Ok...now that I know how to search for them, there's a bunch of them on there. They're just as funny today laughing.gif

The amazing thing is that this was documenting how their FOOTBALL team was better than OSWho, which has held true. We've always known that Ohio has good equality in D-1 basketball, but I couldn't have predicted that someone else besides OSWho would reign supreme in football.

If you are Groce are you happy and sad at the same time. I mean you are the third choice at this point.

Still surprised Shaka turned Mike down...I thought that would be a good fit.

If Akron wins the Championship game and takes the Zips to the sweet 16 is he the third choice instead of Groce?

If Groce won the NIT, and Dambrot made it to the Sweet 16, who would get the Illinois job?

Seriously - Groce's resume, with 3 NCAA wins, dwarfs KD's. Groce is being considered for Big 10 jobs.

MAC coaches with 20-win seasons, and zero noteworthy post-season wins get consideration for lower-level MVC jobs. Not Big10 jobs.

Could be. Who do you think would be the new number two candidate to bump Shaka down to number three?
(in your hypothetical, you aren't suggesting that Shaka came back and took the Zips to the sweet 16 are you? There is no way that would bump him down to the third spot.)

Ohio just added a 6'8 swingman transfer from Missouri to their already athletic roster.

I'm afraid you're right. It's good to bring some people back to reality.

Not only a lack of noteworthy post-season wins, but a lack of noteworthy wins, period.

Wow Cap'n watch out you're going to get nailed for this response. They will call you ungrateful and a hater. Where is Dave in Green - I'm sure he will respond to this and I'll look forward to his respone. Not to mention a certain players's mom.

Plus 6'4" shooting guard Caris LaVert from Pickerington. He was amazing in the state D-1 championship game.

If Groce and Cooper return, I fear we may be second best again next year. puke.gif

Can't argue with reality. The record speaks for itself. KD and the Zips are still just short of that last step it takes to get big-time national attention. We all want to see them take that last step up and get all the national acclaim for UA, and then have KD stay true to his word and not ditch the Zips for the multimillion-dollar offers that would surely follow as they have for Shaka, Brad Stevens, etc.
