GP1 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Well, the day we were hoping wouldn't happen is here. It was the prudent decision to wait to make win predictions until after the Temple game. That day is here. Please make an honest prediction without ugly commentary.I think our base athletic and football ability is lacking in almost every area that matters. The players we need to perform well, aren't. I'm debating between 2 and 3 wins for the season. I'll go with 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 It's the MAC, so I'll go with three: VMI, EMU, and Buffalo. Though it would be an improvement in wins, I don't think this represents major progress for the program...only how bad some of our opponents are.

Dave in Green Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Based on what I witnessed last night, the Zips as a team appear to be roughly where they were in the last three games of last season. That is, right now they may be capable of playing close with other lower-tier MAC teams, which means statistically that they would probably win some and lose some of those games.If they don't improve significantly over last night's performance, three wins would be about the most we could hope for. I do expect to see some improvement, especially from some of the younger, newer players. But it would take significant improvement across the board for me to even entertain the thought of four wins.Right now I don't see much hope for a dramatic tournaround this season. There's only the remotest chance that the coaches and players will hit on something that gives them a meaningful breakthrough.I'd feel pretty good if the Zips finished the season out of the Bottom 10, even if only 11th.

Zips fan Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I hate to be pesimistic but I really dont think we have a win this season. Toledo was just as strong as OSU and Temple could have easily made the score look worse. We are not competitive with the MAC this year. I am hoping we can pull one out against VMI, but that is the only one I see. I don't see us staying within 20 points of most of the MAC right now. There are several teams that are easily 40 points ahead of us(Temple, Toledo, NIU, Miami). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 1... and that's being generous. I hope that win is over Can't but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it would be an improvement in wins, I don't think this represents major progress for the program...only how bad some of our opponents are.That's my guess. Because it's the MAC, there will be some close games that are winnable. But, even if we win more than one, I can't say if I would automatically think that we are an improved team over last year.

Big Zip Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I think it will be 3 and I can't give you a good reason why other than life punishing by giving Wistricill a reason to keep iCoach around another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on pins and needles waiting to learn the grate one's belated prediction.Haven't heard from dreal yet!! Bet he's predicting only 9 wins at this point.

K92 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Unfortunately, Buffalo and Eastern are on the road and the away losing streak will probably continue. I think the Zips go 2-10. Wins against VMI and Can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
