zipsoutsider Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Watching Woodson on the sidelines he did not seem disengaged. If TB calls his number, he will be ready. The cat video was horrible. We never need to see that, again. Why did it take so long to play Sweet Caroline? I think they are running a very limited playbook with Kato. Kent has a not terrible defense and plays pretty good man. The combination made it pretty easy to shut down Kato. He became rattled. We have to either go with Woody or fix this over the next 2 weeks.Tgere were some passes that could have been caught, but overall, the accuracy was not there. It seemed like he was trying to do too much, again. Gilbert played lights out ball. One of the first times we have sent him to rush the backfield. I think the D continues to improve every week. I am not sure why we did not try to block their punts. Their LS was terrible and the ball just floated back to their punter. Gasser had some tremendous punts last night, and put the ball right where we needed him to put it. He won't make the Ray Guy list, but he gets the job done for us. The guys kept their heads against some pretty cheap shots from Kent, and I was glad to see it. Kent was obviously a team that was beyond frustrated and a coach who knew he was done. Bowden has been able to keep this team focused on their goals and they are as emotional as I have seen a Zips team in the last 4 years. They believe they will be MAC Champions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Kent is ranked third in the MAC in passing defense, I can see why, they played excellent pass coverage last night. I wouldn't have waited until this morning to fire Paul Haynes, I would have fired him at halftime. Second worse call I have ever seen at Info giving the ball to your fullback at the end of the half. After the game Gilbert said he, and a few others decided to go sleeveless because the weather was so nice. Loved that comment from a Florida guy. Butler brought out his own turnover chain after his pick (see photos), just, awesome! Jamal Davis played his best game as a Zip last night. Gasser nailed three inside the ten!?!

Balsy Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 The Zips have an opportunity here. Last night was a fun game, singing sweet caroline (I know it's not our tradition, but fans of all ages got into it), with the atmosphere AND a Zips win, it couldn't be sweeter. The opportunity is this: You've probably got a little more buy in from some students. You created a relatively fun atmosphere, something worth being at, and WON THE GAME. They're offering $20 round trip (including bus ride and a T-Shirt and Pre-game party) for students to Detroit (brilliant!). You've got lined up probably the best potential Recruiting class in the Bowden Era, and will likely be getting a second look from those borderline recruits we usually lose on signing day, to potentially flipping them in our favor. THIS is the time, if ever, the Zips need to make a move to establish something. After thanksgiving break, they need to make a HARD push on campus to make sure everyone knows the Zips are in the MAC Championship game. They need to start planning viewing parties with local companies, w/e on campus for those who can't make the trip. They need to make a hard push to students to get them to make the trip, $20 is VERY duable. Hell, I'm willing to personally chip in $100 and buy students a free trip there myself! Plan some hype for the Basketball team/Soccer Team on the Bus as well. Captive audience and get them excited for everything ZIPS that we have going well for us right now. We Zips faithful need to start making calls to local bars to ask them kindly to be playing the MAC Championship game in their establishments. Most importantly though: Zips need to find a way to win the MAC C. Get these younger Zips fans something to get excited about, especially the ones who make the dadgum trip; and carry that excitement over into next year. People want to be a part of something winning, something fun. Nothing beats this opportunity. Find a way Terry. Dadgummit, find a way Terry!

Some drops of course didn't help things, but that was not a very good game at all outside of the first drive. He looked worse than he did vs Miami. I agree. You now HAVE to give him the start next week. By giving him a full game last night, with your previous starter not playing for a month, you have no other choice. But, I think you'd be forced to do the same for the bowl game too. That would be the riskiest move of all, to switch back to a QB who hasn't seen action since October.

If only it were that simple. Whether they'd tell you directly or not, they'll continue to have a "our patrons don't care about the Zips" attitude, unless the people start showing up and convincing them otherwise. I pretty much got the same response from our local newspaper the other day when they responded to my inquiry about why they are asking for only Ohio State tailgating pictures to post on their Website, rather than Akron tailgate pictures.

The MAC Championship game was put at 12pm on Saturday in hopes that we could get the early time slot on ABC. But they gave that to the AAC Championship game, and have it scheduled for exactly the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only hope. If they fall for it, Toledo will be prepared for a Zip offense that goes into hibernation during the second half with receivers running routes out of bounds.

Section210Zip Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'm making the mistake of listening to Sam and Brad on WAKR for the 2nd straight week. These guys really like to kick puppies. Its so infuriating how our local media treats us. I guess sports reporting has just turned into the evening news.... here are all the bad things that happened today and if you eat this you will die next with the weather, the biggest blizzard that man has ever seen.
