dirtyolcrowe Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Since some people are drinking preseason hype kool-aid. let’s start predicting W-L record for the 2023 zip football team. I’m going to say 5-7. put your record down. No re do’s or adjustments. If you think there are going to be 12-0 and hit a NYD bowl game. put it down. 5-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyolcrowe Posted August 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) @catdaddyp you already said 8-4. So I’m adding for the record 😀 Edited August 1, 2023 by dirtyolcrowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I posted this on 7/6 in the 2023 Season thread. I'll copy & paste here... My projections (as of 7/6) @ Temple - W Morgan State - W @ Kentucky - L @ Indiana - L Buffalo - W NIU - W @ CMU - L @ BUGS - W KSUcks - W @ Miami - L @ EMU - L Ohio - L Total: 6-6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 4-8 would be underperforming. 5-7 would meet expectations. 6-6 would exceed expectations but not out of the world of reality. 7-5 would almost be a miracle, but an early season win against Temple could gain enough moment to make it possible. 8-4. No way. Temple is a very important game for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddyp Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Some off-season reading and finally an outlet that doesn’t list Moorhead at the bottom. Athlon Quarterback Rankings Athlon MAC Head Coach Rankings *Wrong thread. Please move this to 2023 season.* Edited August 2, 2023 by catdaddyp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'll go 6-6 just because I'm a Zips fan. That means a bowl game and nearly as much enjoyment as I've had as Zips fan in my 13+ years following the program 🤢. Can't be greedy!

Ham Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 8-5 OC: 2-2 Temple-W How we look in Philly will tell us a lot. MAC: 5-3 Tough bounces finally go our way, but just miss Detroit. Wagon wheel comes home. Bowl: W G5 match up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 6-6 reg. season 2-2 OOC. I predict the Indiana game will be close. 4-4 MAC. I predict no MAC team beats us by more than 2 scores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Put me down for 6-6. I will reserve my prediction for a bowl game when I learn of the opponent (but I like Catdaddyp's 8-4 better). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe ULM’s head coach is going for his 4th consecutive 4-8 season as a head coach. Could be a record of some sort, keep your eyes on them! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 I just think it's harder to turn a team around, especially the shape it was in after the Arth debacle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully disagree there. It’s easier than it’s ever been to turn around a program with the transfer portal. Only about 30 players remain from the Arth era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will pick up a few talented players, but teams in Akron's position are lucky to break even with the talent lost, and they aren't able to build the depth needed to win, quickly.

That’s actually the opposite of what’s happening.

zipsoutsider Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 It takes a couple of years to realize the value of HS signees, in most cases. I am not saying the program is a lost cause - I threw out my prediction, and we will see how close I am around Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
