Captain Kangaroo

Whomever our Promotions Director is will not be working in the Atlanta Hawks organization any time soon.

If someone broke the microphone of the woman who does the Zips on-court MC-ing, would the fine be similar? Asking for a friend.

The disappointment of Travis' mom having to watch her son still throwing public temper tantrums at 44 years of age is better than any fine.

If Syracuse were stupid enough to hire-away a Zips AD who’s accomplished nothing, good for them. Then again, Fordham hired-away our Graphic Designer, so anything is possible.

Is it our fault the MAC office didn’t want its top teams playing each the twice?

I’m done buying Zips gear until the Fordham AD’s fast food logo is crumpled up and tossed in the dumpster. Which would be criminal to do to any dumpster, but sometimes it sucks to be a dumpster.

I was a college housemate (Sumner and Gage Streets) of Jack Patterson’s son John. I’m still very good friends with him today. I attended Jack’s funeral, and John’s eulogy he told a neat story about his dad. John’s team made the intramural finals at Stow high school. They couldn’t break a press, so he asked his dad for help. Jack was the beat writer for Ohio State at the time. During a road game trip Jack pulled OSU coach Eldon Miller aside in a hotel lobby and asked him how to break a press. Eldon took Jack’s notepad and drew it out. John’s team won the game. Not sure if they were pressed at any point, but they were prepared. 😊

Any Zips player who has pro aspirations is long gone from Infocision by the time their senior season rolls around.

You'd have expected Sharrone Young to be an assassin from the 3-line this season, and he's shooting 21.6% in conference play. He should be around 40%.

Nate’s mom was giddy when she learned that Nate would get an extra free year of education if he redshirted. I have to believe she about exploded when Nate told her he’d clear a million for 8 months “work” in Manhattan.

If YSU presently has the budget, the Zips should too?

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for him at The Score before the game. 👀

Mrs. Kangaroo may be getting wings and beer at The Score for her Valentine’s Day dinner. Man, I found a keeper in that girl.😃

Nothing says “I love you” more than snuggling on a wooden bleacher at 10pm and being serenaded by a 110 decibel woman’s clock countdown to a kid who’s just missed his 9th consecutive halftime promo free throw. Uh oh…I think I just gave @NWAkron more ammo.

If Princeton and James Madison were better, then we'd have probably lost to them like we did Murray State and Yale.

No 1 selling beer in the USA?

Cheapest ticket for Thursday is $21. Seems like that rises to $42 for Friday and Saturday. Come on Ohio lottery…we need ya baby!!

If Eric was able to parlay his marginal Freshman success this year into a $600,000 P4 payday like Okonkwo, we’re all doomed.

If Oggie started for another MAC team, that team would likely be terrible. He has a nice frame, a good motor, but he doesn’t merit any more minutes than he presently gets. In limited minutes he hasn’t shown much of a shot. He’s often off balance and on the floor. He needs to put in some work in the offseason and earn some minutes in 2026-7. He has potential, but he ain’t there yet.

How is it possible to see less?

Someone told me at the game that is was a players parents reunion event. Don't know if that's true, but that's what I heard.

The NIL money at P4 programs has gotten so stupid that it forces players to choose getting a fat pay check and losing over staying with their teammates/friends, coaches, and winning championships. That's just the way it is now. No use lamenting it. Next man up.

I wish someone would have stuffed one of the white out towels in the mouth of the woman MC on the floor. Jesus Christ was she over-the-top deafeningly loud.

I agree. Didn’t like a couple of the blocking calls that went against Lyles, but overall the refs were invisible tonight. That’s the way a well officiated game should be.
