I don't like it - I don't see how it improves anything and just is going to sneak a few more low level BCS teams in. Joe Lunardi'sfirst four that didn't make it (even though he wasn't exactly right in who did) were Arizona State, Mississippi State , Illinois and Florida. So three out of those four make it and get a little bit higher seed. That means that effectively all of the current 16 and 15 seeds will end up in play in games. With Ohio beiung a 14 this year that puts the MAC dangerously close to being in that tier. Don't see this as being good for the Zips. While I'm glad they didn't go to 96, this is just the first step in that direction.

So I'm assuming this thread is now moot. I liked Steve, I got to talk with him on the phone for a bit once when he called to thank Z-Fund donors. Wished he would have gotrten more of a chance to play but I hope he does well wherever he ends up. Does anyone know where any of our transfers ended up yet?

i got pics on my phone but i can't figure out how to get them from my phone to the internet... Most phones will allow you to send a picture message to an alphabetic destination instead of just numeric. So instead of typing a phone number to send a message, try typing in your email address and then hitting send.

Yep, they got smoked, 7-1. I want the Zips to be the first MAC school to win a national championship anyway.

I think it works in quite well with the architectural deisgn of the stadium.

MAC just signed on with the WAC to a four year deal with the Humanitarian Bowl. Blue Turf in Winter

Yeah, well if Chuck the Chest ever gets a head coaching job again you know he'll continue to hold this against us.

So they mention a kid who has a scholarship offer from the Zips, yet completely neglect to mention that another has a scholarship commitment from the Zips. Irresponsible journalism! 9. Scott County The Cardinals lose Division I prospects Chad Jackson, Dakotah Euton and Ge-Lawn Guyn but coach Billy Hicks returns juniors-to-be Tamron Manning and Isaiah Ivey, who are two of the state's top players in the class of 2012.

It could be a Zoo of MAC mascots. We could have a kangaroo, bull, bobcat (Or a large housecat), an eagle/hawk (paint one half orange&brown, the other Blue & maze, the ass red, and the turds green), and a sled dog. The remainder of the animals can be found living free in the general vicinity campus. The zoo keeper can dress as a Chippewa. It would be like the ESPN commercials. Not bad but the turds should be painted blue and yellow instead of green.

Unless this was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, the "New Area for Development" you have listed is partly on top of Infocision Stadium. An arena suspended above the Stadium would be pretty cool though, and that would definitely qualify as on campus.

We can't win a home CBI game against Wisconsin Green Bay. We have a long way to go. Yes, but W-GB was only six RPI slots worse than us. If you take our RPI and divide by the conference standard deviation and multiply by the cross-coefficient constant of statistical relevancy we actually did beat them. Sorry Dave. I'd be quite happy to be in a middling conference and playing for the National Championship. It obviously can be done. I wonder what that ratio of people rooting for Butler vs. Duke is? 5-1/10-1/100-1? Go Jimmy Chitwood!

Not suggesting we need one, but more dangerous than a live Longhorn Steer (Texas), Buffalo (Colorado) or Tiger (LSU)? If there was a real call for it, it could be done.

Is his number 4? Or maybe he just enjoys being a four seed.

That link came up dry (has the word f.l.a.s.h in it) but for anyone who never saw it, its worth a read. Here is an easier link: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/art...x.htm?eref=sihp Best part of the article was the sub head-line: He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga— Look at the first letter of each word.

I hope his family is/will be well cared for, but on a selfish note, I do hope he returns for another season. It's good for the MAC. If you're going to be selfish, root for him not to come back. It might be good for the MAC, but it's terrible for the Zips.

The last time the East did not have four of the top five seeds was in 2005 (and even then the East had three of the top five). I just don't see the East dominance ending any time soon (just like I don't see the West dominance in football ending any time soon).

At double the salary, heck yes.

I wasn't really that serious, you can find the MAC if you go to the conference link and pick MAC, it's just odd that it isn't on that page.

I was browsing on the SI Division I basketball conference and teams page and the MAC isn't even listed. There are a few other smaller conferences (Atlantic Sun, Big South, MAAC, Southland) that are also not listed. Wonder what the story is behind that one? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/ncaa/men/teams/

I agree it can be a little annoying but it is generally fairly easy to fix. Anything to potray our rival in a poorer light automatically, I say keep it. When I find something that works, I stick with it (like my hairstyle from 1987).

I think more of my posts should have been deleted, especially the dumber ones (like this one ).

Sadly though, the Zips ended at #27, which I believe breaks a 4 year string of being ranked in the final Mad-Major top 25 poll.

Apparently the MAC has a tie-in with the Humanitarian Bowl, for this year but it may only be for this year. The loss of the International Bowl hurts the MAC more than any other conference.

If you had a pack with your roommate, you may want to check, you may be gravy too.

Might be a nice design but is that bridge on or off campus?
