Captain Kangaroo Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 The Zips will host Princeton this upcoming season. It was supposed to be Marshall...but they were needed to play in some tournament...so the Zips were given Princeton as compensation. And, Marshall will still be coming to the JAR...just not this season. The things you learn at the Zips golf outing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 My understanding is that the Zips were not "given" Princeton, but that the coaching staff went out and arranged this game after the Marshall scheduling conflict came up. However it came about, it will be a good exercise to go up against a methodical, disciplined offense like Princeton runs. Since Northwestern runs a similar style of offense, the Zips will have a chance to demonstrate that they learned something from their close NIT loss last season.

You understand incorrectly. Not only do the Zips get Princeton as compensation for Marshall, they get some cash too. And Marshall will still come to the JAR in the future.

Dave in Green Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So who do you think "gave" the Princeton game to UA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Back in the day when Bill Bradley played for Princeton, every game was on TV here in New York - in glorious black and white! At one time they were the top of the heap in hoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So who do you think "gave" the Princeton game to UA? While it is extremely tempting to ignore /igˈnôr'/ (verb) you, I am feeling generous today and will instead choose to enlighten you. The organizers of the tournament for which Marshall is postponing the Zips game were not in a position of power. Thus to secure Marshall in their tourney, they offered a deal of some cash and a home game with Princeton. How they had the ability to do so, or "why Princeton?", I didn't ask. If you want additional information, you should speak to some Zips coaches...like I did. Consider yourself enlightened. You are welcome.
