Someone tell the Zips

[InTheZone]

tone of the reasons for the turnaround last year was who we were playing. granted we were learning a new system with a new coaching staff. we also were playing ou, Can't, and ucf. three bad teams. when we played miami they ripped our defense apart.

we have ball state ,Can't,and ou at the end of the year.no reason we can not to the same thing again based on the competition. if we can beat buffalo, and army we have a shot at winning six to seven games;which is not bad nased on a rebuilding year.

Let's please not start calling this a rebuilding year again based off one game. I guarantee you they aren't calling it that down in Oxford based off one game. We are still very much in the hunt for the MAC East. BG is NOT THAT GOOD.

Some of you talk about the Zips making you sick, well let me be honest, most of you make me sick.  Last week you're asking how we can keep the next Urban Meyer, JD Brookhart in town, and this week you're talking about what a douche bag he is.  Last week, you're saying Luke Getsy is the second coming of Joe Namath, and now he sucks.

Folks, in real life, sometimes things don't go as planned.  These things happen in college football.  It was ONE game. ONE.  This is still the same team that played with Purdue, same team that dominated MTSU (who beat Vandy Saturday) and the same team that beat NIU.  College kids are moody, they aren't professionals, and inevitably some weeks they are going to show up with the wrong attitude.  This is in no way an indictment of the coach unless it happens on a consistent basis, which it certainly has not.  And let me tell you guys something about Luke Getsy Saturday night.  From the 2nd quarter on he was playing with a severely sprained thumb on his throwing hand.  Now if I were the coach in that situation, I would go to our capable backup John Ferguson, but I respect the decision that was made to leave Getsy in.  Just thought some of you that are gutting Getsy on here should know that.  How after three straight games of +300 yards some of you could say the things you have about him is beyond me.  Honestly, I believe the Zips would rather play in empty stadiums than for 10K fairweather fans and students that leave a close game at the end of the third quarter because the social event is pretty much over and it's time to party.  THAT's what made me sick, not the play of the Zips.

Excellent post ITZ, again. If you ever find out who I am, I'd be glad to buy you a beer at the end zone beer garden (is it really a garden if there are no plants growing in the area?). I thought I was the only one to have Getsy's back. Let's hope those injuries aren't too bad.

I definately might take you up on that!!
