johnnyzip84 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I know we've had a lot of discussion already about next year, but I don't want to write this last game off just yet. True it PROBABLY doesn't affect JD's job security (no matter what any of us may or may not desire, and I'll be the 1st to admit even THAT can change from day to day), but I'd sure like to finish 6-6 this season. I know we've had plenty of missed opportunities, but a win here would take SOME of the sting off (at least for me). It will be difficult, however, because Temple has just as many athletes or more than OU. And we've seen what Mr DiMichele can do against us before. Temple is listed as a 2.5 to 3 point favorite.USA Today Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm having a difficult time getting worked up for the Temple game, although it would be great to earn a victory and take a little sting off of last week's game. I'm a little worried though that the defense will fail to show up again and that will just accentuate my bitterness toward the coaching staff. Being used to sports suffering I'll listen to the game, post here and root for the Zips even if they lose, but it will surely make me feel better about JD & Co., moving into InfoSumma next year, if they can put a spanking on the Owls this weekend.GO ZIPS!SeeTeeZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Gameday. This is the last chance for the team to redeem themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The Leakin has a gameday story. I have read both the on-line version and the home delivery. You might ask, why read both? Good question. The only reason is that I spotted a rather humorous gaffe in the home delivered version (corrected in the on-line at some point). In the photo of a flush player catching a pass over Graham, the caption in the paper copy reads "Two lines of cutline go in this spot here". Wow.Linkps. I sure hope the Zips paid more attention to detail in practice this week than Rich Desrosiers or Ron Ledgard or their underlings did yesterday.pss. I REALLY hope we blitz DiMichele some today. Go for broke Fleming. Set the tone early so the defense can get off of its heels for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Is anyone else listening to this? Go figure. The D is playing pretty well (keep blitzing!), but Temple's athletic D is making it tough for our offense.Zips down 6-0 at the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipthezip Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Being outplayed. Not getting any breaks from the replay officials. But Temple's kicker is really doing his best to help us out. Hopefully today we become a second half team. This game is there for our taking. Let's win a record 5th game on the road. GO ZIPS!!!!

johnnyzip84 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Jacq is apparently battling the flu. Don't get me wrong; he has earned the starting job by far, but do you consider playing Rodgers at all in the 2nd half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyRulz Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 http://www.sportsradio1350.com/pages/listen_live.htmlFor whatever reason, they have been streaming the audio recently for football and basketball.

johnnyzip84 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 TWO stupid calls on the last Zip drive. Why in the world do you NOT give DK the ball on 3rd and goal from the 1?????? Also, JD played chicken on the 4th and 1 call to kick the FG. He was influenced too much by Gulden's unsuccessful decision to go for on 4th down earlier. There's a BIG difference between going for it on 4th and 2 at home with a 3 point lead as opposed to going for it on 4th and 1 on the road and down by 3. When you play "not to lose" you usually lose.

ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 This Zips FB team regressed like hell to end the season. So disappointing based on where we were a few weeks back. Pathetic ending when they could have made themselves bowl eligible against a team with 3 wins. Bad Jacq is very bad today.GO ZIPS SOCCER TOMORROW!SeeTeeZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uafan Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I just heard the last minute or two, and what I heard was quite disturbing.....Temple scores after a 17 yard punt??!! Who said earlier this year that Stec was a great punter? He's terrible! Williams tries to pick up a blocked FG, only to lose it right back to Temple??!! Hello. Leon Lett? One blocked and one missed FG??!! Special teams are not a strength of this team. Thank God it's over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbozeglav Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 i cannot help but shake my head at the meltdown of this team... we were doing well coming into these last games and were proving the critics wrong and what do we do? we drop the last 2 winnable games and now the critics have every reason to say we are a flop.I think JD and his coaches are on the hotseat now... he won't get fired, but I think its time the AD lit a fire under his a$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
