Captain Kangaroo Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 It's been a hectic Labor Day weekend. Here is the belated write up on the Zips/Nittany Lions game. Thanks to Dr. Z for taking the time on his holiday weekend to create the layout. Akron - Penn State 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Great write up! Perfect assessment. We should have a better understanding of this team in 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have a better understanding of this team in 3 weeks. If we want to be a 1-AA team I get that response. If we actually want to be a REAL D-1 team I can't accept that and I also got my understanding of what this team is. We stink. We really really stink. We need to get a LOT better for anyone to even give 2 shits about this team. I am so sick of people wussy footing around real expectations of a D-1 team. Yes we are in the MAC. No... I don't expect to win that game. However, I don't accept that outcome. Let me ask you... what would Toledo fans think if they just got ass beat 52-0. I can tell you... it would be WAY different. Alright, bring on the excuse makers. Edited September 4, 2017 by Zipgrad01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 There is something between P5 and 1AA and we are it, whether we like it or not. The amount of money, tradition, and fan base these teams have make it very difficult for us to compete at the same level. That's just reality.

A legitimate D-1 team doesn't get completely ass beat like that. The toledo's of the world are in the same position as us. They don't just shrug it off and make excuses like you just did. They expect to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What excuse am I making? I am just describing reality. There is a reason that even am undefeated WMU barely got a Jan 1 bowl game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 01, apparently, you won't be satisfied with anything short of a national championship; so why don't you spare us with your negativity? Just get your news from the BJ. Then, you won't have to read anything about the Zips! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on this board would be having a circle jerk if they performed like wmu did against USC. This board is the ultimate collection of "we almost won" fans. We would be telling tales to our children and grandchildren about how we almost beat USC for the next 2 decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
