  1. At least Currie didn't leave with a broken jaw. So moving in the right direction.
  2. Should have been a clue? I'm Team Groce. For every 3 or 4 LCJ, X, etc there will be a "what were we thinking" recruit.
  3. You would get more bang for your buck using Hilltoppers tab.
  4. But unless we get that "Big" we are doomed.
  5. Despite having a relatively innocuous payload, these guns have not always brought joy to attendees. In 2018, a mascot named Chip at the University of Colorado-Boulder suffered an injury when a T-shirt cannon malfunctioned, shooting him in the groin. (The video, of course, went viral.) That same year, a fan named Jennifer Harughty claimed that Orbit, the mascot for the Houston Astros, shot her with a T-shirt and shattered her finger, necessitating surgery. In 2019, Alex Swanson was at Citi Field for a New York Mets game and alleged that a shirt struck him in the eye and knocked him unconscious. Both sued the respective teams. remember if you see the University you must file in the Court of Claims. I was lucky. not injured.
  6. TOS. Dan Majerle going home to CMU?
  7. I was merely referencing the attendance at the typical EMU game
  8. I'm sure there will be a crowd of 10-12 there to greet him at the first game
  9. EMU to the Elite 8! EMU hires Stan Heath as men's basketball coach; ex-boss Tom Izzo calls it 'terrific hire' Tony Paul The Detroit News
  10. EMU and CMU are taking their time. Both playing game of chicken over Paul Winters I guess.
  11. the courts have a lot of programming and treatment options for first time offenders that can lead to a dismissal of the charges even if a gun is involved.
  12. And time for some other players to shine and step up. Time for LCJ to move on with his life and for the team to forge ahead with Groce.
  13. I'm with you. No guarantees Zips win last year or that they don't blow up in a first round.
  14. One of my least favorite MAC players and not because he hurt the Zips in a few games. Good riddance.
  15. any word on the seniors besides LCJ and Reese? I think IlliniZip is itching to up date his scholarship chart.
  16. https://www.c-span.org/video/?508652-1/ncaa-v-alston-oral-argument I will put this hear because it is somewhat relevant to Akron's pay to play schedule. The link is to the supreme court arguments on NCAA athlete compensation. There's a lower court ruling that allows for almost $6000 per year in compensation and unlimited post-grad "internship" payments. But the problem is that every year there's going to be more and more litigation and athletes going to court saying the $6000 isn't enough. Also, they discuss how only a few schools profit from athletics. Not sure how it's going to come out, but I don't think the Supreme Courts wants the federal courts putting the NCAA in receivership and monitor all of this.
