Nope.

It also says a Emil has 18 goals this season - incorrect for an article published on Nov 1st.

I'm grateful all of the Zips games weren't on Flo.

Enrique 4 - Bronny 2 😉

It even has the railing.

Really disappointing - I thought with the way they started the non-conference season they could at least sneak into the bottom of the MAC tourney, but in looking at their non-conference opponents, almost all of them are toward the bottom of RPI numbers. Guess it was fools gold. 😞

And if we lose our first game, how soon will the John's next endeavor thread start? 🫠

We also got pretty lucky. The Zips have shut out every opponent in the Big East except the two that are guaranteed not to make the tournament. Dodged two bullets there. 🤣

So I did a little analysis on who the Zips opponent will be in the first round of the tournament. The Big East uses points and then the best result against common opponents starting with the highest seed. The current standings: 1. Akron 21 points (clinched top seed) 2. Georgetown 16 points 3. Providence 14 points (by virtue of beating UConn and tied St John's) 4. St John's 14 pts (tied UConn) 5. UConn 11 points 6. Creighton 10 points (tied Providence) 7. Seton Hall 10 points (lost to Providence) 8. Marquette 8 points Outside looking in Xavier, DePaul 5 points Eliminated: Butler 3 points, Villanova 1 point. So not trying to figure out all of the permutations of all the seeds, but trying to figure out who the 8 seed will be. It cannot be any of 2-4, they have too many points. It cannot be UConn because if Marquette wins, that would knock Creighton (whom they play) below UConn in the standings. If Marquette ties Creighton they are the 8 seed. If Marquette beats Creighton and Seton Hall wins or ties, Creighton is the 8 seed. If Marquette beats Creighton and Seton Hall loses, Seton Hall is the 8 seed because they lost to Providence while Creighton tied them. If DePaul wins (they have Butler) and Marquette and Xavier lose, DePaul gets the 8 seed because their best result is a win over Creighton. If Xavier beats Providence and Marquette loses, Xavier is the 8 seed, no matter what DePaul does (Xavier will have the best result amongst the highest seeded team). So there are still five teams possible for the eight seed, so now you know your rooting interest. Personally, I'm rooting for DePaul, Creighton and Providence. ☺️

When you do your review this week, can you ignore Singleton please? ☺️

You almost had it. You are correct that that happened that year but that happened earlier in that year and then later that year the Zips beat Kent and Central Michigan back to back, which would also be the last back to back FBS games. That year they only had four wins but twice they had a two-game winning streak. 🤣

Jaaskelainen has tied the great Steve Zakuani for fifth place in goals in a season with 20. Next up, Matt English and Pete Milich for third on the list.

Man it would be sweet to run the table in only the second year in the Big East.

Well, there's a Zips play. Put two penalties on top of each other and EMU gets the ball at the 50. Will an 18-point lead be enough?

Yep, been terrible today again. 😉

It's like watching the anti-Zips.

Nice job Zips. Bullock always seems to do a good job reading defenses. I did find it odd how the referee pulled his arm down after he scored because maybe he was celebrating too much? Weird.

Castleberry dropped that punt before the EMU defender ever touched him. Should not have been a penalty on EMU and Castleberry should not be catching punts anymore.

As we know Bowden got fired last year at ULM. He is currently an assistant coach at Delhi Charter School. ULM this year, however, is 5-1, their only loss is to Texas and have beaten JMU and Troy. Coaches matter.

Just a kid from Cleveland. Just 40,486 points to go to catch LeBron. ☺️

I'm old but I didn't realize I was Freeman was born in 2000 old. 🤣😂

Pretty cool for a debut, one in which he could have gotten zero playing time, ended up with 2 points in 7 minutes. Way to go 'Rique! 😊

Maybe those will cause others to underestimate these Zips. 😊 Emil is now tied for 9th place all time in most goals in a season, Pete Milich at 31 is probably out of reach, but Louie Nanchoff at #2 with 22 is within reason.

Man, they have been looking sharp ever since Big East play started.

And of course his very first points come on a hustle play - scrambling for a loose ball.
