Your jokes are really cheesy try harder

Great work, Doc. Thank you for sharing your effort, skill & passion! Go Zips!!

God Clark, I too got sucked into the $5 grab bag and ....voila!....a Matt Head! But did get a nice warm-up pants, zip up warm-up top for a nice price, and more.... I thought the crowd was pretty nice, and they were into things. Nice to have some of the band on hand too. I thought Kato looked more calm than expected...maybe s little more mature. We'll see when the real action happens. Lack of personnel led to a fun look at Bubba Arlasnian running the ball! A 49 yard field goal! Kwads showed his winter muscle pull has no ill effects. A little chippiness out there as well! Defense definitely ahead of offense. Wolfley looked strong. Cooper carried a ton.Could not find a single Zippy cookie on level 7. George Thomas was actually here in person!. Our favorite female referee (remember Arkansas State?) comically had the clock operator add 6 seconds TWICE in the final minutes of the first half....IT'S A SPRING GAME! Running clock in second half....JoJo Natson was on hand too! A few Alums made it.

Balsy...don't know if you did the same, but I - we- all played sandlot versions of "the game" because I wasn't good enough to make the teams. So the varsity games were a step up for me, to see the kids that were better than me play at a level I couldn't. I think your post mentioning the black-mirror, and the fact kids now can become "great" in a video setting, and that high school varsity sports can't hold a candle to the video gymnastics of the on-line game makes it boring for them to go live. Had a few Fat Tires after the Spring Game so maybe I didn't make sense here....

People are oversaturated with things to do nowadays. The sports world may need to find a way to revolutionize the game-day experience. I like what @ZipsVoice said that it's appalling that students don't go to the rivalry game, of all games. I personally wonder if the over-saturation and easy accessibility of it all with a black-mirror (cellphone reference) in your hand that getting excited about the "big-game" isn't as exciting anymore.

Then he'd be blue cheese.

I hope you’re wrong and hopefully interest will pick up after today..... Blue or Gold....Zips WIIIIIIINNNNN!!!!!!

If Tyler sits on the bench for too long he might get moldy.

Colby or Provolone? I'd be shocked if Mozzarella or Gouda were better than DII.

I hope he gets to shoot technicals so that Frenchy can say "the Cheese stands alone...

If he has character issues and gets moved along like Cotton, will Groce be accused of cutting the Cheese?

Even OHSAA is seeing a decline in attendance for all sports. http://www.cantonrep.com/sports/20180416/canton-still-waiting-on-status-of-2018-high-school-football-state-finals “The overall trend — not just in high school sports, but in college and pro sports — is the number of people buying tickets is going down,” said Stried, who said Ohio’s attendance numbers are still among the best in the country. “I don’t think there’s just one reason for that. It’s a combination of several factors and we’re trying to identify things that we can do to help attendance. It’s still up to the consumer about where to go out that night, but we’re asking ourselves, ‘What are the things we can do to make it easier for them?’” Digging deeper, there are two really troubling trends from the OHSAA’s perspective. One, high school attendance in central Ohio is down in every sport, not just football. This is a bad sign considering it’s also the part of Ohio that is growing the most. (In general, northeast Ohio and southwest Ohio typically draw the largest crowds, Stried said.) The second troubling trend is that student sections are getting smaller. “There are exceptions — like (Cincinnati) Moeller at this year’s state basketball tournament — but overall, it’s kind of a trend that mirrors the overall attendance,” Stried said. The 2017 state cross country tournament actually posted the second-highest attendance in history at 12,054, but the OHSAA’s two biggest revenue sources are ticket sales from football and boys basketball — and both are trending down.
