I think that's only the 3rd road win under Groce, so this was huge. That's what I wanted to see...a good road win. Will give them some confidence when they hit the road in the MAC.

Akron up by 15. LCJ has 17. X has 15. Cheese only took one shot. He may have picked up his second foul early.

Looks like French at our house as well

My friend's son plays football at Miami (Ohio), and he says the Coach is bipolar. Yelling and screaming and can change on a whim. And they won the MAC East. Dambrot was known to be quite a yeller as well.

I think there were a # of those types lingering around on the men's BB program. Some guys Groce HAD to keep and others were expendable. Groce only had to manage 9 players as opposed to 85!! When a basketball player goes missing, it's front and center but when a 2nd string OL loses his scholarship or becomes academically ineligible or fails a drug test, 99% of us don't even notice. Arth had to lay down the law, and I'm sure "make example" of some. That's mostly speculation on my part, but I'm sure there were some harsh choices with harsh results.

I heard some of this as well. The first meeting with Arth the room stank of marijuana and many were shabbily dressed. He wouldn't have it. I know we can't compare sports but it reminded me of something Jodi Kest said after she took over the women's basketball program. She said something like...I'm not going to let some 19 year olds push me around and run this program. I said this was a "rip off the band aid" situation but it might have been more like an emergency open heart surgery. And I agree that the university's problem was that they kept bad coaches for too long.

They had to rip off the band-aid. SC game paid for Bowdens departure.

Right. Looking for the players who can get the Zips to 3-9 not 9-3.

Depends on the type of bird, no? Fall Semester 2019: Regular Monday, August 26 - Sunday, December 8 Final Exam Monday, December 9 - Sunday, December 15

So how do we know or determine that the 4 or 5 guys that "jumped on board" this weekend are any good or will fill the voids. For example, are these guys the needed size for these positions? Woodbendy Guerrier, DB, 6-0, 195 Eric Scott, DB, 6-2, 200 Nazir Sy, DL, 6-3, 306 George Qualls, WR, 6-2, 190

A little birdie told me we're going to be a little deeper/better come December 15. Not sure I would believe a random poster myself, but I heard what I heard. Go Zips! And LCJ liked the post...the plot thickens.

In my confuse head, I see this as must-win. Zips need these type of road wins that were illusive last two years. The last road win I remember was first round against WMU in 2018.

They were type of team that could cause a big scare in 1st round of NCAA. Hard game to watch but Zips never trailed and kept it over 10 vast majority of game. Xeriyius is a E-Sports Commentator?

Their coach is like a Charlie Cole disciple. Calls time outs before the media timeout.. Slows game down. Disrupts the flow. This is a mess. Score board broken.

Refs calling everything now. This is like an Eastern Michigan game. Very frustrating to watch. Zips are cold. Reese has 4 fouls.

As expected, 'Mack is stepping up. Groce called good timeout. Mack is disrupting the flow. Cheese is the Man. Reece back in. Fresh legs. Then gets cheap foul

'Mack 0-13 from 3s. Only 2 foul shots both from Akron on "and ones." 'Mack still looks dangerous. Type of team that could get hot and make a late run.

How bad Riak is stands out with Reece and Williams on the team. Groce benched him after 3 negative possessions

Wonder if Groce scheduled Merrimack specifically because they play the 2-3 zone

(would be nice if for the holiday everyone could stop the pile on .) Today I'm thankful for the Transfer Portal and all the gifts it will bring Zips football in 2020!

Go Buckeyes!!

He's having a beer with Bob Dyer waiting for some bad UA news to write about.

I really like that Groce takes his team on the road to play tough teams and doesn't complain about it! I had to do it old school tonight with French and Dunn. #throwbacksunday

However, he's a nasty curmudgeon who only looks for the negative when it comes to U of A. He did a vicious hit piece on Groce a few years ago which will prove to be wrong. I got into an email back and forth with him, and he's arrogant and hateful. I've been happy with the ABJs recent coverage of UA, but I knew this was coming. I don't know why he has to continue to rip on the stadium. Nothing can be done about it now.
