In the words of George Costanza Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

We have our best guy working on that right now. Feel free to add your own caption.

It's real easy......DON'T GRAB THE RIM! If he laid it in, or flushed it, then this is a moot point. There is nothing about dunking that requires one to grab the rim. In all of my years of dunking and playing basketball, never did I grab the rim in that manner. Never in all of my years have I even witnessed somebody swing like that, to that extent, for no reason whatsoever. Im a ref myself. And I call that a T every single time. He chose to grab the rim, which he had no reason doing and by nature, everything after that had nothing to do with safety.

How difficult is it to remain "Elite in the MAC"? I'll define "MAC Elite" as finishing in the Top 4 slots 4-out-of-every-5 years. There are so many downtrodden MAC programs that you really need to be completely inept not to do so. The MAC's regular season champ lost in Round #1 of the NIT. Our tourney champ lost in the NCAA round #1 for the umpteenth time. MAC basketball is at the level of the MVC... if you eliminated the MVC's top 3 programs. Buffalo's AD wants to be great. He fired a solid coach in Witherspoon to bring in Hurley. He fired his football coach in mid-season, after a bowl appearance in the previous season, because mediocre isn't good enough for him. If you look at Buffalo's sports gear, it touts "NEW YORK" in large font, and "Buffalo" in small font. Their AD isn't pandering to Syracuse by Tweeting #TeamNewYork, he's trying to BE TEAM NEW YORK. I admire that attitude. So while you're of the opinion that Buffalo is some flash-in-the-pan, I'll say that they are a legit threat to be an "Elite MAC Program." They already beat us annually in basketball and football, so if you consider the Zips "MAC Elite," Buffalo already meets or exceeds that lofty criteria.

I have learned that if you don't expect too much from gozips.com, you might not be let down. (Apologies to the Gin Blossoms.)
