InTheZone Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 Word coming out of the athletic office.... In line with the NCAA's new 12 game season policy, the Zips have been in talks and recently finalized plans to add another road game against a MAJOR SEC school in 2007 (same season we play Ohio State). More details later. Quote
Dr Z Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 Thanks for the info Zone. Sept 8, 2007 headline in the Sentinal Akron's Carlton Jackson makes Gators pay for not giving him look at QB. Quote
Zipsrifle Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 I think we're going to be pretty dangerous in '08. Lock them in now. Quote

Haha, that would be nice, but the rumors have us in Knoxville at Neyland Stadium playing Tennessee. It's not a done deal yet though. Quote

Haha, that would be nice, but the rumors have us in Knoxville at Neyland Stadium playing Tennessee. It's not a done deal yet though. I went to Knowville when we played Tennessee in 1989. Great road trip! Great environment and great football fans. Note: We were up 6-0 and 9-6 in that game...and we ended up losing something like 52-9. Chuck Webb ran wild and Carl Pickins had TD's on both offense and defense. Quote
zipboy Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 I am not a big fan of this game. I would much rather have a bunch of 2 for 1s like KY and Syracuse or 3 for 1s rather than a bunch of 0 for 1s. Quote
InTheZone Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Posted May 22, 2005 Scheduling a 12th game is good for the University financially, and with the scamble to pick up games after the rule change I think we're lucky to get a big payday like this game. Quote

I think it is wrong to look at this game as a "payday game." Does Miami look at games like this as a "payday game"? Northern Illinois? Marshall? Bowling Green? Toledo? The day Zips fans cease to look at games against BCS schools as strictly "payday games" and come in expecting to compete and win, that's when we officially have "made it." I sincerely hope that, if JD is the coach we all think he is, that we go into Knoxville with a legit expectation to compete. Miami, Toledo, Marshall, NIU and BG fans would. Hell, throw in Boise State, Fresno State or UNLV for that matter. Yeah, Tennessee is going to toss the program $500,000 to show up, but the game is much more than that if we want to legitimize our program. Our days of showing up for just a payday better be over by 2007, or I'll be very disappointed. Quote
Zippy989 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 Has anybody confirmed this yet??? Or is still rumor stages? Any chance of a 3 for 1??? Any other big names on the radar for future games??? Quote
