 days until Zips basketball.

Fair enough. I just think that if a potential hiring program looked at the game film and saw some of the play calling and lack of fundamentals and discipline they be a little apprehensive.

I'm thinking old Joe's value in the college football universe has taken a nosedive after leading one of the most inept programs in the nation.

I find it amusing that on the morning after that loss the athletic department sends out an email announcing 50 days until the basketball season

Uncle.

In the words of the great philosopher Bernard P. Fife- NIP IT IN THE BUD. 😁

He obviously doesn't. To conclude this conversation on the level to which it has sunk- I am rubber, you are glue...

.....and now you've again proven my point. If your reading comprehension was a little better you'd understand that I agree with many of your points. Return to the childish name calling.

The Zips are in the FBS. "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser." -- Socrates. Translation - when you start the name calling, your credibility immediately goes in the toilet.

Consistent? Yes. Great? One MAC championship in 50 years. Solid yes. Great? Nope.

UAB has given up 80 points in two weeks. Their talent shouldn't be substantially better than the Zips', so the result in this one will be telling. If it's a repeat of Wyoming, all hope (whatever little is remaining) is lost.

Happy Birthday Coach Groce.

He's not exactly adding positives to the old resume with any successes from Akron.

I did some editing for you.

I had no expectations of this game. Only hope. Hope that they would show some improvement and not be embarrassed. Those hopes were dashed on the first drive. The Zips moved to midfield in large part on a 19 yard quick hitter (their longest play of the year to that point- UGH). On third down, players are running all over, everyone looks lost and yet another early timeout is called amidst the confusion and chaos. They then come out of the chaos with Johnson at QB, clearly screaming out to everyone between Akron and Lincoln that a QB run is forthcoming. Predictably, the QB run was unsuccessful and in comes the punt team. Hopes dashed early. At least I wasn't teased.
