  1. An argument could be made that Oates was better. Maybe Hurley too?
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Tremendous overcoming of adversity by the Zips. I had an absolute blast tonight. Can’t wait until tomorrow night. The key to the game is - Enrique getting any help. If we get multiple offensive contributors we’re dancing next week. Foul call #3 on Ali merits an investigation. If never seen a more egregious whistle in my life. F Kent!
  6. To be fair, he did hit the rim on a couple. Great in warm ups…hit 7 of 11 against Heidelberg…but other than that it’s been a maddening season for him.
  7. The G.O.A.T. and 4 intramural guys. That’s what we’ve looked like for far too long.
  8. A combined 7-55. Whoa nellie. How is it possible?
  9. Going back a ways...Eric McLaughlin had a tremendous freshman season. I think Robotham did well in his Freshman season too.
  10. Nice redemptive season for KD. They’ve played really well since Grant returned. Next game will be a lot tougher for them.
  11. Isn't he a Junior? I think at this point, he is what he is.
  12. He leaves his feet too willingly to block shots. I think some teams are on to it. Groce also needs to spell him at the right times. Last game he had one personal foul with about 30 seconds remaining in the first half, and Groce didn't sub him out. He immediately got his second foul. And, if I recall correctly, almost got a 3rd foul (offensive) before the buzzer.
  13. The Zips Aren't Exactly Fighting a Fair Fight - Link and Alternate View
  14. Bought my Thursday ticket using the ARIZZOMAC2024 code. $19 after taxes for the cheapest one, which is fine because I can sit anywhere I'd like. Not a bad deal to watch 4 D1 tournament basketball games. Parking voucher is available for $16 (after taxes). I got one of them too (garage on Huron). No bad for downtown parking . The UMass folks will love our affordable tournament. 🙂
  15. When we played them the first time at the JAR, despite our relatively comfortable win, the Bobcats played extremely hard, and with the swagger that you've come to expect from OU's teams over the years. Boals clearly had not "lost the team"...they were just in the midst of figuring things out after some injuries. They play tough, and confident. If we bring a milquetoast effort, they'll beat us in Cleveland despite their marginal talent. No Zips guard is playing heavy minutes. There's no excuse for not giving maximum effort. If anyone is pouting over lack of playing time, they only need to look in the mirror. The 30 min/game starting guard positions have been open since November, and no one has taken advantage.
  16. I will add one additional comment - Zach was never banned, and to my recollection never received so much as a warning. Subject closed.
  17. It is impressive that you know so much about former members who exited the board so long ago. Sorry your friends ignored multiple warnings and still felt it was their right to trash the site that I helped create and fund. You say a banned member “disagreed” with something. When I wake up in the morning and review the board and see someone has left a profane string of all caps posts cyber bullying a woman, I delete them and issue a warning to stop. If that person doesn’t stop, they get banned. Technically they disagreed. But they did so in manner that is pathetic and inexcusable. The poster that gets liquored up and wants to fight doesn’t have a place on ZipsNation. Sorry. The lonely, self-important loser who feels I’m paying the money to run this site so they can bore members to death with incessant political posts doesn’t have a place on this site. Regardless of how interesting they feel they are. Your choice of “Che Guevara’s” is telling. Some of the worst people ever to stumble across this site. I enjoy the tone of today’s ZipsNation, the active members, the tremendous information and the respect everyone has for one another. If you don’t like it, I’ll give you your money back. Leave.
  18. You only need one of those tiny airplane bottles.
  19. We're 6-6 over our past 12 games. We've pretty much lost every "measuring stick" game this season. We are strongly heading in the wrong direction, at the wrong time. We started the season as the MAC favorites. Now we're relegated to a puncher's chance in Cleveland...if a couple of our guards decide to play as hard as the WMU guards competed in the second half last night. And we really haven't had any bad luck...were just Freeman at center, with a mediocre assembly of talent milling about him. I've never seen a team shoot as poorly as this one. When Freeman exits the game, we are a complete sh!tshow. We'd need to improve exponentially just to reach the level of "sieve" on the defensive side of the ball. That's just the way it is. See you Thursday night.
  20. Certainly not overconfident with this team. We’ve stunk for a month heading into Cleveland. Enrique is solid, but his style can’t carry the team. He can’t put up 35 on a given night to make up for the continual offensive ineptitude. Where would we be without Tribble’s emergence? Dawson has been awful. Thornton has been awful. Scott has been awful. On his best day, Hunter has been “ok”. More often than not he’s been invisible. He can’t defend. Nate Johnson hasn’t been impactful since December. His return from injury has netted zero positive impact on the Zips. Tavari hits a few 3’s, then immediately negates it with some blunder. This is Big Boy Basketball, and just being nice, lovable scalawags isn’t enough. Freeman, Ali and Tribble can only carry this crew so far. We could still take it all in Cleveland, just as easily as Freeman can get the typical 18/12 double-double and no help…and immediately head off to the G-League while the Zips try to figure out how to rebuild. Wake up, or go home Zips.
