clarkwgriswold Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 The Zips welcome old friend Jeff Boals and his 15-14 squad into the JAR Tuesday nght. The kittens are fresh off of solid home wins against Canada and Brimfield A & T after losing to BG by a point. Boals and his staff appear to be making progress in Athens. 6'4 sophomore guard Jason Preston leads the team at 16.3 ppg. 6'8' sophomore forward Ben Vander Plas scores 15.5 ppg while leading the team at 6.8 rpg. SVSM grad freshmen guard Lunden McDay continues a fine freshman season for the Kittens. They are 7th in the MAC on offense and 5th in defense. The Zips squeaked by the kittens 88-86 at Athens on January 25th behind 35 from LCJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 This has trap game written all over it. Sandwiched between a big road win and our season finale against our main rival. Ohio has been playing some good basketball of late. Not a team that we want to take lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been worried about this game. I was worried about Buffalo and OU after the BG. Apparently, by Buffalo concerns were unwarranted, so who knows about this one! From what I've seen this season of the kittens, Boals has brought them a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read Kitten Attack, they think we at ZipsNation are crazy and bipolar. I took a blow to the head from the T-Shirt cannon. I don't know what the excuse is for the rest of you.

MDZip Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Things I like about Ohio U. Jeff Boals (wish he would have stayed at Stony Brook so I could continue rooting for him wholeheartedly) Beautiful campus including a building that was named after my great uncle who was president there in the 40s. Fantastic rivarly we have developed with them over the years. Passionate fan base which helps the MAC and our rivalry I respect they feel the O-H-I-O was stolen from them by Ohio State and the Bobcat "voiced" the disrespect by tackling Brutus during a football game Things I don't like about Ohio U. They are still Ohio U ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply wish that school didn't exist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) We also want to steal Ohio's land. If you've never seen it there's a Reddit topic where they assign every county in the country to a college basketball team after you win and claim all the land that the team you beat currently has. It all starts with the counties that are closest to you at the beginning of the season. For some reason Ohio has a bunch of them right now including in southern California, Texas, New Jersey and Buffalo, NY. Take their land!

LoyalZIP Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 That Miami game in 2017 (KD's last at the JAR) still haunts me. Played well most of the way then got comfortable, Kwan fouled out very early on senior day, and the worst team in the MAC humiliated us. I think this group is less susceptible to something like that happening, but still something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Remember when O-Who was good, and we'd have to suffer through listening to their "O (clap clap clap clap clap clap) H (clap clap clap clap clap clap) I (clap clap clap clap clap clap) O (clap clap clap clap clap clap)" chant over and over and over again? Me too. Then their coach left and now he's ours and their entire fan base is in meltdown mode over it. It's wonderful. I'm expecting a big game from Cheese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Aaaaaaah, remember Bubba Walther? Left UA for OU and played on worse teams than he would have played on at UA. As I recall, he saw Nick Dials coming and bailed rather than man up and compete.

Transfers being denied, saying a player has "something mentally wrong with him", and teammates going on record to throw a player under the bus just isn't something you see today.

Pretty rare that a guy bails under those circumstances, inter-conference no less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
