Captain Kangaroo Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 It's been a long time since we've had a raucous thread worthy of the Kent State game. We'll see if we can have some fun with this one? Hopefully Kent fans show up at InfoCision in large numbers...but they will probably stay home and cuddle with their instead.

Hilltopper Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 They might have to schedule a makeup field hockey game that day, so that might effect the number of fans that show up at Info. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Roo Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Kent State -- Higher Learning -- can they make a knife from what???? Scientists try but fail to make a KNIFE from their own frozen feces after an explorer claims Inuits use the technique in the Arctic. To put the story to the test, Kent State University anthropologists Metin Eren, Michelle Bebbera and their colleagues froze human faeces in knife-like shapes at temperatures of -20°C (-4°F) in a laboratory freezer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 We'll be sizable home dogs, but I can ALWAYS talk myself into beating Kent State. Coming off a bye, let's hope everyone plays loose and with fire. Maybe they do some fun stuff with Gibson, maybe a healthy Kato comes back and torches the secondary, maybe the turnover pencil gets used enough times to need sharpened, I don't know. Just BEAT KENT!!!!! A win here for this staff would be worth a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipsVoice Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 The nice thing is, the men's soccer team finally got off the schneid and recorded their first win, and they host BG at 7 at First Energy Stadium, so since the football game will more than likely still be going on, if Kent is ruining homecoming for you, just leave and walk over to see some men's soccer, or the best team on campus right now may be the Volleyball team, are playing the Golden Flushes too...at 7:00 as well at the JAR. Who the hell does the scheduling for the Athletic Department that there are two other on-campus sporting events starting BEFORE the football game will be over?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I've somehow convinced two out of towners with no connection to the University at all to come. We will have a fun time tailgating at least. Regarding the game...we will be coming off of a much needed bye with either a healthy Kato or a freshman QB who has had two weeks to prepare and Kent will be coming off getting crushed by Wisconsin, so there is a glimmer of hope... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Where is any excitement for this game? Yes, on paper, we don't look to be a winner Saturday, but when the tables have been turned in the recent past, we have not had a cake walk. Where is George with an interview? Dunn could do a piece. Who is healthy or not? The players and coaches have had 2 weeks to regroup. I expect both to be ready to perform Saturday. If l were running the show, l would forget rushing yards and passing yards. l would concentrate on moving the ball into the end zone. Figure out what you can do effectively. Same on D. If you can't get pressure on the QB with 4 rushers, put 5 or 6 into the rush. Sure that would put you man coverage, but suck it up. You don't need to do it every down. Same on stopping the rush; do more rush blitzes. We are not winning the battles straight up. We need to take more risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jupitertoo Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 If you're looking for proactive reporting by George, you're barking up the wrong tree. "I do exactly what is expected of me and nothing more." 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it looks like there are only two conditions under which the Zips can't perform: pressure and lack of pressure. If I could get a guarantee that the Zips would predominantly use a 6 man rush I would be willing to give up to 24 points. Go Zips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was so irritating last year. I was hoping they would change the route so it didn't mess with the faithfuls in lot 9. I'm thankful for the heads up though, since last year I showed up and was told i wasn't allowed in along with the line of trucks behind me who were not aware either. The university just doesn't know how to plan events around their sporting events. They totally botched the fan application tailgate on the home opener.

I would have to imagine Ryan McGee is itching to follow this game. Can't was in the Bottom 10 up until their drubbing of BUGS. The updated Bottom 10 comes out tomorrow. What are the Vegas odds we remain at #1 after beating the BYE week? At least we're #1 in something.

LZIp Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hypothetical - if Gibson were to come out and look good and we beat Kent, do you go burn his redshirt in a lost season or go back to Kato? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Kato, need to look at what is best for future of team, use his 4 games for experience but IMO nothing is worth burning his redshirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
