  1. LCJ making 3s in the background like they're layups! LOL.
  2. I think the Zips get challenged in this one but prevail in the end. Miami can go small and wreak some havoc. Zips have to stop them in transition. Final score 74-68 Zips.
  3. I've noticed a kid in the Beacon Journal boxes recently whose name might bring a smile to the faces of you "experienced" Zips fans. A point guard for the Buchtel Griffins named MARCEL BOYCE JR.! Class of '23, playing point guard with on a team with 5 star recruit Chris Livingston.
  4. I suspect that the plan for Livingston is going to one of the blue blood schools for a year then enter the draft.
  5. Yes, much worthwhile well reasoned intellectual debate followed by the inevitable reality on selection night that yet again only the tournament winner will get in. Let's hope that in this weird year with some many of the blue bloods struggling than the MAC has a chance. I'm not holding my breath.
  6. I'll give you the second half of that statement, that the Zips now have QB depth. I haven't yet seen anything from the guys on the roster however to show me that any of them is yet a viable winning D1 QB. Maybe in time but not yet.
  7. That's 6 losses in a row for BG. So much for the pre-season MAC champs.
  8. With the likely differences in games played and teams played, I'd suggest that they poll the coaches and seed the top 8 from that poll. As a safeguard, you eliminate the highest and lowest seedings from the vote to take out some coaches playing games with the system.
  9. Maybe they're waiting for tournament time! Then they can say the tournament can't be played and be declared MAC champs. There's a new Game 16- Miami thread.
  10. Funny thing is that they all get game notes from the team. That's why you hear the different away announcers say a lot of the same things about the Zips. One of those things is the Freeman story. They apparently missed the performance in front of them and the underlying story. Good thing I don't have ESPNU. As for the radio, I like the job Skoczen is doing.
  11. I have a novel idea- the best guy starts. Whoever runs the offense best in the pre-season starts the season at QB. I don't care whether it's a 12th year redshirt senior or an early entry freshman.
  12. Well, the OU game this Tuesday has gone down to Covid so we'll have to wait until Friday for the Miami game in Oxford. The Redhawks are coming off of a two game losing streak, falling to PCCC at Brimfield and Buffalo in Ontario. They are 8-7 overall and 5-5 in the MAC. They had actually started to come around before those losses having won 4 of 5 going into Streetsboro. 6'2" sophomore guard Dae Dae Grant leads the Fredmen at 13.7 ppg. 6'7" senior forward Dalonte Brown scores 12.2 ppg while leading the team in rebounds at 6.7 rpg. Their leading scorer from the last couple of seasons transferred to Pitt in the off-season.
  13. Looks like we get Ball State Friday at Ball State on the 19th as a replacement wild card game.
  14. I hate to say it but the quality level of the announcers is reflective of the respect given to the MAC on a national level. It's the same level of respect that results in a single bid to the tournament every year.
  15. I suspected that I was going to end up altering this thread when I typed it when I saw how the games were continuing to be bounced around. It's sure going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.
  16. The Zips head to Athens Tuesday night to face the surging Bobcats. OU has won three in a row and were to play EMU, who was replaced by BG, and then that game was also postponed. OU is led by MAC POY candidate Jason Preston who received all kinds of pre-season and early season attention documenting his journey from little used high school player to top notch D1 guard. He is averaging 16.4 ppg, 7.4 apg and 7.2 rpg. James Madison transfer Dwight Wilson averages 15.6 ppg and 7.6 rpg while second team pre-season All-MAC second teamer Ben VanderPlas averages 12.8 ppg and 5.5 ppg. The Zips ripped the Bobcats 90-70 at the JAR on December 22nd with Trimble and Jackson combining for 43.
  17. Fewer minutes again tonight, down to 13. Dawson and Wynn are taking those minutes. They're dwindling- minutes in his last 6 games- 25, 22, 24, 19, 18, 13.
  18. Beating Brimfield never gets old. Damn, that was too suspenseful down the stretch.
