Woodson is the 6th rated QB in the nation. The MAC has three QB's in the top 6!?!?

 

It's getting near the time when the question "Who's better...Frye or Woodson?" starts being bandied about?

 

It's a good debate.

The only big surprise on those stats, for me, was that his "long" was only 46 yards. We've had some big plays.

My first thought is only that we don't need Tommy thinking that he's legitimate NFL material right now.  Whether he really is or not.  After what's transpired over the last month or so, I'd much rather see him be far more focused on what it takes to deliver what the Zips need to be successful right now.

I completely disagree. Frye always thought of himself as worthy of playing in the NFL. He was a driven kid who continually worked towards that goal, and was a better Zips player because of it. I want every Zips QB with that mindset.

Tommy's mindset is not the same as Charlie's.  That's the problem.

Based off of what?  

[kreed5120]

With Woodson at QB, besides against opponents like Wisconsin, I feel every possession the offense will drive the field and put up points. Frye was just before my time so it is hard for me to compare the 2.

Good, I can finally replace my bumper sticker on my Datsun. 

 

 

 

I might be able to alter my old yard sign and change the year.

Maybe Tommy's mindset is like Luke Getsy's and he is set on winning a MAC championship. That's not a problem.

Or, maybe some people don't know some of the things that have transpired over the last month or so concerning that situation, but somehow still feel compelled to challenge everything that's posted on here.  

 

Dr. Z....if you read my post more carefully, I already said that I wished his mindset was more focused on winning for the Zips.

And again, more stupid rumors.  Without anything tangible, things should be challenged.

 

Same thing as all the nonsense I heard during the WMU game "Ooh,  he's not even on the sideline".  No he's right there wearing a Pirates hat tossing a ball, talking with Chapman, and in every offensive huddle during timeouts and breaks in the action.  But yeah, he's not focused on the Zips...

So we should just take your word for gospel because you "know things?" How about that devastating injury news that was supposed to come out? 

[zippy5]

Seems the only real news was Marcus & Woodson coming back

Nothing in this last paragraph came from me.  

 

Yep, just spreading more stupid rumors, just like you accused me of doing when I told you we had a couple more DLs down after the WMU game.  Have at it, if that's how you choose to use this board.  That's your choice.  

 

Not everyone on here has the same level of information.  If you feel compelled to challenge it, do whatever makes you happy.

Yes, two more DLs down after the WMU game.  That's what I reported, and it was correct.  ITZ called it "devastating".  You can call it whatever you want.

Right, right, and did we have a couple of DL's down? Yes. Did you tell us anything we didn't already know?  No.

 

I could go back and find the quote from you, but you certainly made it out to be more than it was.  There was nothing particularly earth shattering

 

So yes I will continue to challenge unsubstantiated rumors on here, especially when it comes to player conduct.  i have been on this board for years, it's not the first time you have talked out your @$$.

You claimed I was "spreading rumors".  Now you claim that you already knew everything about the 2 injuries ??   If you knew, then why didn't you make a correction since the information was not correct when it was first reported on here?  That's what I did, and you challenged me.  So, obviously you didn't know.  

 

Do whatever you want on here. It's your posts.  Have fun.

Someone did insinuate Jamal Marcus would be returning. I can't recall who it was. Had I not read it on this forum and read between the lines, I would have have been shocked when tuning into the pregame. There are certainly people more in the know than I am and I'm not going to try to deny that. I'm young and still working my way up the corporate ladder. I'm in no position to give the large sums of dollars it takes to get on a name to name basis with coaches or higher ups in the athletic department. Maybe one day I will. Until then I appreciate the information the ones that have established relationships with people in the Zips office share.

Kreed, I think you have the right approach.  

 

I actually didn't know anything about the Marcus situation, so I never commented on it.  Others obviously knew, and reported it here.  Sometimes I know other things that people don't know about.  That's the nature of a fan forum.

"Something big is going to happen, but I'm not going to tell you what it is" is not information. It's a waste of everyone's time.

You're right. They told us Marcus was returning. Not that they knew something but couldn't tell us.

Second page of the Ball State thread. Good info.

I 100% agree. Don't mention something if you don't intend to even hint at what it might be. There are so many posts sometimes it's just too hard to keep track of who says what. All I know is some of these rumors are more than just rumors.
