Should have known it would be Marla that wrote it. She does great work when she writes Zips stories.

Yeah, that's dumb. I got the Arby's one and it was for a free sandwich. I just incorrectly assumed panera was the same. I was wrong.

so "bookstore" is what you old folks were calling it in those days?

Sorry K92, I bypassed it as people get their panties in a bunch every time I state my feelings about the state of our football program. I've been doing my best to avoid the football section entirely, successfully I may add, since I had my fanhood questioned for stating an opinion I feel the general public would agree with.

I agree there has been way more positive than negative, especially after the great start to the MAC season. I'd say there has been more than 5+ negative people over the course of the regular season, but that is neither here nor there. A lot of times your most cynical people are also your most vocal.

Personally, I like those Arby's and Panera Bread coupons that they dropped from the rafters. It actually gets fans on their feet. I get no chain is going to agree to commit to giving those out for all 15 home games, but it would be nice to line up more of those type of deals in the future. Some possibilities that come to mind are Chipotle, Pita Pit, or Taco Bell.

Yeah, I'm not looking to start a witch hunt. Some people have stepped off the early season ledge and have joined the bandwagon (glad to have you). Others are still bitching about not winning games by enough points and count the Zips out in deficits as little as 4 points. Those are the ones my link was more directed towards. On the flip side we've have a lot of positive people even after the YSU loss so it works both ways.

I just feel in general we need to build a solid lead 1 of these games so that way guys like Hughes can get some run. I can't imagine endurance is the problem as Poke only played 5 or 6 minutes last night himself. I just feel Hughes missed a large chunk of time and hasn't gotten the opportunity to shake off the rust. When you're down 10 with 10 minutes left, that's not the time you want your players trying to find themselves. You want the guys that you feel best help you at that moment.

I won't call out names specifically, but I will post some comments that can be found in various threads throughout the season. All 3 of these were posted by different people. It took me all of maybe 2 minutes to find them. If I took the time to go through other game threads, I could easily found more.

I don't know whether or not anyone had them going 12-1, but I distinctly remember several people saying this would be one of Dambrot's worst teams ever and no way we get to 21 wins. Hell we still have people that act like a 4 point halftime deficit is an insurmountable deficit. Its like have you not watched this team all season? Winning nail biters is what we do.

Besides Noah's shots not falling, I felt he played decent. In the last 2 games he has combined for 11 assists to go with 1 turnover. Last night he held Toledo's leading scorer to 4/16 from the field.

Edit: what skipzip and uazippers said.

Time to finish this one out. Not over yet. Feed it to the closer (Big Dog).

Playing great D. Just need to settle down on offense and run some plays. We're trying to force things.

Missing a lot of shots near the rim. Need to get those to fall to pull this one out.

I'm expecting big 2nd half from Big Dog and Akron win.

You can checkmark Big Dog's Titanic buzzer beater from the list.

Not sold out

The new arena is a want by both the city and the University, not a need and will be treated as such. The city has buildings and other stuff in need of dire repair as Balsy pointed out. The University has a $20M budget deficit to resolve while also fixing a shrinking enrollment. I'm in agreement with Skip that the near 9 figure arena won't happen. There is just no way either side could come close to breaking even on it and in the era of scrutinized tuition costs I'm not sure the University can afford the scrutiny of jacking up student fees that much more. I'd hope for something a tad nicer than Bowling Green like the Jack Stephens Center which was also budget friendly.

Is that you, dad?!!!

.... Edit:

The magic number is 2. We can clinch a share tonight if we win tonight and both Ohio & Buffalo lose.
