Zipmeister Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 In the 4th quarter it looks like we may pull this one out. Up by 15, I'm not sure what will transpire in the time remaining so that I hit yet another prediction right on the nut. Following today’s game on ESPN gamecast, another idea to increase student attendance at home games occurred to me. If you are a full time student with football eligibility and you show up to the game your name gets put in a hat and we draw names for the opportunity to kick extra points. I think a lot of students would be interested in doing this and we really wouldn’t score that many less points than we do on extra point attempts now. Probably should draw by quarters at the beginning of each quarter because if all the names get drawn at the beginning of the game, most of those who were not selected are likely to leave right away.

Wally B Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 i'll count with you!! congrats to those that are still with us (players) Quote
zippyfan34 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 What is the referee thinking reversing that call? Quote
cornbread Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Alex Allen just stupided the onside kick... so hard to resist choking Quote
RowdyZip Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 What an AWFUL call at a critical time. We can still blow it. Only in the MAC could a quarterback have the ball in his non throwing arm, get the ball slapped out, and then determine they have conclusive evidence that it was a forward pass. Ridiculous. Quote

Let's see if they rule this fumble and incomplete pass as well. Quote

cornbread Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 THAT WAS SWEET BUT HERE COMES THE REVIEW. WAY TO GO WAGNER Quote
cornbread Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Now it is win... hopefully. t-58 secs to fumble a handoff away Quote
Zipmeister Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Posted November 26, 2010 I can't believe we didn't score a touchdown and miss the extra point in the last minute. That is the first prediction I have missed in two years! Quote
Blue & Gold Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 We're not losers anymore! Well... at least we're not total losers anymore! 1-11 Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Just got back from the game. We won, but not before trying extra hard to give it away. This helps recruiting and gives the underclassmen motivation to keep working in the offseason. Quote
Dave in Green Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 Once again, the detestable prevent defense almost prevented a win. That and the unfathomable officiating call on the Buffalo QB fumble that had absolutely no similarity to a forward pass almost ruined the day again. But the Zips finally overcame adversity and came out on top. This one was definitely worth sitting out in a cold, empty stadium to watch. You could tell the Zips players really, really wanted this one badly, and they earned it. Good for them! Quote

Only in the MAC could a quarterback have the ball in his non throwing arm, get the ball slapped out, and then determine they have conclusive evidence that it was a forward pass. Ridiculous. More proof that the referees hate Akron. Such a blatant, "bad" call. i.e. they knew the QB is right handed. They had been watching him for more than three quarters of a game. Sure had me screaming at the TV set. It ignored me. Was the QB out of the box? Who was the intended target? First thing I thought as the play unfolded was intentional grounding. Why was the ball in his left hand? Bad, really, really bad officiating. Quote

It is evident that the seniors were not going out with a loss and thank the football Gods for not denying the Zips! Thank You 2010 seniors for the win! Go Zips! Quote
MDZip Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 What no one has seemed to notice is that this has elevated the Zips to a tie for fifth in the MAC East. So much for those prognosticators who picked us to finish last in the East. So there! Quote
Valpo Zip Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 It just hit me that with the team that we had this year, we were only a good kicker away from being 3-9. No matter how bad you suck in the Mac, some one will suck more. Quote

First thing I thought as the play unfolded was intentional grounding. Why was the ball in his left hand? Bad, really, really bad officiating.If it makes you feel any better, I know three board members who were screaming at the top of their lungs..."Intentional Grounding". They heard us, and ignored us too. Quote
