Skip for once I must agree with you! I thought the same thing.

On Bobcat Attack they said Kato was injured on the final play so we would probably lose to Kent. I listened on the way home to Joe Dunn interview Kato. Sounded to me like he was ready for Kent.

Just got home from game 11:20P.M.!! Sitting/Standing through that game was surreal. When there are only a few people standing around you at the end of the game, you sure do form a bond with them. 1. Probably the biggest win I ever remember attending at Infocision. 2. All Hail Kato Nelson 3. I never saw a QB who could fake a hand off better than Rourke 4. Beating Ohio U in football is almost as sweet as beating them in basketball. I can't wait to troll their message board. Their basketball fans are the biggest $%^& in the conference. I can't imagine what's going on with their football fans tonight. 5. As for Woodson, I just feel sad for him. I don't know what happened but how could whatever it was be worth it. We have players breaking their legs in games, and he can't see past himself. 6. Still not a Bowden fan. Geez, he has had the luck this year. 7. This game was a complete and total surprise. I did not see this coming. 8. And the event staff...please lighten up and get over yourselves...and let the 3500 of us who attend enjoy the game.

Is there a penalty that hasn't been called on us?

Feels like the Zips are running out of steam...

Tommy needs to be run off campus. But I blame the coaching staff. No discipline.

Funny Skip how you know what all our "mental processes" are and what we are "really thinking?" Did you get a Psychology degree from Portage County Community College? We all want the same thing. And we all aren't going to be monolithic in our feelings about the prior coach or the new one.

As an animal lover I hate to use this phrase but this horse has been beaten to death. And, yes, I was complicit in the murder.

Traitor is probably a strong word, but he left at a good time for himself and probably the program as well. Maybe I can speak for a few on here and say that the 20+ wins didn't mean that much when many of the opponents were pretty lame. What would really hurt is if we started to have first round exits from the MAC tourney.

Someone wrote on here awhile back that they thought our prior coach recruited for "the position" and Groce recruited for "the team.". That's likely too simplistic, of course. But I think I read somewhere that the players who stayed were allowed to have input on whether a recruit would fit in with the program. Whoever said Ivey may need to shake off last year's demons is probably on the right track. It always seemed like he wasn't happy fighting for time with Noah and Antino, etc.

Sayles and Duvivier or Michael Hughes and Dunn-Martin? I know what my choice would be.

Really appreciate all the analysis. For me, it was like a fresh start. I didn't have the expectations and angst that came with the last few seasons. Even when these guys were looking down and out there wasn't any panic, jawing, whining, finger-pointing. There were some crazy 3s and a few turnovers that everyone in the gym saw coming and a few questionable plays (Jimond in final minutes shooting a 3 early in the clock when we were up by 10 or so). But Groce and his staff seem to handle it well. He called that long time out at the end and settled everyone down.

Such a different team and atmosphere. I was most impressed by their composure. They wore CSU down. Sayles and Parrish really stuck out to me as contributors. Fun, drama-free game. No walking it up the floor this year!

Wow. Lighten up.

But we control our own destiny? Right?

I guess we are having those so-called "First World" Problems.

Thank you for posting pics of your ticket book because that's the only way I will apparently ever see one since ours were never sent. Our on the ball ticket office didnt like have a check list of whose were sent. But they will be happy to print out some tickets and leave them at will call. What about the parking pass? "Crickets."

It's still early folks. Anything can happen. Right?

Same.here.

Cotton and Kostelac. (Although this is like throwing darts while blindfolded)

Nope

What led you to that conclusion?

Thanks for the reminder. Something to watch tonight...

Thank you. I needed someone to step in and crush all my high expectations and remind me how horrible it all is.

OMG...do you have to pick apart everyone's posts and "correct" them in order for you to make the same point over and over again. Yes...you think last season was very successful. I disagree. Very successful TO ME (not you) would mean a NCAA bid and not a blow out loss to UT Arlington in the NIT. Now I will wait for you to tell me how wrong I am
