That'll do it. We're not good enough to hold a comfortable lead. We're still in Bowden's "Win close" phase.

More like our coaches aren't smart enough to hold a comfortable lead. Miami is putrid. 2 weeks in a row the Zips play a nail biter against 2 of the absolute worst teams in the country. Any other conclusion is spin, pure and simple.

Spin? No. Acceptance that we aren't a very good football team? Clearly! ;)

Warms my heart to read ZN members complaining about a 9 point victory on the road. Now the tough part of our schedule, the home games. Should we wear our road uniforms at home? :lol:

Screw it, let's wear the 2005 road uniforms, or the ones from the Can't game that year.

Jatavis Brown:

7 solo tackles, 4 assists, 2 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception.

What a performance.

2009: 3-9

2011: 1-11

2012: 1-11

2012: 1-11

2013: 5-7

2014: 5-7

2015: TBD

Because, clearly our coaches are idiots.

Lets examine these 5 wins....

1. Savannah State - 1-8 1-AA team. They are so bad they lost 42-3 to Morgan State, 55-9 to Howard and 42-3 by Hampton.

2. Louisiana - 4-5. Their 4 wins are against 1-AA Northwest State, 2-6 Texas State, 2-6 Georgia State & 1-8 louisiana monroe. Impressive.

3. Eastern Michigan - 1-9. Their 1 win is against 1-9 Wyoming. Yeah!

4. UMass - 1-9. Their 1 win is against 5-5 FIU.

5. Miami - 2-9. Their 2 wins are against 1-AA Presbyterian and 1 win Eastern Michigan.

They could ride the short bus to work and get 5 wins against that group of titans!!!

The fact is, in 4 years we have only beaten 2 teams with a winning record. 7-5 Toledo in 2013 and 7-5 Pitt in 2014. Hardly an impressive win list.

Better than losing to these teams, no?

Absolutely. That wasn't the point. The point is that some people think we are further along than we really are. We have improved so slightly that we now barely beat the worst pieces of garbage in football instead of losing to them. We have been blessed with the most cupcake MAC schedules in history for the last 2 or 3 years.

We need some good wins to really start selling the program. Recruiting is still stagnant. Beating these rum dums doesnt fool anyone. We are so tormented that beating a high school team makes us feel good.

Well, recruiting is improving and we're beating the teams that we should be. But yes, we are far from being a really good team right now. A bowl appearance would help immensely, so being 5-5 right now is fine.

How is recruiting improving? Please give specific details. Signing day is less than 3 months away and we have 2 commits.
