3rd down and 2 at the 50 with about a min left in the half. Akron is moving the ball well and then a great play call. Shotgun formation run up the middle for almost no gain. I guess coach I just gave up on the FG this time.

It really is painful to watch. I'm flipping windows back and fort between Akron/Ball State and Can't/Temple.

I was trying earlier today to remember what it was like to watch a college game that mattered for my team. Apparently the last 5 years have caused those memories to be fuzzy. I guess "not losing" is as close as we can get to "mattering" at this point. Sad...really sad.

How's the attendance looking at Dick's Stadium?

Start of the 3rd... we get a kickoff return to the 50. We move the ball down to the BSU 10. 1st and goal to go, Nicely throws an INT at the goal line. Awesome. I think Ill just go back to the ESPN score notifications on my phone than watch the game.

I'm done with Pat. Man, this guy is blowing it. WTF! We CAN win this game and we are (He IS) throwing it AWAY!

I just don't get it. I really don't.

Why does Ianello stick with Nicely? Is he REALLY the best option? Are we "playing for the future" with our Soph QB? He certainly doesn't appear to have "it."

It's beyond frustrating to watch. And it's not only the deplorably ill-timed turnovers, it's also the throw aways with open receivers, the balls that are 5 yards over the receivers heads, and the ones that dribble into the ground 10 yards in front of open RBs in the flat. Sickening.

I've said from the beginning of the year Nicely wasn't what everyone had him cracked up to be.....when are those who were picking him as the man going to show up on the board and admit they were wrong! He is even worse than I thought he would be. TERRIBLE!

I'll eat some crow. I thought Nicely looked like a decent quarterback last year, and expected some advancement this year. He's not in an ideal situation, granted, but it doesn't explain being downright terrible. Less than 50% passing and 11 picks to 3 tds? Sheesh.

So you may have been right but the Zips still suck. Who cares what anybody thinks about players at the beginning of the season. Proof is in the pudding buddy. Nobody should have to show up and defend anything. I hope Nicely turns it around in the off season or Coach I gets a telented QB for the future. Either way it does no good to argue about wh was right months ago.
