  1. Western Michigan has the billionaire Stryker family. One insignificant check from them would rebuild that program immediately.
  2. Ghost of Greg Tribble. Was for a tie
  3. Glass is always half empty in some corners.
  4. Groce is the greatest Akron Zips basketball coach ever. I will pat myself on the back and say I've been in his camp from Day 1. At Ohio, he took the Zips out twice in Cleveland. 4-0 in MAC titles. And, yes, he's benefiting from the financial help of Wentz BUT that benefit wouldn't be coming if Groce wasn't the coach he is. Wentz and others wouldn't throw that kind of $ at Boals or Lewis. This current group of players are solid and mature. Any MAC team would start Gray, Okonkwo, either Johnson, or Seth Wilson. I remember early in season Seth Wilson was benched. He was out of shape. A few weeks later Wilson was starting. Groce mentioned in the post game show that Wilson knocked off some bad habits. He's now a massive presence.
  5. Will be at game this evening. Misery but classic NCAA atmosphere. Kent gets hot from 3 this will get dicey fast.
  6. Joe Oxford
  7. Thx. As I said, a weary world awaits.
  8. Anyone know what's going on with NIU's non-football teams? Throw out everything for the Akron/PCCC game. Unpredictable.
  9. Kittens got nothing left.
  10. These guys have been playing so well and hard. Tough trip and turn around for Friday. Good win. But...we know the rest
  11. Burn the tape. Wake up call before Friday. Zips will lose in the MAC eventually, prefer not at NIU.
  12. Announcers pointing out the lack of a viable back up big.
  13. John's Next Endeavor...
  14. This is what happens when you live and die by the 3.
  15. I didn't know.
  16. If Groce can't run the table with this team, when will he?
  17. Are you saying the MAC blows?
  18. yes, that one.
  19. That white guy.
  20. That's some serious Stats Salad.
  21. And wondering what John's next endeavor will be.
  22. Hopefully, while in DeKalb over night, Groce can lay the ground work for a future home and home with NIU.
  23. Sight lines. A decent NIU team (Eugene German) beat #14 Buffalo in 2019. NIU made MAC semis that year and lost to BG by 4. Wow...a lifetime ago...a BG/NIU semi final. An average 2023 team beat Sincere and Kent by 10 in DeKalb.
  24. I hope all this NIU drama isn't a distraction for the men's basketball team tomorrow night. Could throw off the vibe.
