and 2-3 years after the new stadium opens the Zips will be drawing squat if they keep putting a bad team on the field!

to paraphrase an old TV show...your wife is wise beyond her height...IF the ZIPS were 8-3 consistently and beating the best teams in the MAC you could play on the runway at Fulton AP and draw at least 20K...when you can't beat Temple and are only .500 or worse in your conference you are INSIGNIFICANT...

Racer is right CJ11 is no longer a soph...he has not shown significant improvement AND he will NEVER be MOBILE...JD said it himself you need a mobile QB!...hell the ZIPS can't handle one...too bad but i think next year is also going to be a LONG one...

WE DO NOT NEED A HIGH SCHOOL COACH IN HERE!... REPEAT ...GET SOMEONE WITH COLLEGE COACHING EXPERIENCE!!!

AND he is too slow...

If JD is smart, he leaves after this year before he ends up in the graveyard.that means next year we and whomever is the coach start over with ANOTHER unproven QB...

Well i guess SOMEONE BETTER take a good hard look at MR. BROOKHART if thats the truth!

Brookhart said it on the pre-game last night...teams HAVE to have a MOBILE QB to give Defenses another weapon to plan for... why in the name of good coaching decisions does he insist on playing a statue at QB...the decision to put CJ7 in the game WHEN he did was pathetic...it penalized CJ7 and the team...it was an act of desparation made because the coaches poorly managed the first 3 quarters...

Good teams and good coaches find ways to win these kinds of games...the others are 4-7 and waiting until next year... again...most of us have already commented over the past 3 months about the bad coaching decisions...bad QB play....bad defensive play(at least up until last week)...the promise of Williams and Allen...etc,etc...we as fans of the program now have to hope that the President and AD do the right things for the good of the program after 11-23-07...be at the BOWL on 11-23-07...

said it before... wait until 11-23-07 to start evaluating from Brookhart on down...he gets no pass this year...if the team takes a s..t the next 2 weeks there is NO reason to keep him...there is a confluence of events here that will NEVER happen agian...new stadium...evaluation of the current coaches...etc....if Proenza and Rhoades blow it now!!!!...who knows?

BRYAN WILLIAMS has done a fantastic job..notice when Dennis Kennedy is in things don't move quite as far?!

the definition of leadership is 'the abilty to keep one's wits when all about you are losing theirs'...

No doors. Won't be at the final game so I can't take a pic for you. But if it's like last night, someone should have no problem getting a pick with no one in there. I went in a couple of times and was the only one in there. Hot as hell in there, too. Kind of like a sauna.With that small of a crowd, the bowl REALLY shows its age.Actual photo from last night. No joke here.Dr Z, are you sure thats the Rubber Bowl? Looks like Springfield HS to me! Looks like K.E.N.T. to me!!! whoever took that picture JUST missed me...

Brett Biggs...he is still at Akron..

OK lets ALL come back to earth here..thank god for Bryan Willaims, he makes Brookhart, the staff and the rest of the players look better...haven't seen that much speed since Dwight Smith was here...Williams has a chance to play on Sunday...as some of us said a couple weeks ago, lets wait until 11-23-07 and evaluate the ENTIRE season...not just a few games...lets see if the coaches and players have REALLY turned the corner or if OU was a one shot deal...the sad thing is that if the ZIPS had hung on to the Temple game, they would be going to Oxford with a shot at the division...lets see if Brookhart and his staff can get them ready when they are literally playing only for pride...

halellhua to that!...we will se what the coaches,players and fans are made of TONIGHT...see ya at the BOWL!

before brookhart or anybody else tries to use the schedule as another excuse for a potential Akron loss..OU played Saturday...had the same time to recover and practice...if anything Akron should have the adavantage...HOME game!

:wave:Watching Central and Western on the Deuce...now WMU has little to play for...but they are taking it to Central in the 1st half...the game is competetive...already been 1 player ejected...wonder if the ZIPS will show the same type of effort as WMU tomorrow against OU?...any bets which akron team we watch at the BOWL?

