Yep. Definitely feel like they give more leeway to the bigger programs in terms of celebrating. 

There was a similar call in I think the Colorado game. But four players were standing around the ball and they called all four of them for personal fouls. Pretty ridiculous. I understand if you cake the ball away or kick it in the stands or something like that but just spinning it right where it can be picked up. Seems excessive as a penalty. Time to change the rule. 😊

Why the heck are the Zips throwing with 2 minutes left in the game? Run the clock out and end this. 

 

Even though I picked Colgate to cover, I want this game to be over with. 

 

That was some good foresight of our muffed punt and red zone interception!

Don't forget the shanked punt leading to a 51 yard FG by Colgate.  When is the last time a Zips kicker hit from 50?

likely a 17 point swing in the score. Of course they probably had a few mistakes that might have offset some of it but we should have covered the spread.

A little unfair - Garrison Smith hit both a 48 and a 49 yarder against OSU.

Daren Alcorn 1992 vs. Toledo???   That's my best guess!

Igor hit one from 50 to win a game if my memory is correct.  Then he said he was gonna get drunk on the post-game.

Stein right above Igor, was in 2013. Based on early indications this season, betting we get one this year.

Heckman, Alcorn, and Graham were terrific kickers for UA back in the day.

 

Klaus was pretty good as well. 

 

Hearing French call that game winning kick against Toledo made me think he was going to have a heart attack. What is French up to now?

French is enjoying retirement. Visiting his kids and grandchildren. He does not miss getting up at the crack of dawn for WNIR gig.

Good for him. I remember way back him being on Matt Patrick’s show. Patrick called him Fry. There was Barbara someone as well.

Klaus bombing 70 yarders in pre-game was great!

Or the bus ride to N. Illinois.  I loved hearing him gripe about that trip and the one crummy hotel in all of DeKalb.
