  1. This was an exceptional gesture by Zips BB
  2. Zips sure have had quite the haul of Championships!!! We are a lucky alum and fan base, sure hope everyone appreciates it.
  3. Picked to finish last and now going to NCAA Tourny! Great job by the coach and these young ladies. GO ZIPS! *That Guthrie what a clown 😂 I jest!
  4. Duquesne hadn’t been since 1977 before KD took them last year. Incredible! We are definitely spoiled to be Zips MBB fans!
  5. Didn’t realize they had 8 seniors. How exciting for them! Will be interesting to see if coach can reload and if they retain the momentum. Lacrosse seems like a sport overall with a lot of excitement and momentum.
  6. So he lied to some coaches (other than football, but not all coaches), especially football (more frequent lying or more substantial lies)? He lied to Coach Moorehead specifically? Were these all the same lies? About what exactly, at least broad strokes or a ‘for example’? I’m just fascinated with the desire by some on this board to skewer Guthrie any chance they get with a level of harshness that seems to be only matched by below the belt insults (sack of garbage, clown etc) slung at PCCC which rightly deserves all of those taunts given the actual state of their program, especially football, and our complete domination of them in MBB. I’m not saying he walked on water, none of us do. But as someone who loathed the Larry Williams tenure I just can’t put my finger on the obsessive level of dislike for one and not the other if you’re comparing ADs using the same criteria. I’ve shared my opinion and it’s mine alone. I’m not in contact with the football staff but if he lied to them that’s obviously shitty. Seems out of character with what I know, but I’m not dialed in enough to know anything close to it all. Excited to turn my attention to what this thread was supposedly about, the new AD, and putting my support behind him and as always the program above all.
  7. I would argue Guthrie moved the football program to respectability. He was also the architect behind soccer getting in the Big East (despite many unsubstantiated claims he didn’t support soccer). And while baseball isn’t trending where I thought it would in wins under Faulds, he cared and brought in a coach who cares. Softball is trending well. Lacrosse just made their first ever tournament. Genuinely curious about what you think about Larry Williams and where he ranks on your AD scale if Guthrie ranks as a joke? In my opinion, and based on the majority of comments on this board - an incredibly small subset - it’s pretty far fetched to call his overall tenure at Akron or him as a human being (if you’re saying it’s both?) a joke. I guess reading between the lines, it’s primarily because of the Arby’s logo. Also, not sure ‘he bolted for Fordham’ is the accurate take on why he’s gone. The guy signed a 4-year extension in May of last year. Doesn’t seem like someone who had an intention of bolting. The facts are the facts. Hilltopper shared details previously and the reality is - Miller was ousted and a new President came in with his own vision. Happens all the time! ‘Bamboozled’ ‘Sack of garbage’ ’Joke’ Wow! Is it really just the logo bothering you? The guy ran a clean, well managed program with no scandals or issues like what you’re seeing seep out of the walls at our favorite joke of a program down the road. I think what is obvious as you hijack a thread about the new AD to slam Guthrie yet again is he must have really hurt your feelings at some point? Regardless, I’m excited to see what our new leader can do with what is a now very solid foundation left by Guthrie.
  8. What eligibility … that’s domino seems to be the next to fall!
  9. Lacrosse seems to have built some momentum under the ‘newish’ coach. I think she’s two seasons in based on the posts in this thread.
  10. It’s official now from APs account
