I guess the question is "why not both?" Frankly, George Van Horn an Larry Williams were notorious for only courting the biggest of donors. However, they did have assistants, Brock Kline and Tim Faix, who did reach out to the smaller donors and developed relationships with them. Guthrie on down are imports, and you know they aren't going to be here long. On the other hand, Tim and Brock moved on as well. The Summit Circle and name recognition for larger donors is important, and they should be recognized for their commitment. Most of the Summit Circle members are successful Akron grads. Which leads to my next point: The focus should be more student outreach. Gets the students hooked now on Zips basketball. Of course, the basketball schedule falls smack in the middle of holidays and Winter break.

Watched the end of their game against the Chippewas. Four turnovers (ball stolen) in final four possessions. Two of those turnovers they had chance to tie or win. The last two they didn't care.

then you risk upsetting the ticket holders who paid for their seats, especially if you paid a lot for a single game ticket and then a bunch of folks surround you for free.

so looks like these are seats available for purchase on the bench side. That's a lot of blue. You add in the ticket holders who don't show up and that's even more blue.

It was on espn +. The replay is up now. Pinky majorly screwed up Broncos better without Norman. Addition by Subtraction.

Crazy day in MAC. Hocking Hills breathes sigh of relief. Ball State loses at home to Central? Can't get any lower than that. If u want a nice evening watch the replay on espn+ of Kent game. Off the hook

Officiating crew from H*^!. Game totally out of control. But impressed Zips stayed in it against that swarming defense. Ball State traveling fans easily most obnoxious I've encountered. Two loud mouth old men were a constant Greek Chorus, coaching, officiating, complaining. That 4 foul rule per period bit Zips badly as they had Ball game tied with 10 seconds left and cards went cheap foul every 2 seconds and Zips couldn't get a shot or FT

IDK. Seems like I was at a different game than everyone else. Blue Seats...I know someone who has 4 but now goes to Florida in January. It may be KD leaving but also many didn't re-appear after COVID.

From BG Message Board Re: No depth = getting run out of the gym Quote Post by guest44 » Sat Jan 06, 2024 7:37 am Let’s bring back Elsasser. Let’s go find football and baseball players who can play 15 minutes a game and make sure we don’t qualify for the MAC Tournament again this year. Let’s hope the league tries to do what Akron did. Have you watched many of them? Some don’t have 3 players who would play in Akron’s rotation let alone depth themselves. BG lost to the best team in the MAC and led for nearly 30 minutes. The most promising part is we looked like we belonged and on the road. The depth will come back from injuries and the end of the bench can play against the bottom of the MAC. Hard to believe that was the only Zips/Falcons match up this year. Will need that for tiebreak situation🤔

Groce said he thought it was odd to give a T to his "best player" at that point in the game and fouling out to boot. May be some tears from Groce when Tribble graduates. Seems like Ali was back to his old habit as well.

Tribble's been my favorite Zip since he first appeared on scene in 2010

All eyes on Ypsilanti tomorrow.

Wasn't a full house but the crowd was loud and into it. Best crowd so far.

Thoughts: @clarkwgriswold like the movie Pickup on South Street. 1. Before the game, the BG message board mentioned that the falcons weren't deep and would have trouble. Zips bench outscored theirs by 20. Hill was in for 39 minutes, after playing the OT game against EMU, so by those last 10 minutes he was tired, frustrated and was playing hero ball. 2. I was thinking to myself and telling everyone i could text if the Zips need to get it down to 5 or 6 by half. Nice shot by Johnson to end the half. Well played by Groce taking that time out and telling them just get that last shot...don't want to be down by 10. 3. Groce used another time out well in the 2nd half when Zips had the lead. 4. This wasn't a Huger BG team. They played like a team with a good coach, who has thrown a team together his first year.

I guess we will see who wants it more.

According to @clarkwgriswold, a grad assistant monitors the portal. FWIW.

I think the Buffalo fans are happier with their coach at this point. And I don't mean that sarcastically.

Tribble won't be leaving the starting 5.

zips losses are to team ranked above them. Three were without Ali? Zips are prepared for MAC season.

Must be a BGSU grad running the Mid Major Madness Twitter feed.

Maybe St. Bonaventure was a really good team.

I think the men at Over the Pylon would disagree with your calendar, Clark./

Post of the year!

Are you finished? Any other wisdom you wish to impart on us?

Bonnie's defense won that. Zips are tough.
