Just a reminder that the Zips have a game this week! Yikes, two days before homecoming and absolutely no chatter or interest.

I get that. I was referencing Joe's consistently good attitude and ability to forge forward regardless of the situation. Joe's the best.

To summarize the positives from the presser: 1. They had only 3 penalties 2. The placekicking was good 3. They got peeled so badly that some young guys got game experience If Joe Dunn ever gives up this sports gig he has a real future as a funeral director.

Does Shammah move into the starting lineup? I love him as the 6th man as he's able to play point or the 2 with no drop-off.

Unless Bowman expanded his offense to include an ability beyond being a long range shooter and improved his defense, I could see him having less of a role on this year's team given its current composition.

35 days until Zips basketball!

And back to my original point, I don't understand the logic of maintaining a persistently bad football program for the sake of the basketball program. Okay, back to football. ZipsNation is re-entering the Groundhog Day zone.

My issue is not entirely about the one bid conference issue. It's more about the demands of a conference that does not serve us well.

I'm not suggesting that there's a perfect conference for UA sports. I'm proposing that a conference that makes demands that are inconsistent with UA's needs may not be a good home, or needs to change to become a better home for its schools. That's even more true with the current direction of college athletics.

Yes. Thanks for asking. At least the MAC as currently constructed, especially if it demands what it currently does.

This conversation invariably brings the discussion about how UA can't be in the MAC without an FBS football team and the impact that could have on the basketball program. I say it's about time we started considering other alternatives to a one bid conference where half of the schools make no effort to put out a reasonable basketball program. I've seen enough Michigan directionals for the rest of my life.

145 yards total offense.

Playing to Johnson's strengths! LOL

So, Zips +21 was a bad bet? Curious to hear what's up with Finley.

Agreed. I hate to see an area kid like Chip end up at another MAC school.

So, the 6th year 4th college redshirt senior QB is substandard. Hmmm.

Don't throw your shoulder out patting yourself on the back there GP1. LOL.

Translation - b!+ch!ng is easier than analyzing.

Nor has or does the NFL need the broadcasts. Their system finds the top players whether they are in Tuscaloosa or Hiram. There are many good points in that post.

From looking at the calendar, I assume it is the annual Tip-off Reception.

Line of the article- " If the Glenn Miller Orchestra famously has a gal in Kalamazoo, the Rockets have demons here." Chip Trayanum is playing for Toledo?

I heard that there's a Meet the Team gathering for both the men's and women's teams scheduled for October 28th? Anyone else heard anything? I guess this could be the annual tip-off reception.

There are some great Instagram of the kids wrapping up Fall training and they look like they've really been hitting the weights in the off-season!

Toledo, 2-2, are struggling and....Zips are getting 21.5 points?

That seems to cut down the conversation! I'm content to see them do what they should do.
