  1. Seems way more along the lines of Tre Chapman 2.0 to me. And most others, I think. It’d be great if he proved me wrong. But…
  2. I give B Artis an “F-“ in commitment.
  3. Good for Dru. It's a gamble for a bb program in a multi-bid (more often than not) conference to take a flier on a guy with zero HC experience...but what do they have to lose? Worst case, they wait another 47 years to get into the tournament. I'd rather take my chances with a guy like Dru than dig up some HC retread that had marginal P5 success. Wonder what the future holds for McNees and McFadden?
  4. Duquesne comes to mind. This issue isn't the scandal itself, it's the fact that you don't need to leave your couch to get into some serious gambling debt now-a-days. Today, gambling on sports goes hand-in-hand with watching it. You used to need to go to Vegas or Atlantic City...now you pull your phone out of your pocket. I'm not an anti-gambling guy. It only bothers me to see it now promoted like cigarettes used to be through the 70's. To people with a certain addictive make up, it's just as dangerous.
  5. I think it was the Cavs coach the other day that complained about the fans in the stands yelling at him to keep his starters on the court in a blow-out in order to cover the spread. The next government bail out will be for the soon-to-be millions of destitute gamblers.
  6. I hope none of the MAC transfers land in Akron. It’s a bad look.
  7. If the Zips had beaten Wisconsin, they could have lost to Duke by 70 and I'd still be able to die a happy man. Until then, my dream of the Zips making it to the round of 32 continues to be just that...
  8. Could you imagine Enrique leaving the Zips to play his final season for YSU? Lots of NIL money in Youngstown. The mob and NIL $$ are a match made in heaven.
  9. I’m glad Yale is getting killed so I can get to bed before midnight for the first time in a few days.
  10. If I were a college coach I'd quit the business and sell insurance.
  11. It will be, until UMass gets here. Worst case, their addition is like adding another "Akron" to the upper-tier MAC basketball mix.
  12. Garrison was Mc Neese’s regular kicker last season. 8-10 fig’s and 23-23 pats. Hit at least 1 50 yarder. McNeese was 1-10 last season.
  13. When Dambrot left the Zips, I and a few others said - It's easier to win the MAC than to finish in the Top 4 in the A-10. Looks like UMass figured it out. They will be the MAC favorite when they arrive. The road to Pittsburgh or wherever else the NCAA Round 1's are held in the future just got a lot more difficult for the legacy MAC schools. If Western Kentucky comes next, look out. Who will come to a Rocket Mortgage Field House MAC final to watch UMass vs. the Hilloppers? I bet even Hilltopper wouldn't go.
  14. Gandy Dancer Saloon in Station Square. Sounds like a strip club?
  15. Butler was in Cleveland State's conference for 20 years, through 2012. Creighton was in the Missouri Valley through 2013. They moved to the Big East. Garvin Clarke plays the five. I rest my case.
  16. If you believe the A-10 is a major basketball conference, Loyola Chicago just moved up last year.
  17. Good thing you weren't the AD at Butler or Creighton.
  18. No $50/ticket Cheat Geek fees either. Good for you, hairs of blue.
  19. An argument could be made that Oates was better. Maybe Hurley too?
  20. I got section 109. $145 per ticket after fees. Got a $27 parking pass too. 4 times I had tickets selected and at the very end of the transaction I got a “tickets no longer available “ message. Bastards. See you Thursday. Hope the blue hairs represent in the Primo seats!
  21. I watched Clyde Price inexplicably lay two balls on the turf to cost Zips football a couple wins two seasons ago, so I have no problem accepting an inexplicable basketball win. The Zips were overdue to catch a break! I was shocked when they gave Ali the offensive potg. Tribble eats and drinks for free wherever I go for life after draining those 2 free throws. If those were his only 2 points it was enough to give him offensive potg.
  22. I go with the immortal Brian Wood. I remember NBA long-timer Antonio Daniels (BGSU) draining a baseline three over Wood's extended arm to send us home.