The fact is that Domonkos thought he had dropped the class, but technically, he never did. It was an honest mistake that was not caught by anyone.That's a problem with the athletic department's academic eligibility branch. Somebody should have been there to catch that. Domonkos should have been required to report it to an academic advisor, talk it over, and then been walked through the process of dropping the class. This is why we can't maintain our recruits' eligibility (if they qualify in the first place) -- there's nobody there to help them.oh really!?

The way we've played the last three games, we'd be lucky to have Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street doing the play-by-play.At least we'll always know that i think bert and ernie have a previous engagement...maybe j.d. can go up to he press box and tell all 5 people who are watching at home how the ZIPS would be 6-3 if it just weren't for those darn 6 or 8 plays EVERY game!

No offense but I don't think I'm the only one who's seen enough of CJ7 at QB... HE'S NOT A QUARTERBACK!!! Stick him at reciever or defensive back and leave him there. You can't play Div.1 QB with a weak arm and bad decision making. And Quit the Troy Smith comparisons Troy Smith was an Elite 11 QB coming out of h.s. and had offers to play QB alot of other places. Where as we were the only Div.1 college dumb enough to give CJ7 a shot at playing QB. Jacquemain is the starter for a reason... HE'S A QB (maybe not a good one, but still a QB)!!!My point is that if Jacquemain gets most of the season to prove he is 'not a very good starter' then the other guy who was neck and neck with him for the starting job deserves at least as much of a shot to show IF he is better...oh by the way...Jacquemain just got suspeneded..does his ass get nailed to the bench like Jackson's did?

now that it is obvious it is, wait until next year time,its time to prepare for next yearthis team has become less competetive as the season has progressed...off field events that should not be occurring continue..and the coaches have not put the talent on hand in the best position to win..first,if Mack Rhoades is in fact going to be here he needs to tell Brookhart that he and is staff are being evaluated the rest of the way...second...we know what Jacquemain can and CAN"T do...let Jacskon play the rest of the way so he can be FAIRLY evaluated for next year...let the underclassmen play on the defensive side...the guys playing now are embarassing themselves...and IF the decision is that some or all of this staff doesn't fit, use the promise of a new stadium to recruit a new coach...not just plaers

I think we're putting the cart before the horse here. We're not building a stadium for JD or because of JD. The stadium was needed / desired before JD arrived and will be here long after JD is gone. Mack reiterated on the broadcast last night that the design & engineering are on track to break ground in 2 months and have the construction done for Sep. 09. A few of the players being recruited this fall will be on the field for the opening. Most all of the players recruited next year by whomever will not. That doesn't give a new coach "a couple of seasons to right the ship before the stadium opens". IMO, nothing will be decided before we see how this recruiting class turns out now that we have a firm stadium plan with renderings to show off. If we keep JD, the program will get better because of the new facilities. If we replace JD we may get even better with a new coach but not in 1 year and therefore I don't see the athl. dept. eating his remaining contract. Unfortunately for JD, his future as a 1a HC anywhere else may be running into the ground. USE THE STADIUM TO RECRUIT A COACH! ...not just players!

good observation...i commented on that last week...i was at the Buffalo game...brookhart seems to have detached himself from the TEAM!!!

i agree that you do not fire any coach at this point in THIS season...and i don't think anyone would be calling for anyone to get fired if there weren't some things going on that SHOULD NOT be happening at this point in this season...1)the team has gotten LESS competetive week after week...nobody is improving...2) players keep getting suspended 8-9 weeks into the season????!!...and how in the hell is a player getting suspended for 'academics' now? the team pays people to keep an eye on those things and send up red flags BEFORE they happen...if Brookhart still has to suspend for 'behavior' problems the players are basically telling him to go screw himself...3)the same things keep happening on the field game in,game out...Brookhart and the staff have not been able to correct them..if the ZIPS were playing competetively and improving weekly...most of us would be a lot more tolerant...after the season is over the ADMIN. has to issue an ultimatum IF it decides to keep Brookhart...improve the play on the field...improve the behavior of the coaching staff...get control of the program...or look elsewhere for work...
