sorry folks...this is fun...i'm tired of watching Faust and Owens go 5-6,4-6 etc. etc. I'm tired of paying for seasons year after year and nothing else...ther's some promise here...akronoldtimer

the only argument IS the "OVERALL RECORD" now is it not?and yes it does matter how many games you(or i) have seen... actually now thats the bottom line...this is not DIII,DII...this is about playoffs,bowl games and money...the better they play...the happier the fans...more butts in the seats...more playoffs...more bowls...more good recruits on and on and on...akronoldtimer

yep.. i know all of you remember the Acme-Zip games...you were there...right?actually there were a lot of freebies.. but if i recal it was like 2 for 1 if you bought the ducats at the Acme store those were actually fun...guys parachuting to the 50 yrd line...the Zips winninghere's to more of thatakronoldtimer

nice to see some reality here...'ballingirl' has it.. CJ threw a beaut...get him on the field...get the D off they can't tackle or stop the run...at 10 games in the coaches/players shouldn't need to burn TO's to get organized.. there's some coaching/discipline issues on this team...play the OU game like its your Bowl game...cause it issee you in Athensakronoldtimer

hey folks...only 7-5 gets you to Toronto or anywhere else for that matterbut OU has some bigger "Roos" to fry.unless the Zips want OU to get the division on their watch JD and the D better figure out how to stop the ground game...OU IS the Zip's bowl game..see you in Athens...akronoldtimer

littlejoey:you don't know me. i don't know you(thankfully) lets not personalize this 'cause' obviously you need to study more. probaly been goin' to the Bowl longer than you been alive..seen enough of good and bad teams to know that 5-5 is 5-5, no better no worse...gee whiz they were only 6-5 in the regular season last year and ended up 7-6.i want to go to Toronto more than you do cause i went to Detroit twice... but lets face it...unless the D can stop OU on the ground it will get ugly...see you in Athens and the day after Thanksgiving!by the way i might be as old as your grand mother!akronoldtimer

ok the scrimmage is over. how did Can't lose to those guys? zips tried but couldn't keep 'da bulls' in the game. still too much confusion on the sideline and on the field for the 10th game of the year.still too many yards on the ground by the D.still too many bad decisions by the coaches,the QB and #72 on the O line.Jackson's bomb was beautiful...if Harvey gets some hands he'll greatOhio U?? they see the ground game will kill the zips on D...they see the speed rush will get to Getsy..they see the punt and field goal teams are subjects for a comedy routine..Zips better play it like their BOWL game or OU wins the division on Akron's watch.akronoldtimer

In one sense its good Brookhart is apparently going to be here at least through next year. My concern is that the team obviously lost some cohesiveness,especially on the offensive side with the departure of Pry, Biggs and Hixon. Brookhart needs to take a hard look at the lack of production from the "O". Needs to find someone who can tutor a new QB and call plays. I get the sense Brookhart was calling more plays this year. Not the head coaches job because he can't spend enough time.He also needs to take a real hard look at the "D". If the assistants can't/won't adjust,bring in someone who can install a 4-3. Got to stop the run.Maybe the hope of new digs to play in will keep ol' JD here a few more years. Seems to be a good recruiter. Not sure about the X's and O's though.At least if we can't go neither does Can't!Go Zips.akronoldtimer

Lets not get excited about this year. Solich is recruiting Texas and has some big boys who would have gone to Nebraska. If they stay sober they are in. Zips have no chance in that one. At least the Golden Flushes won't go.Need to see Carlton Jackson Now. need a 4-3 D next year. This crap that they run now is weak unless you have a bunch of mobile, agile, hostile line backers and safeties. Zips do not.Divine intervention saved the BG game. Getsy can't do it and when teams gear to stop the run he and the receivers have to carry the team. They can't.The COACHES need some discipline and to exhibit an ability to adjust. The Defense has not all year.6-6 would be good this year.akronoldtimer
