While we do have a lackluster history in D-1 football, we now look at Kent as what *should* be an automatic win on the schedule and they look at Miami the same I'd imagine. We've also had some pretty epic match ups on the hardwood, and we both seem to have more of an online presence than Kent and Miami...so that makes it easier to get into it more I think. I get more enjoyment out of beating Ohio as well, because I know a lot of OU fans and they're obnoxious. "OU OH YEAH" is god dang annoying. It's something a person with the IQ of potato would constantly scream. If you watched OU walking off the field to the tunnel after the game a number of them kept looking up at the scoreboard shaking their heads in disbelief. I was particularly amused when I saw their O-lineman #65 who threw the cheap shot chop block at the goal line which ended up costing them a TD(and 4 points) staring up in disbelief. Priceless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's behind the visitors bench and usually has more opposing fans than Zips fans. Yes, OU has the most obnoxious, arrogant, delusional, ignorant and annoying fans I have ever seen. Even worse than Steelers fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 ^^^ Just to be clear, that is his rating for week 11 (vs Miami). I would imagine he makes next week's team as well for his effort vs OU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 If he graded out as at the top QB in the league for the Miami game, then we all must have been incredibly overcritical. That has to be the OU game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, From this point forward, we ought to look at 50% completion, 200 yds., and 1 TD as a great performance, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't witnessed the behavior you mention, but that would get old. However, having been at enough Zips games where it was near dead silent, it's hard to ask people to be quiet. Side note: I learned from a Brown's fan that when Modell packed up shop and took the Brownies to Baltimore, the Rooney's reserved a chunk of tickets for Brown's fans so that they could still watch NFL football.

You are correct. The Rooneys, if I'm not mistaken, were also a huge advocate for the Expansion Browns being created. Now an argument could be made by cynical conspiracy theorists it was partially because it would mean 2 wins for the Steelers every year with the joke that was the Expansion Draft for the browns in '99. But everything I've seen from Rooney has seemed to indicate he genuinely enjoyed and treasured the Browns rivalry. 32 minutes ago, LZIp said: IIRC, the Rooney's were the only owners who voted against the Browns leaving. I hate the Steelers, but have to respect the family. Indeed, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Rooney's for that. And let's be honest here, I have a tremendous amount for the Steelers franchise, because they've done a great job. I'm jealous of it. But I've been exposed to so many not cool steelers fans at Browns games, that it's soured me a bit. Like every time I've followed my team to another stadium, I have cheered for my team, but I haven't been an in your face jerk about it.

I'd be laughing hysterically if a fan of the team that was the beneficiary of a 167 to 19 margin in penalty yards was complaining that a bad call cost them the game.

My thoughts exactly! You beat me to the punch on this one. With that said, the zips certainly need to clean up the penalties going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Did anybody figure out Rourke's pre-snap hand signals? He would extend both arms and either give one finger, two fingers, or shake both hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) It was great seeing redshirt FRESHMAN Kato Nelson thoroughly outplay Rourke. Unless Rourke wanted to get a lot of experience holding a clipboard, it looks like he made the right choice in not coming to UA! How great is it knowing we're not going to have to worry about the QB position for THREE years?!!
