Just as many (me included) predicted ... oh en twelve; oh en twelve
Thank God for Caleb Porter, the Rowdies and the Zips men's soccer team for carrying us through these terrible times. oh en twelve. Its icoach's personal motto. footnote: Heard icoach pre-game interview before the Cant (choking on this) game. He has all the vigor, enthusiasm of a kumquat. |

So how does Bill Belichick rate on the kumquat scale? Would anyone care about the public personality of the Zips coach if he stacked up wins like Belichick?
Sorry, but it's just plain silly to me to criticize a coach for being too reserved, wearing the wrong clothing, having hair that's too straight, etc., etc. The only thing Zips fans are really concerned about is having a coach who wins more games than he loses. I'll take a nice, ripe kumquat of a coach who wins, as long as he's not a lying, cheating crook. Public personality is irrelevant. |

I'm fairly certain people would like to see RI fail, just to say they were right. Same goes with You Tube Tom.

But I think for the most part (similar to the situation with the leader of our country) it's just that when you see someone failing, you'd rather see them replaced sooner rather than later. Akron is a D-1A program. We should NOT be a training camp for head coaches. |

The basketball Zips need to sack-up and beat K.e.n.t. this season. We were not remotely competitive with them last season, and are riding a 3-game losing streak to Gino Ford.

I'll take a nice, ripe kumquat of a coach who wins, as long as he's not a lying, cheating crook. Public personality is irrelevant. Players dont respect guys that aren't excited about the game (of football). I have a few inside sources on this: Ianello acts that same way at practice, he has that same tone all the time. I'm sure dressing like a 70 year old man (no offense to any on ZN.o) doesn't help his case either. And Belichick does has these things when at practice and when talking to his players, no coach is an emotionless weirdo and wins. --------------------  |
