Blue & Gold Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Posted December 5, 2020 Anyone else more nervous than excited about today’s game? If we lose to BUGS, oof. Especially with Buffalo on deck. Next week is likely to be ugly. I don’t want Arth & Co. to have to motivate, encourage & hold together a 2x winless team this offseason. If we win I think I’m just going to feel a sense of relief. 3 Quote

If we win I think I’m just going to feel a sense of relief. Good morning. I hope We see a ton of Dollard today. I hope the operation is clean and the Zips win time of possession. I think keys to the game today are controlling the game on the ground, turnovers and penalties at a minimum, keep the ball so the D stays off the field. Typical stuff that usually equals a win. Victory number one is on the way. I feel it. Edited December 5, 2020 by Palmyra19 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 Just looked at BG's forum. There's an Akron game thread but it's filled primarily with discussions about the ESPN contract and the departure of Bowden. Quote

Feed Dollard and I like our chances. BG has the worst run D in the nation. Edited December 5, 2020 by LZIp 1 Quote
LZIp Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 All kinds of talk about the Buckeyes being down 20 players today. We are down 20 assuming everyone is available every week.. there should really be exceptions to the annual limit of 25, especially in today’s transfer happy environment. Quote
330Zip Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Akron absolutely needs to win today. We cannot go winless again in another season. Recruiting this year seems awfully bad. It’s already the worst in D1 football right now. Looking at some of the guys we have offered Akron is their only D1 offer. Another winless season will make the offseason that much harder. Imagine convincing Highschool kids to come here and we have the longest winless streak in D1 football by a lot. Let’s be honest who wouldn’t consider taking a D1 AA scholarship over Akron right now. There are plenty of AA schools that have produced more NFL talent than Akron has over the years. Also you’d enjoy winning some games. I’m also sick of hearing how much experience our young guys are gaining this year without losing a year of eligibility. Well guess what, every other team is doing the same damn thing and they’re already better than us. Also not to mention the transfers we will potentially lose this off-season. Sorry to sound bitter it’s just the truth. This is a must win for some sort of momentum with this program going into next year and it still isn’t enough.

zippyfan34 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 34 yards on first 2 carries and then we drop back for 3 straight passes. Then we get lucky with the fumble on the punt. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 Gibson should not be throwing it much today. The killed a a decent first drive by going to the pass. Quote
LZIp Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 This offense looks like crap outside of a few Dollard runs. Luckily BG sucks as well.... I'd consider benching Gibson already..he has no control over the offense...consistently snapping with 1 second left on play clock. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 So far it is easy to see why these teams have 0 wins between them. Quote
NWAkron Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 This team is so bad. Bless their hearts Quote
94zipgrad Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 Wow, offense looks terrible, fix the screw ups Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 Nothing exemplifies The Toilet Bowl better than - Fumble Fumble Fumble Time out Time out 2 Quote
LZIp Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 Got the lead....now lets see if the defense shows up today. Quote
zipsoutsider Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 This is a game between 2 horrible football teams. Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 Bubba and the 10 invisible men coming up. Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 Nice run coming out of 2 timeouts on 3rd down in the red zone. Quote

LZIp Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Its looks like Cochran and Amankwaa are starting instead of Riley and Obgonna today..hard to confirm though with our horrible camera angle. Edited December 5, 2020 by LZIp Quote
LZIp Posted December 5, 2020 Report Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) BG is blitzing the corner/LB off the edge on the slow developing hand off every single time. Let's adjust! Edited December 5, 2020 by LZIp 1 Quote
