Blue & Gold Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Here is the link to the GoZips.com video of the iCoach weekly press conference. Right off the bat Tom Gaffney (I think) asks a couple tough questions. 1) "D-1 athletics are about winning. Are you concerned with your job security?" 2) "How are you & the players handling all the losing?" I must admit, iCoach still seems quite upbeat and has his head held high.

Zipmeister Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Very little face touching, but I wonder if he could talk if you tied his hands to his sides. Only mentioned the process once that I recall. Seems we may have replaced the process with a plan. Could not tell if he had anything stuffed down his pants. We might want to get a big table for him to sit behind at the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty hard to argue with any of the justified criticism. I especially liked Rob_from_Akron's cryptic, yet fitting final words: This program is lost in space right now.

tbozeglav Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I feel like this youtube video, along with Rizzo's rant from the other week, are VERY applicable to the zips right now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 A friend of mine posted this on saturday...it was his birthday too...wonder if this is how he felt ---> Anyways, this was his facebook status after the 3rd quarter...I left his name out and put "_____ ______" instead...It's to the Browns reaction video... "Hey Zips. _____ _____, former football fan. Killer game in Infocision today. Do you understand that it is statistically harder for a team to be this consistently bad than it is for them to occasionally accidentally be good. The probability is staggering. Did you happen to see that Toledo-Western Michigan game Tuesday? Its like they are playing a different sport than you! And here's what you have to understand we don't expect you to be good, we just want you to be watchable! Do you have any idea how low our expectations are? We don't expect you to win the MAC, we just want you to look better than a Division VI High School Football team. And Listen I know there are way more important things in life than football, but you are supposed to be our pleasant distraction from those things. But all you do is waste or Saturday and put us in a bad mood every week. You are a FACTORY OF SADNESS! I won't see you Saturday!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Man we need to win a few games Few? I'd be happy with one. After last week, I'd settle for a touchdown. Or the week prior. The soccer team continues to match the football team in scoring. Yippee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
