Captain Kangaroo

I think that's the way G5 college football works now? We get to watch a guy like Bruno Dall develop for 1/2 his college career, then off he goes to a deep-pocketed P5 program. The difference is - when Lindor goes to the Mets, the Guardians get to restock their farm system with prospects. They get something in return. With the Zips, they get a couple stale sticks of Double Mint gum from the bottom of mom's purse and, if they're lucky, a $25 Dall jersey sale at the spring game.

“Right behind”, or just “behind”?

Pluto - MAC Tournament Pressure

Loving it!!😍

Do the Zips get to 80 before NIU hits 40?

I've been in the Akron area for over 40 years and never been there. Need to make a point of it. Wonder if this means Hardman's quest for an addition year was denied? Or, is it still up-in-the-air?

I'd think the 2003 BGSU (#23) vs. NIU (#12) football game, complete with ESPN Game Day, was probably the biggest MAC sports tilt of all time? Certainly the most-hyped.

I expect a Conner Groce sighting tomorrow. I'll settle for nothing less.

Steve Urkel would be a more believable pimp than me.

Probably 25 years ago my softball team played in Kent, and went to Ray’s Place for post game beers. One evening they held “Pimp and Ho Night”. Several guys in fur coats and fedoras with their over-make-upped girls in fishnet stockings vied for a cash prize. Those were different times…good ones tho’ 😀

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.
