Yes, this. Most of my worries with Groce leaving, and Evan and Sharron was not having that link to the previous groups. Like I feel it's been passed down from LCJ to Ali Ali, X, Enrique etc to Tavari and Sharron and then.. who's the "leader" this year? I think Evan playing this year answers that question. Not so worried about talent in and out in the portal day and age but leadership and culture is very important, imo.

Tf is that?

Once we beat Wake and Minnesota we'll be favored in all of them

Maybe. But whoever opposed it was obviously outnumbered

Whys it perplexing? Because a couple random Internet strangers said a couple anonymous coaches didn't like it?

The only hype was because of the Euro mystique. No one would have cared about that dude if he was from alliance

whatever

We act like this is the masters. It'll be okay

Double bye is good imo

that's an even worse idea

Let me break this down for you. We are very clearly a tier or two or three above csu and ysu. We're all fighting for scraps when it comes to support and fanbase after the big dogs like OSU, and maybe competing for some recruits here or there though I'd like to think we're recruiting a different tier than them as well. Playing them home and home legitimatizes them in the eyes of the local crowd and puts us a little more on the same tier in their eyes. Not to mention if we happen to lose once or twice. It's just not worth that, there's more to lose than gain by scheduling away games there

3 home MAC losses? When was the last time that happened?

$3.7M in non program specific facility debt/lease payments

Hard pass

Same, if they'd play at the JAR each year

You're better off finding the audit report vs this AUP because they very well may just deem the stadium an academic facility since there are classrooms and you can't tell without the whole picture here

Any rumors on a holiday tournament?

Is it me or if our football team could win, we'd kinda dominate the MAC in just about everything? Baseball too but we can't be perfect

Go Zips!

I thought he was gonna end up at Duke from what I was reading on here

Yeah, academic year 26 isn't over until 6/30 so there wouldn't be any reporting on that yet

I won't stand for TJ slander

Illini Zip graciously updates this for us in his spare time, but he doesn't owe any of us anything

Looks like the batch of perm headed kids I coach in middle school baseball are making their way into college now..
