GP1 Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 I went to see Max McAnally at the Newberry Opera House last night with Mrs. GP1 the luckiest woman in the world. I made it a point to be near my house to watch the Zips and watched an entire game for the first time in a long time. First of all, watching first quarter between when the QB threw an arm punt until the end of Q1 was a shocking display of incompetence. The seemingly nonstop turnovers to the coach going for a first down in a bad place was a disastrous display of events rarely seen in college e. I feel almost honored to have seen it. I've spent the last 18 years watching a low level ACC school struggle weekly to succeed and at times actually succeed. What makes them succeed is a level of talent just god enough to succeed with good coaching. I didn't realize it until this week after watching an entire game. The Zips are lacking in talent, in an a really bad way. If you want to blame the coach, go ahead. He's been at Akron for 3 years. There should be better talent. The coach is responsible for getting talent. I could go on for a long time, but pretty drunk. I predicted 3 wins at the beginning of the season. I'll stand by that. This program is in a horrible place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This program is in a horrible place. I’ll bite on the talent piece. Which specific players on the Buffalo team we just outgained 452 to 390 yards would start for us? Dolac at MIKE for sure, but who else? Edited November 2 by catdaddyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB, the RB that fumbled after our QBs first interception, etc. You're making a classic mistake of modern day sports fandom, which is using stats to make a meaningless point. I used my eyes to watch the game. What I saw were smaller players, slower on plays, less capable of throwing accurate passes down field less able to break up passes down field, less able to compete at the line of scrimmage, ets. If you are slower, less physically able, less intellectually able (mental talent is as impressive physically talent), you are going to lose, a lot. Everyone, please spare me you nonsensical stats. Facts aren't reasons. If you want less intelligent sports analysis, go to a stats page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not “faster or slower players.” Or maybe the “fast” players from Buffalo just left the stadium in the 4th quarter and it was a whole new group? I asked for specific players from the “talent” statement. I’d disagree about the QB, but we don’t share the same opinion. That said, if it is just the QB and RB, then the talent issue isn’t really the issue. Edited November 2 by catdaddyp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteubyZips Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 To be fair the refs messed up on the punt. You need to let the ball hit the ground before you can recover it. Even though it should never come down to division 2 refs making a call to decided the outcome of the game, it did happen and here we are.

I hate to say it, but our starting QB is trash. I don't care where he came from. The first interception was inexcusable. The fumble was predictable. Nothing good happens around him. The Zips are way worse than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
