johnnyzip84 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I just saw ESPN's plays of the day, and Lemon's exciting (and more importantly, momentum stopping) return was 2nd on their list. Shawn really has some wheels for a DE, don't you all agree on that? I really think this was a key play in the game. It was akin to a setup pitcher in baseball coming in to stop the 6th inning rally. It was a blast to watch, too When he was bending his way around and out of the end zone, his speed was such that I thought he was BWill for a second or two! Quote
skip-zip Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 That was indeed a key play. It took some of the sting out of them marching down the field and scoring right away to start the 2nd half. It could have been a 7 point game, and instead it left us a cushion by being a 10 point game. So, when Toledo scored another touchdown, they were only able to pull within 3 instead of tying the game. Then, thankfully, we regathered ourselves and turned it into a blowout again. Quote

skip-zip Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Ha Ha....I got ya. Jumping over the wall after Alcorn's field goal in 1992 wasn't so bad. I was only in my 30s at the time. No way would I do it now. Quote
bUAkronG Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Just caught the top ten on ESPN. Boy, seeing that play again makes me glad I was there to see it.I'm with you, johnny. When he was running all I could see was the 4 and I was thinking it was either Doug or Bryan Williams! He has some quick feet for a D-Lineman. Quote
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 As he turned the corner coming out of the end zone, I thought for sure it was Williams. Then at about the 50 as he was rumbling, bumbling and frankly, slowing down, I thought "what, a d-back who isn't streaking all the way?" Only then did I realize it was the big man! That was one freaking kick ass play.The Zips did it up last night! It was really a fun, almost surreal night to be there. (1) Wednesday night. (2) Incredibly good weather in November. (3) The band playing Queen and other '70s tunes in the half time show. (4) The Goodyear blimp overhead the entire game. I'm not sure why really, but for me it was just a weird evening. It was, however, a blast.GO ZIPS BABY!SeeTeeZip Quote

If you have the chance please let Lemon know that Zips fans love the hell out of the way he's played this year. He's become a real presence out there this year. Can't wait to cheer for him and rest of the crew at InfoSumma next year.GO ZIPS!SeeTeeZipper Quote
