And Elton Alexander takes Buffalo in the East and Ball State in the West. He takes the Zips for fifth (ahead of Miami and UMass). Could be a wide open year this year. Can the Zips pull a Miami worst to first? I don't think anyone in the East is going undefeated and we might have actually caught a break in not drawing the Bulls. 35 hours to go to start to find out.

Maybe I needed to be a little clearer. All I was looking for was a way to get as close to the Akron section as possible if I didn't end up getting them through the ticket office (since I am not absolutely sure I am going to be able to go yet). Does anyone already have theirs through the UA ticket office and know what the section number is?

Did anyone ever determine what actual section Zips fans will be sitting in for the Michigan game?

Proenza is a big part of the reason I started to pay attention to UA again after I graduated and never thought about UA again for at least 15 years. He acted like it was an actual university and put money and emphasis behind it to back it up. My very first post on Zipsnation was about how amazed I was at the campus transformation (long before Infocision Stadium) after stepping foot back on the campus after having been away for many years (the last time I had seen the campus, Buchtel Avenue still ran through the center of it). For my money, he was the best President the University ever had.

In the show "The Book of Mormon", they have a scene where one of the main characters is having a "Mormon hell" dream. It includes dancing Starbucks coffee cups.

Resale sites like StubHub and RazorGator can only list the inventory that they have been provided at the price the seller has requested. No need to panic, plenty of good Zips seats still available.

Probably suspended indefinitely until the season. Doesn't sound like it was a compliance paperwork violation or something serious like that.

Hey, there are a lot of nice fields in Hudson.

Poll results have Bowden over Weiss by a large margin.

Not that I am happy to see anyone leave but when one of the players who was supposed to be one of the main recruits from a class leaves because he sees too much competition ahead of hm, that's probably not a bad thing. QB looks to be shaping up as a postion of strength for the next few years. In the MAC that's excellent news.

Not trying to pile on iCoach, but only #5 on this list of the top 25 worst coaching regimes in the FBS era?

Not a bad preview but I found this funny. I know they switched coaches, now the logos?

It can't be debated that the Zipmeister will not be baited, I too was awaiting his response with bated breath.

Neither Ohio nor Buffalo has been seen yet. Could be the two of them.

I don't like it for this particular case - puts more money in Can't State's coffers.

She was the primary reason the Chipps and not the Zips went to the NCAA tournament. Very talented player, and she and just about her whole crew is back this year.

I guess that depends on your version of interesting - I think we have two coming up that I would find interesting that have both agreed to a 1-1, Pitt and Iowa State, both BCS conference shools. I think you could do it with the bottom half of the BCS leagues and I'd also welcome just about anyone from any of the non-BCS leagues. Those are realistic schools to do a 1-1 (see above) and games Akron has a chance at winning. Besides none of them are scheduling Akron because of the sexy name.

I don't like the 2-1's because that either means you have to find someone willing to come to your house with no return gate (and the only way the Zips can do that right now is an FCS school and playing more than one of those a year isn't viable) or you have to reduce to 5 home games a year at some point. I'd rather do the ATM, 1-1, 1-1 and FCS every year. Plus in either a 2-1 or 1-1 you have to make sure that if you get the home game in the final year, that the game is actually played, too many times the bigger names will just buy their way out. NIU would have been in the same place if they had lost an ATM game (Iowa wasn't it), and do you remember that OU was in the top 25 after beating Penn State (who turned out to ne much better than expected) before they tanked too? The ATM, 1-1, 1-1 (and those can be lower level BCS teams) I think works really well. No 2-1's any more.

There is another familiar name on that roster - D.J. Cooper. Sometimes I think DJ and Zeke are going to be linked forever. Each got two MAC titles and battled each other for four years. Kind of fun to see them playing together after that all-star game.

But what it probably does show is the impact that Jim Tressel can have on the campus and using his name and influence to attract people to campus. How can that be a bad thing? Do you think those kids care about what happened in the past? No, they see a coach from a former national champion who is interested in them. Anyone still think it was a bad hire by the University? Combine that with Terry Bowden being your head coach and I can see why kids get excited.

Ah but in that same article: BTW, dimension also matters… average careers for players with… Height of 7 feet or more = 5.78 seasons So if you can get in, you can stay a while.

Spurs - smartest organization in the NBA at finding and developing underrated talent.

Dambrot and Christian coached against each other for four years from 04-05 to 07-08 when Christian was at Can't and then again last year when Christian was at OU. Year by Year (Dambrot's record against Christian assuming neither coach missed any of these games): 04-05 0-2 05-06 1-1 06-07 3-0 07-08 0-3 12-13 3-0 so the total is 7-6, so yeah pretty damn close and Dambrot was down by 2 until this year.

He finished third. Damn impressive for a freshman.
