Snowmageddon this weekend? Could impact travel.

A jury acquitted the Kent State player. Why it's important to not pre-judge these things

Huge black mark? Like when the star point guard is a drug dealer? These guys are adults not two little leaugers.

Were you there? There is limited information available. Transferring fault to the coaching staff from what we know is a stretch.

watched the replay at home of the last few minutes. Basketball gods on the Zips side. That missed lay up with5.1 was a bunny only a Zip could miss

Lucky! Finally.

Maybe there is more to story than what was in ABJ.

For a half at least. No KLac in the house

EMU is also the team who scored only 4 points in a half earlier this season

We really need a win if only so we get the 4 paragraph post mortems we are reading on the NIU thread

It's going to get awfully cold in Buffalo next year without Massinburg, Harris, and Perkins. And Mrs. Oats may be looking for a warmer climate.

If they win the National Championship, they can get the same food at the White House.

And one guy awaiting the resolution nof his assault case

Hmm. He took over mid April. What top HS players was he going to find for last season?

Exactly. Hurley left a pot of gold for Oats. KD didn't do the same. Huger at BG is working through the growing pains and appears to be turning a corner this year.

I don't think NIU has ever made it past the quarterfinals of the MAC tourney. And usually they flame out in the first round. Same will happen this year

Hmm. I thought it was all about the "Z"?

The Zips have been spotty 3 point shooting for years. There were some marksmen along the way that could blow up a game but then they would go dry for a few games: Jake and Reggie for example. Noah and Antino were inconsistent as well. Abreu was one of the best. Also, Roberts and McNees were a killer combo. But after those guys it's been a struggle for Zips. I've seen Tyler Cheese show a beautiful 3 point shot but it's only been on occasion. These guys aren't all of a sudden going to be consistent killers from 3 like DJ Cooper.

They do?

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the 'game?"

Fair enough apart from the "race card" angle. The immigration card will have a lot more impact on the prosecutors and judge. As for team, and I'm not trying to bring up the KD issues: there wasn't much left when Groce started. Groce made a tough call with Cotton and Parrish. And end of this year, he will make some more tough calls. Ive been watching BGSU under Huger. They lost first round last year of tourney (I think at home) then there were some major departures from their team. (The year before wasn't good for them either.) I thought to myself...wow, the players are bailing on that program. But this year they are 3-0. I'm frustrated like everyone else but we had walk ons playing serious minutes end of the last year. I will give him another year. ( Mighty generous of this insomniac, no?)

Who said anyone consulted the Defendant on charges? Did you read my post? I said a homicide charge can sometimes be filed later under certain conditions. Ohio has Marcy's Law so there is an absolute requirement victim be consulted. I don't want to argue with you about this. Awful situation for Mark, the team, and a young man who threw everything away out of pride and anger. I think the felony v. Misdemeanor decision has more to do with immigration issues than it does with the injury. And as for Groce losing the team: so Toledo, Kent, Ohio, Ball State, and WMU coaches have also lost their teams? Because those teams have laid some huge eggs these last few weeks as well. MAC is a brush fire so far. Think they all know there's no hope of winning the MAC tourney.

1. You are correct regarding when jeopardy attaches in a trial situation. However, if there's a plea to assault arising out of this incident, prosecutor is then prohibited from taking case to grand jury. Only exception would be if victim were to die from injuries at a later date. Then prosecutor at time of plea would still need to reserve right to file murder charges at a later point. 2. The city could dismiss the assault charge and send it to the county prosecutor but would need to be done before any plea on the assault. One would think the victim and the UAPD police discussed what charge to file considering it's been 3 weeks. 3. Seems like you just want a felony charge so you have more ammunition to tirade about. 4. Further, I'm not saying it shouldn't be a felony. Don't know all the facts or the extenuating circumstances.

Can't wait!!

Reminds me of the utter collapse of the team after the OT loss at Ball State last year.
