Just saw a story on Fox8 about the Zips boarding buses this afternoon for the game tomorrow night. Please tell me those were buses to the airport. 

Of course they were.

They're on the West Virginia turnpike as we speak.  They are yellow busses that say Peterman on the side.

The buses were to take the players to the Enterprise car lot where they drove six to an SUV to Columbia; the AD got a manager's discount at Enterprise.

They flew down on a charter from Akron/Canton. Frontier A-330. Nice hotel in Columbia. Team buses had a bad-ass police escort from the hotel to the stadium. 3 motorcycle cops and a state trooper. Big time experience for the guys!

i thought Frontier was long gone from Akron/Canton. my nephew is a captain at Frontier, use to stay with me instead of going to motel with flight crew. Then i would take him to his next day departing  flight.

It was a charter

Florida St/Cal is on ESPNU right now, and duke/middle Tennessee st was originally supposed to be on ESNPU. Hope this doesn’t throw off the coverage

Does anyone have an idea of whether the players look forward to the big time football atmosphere and enjoy playing these games or are they tired of getting beat up by superior teams?

They just switched to the Akron vs. South Carolina game.

[zipsrule]

Good start for the defense.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Nice 3 and out to start the game.

 

Keep. Finley. Upright. 

[LZIp]

Christ. Can’t even get punt team right.

[zipsrule]

Good punt once we got 11 players out there.

[MarkWiley]

I don’t want to hear about how loud our speakers are anymore. I can’t talk to the person next to me. 

[LZIp]

We aren’t tackling well

Over pursuing too. 
 

This QB isn’t much of a thrower. If we can just keep him in front of us, we should be able to make some stops.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Hate the side-to-side play calling. 

[LZIp]

this is gonna be ugly

[Captain Kangaroo]

Not regretting skipping the road trip.

If Finley is not going to throw the ball down field, why not put in Tahj.  He is a better runner.  This offense sucks with quick passes left, quick passes right and nothing down field so Finley does not get hit.  Only 1 first down on this anemic offense.

[LZIp]

Thats what happens when you try and throw it down field unfortunately.

Tahj is there best duel threat QB his body is built to take these hits vs big teams but hey I’m not a coach 🤷🏾‍♂️
