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

I was at game and it occurred right I'm front of my section, and while there was a definite hit to the head it certainly didn't look intentional. I have game on DVR and will need to watch a replay.

We did? I guess when we don't win 20 games this year you will remind us again.

I recall hearing about a secret scrimmage from last year against Michigan that supposedly foretold greatness. Then the Zips promptly lost to YSU.
