They should at least let Kato finish any drive that he starts

Do not agree. He was in a hole when they put Tommy in and it would have been a bad spot for a turnover. 

 

I actually like the limited reps, in meaningful spots in the games, that  he gas been getting, but you do more harm to leave him when there is a higher liklihood of failure.

Multiple times this week, coach Bowden expressed that he wanted more explosive plays. I’m sure Woodson was following a game plan. Hard to argue the results.

On a couple of those deep throws for incompletions we had wide open tight ends cutting across the middle of the field. Woodson needs to quit trying to hit a homerun so often.

I liked that we used ut as an opportunity to continue to look for the deep threat. I don't know that we are there yet and hope they practice it all week long. I exoect us to have a lot if success with 10-15 yard oasses against WMU, which will force them to leave less cushion and for us to be able to break a coupke of deep balls. We have to be able to connect on explosive plays against tougher opponents.

 

Also, not sure how well Booker can catch, but we should not throw to Junk. Williams has been pretty sure handed, but he was out for this game.

And BG holds on Oxford to beat Miami. Add that game to the "winnable" column.

I did not watch the game.  Evidently no one else did either, or they surely would have mentioned this. . .

Can someone please tell me why Woodson seems to overthrow almost everyone? What the heck is going on with him?

Reps might be the short answer. The Zips have a lot of new receivers he is working with. He had surgery in the offseason and just started to throw in June. He didn't get to scrimmage much in the summer. I have heard some people claim there was wind Saturday. Standing on the field, I didn't really feel it though. He's been pretty good at the deep throw throughout his Zips career, I would guess the passing game continues to progress throughout the year. 

 

 

He did not overthrow Wolf on this touchdown.

Twenty-five different Zips recorded tackles Saturday!!? ?

I know sophomore lineman Devin Jones, junior linebacker Travonte Junius, & junior defensive back Hugh Cade got in for plays too. That's 28 different defenders?  

 

Anybody notice others not listed?

Just FYI, we (ZNO forum) aren't as online famous as we would like to think. 

 

Wife and I showed up the game; we have lot 9 parking pass

 

Walk to first tent: "Where can we find ZNO tailgaters?"

[BLANK STARE]

"You know, the online zips forum.... zips nation.org...."

[CRICKETS]

 

Repeat at 2 other tents...

 

Maybe we just asked the wrong groups but where do y'all set up the ZNO tailgate? Do you have any particular flag/banner that distinguishes the spot as ZNO folk?

 

We'd like to come by next game and introduce ourselves.

Go under the scoreboard for the most part. Keener was AWOL for the game, but besides that the usual suspects were there.

Fair enough. Remember, though, I'm the FNG and I have no idea what any of you yahoos look like :rofl:

 

So "under the scoreboard" equates to the row closest to the stadium (as opposed to the exchange street side of the lot) and closest to gate 1?

Jim Tressel on the left. Coach at Youngstown State at the time. Jerry Faust on the right. Coach at Akron at the time. Game at the Rubber Bowl in the early 1990's if I am not mistaken.

Y.town was D-1AA. Akron full D-1. Somebody help me with this. Was this the game where Y.town beat Akron on a freezing cold afternoon?

 

Oh yeah.  I know who these guys are.  I've spent three decades needling Ohio in-laws about sports.  Pretending not to know is part of my schtick!

We had a few from ZNO join us in Lot 4 for the Iowa State game!  :wave:

 

One even put up Zips flags and tents in the midst of Cyclone Country.  We are such a cordial bunch.

The percentage of posters in the parking lot is very low.  At least posters who would admit being posters.

 

I remember the first time I ventured into Lot 9.  By my recollection, my brother-in-law and I made the walk over from our tailgate in Lot 34 to see how the other half lived.  I had recently joined the forum and as fortune shined upon me that day, the first person I talk to turns out to be none other than Captain Kangaroo, who introduced me to Dr. Z, ZipsWin!, 2Ball and JZ84.  Later on I met ZG01.  Add to this a bunch of other guys who aren't posters and the rest is history.  I walked over for the rest of 2010 to visit but I needed to get into that lot because I couldn't miss out on that kind of a good time any longer.  2011 was the first year with a Lot 9 pass and my goodness have we had some fun times.  I really miss some of the players' familes, though.  When the Pohls, Switzers, Caponis, Hundleys, Pauls and Rossis were all kicking it in the lot, it was probably the most fun time ever.

 

CDMac, you might just get bitten by the tailgating bug and get hooked too.

I would say the first 2 rows closest to the stadium and closest to gate 1, not closer to the street.

It amazes me how many people swears by Woodson, it’s because of this  why he can’t get this done or that done, I can’t wait till day he moves on like I really have a rooting interest for the team because I have relative playing for them on offense and we speak constantly and I’ll leave it at ??‍♂️

You spelled Milwee wrong.
