  1. What is this? Accurate information from a reliable source? This has to be a first on ZipsNation and Internet message boards in general. Thank you Donna.
  2. Big Dog will have one less Big Man to play against next year, Antonio Campbell just declared for the NBA draft.
  3. Good article I hope he gets a chance to catch on somewhere. I don't remember playing South Florida - I suspect FIU got lost in translation somewhere. :) Didn't mention playing at Michigan which was by far the best of the P5 games.
  4. But bizarrely in his write-up on him lists him as a day 3 or UDFA. I am certain he will have a NFL job somewhere next year.
  5. Fun little prank - especially naming the two design companies LIRPATurf and SloofDay Design - the first one I wouldn't have caught it on but the second was a little bit too obvious.
  6. And because Bleacher Report is affiliated with CNN it's also on the CNN front page under sports. Only good thing is it is an accident and isn't really cause for truly negative publicity.
  7. In a different article Elton also mentions how tough Buffalo's OOC schedule was this year especially as opposed to the rest of the MAC. Possible lesson there? Old Dominion (Conference-USA), St. Joseph (Atlantic 10), St. Bonaventure (Atlantic 10), Duke (ACC), Iowa State (Big 12) and VCU (Atlantic 10) were all on the schedule. All but St. Bonaventure were played on the road.
  8. Quite the barn burner, at this pace the final would be 24-24 :-)
  9. Here is something I've noticed - when a story is linked on GoZips.com it comes right back to the ZN.O story - like the following The Akron track and field program reaped the rewards for its efforts during the indoor campaign this season as five Zips garnered United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-America accolades. View the full article at www.GoZips.com Clicking on the link in that story took you right back to that story.
  10. I just hope whoever wins shoots like they are doing in the first half tonight. So this will be the Zips 8th appearance (in ten years - wow) and we have never faced anyone other than an East squad. BGSU is the only team we haven't faced. In the last 20 years, the west has placed a team in the final only 9 out of the 40 chances.
  11. Especially when he drilled about a 35 yard goal against Michigan in the semis to tie that game up before the half.
  12. Ladies unfortunately have kind of collapsed in the second half. Down by 5 with a minute to go. Have given up 18 offensive rebounds. Still a chance, though.
  13. From the EMU Press Conference Transcript: Coach, I know it didn't really matter, but the timeout you didn't have, was there any way that final flurry could have turned out? COACH MURPHY: No, not really. They missed a layup and we got the rebound, so even if he doesn't call the timeout he would have had to shoot a full court shot so try try to make it. Instinctively he called a timeout. Really probably put us in a better situation for them to get the extra free throw. So bad plays turned into a positive play because the game pretty much would have been over.
  14. Zips have got to win this one. The irony of losing as a 1 seed to the first 12 seed to ever make the semis and having beaten them for pretty much every game of the 21st century would just be too much to take.
  15. Dr. Z did you get a press pass or something? Looks like you were right on the floor. Ease up a little, don't want the ABJ or PD to make you an offer. Thanks for those.
  16. CMU by one with about a minute left - BGSU just missed the front end of a one and one where they had an opportunity to take the lead. Edit: Another missed free throw by BGSU that would have tied it. And BGSU hits a late three combined with a defensive stop and knocks out CMU. Wow.
  17. The surest thing in MAC basketball over the last ten years is the Zips reaching the MAC semi's under Keith Dambrot. No exception this year. Zips 76-67.
  18. That bracket couldn't have set up much better for the Zips in the rock-paper-scissors game of OU-Buffalo and Akron. The Zips couldn't beat Ohio this year but Ohio couldn't beat Buffalo (inexplicably now 0-3 against them) as the 8th seed, so Buffalo does us a favor and knocks them out. And how did the Zips do against Buffalo this year? 2-0 of course. Talk about matchups determining tournament results. Couldn't have played out any better for the Zips to have an excellent chance of reaching the final.
  19. Anita Brown has almost half the teams points (33 of 67), wow. Zips up by 4 with 1:25 left in OT.
  20. The way Ball State ended the year and Whitford still tied him? Would have been a travesty to hand COY to the #6 seed (who then ended up bowing out to an #11 seed in the first round). And who the hell cast a vote for Rob Senderoff? And Big Dog did not get any POY votes (Campbell won, Boothe was a close second - no argument) - next year Big Man
  21. The way this season ended up, I don't think it can be anybody but Keith.
  22. Might be leaving Boston College soon. 0-18 in the ACC.
  23. At least this year while not making the NCAA's would be a disappointment at least it will be no worse than the NIT. Glad they put the conference champ rule into effect.
