Well, maybe not a miracle. But that sure improves my weekend. -

Good. Because I'm not watching. If a miracle occurs I can watch rerun. Kudos to the brave few who travelled to Canada. -
I'm still tuned out in that I don't expect anything. Our last memories are freshest and those aren't good at the moment. I trust that the coaching staff has a plan. We've been in these late season slumps before and come out just fine. This one just came as a sneak attack and left us reeling. I don't expect a win tonight but I hope whatever the outcome it can prepare us for CLE.

If we win 2 of our last 3 we are MAC regular season champs. If we only win one of those, would need Ohio to lose a game. At this point, we are guaranteed one of the top 4 seeds in Cleveland. Of course, it can get a little tricky at that point. Occasionally, a 3 seed is better than a 1 seed depending on who is on what side of the draw. -

I would like to Zeke out front guarding Cooper. -

Strike all of that I just posted. Losing 3 or 4 in the row isn't that rare for us. And we've gone on to win the tourney after in one of those years. -
Big game! Will the Zips continue their thermal nuclear meltdown? Are the Bulls over their shock from losing at home to PCCC? Will Dambrot and team shake-up the line up? Will wives, children, and pets be taking cover from flying remote controls and iPhones around 10pm tomorrow night? These questions and many others will be answered in the next episode of Zips basketball. What are your thoughts? Personally, I think the Zips aren't ready to shake off what ails them. But the only way is up! right?

I think the thread will be "The Airing of the Grievances: The Myth of Zips Basketball."
-
The officials seemed to be letting a lot go during that game and the of course save it all up in order to affect the outcome. The last week has been beyond frustrating for fans. Can't imagine how coaching staff must feel.
-
If you give up your season tickets, you will lose your ZFund priority ranking and your front row seats for the Mac Championship! Speaking of that...Ticket office has perfect timing and called today about purchasing tickets for the Q. I responded, " let me get back to you on that." (Of course, I will cave in and go)

"Stalled" was poor choice. Definitely hit a ceiling!!! And we are all on here because we care...Negative or Positive. And I'm sure all of us could do a real rant if given the opportunity. Maybe after the Buffalo game we can have a thread entitled, "Tell us how you really feel?"
-
We do expect a lot. And rightly so. If we are on this blog, we are invested in this team's success. And while we can't psycho-analyze the players and their motivation, we all certainly see a pattern of stalled success. With football, we expect little but with Dambrot we expect some results or we might as well be a team like BG who has empty stands and can get really excited about beating the MAC leader. But as soon as I write this I think of the dark Hipsher years and how far we've come. Conundrum.
-
If I missed an earlier post apologize, was Josh in last night? What I saw at the end was Kwan yelling at everyone and a lot of indifference from Big Dog and "too cool for school" Noah. I would like to see a Hoosiers move and the coach bench all of them at Buffalo.
-
Started this thread to give all of us a place to vent our feelings on the state of the season and Zips basketball. Be negative. Be positive. Be angry. Believe or don't believe. I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst and want to see the Zips can get some joy back in their game.

I was just saying that at home tonight. Would be nice if he lost even 20#? And whoever mentioned having Poke in there at the end. Brilliant. Anything would have been better than throwing it in to the guy who can't jump and has four guys standing around him. But I qualify it with...I'm not the coach nor would you want me to be. And as for this Friday, I think we are looking at a 20+ loss up there. Once the second half of Kent occurred, the rest of the season became quite predictable. Hope to get that home win against Miami but don't expect that to be an easy one either. These guys seem really down and angry with each other.
-
This is just venting: There's a lot to say and nothing to say. I'm as loyal as they come, but I tuned out of the season in the 2nd half of the Kent game. I tuned out on this season being anything as special as we were made to believe it would be. Frankly, a nice, relaxing 12-12 season with a late season surge would be really nice about now or any year instead of this constant melodrama. Hell, even when our players are healthy and aren't on suspension this crap still happens. I can't explain it. (Coming here for some misery loving company) This just seems to be the pattern year after year after year. We have these great starts or mid-season peeks and then everyone figures us out. Does it really matter what seed we get? I'm thinking it might be better for them to have a first round game at home and maybe shake off whatever is going on here. I was just astonished by the sloppiness. It reminded me of those Kitten games when they would one possession after another just strip the ball out of our players hands. Always hopeful and would love to be cruising along right now but not having any expectations going into the tournament is a bit of a relief.

Once again, Novus Clinic to the rescue. Way to kill the crowd

Finally. She resurfaces.

Just happy to have the video. It keeps on giving. The crazy Kent woman praying, the crying Kent cheerleader, the Kent player on the floor, Darryl Roberts and his mom. One of the greatest nights or McKnights. (Don't forget Brett's clutxh free throws for us to overtime...I think). Geno and Kent had a great run in the NIT that year. Then he dumped his players and is now an asst coach in Long Island. Karma.

Spoke to Josh at the Q. If you want seats in like lower 106 or 111, it's $200 per person and you get same seats for all 7 games. That's about $28per game or $66 per Zips game. Of course if the unthinkable occurs you will be out $$$ unless you want to watch those other teams. Tough call.

NEVER GETS OLD!

It's incredibly elitist and pisses me off each year.
-
thank you for this. the Zfund "priority system" often leaves some of the most loyal season/blue seat tickets holders in a spot of bother when we open our envelope at the Q and see we are once again relegated to nose bleeds. Always looking for other options.
-
I forgot we beat them twice last year which perpetuated the myth that it's "hard" to beat a team 3x in one season.
