GoZips88 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Gibson 4-for-4 and leads them to an 80-yd TD. They'll figure him out but nice start! Snide remark warning ... I wonder if he taunted UMass players afterwards? ;-) Edited September 28, 2019 by GoZips88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm absolutely miserable that I can't wear my Zips stuff with pride and talk to my students/other people about the Zips...or get excited about the Zips. "Mr. B how'd the Zips do this weekend" ... "they lost...again". I'm just waiting for all the hypocrites to come out of the woodwork and try to defend losing to 0-4 UMass. Hopefully the Zips will prove me wrong and find a way to win this. Experience has taught me not to hold my breath. Maybe that's the problem. You're wrapping up way too much of your self worth and emotion in this. Sure, it's disappointing but it shouldn't make you miserable or impact your clothes or school pride. The Zips are awful. There's no other conclusion that can be reached. Questionable play calling, but the biggest issue is a lack of talent. Hopefully, this is the year of experience for young guys to improve that will pay dividends down the line. Improvement will require not only the development of those kids but some better recruiting with a full season and off-season to beat the bushes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If only more Zips fans gave a damn...people keep asking about why not more people go to games...people don't care or give a damn. I won't apologize for caring...well, I won't apologize for used to caring. And note: I did not say that I wouldn't wear my Zips stuff...it's that I can't wear it with any shred of pride. In anything. You and I both know it's overly optimistic, borderline futile, to think that the Zips are going to turn around before Tom Arth is shown the door.

dre22era Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Yall need to stop with that criticize the fans BS The problem is the pee poor quality on the field. Why in da hell would I drive from Maryland to see us get our ass kicked on homecoming? Until the team starts winning the Zips are not worth the price of admission. And if you want to criticize anyone other than the team it starts with the damn students who indirectly have to pay for that BS out of their tuition and fees. And the homers in here who defended the hiring and over-hyping of this mediocre coach get an honorable mention too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been on around Frenchy on a basketball trip, I can tell you he gets irritated quite easily. Gibson was #1 QB from Georgia. Looks like Arth had him for UTC, and he then signed with Akron. I wonder if he will start against Kent. I'm not a Kato fan, so if Gibson is the real deal I look forward to him starting next season over Kato. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the mark of a real fan. Your original post just had the sound of a kid telling his mom that the kids at school were making fun of his clothes! Also, don't lump me into that one Balsy. They're only 4 games in and were hamstrung in recruiting by their late start. If I don't see improvement this season, better recruiting in the offseason and a substantial improvement next season, I'll be with you, but for now it is premature. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for other positions as well. I wouldn't burn any true freshman redshirts on this season but I would definitely take a good look at EVERY player on the roster for next year and at least get them some game action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
