The RubberDucks do it with small budget and a lot of unpaid interns. It doesn't take a lot of money to be creative. It does take money to implement that creativity, though.

Because that's not how it was when they grew up so it must be wrong

Zips win today 11-3 to win the series and start the season 2-1.

The better question is why anyone cares what shoes the players do or don't wear?

Kwan has really struggled shooting the ball this year - seems like since MAC play started. Sophomore slump to say the least. Yes, Pat leads the MAC in FG %age but it seems that the last 4-5 games he's missing more bunnies. Without looking, I would guess that he is under his season %age over the last 5 games. It is hard to place the blame on one player for a team that uses 11 and scores 75. Forget about who shot what from the field, let's talk about the team defense. They've given up 72+ points 3 of the last 4 games.

Lady Zips comming out to play! I have for faith in the LZips than I do in the boys...and the Boy's aren't half bad either.

Upset fans responded here I'm releasing a new shirt this spring.

I'm surprised TW hasn't set up a promotional night to celebrate #TeamOhio's national championship

So Brad Swanson, a "young guy" had the leeway and money to come up with social media night, bobblehead giveaways, replica championship rings, etc, but we just lock the new guy in an office with nothing but a pen and a pad of paper huh? BS. The marketing department at UA needs to be innovative and creative just like those for minor league teams. Unfortunately, that's what MAC teams are. Pick a current event. Do something goofy with it. The Rubber Ducks made NATIONAL news for the Brian Williams thing. How much did it cost? A news release, some social media posts, a pair of pants, and a little $$ to pay a guy by the same name to read stories. This is not difficult. Apologies for changing the direction of the thread, but this is (or should be) a very important focus of athletics and falls directly under the scope of our AD. Use social media, be witty and creative. How much money did social media night cost? Team jerseys, and some banners. And they ended up making a bunch on selling replicas.
