ZippyRulz Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Anyone got a inside scoop on a video feed for the game? Radio at the least? ESPN3. 1350 AM. Quote
g-mann17 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Very interesting temperature/dew point debate going on, but you are both ignoring the importance of barometric pressure on the outcome of the contest. Well with a tropical depression sitting in the gulf, it is likely to be low. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Well with a tropical depression sitting in the gulf, it is likely to be low. I think that works against us. With low barometric pressure, the air pressure inside the ball will be higher relative to the outside pressure, making the ball a bit bigger and harder. That will make it a little tougher to catch and kick (with accuracy), things we had some trouble with in game 1. Quote

That will make it a little tougher to catch and kick (with accuracy), things we had some trouble with in game 1. Moot point, a larger ball is harder to hold on to, meaning a higher propensity to fumble, something FIU had troubles with in game 1. On a serisou note, it is supposed to be wet tomorrow, and both teams are spread/pass oriented. Rain makes the field slower, just wondering how that will play out for both of these teams. Quote
g-mann17 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 You guys don't know Dick. Wooly bears like our chances. Quote
K92 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Wooly bears like our chances. Do they even have woolly bears in South Florida? Quote

Sergeant Zip Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 George's articleUA looks for its first road win tonight since a 42-35 victory at Eastern Michigan on Oct. 18, 2008 Dreadful stat That wasn't the Andre Jones return, was it? I know that was a directional Michigan school. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 George's article Dreadful stat That wasn't the Andre Jones return, was it? I know that was a directional Michigan school. The Andre Jones return was in Kalamazoo against Western Michigan (2007?). I believe the EMU game from 2008 cited here is the one where the Eag-rons blocked a UA FG late in the game, but our holder (and punter, but can't think of his name right now) picked off the deflected ball and ran for a key 1st down.

LZIp Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Watching UCF go toe-to-toe with OSU, Im not feeling as bad about the loss to UCF last week. I think Akron makes it a respectable loss. Quote

Zipgrad01 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Yeah, OSU has been playing like they are dis-interested for a majority of this game. Still....impressed with how physical of a team UCF is for a CUSA team. Don't know why, but I am having a good feeling about the game tonight. I think we shore up a lot of issues that plagued us last week. Quote
LZIp Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 They were going toe-to-toe...now they are getting destroyed. 15 points and the ball isnt getting destroyed. The game isnt over. Quote
akzipper Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 15 points and the ball isnt getting destroyed. The game isnt over. It was over, but at least Penn State lost again. To Virginia of all teams...but yeah OhioU does deserve a BCS game now. Quote
LZIp Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 It was over, but at least Penn State lost again. To Virginia of all teams...but yeah OhioU does deserve a BCS game now. not sure your point. I dont care about Ohio or Penn State Quote
akzipper Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 not sure your point. I dont care about Ohio or Penn State Sorry. I only replied to your post because I didn't think UCF had a chance to come back. I brought up Penn State because of all the OhioU fans that have been saying BCS ever since the win. A PSU loss again shows how bad their team is this year, and that beating them really means nothing. Quote
akzipper Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Out defense is flat out terrible. 7-0 after two of the same exact plays. Quote
Lee Adams Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Yeah, OSU has been playing like they are dis-interested for a majority of this game.

I think we shore up a lot of issues that plagued us last week. UCF is a better team than most think. As good as a number of Big 10 teams. As far as the Zips,TB is still looking fo for players. He has thrown down the gauntlet at RB. Chisholm won't be playing much unless he learns how to run. Some of the WR's will be looking for more PT also if they don't step up in the next couple of weeks. The LB's and DL's are going to be a revolving door until they can stop the run. Quote

RootforRoo44 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 These announcers sound mentally handicapped...good Lord this is torturous. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 The AGE old Zip weakness.......a running QB. Quote
Lee Adams Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 It's one thing for the Zips to lose, but to not even be competitive? there's no excuses... TB has got some key positions he can't trust. RB,WR,LB yet. The D is going to be weak all season. But,if QB continues to improve and he can find a RB who will run N/S and can catch they can get into some shootouts in the MAC and sneak up on some folks. Sorry,tonight... Quote
