Zipmeister

Beating someone of significance is almost worthless. It is a nice notch in the belt, but winning championships is what counts.JD is steaming towards his 4th consecutive losing season. That is why there are no butts in the stands. It is as simple as that.Watch the basketball team this season. Now that they've actually won a championship, they will begin filling the JAR with regularity. Humpty made the "million dollar shot." If he missed, the Zips are back to the same old 3k attendance. Now there's NCAA expectations, Zeke, 20-wins, a cake-walk schedule to ensure a fast start...it all comes together this season.Look at the soccer team. Selling out matches?! Why? Because they are winning, and winning consistently over an extended time period. People want to be a part of it.Look at the Cleveland Indians - They sell out when things are rolling...and dodge the tumbleweeds blowing through Progressive Desert when they stink.Look at the Browns -- Sure they technically "sell out." But when you see them on TV at season's end, half the "attendees" are disguised as empty seats? And the other half are rooting for the opposing team.Sounds like you may be backing off that recent 7-5 prediction just a tad.

I think those of you who are bickering, and name calling are missing the most important point raised in this thread................................... Specifically, thatI am "beloved." I am truly behooved by your pimptastic observation B&G.

Same place as where I tailgate for football....computer center. They have a match the day of the Can't game, hope to see you there!Well I hope TBA turns into an announced time so I can plan my day. I heard that a few of the UOTSIP/RHIT shooters were being investigated for steroid use. Any updates on this?Well, who can blame the RHIT folks for needing to bulk up. I mean, they are RIDICULOUSLY smart Engineering students which means they might have a hard time even picking up a rifle. Outside of picking up the rifle, there really is no need to "Bulk up" as if you have proper form you utilize your frame to carry the load of your rifle. Actually, back in my day, the RHIT coach was always just missing the cut for the Olympic team. I think he got the program started and was a very modivated individual. I have always thought that competitive shooting would be a great sport for some of these smaller technical schools as the sport is 98% mental. I considered bringing this up to the folks at Kettering when I lived near Flint and was taking Graduate courses there. As for USP, I have no experience with their program but again, it sounds like a technical school.Speaking of which, I heard that at least two UA shooters have been placed on a high-carb diet hoping to bulk up enough so that their gravitational pull effects the opponent's aim. I mentioned this on the second match results thread, but someone erased it. I hope I didn't give away any secret strategy.

UAkid, I'm behooved that you have decided to remain with the team's mentality, but we also need you to help us worry about the future: climate change, inflation, trade deficits and such.

I partially agree with the Capt's 7-5 prediction. I believe they will play a total of 12 games.

I'm on the bus with ya Betch. But I'm not behooved by it yet. Check your dictionary!I am behooved by Z.I.P's comment.

About this time of the year, a few years ago, sophomore Turner Gill was forced into action because injuries had struck down the first and second string quarterbacks (if the first team quarterback had just been caught stealing from his teammates the similarities between Gill and Nicely's situation would be scary). Gill went on to lead the team to a 28 and 2 record over the remainder of his Nebraska career. Maybe that will happen here.

Where is the best tailgaiting location for home matches?

I think your analysis was very generous, but let's face facts; several team members (and they shall remain unnamed here) performed like they were a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. We are lucky spectators weren't injured some of the shots taken were so wild. The guys on the club baseball team would not put up with this kind of performance and this situation better get worked out soon or we may be looking for a new head rifle coach.

I understand the reluctance of some to embrace such an event, but these are just the kind of people who are likely to eventually get sucked into it.

I read this story at 9 this morning after Watcher suggested in this thread that we Google Euton's name. This suggests that the interview took place no later than yesterday which still gives him all of today to meet the EKU time line.

Just one of several reasons we should be careful in bringing up stuff about recruits before they're signed sealed and delivered. I've been around forums long enough to know some people just want to argue about every detail they don't already know, open-mouth-and-insert-foot because they DON'T have all the facts, or start a pissing match because we're reluctant to bring them up in the first place.Wow this kid would look good lined up with Zeke...I have known something about this kid for several months, but I can't tell you guys about it. It's the kind of thing we don't discuss outside the team.

I predict a 14 point win for the Zips.

Gee I don't know. Who was it who asked ???Next?you got me.

Who asked you a question? Oh wait, he's not pregnant is he?

R U saying we have to wait four months for your refusal to comment on three month old news next time?

He mentioned the facilities, the coach being a former NFL receivers coach, all the starting WR's graduating. Full ride and able to commute. Family can come watch easily. Not entirely true. Rewing a few months... It's still not an entirely done deal. But since it's being made public, that's different. There are things in the works that just can't be thrown out on a forum like this. In football and in other sports. I don't talk about that stuff outside the team.All right then. It's good to know we have you keeping an eye on the situation for us. We look forward to hearing that you can't tell us about any other three month old "news."

OK I give up. What did you have to bite your lip about until today? The fact that he committed to Akron back in July or something else?

when was Cristian fired? must have been during my away timeYou have got to pay attention. He was fired shortly after two of his players were arrested for armed robbery of a nationally chartered bank. In the shoot out that followed the robbery three FBI agents were wounded, and Jim joked that his players weren't any better at shooting Federal agents than they were at shooting free throws. As a result of his comments, the NCAA prohibited him from recruiting during the month of February.

Yeah because we would hate to have a Zydrunas Ilgauskas type of player with the zips. That would be a terrible thing. A 7-2 all star with a great mid range shooting ability but not very athletic. Even Kentucky would hate to have a guy like Z. If he stayed commited to kentucky, you would have seen other stuff on their boards now. Now that he isn't, why don't you all join me in prayers that Dakotah decides to become a zip.Yes, I vote we pray. Then if he doesn't come here we can blame God.

OK so apparently "Standing Tall After Defeat" gets a post deleted. How about "Sign Takes A Dive" - is that OK? Look another smiley face.

Word has it that the "ium" was removed intentionally to display the new football slogan acronym (Standing Tall After Defeat) prominently on the new stadium. I could be mistaken, however, about the words the acronym represents.

If we had 22 guys like him starting, we would have a hell of a football team. Of course half of them would have to play offense; otherwise that's a penalty for too many guys on the field.
