Back from toledo

[Valpo Zip]

Allright, i guess the 2 and 1/2 hours drive calmed me down a notch so i can type my thoughts:1 - I don't mind loosing, but i mind being humiliated by a poor performance like the one the zips put together today. I can't believe, i was stupid enough to waste my whole day and around $70 to go out and watch the group of clowns who unfortunately represent my school. (Kennedy, Harvey, Kemme, Reid, Stokes, Lindsay and the cornerbacks excluded).2 - What the hell is up with all those penalties ? how hard is it to leave the other player alone once he is out of bounds ? how hard is it for getsy (the biggest clown, not to say anything else) to watch the 25 seconds clock and call the snap on time ? false starts, holdings etc... 3 - The rockets had an offense who seemed so limited in the passing talent that they had to play 95% running. How can the "so called" best deffense in the MAC be unable to stop the run ? Toledo's runner always ran in the middle and always gained positive yardage ranging from 2-30 yards/play.4 - how can the "so called" best deffense in the MAC be so easily tricked into a 50 yards option pass and a 30 yard fake FG attempt conversion into TD ?5 - Why is it that everytime one or more of our deffenders tried to tackle Toledo's runner, the runner was still able to drag them for an additional yardage ?6 - Luke is sooo weak and coward, everytime a deffender is less than 4 yards away from him, even if an OL is still blocking him, he will just spin and run... the best part about it, once he spins and run, that's it, he either slips or get sacked or throws out of bounds... 7 - Luke threw one interception at the TD line, (i won't blame him for the other one because it was not his fault), he threw horrible passes to DK, Harvey, Lindsay and Jabari, he over threw a wide open KAZ in the end zone and the best thing, the last play of the first half... how on earth did he fumble that one ? the OL did a great job and he had all the time he wanted and the closest deffender was may be 6 or 7 yards away, Harvey was wide open... guess what ? he fumbled. I just can't get it... did a bird tip the ball out of his jello hand ? i need to every time i remember it.8 - I can't believe that Luke got all the snaps in the game, even the last ones when the score was 35-20 with 2:00 left on the clock... I mean what exactly is going on ? Is JD trying to help his statistics to improve his draft chances ? does anyone really think that Luke Getsy got any chance in the draft ? i don't care if Luke is his man, and that he came all the way from Pitt and bla bla bla... The clown's career is over. Throw him at the bench and let's put our team and its future first.9 - We lost to a MAC winless team who cannot pass the ball. This season is prematurely over, 15,000 in average attendance... yeah right. Brookhardt deserves a raise, i don't think so. We are a MAC power, hell noo... we are the MAC big heads, that's what we are. All the preseason polls and reports got into our heads and we crowned ourselves as MAC champions right after the NCSU win... I just hope KD knows better.

Yea, hard to argue with any of that. How many blocked punts are we going to have this season? Both punting and place kicking this year have been a fiasco. I dunno, it was very discouraging to watch. I hate losing to a lesser team, but we did it again.

Agreed! Is it possible just to put these guys on the field and see what they can do on their own? It couldn't possibly be any worse than the way we played last night! These boys played balls-to-the-wall and kept the game from being even more embarrasing than it already was!Kennedy: way to see the holes and make bad playcalling and bad blocks into gained yardage 119 yards to be exact....good game!Harvey: way to make great catches out of bad passes and at least gain some yardage on punt returns.Kemme: glad someone on OL does their job. Enough said.Reid: thanks for the forced fumble (turned into 6 points), and congrats on the career- high 9 tackles. Glad someone still has heart and wants to be on the field! Stokes: we need more linebackers like this! 9 stops...way to be!Lindsay: a dropped pass, it happens....4 receptions for 50+ yards....still getting it done.As for the rest of you.....take some lessons from these boys! They know how to get 'er done. Bad thing is, they CAN'T DO IT ALONE!!!!

what happened to nate robinson yesterday? i saw that he didn't play and had been playing really well against the run lately.

[Ballingirl]

hurt his knee in last week's game. Was dressed to play at the beginning. Saw him warming up on the sidelines, and looked in pain. Came back out from halftime in his warm-up suit. Guess his knee's still bothering him.

[AZipsCrazy]

That's a shame he was really helping out our D up front. He's definitely become one of the more valuable players on the defense and his presence was definitely missed Saturday.

[Ballingirl]

his presence helps as long as he can keep is attitude and ego under control. When those 2 things get outta hand, it has affected the whole team.
