Liberty may have even more motivation to prove they can win without some key parts. Zips mmight move the ball a little more if the O line holds up and Joe can get a run game going. How healthy is Irons? If he is still limited that offense is going to struggle. I am afraid the D may give up big plays. I just want to see a more competitive game. Zips have to be tired of playing the teams they have on the road all month.

Little to be gained from 'sacrifice' games except the paycheck. Kids get hurt,fans get discouraged etc. Franly, I would have held Irons out of the UT game to let him heal. I am waiting to see how competitive the Liberty game is. After seeing some of the MAC wins from last weekend, I am wondering just how many wins the Zips might pick up in the MAC. If the Liberty game is competitive thats a better barometer than MSU or UT. If not... But, there are areas where these guys are playing better than last season. I think Irons has improved and I am not a big Irons fan. Generally, the offense seems to be moving the ball better. But,until they establish a consistent run game and the O line learns how to pass block its still gong to be tough to score enough. The defense seems to have a few serviceable parts but not enough to to help control a game. Again, justwant to see a more competitive team in November than we are seeing now.

OK folks, take a deep breath. Akron was not going to hang with MSU(the check is in the mail). They are not going to hang with Tennessee(the check is in the mail). The Liberty game might be closer,but not going to be a win. If the BGSU game goes south then there is more of a problem than we thought. Relax until 10-1-22.

Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda...?

Was at the game. What I saw was not that much different from last season. Starting with QB play, Irons end of game numbers are deceiving. He still misses too many open receivers. He still holds too long. He is not accurate with intermediate passes. He got locked in on one receiver too much. I was surprised Moorehead didn't option him more, let him use his legs. Wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the season things are not going well, Moorehead will play one of 'his' recruits if it doesn't mean burning a redshirt season. I was surprised Moorehead didn't run more. Seemed Wiley was starting to get into a groove and the O-line still can't pass block. A little puzzling with the lay calling. Saint-Louis seems like the real deal though. The defense is still the defense. Little pass rush,can't handle a running QB,poor tackling and DB's out of position. But, it made a big play to save the game! Too bad the next three weeks are going to be well....you know. As I said pre-season, I want to see a better team in November than in September. Its going to take the coaching satff a while to figure out who can play at this level and who can't. But, at least my wife enjoyed the game!

I was and have been unable to acces my online account. I paid for seasons couple of months ago. I was told that somehow there were/are two online accounts in my name which was causing the problem. I requested they send me 'hard' copies of the tix. I finally received those this past weekTicket office said they would see if they could correct the problem at their end. So far, no go. Not exactly a smooth rollout.

Agree. No 'blowouts' in the MAC. I ignore Tennessee and MSU. Win your opener at home. That helps get some positive attention. Putting out a number of wins isn't always helpful. BUT,it would be nice to win maybe 3 in the MAC with one being KSWho. I want to see a team thats playing noticeably better in November than in September. Still think there are too many questions at key positions, like QB among others to start counting wins.

I finally went to the ticket office and paid my renewal in person. I was told that I should be receiving an email with a PIN,with instructions to 'activate' my account. After numerous attempts I stopped. Contacted the ticket office, and was told that my season tickets are confirmed but that they won't be available until some time in August. I am to receive another email from Paciloan so I can access my tickets. I requested that I receive 'hard copies' of the tix if I can not access them on line. Not very confident at this point.🤕

I am starting this in the football section because those tickets are the ones I am dealing with. Has anybody had any experience with Paciloan? I just renewed my football season tix and was told that outfit will be handling all University ticketing going forward.

Don't like the fact that its indoors. Wasting a nice day that have been few and far between so far. Agree way too small. And, the 3PM start really screws up the day. I would think even with lacrosse at Infocision the times could have been adjusted to accommodate both sports.

According to GOZIPS, 3PM in the field house. Wonder why to both?

JD spent some time in Texas. All about the boots.

For decades,literally.

Loved that place!

Fleming. Someone said he is/was at Delaware not doing much. Still think his call for a run blitz when they had Memphis backed up on its own goal line killed the Zips comeback in the Motor City Bowl.

There is a significant number of us like you out here. Goes way back to Gordon Larson and Jim Dennison. We can remember and have seen consistently competitive football. I still like the Brookhart, Moorehead, Getsy etc. group. They couldn't play much D consistently but that offense was humming. Lets hope Moorehead can assemble an experienced staff that can organize and evaluate better than the last group. Hope Gibson changes his mind. He could get 'coached up' and have better support with the incoming regime.

J.D. has been out of football a long time hasn't he? But that would be interesting wouldn't it. Getsy would SEEM to be a good option. Like him over Frye because of the type of game he played here. But...Can't see why either he or Frye would leave the gigs they have. That seems a stretch. The D coordinator is going to be a very, very important hire considering how bad that group has been for the last few years.

Watched the interview with him from Oregon. Seems very confident. He wasn't just spewing out cliches like Arth and Stefansky. He has seen more than enough at all levels so probably not much will rattle him. Guess is he is going to be able evaluate what he is inheriting better than Arth and will be able to get things organized around what he has. Think Arth wasn't able to figure what he needed to do with the players he inherited and brought in. (I admit I thought Arth might be a decent hire. Wow!) Assuming this comes off I think the one thing Moorehead should be able to do is get the program to be more competitive than it has been the last 5 years or so. Probably not too many wins at first but at least competitive. Reup those season tix.

By the way, he is 5 years younger than I am. Looks like he has only been out of coaching since 2020? Lets see, any other retreads who have come in here who have been 'elderly'? And ya I get the whole Wyatt Earp, Tombstone thing. Duh. Maybe we can dig up Bobby or Woody or Bo or PB.

So anyone who actually knows the answer to my honest question, please tell me when Holliday ,'retired' and how old he might be at this point. Was not looking for a 'cute' answer', which this was not. Honestly don't know. Oh by the way .... ...!

That was actually quite a game. Bad call by the then DC during an Akron come back attempt may have cost them a chance.

Again, they pretty much have to wait until these other schools finish their regular seasons at least. If an assistant is taking a head coaching job the school would likely release him prior to any bowl game. I still keep liking the idea of bringing in someone who has had some fairly successful head coaching experience elsewhere. Not Petrino! Don't need his crap here. Got enough problems here. How old is Doc Holliday? How long has he been retired. That's an interesting name to me. Things may start to crystallize a little after this weekend.

They may be looking more at assistants at programs who are still playing. So may not get any news at least until the regular season is over. Still hope they look at a 'retread' who has had some success at a higher level. If not go after a successful D2 coach ala Brian Kelly who is willing to move.

Did.

Progress will be if they hire a coach who has some high level D1 experience, who may have been fired. Convince one of the successful ones to come here for a while. Some are out there. Otherwise go to DII or FCS try to find someone who is competent enough to get this shipwreck turned round in 2 seasons.
