Kansas is Big 12 -- not Pac 12.. right???

Vandelay is a Rockets fan and he rates the Zips class as #1...http://www.vandelaysports.com/football/rec...2006/akron.html"Final Analysis It was truly an incredible year for JD Brookhart and his Zips. Several publications listed his 2005 recruiting class #1 in the MAC and he guided Akron to their first ever MAC championship and a bowl game this fall. The magic carpet ride continues as Akron has been rated the top MAC recruiting class in almost every published source, including VanDelaySports. The Zips signed speed, size and talent at every position and certainly rates as OUTSTANDING compared to the other conference schools this year."

Ok Tom,using your own logic and taking it a step further..... Why does the BJ cover Can't?? they average only a few more fans than the Zips... this for a team that has 7 concecutive 20+ win seasons, NCAA and NIT tournament appearances and on and on...Bottom line, when the local paper and media treat MAC as second class... so does the community...Need proof? BJ covers OSU like they are local right? Offer average BJ sports fan a free ticket to OSU game or free season tickets to Zips games.... which do you think he'd choose?

First, Meeshijeean??? We all typo.. been there.2nd... losing a big lead and wtill winning sure is a heck of lot better than never being in the game.. refer to Crawford, Coleman... Hipsher, Dan.3rd... How about these Zips? They could have easily folded in both games. But instead they sucked it up and won in overtime... with all the momentum against them.. they still fought through it and earned the W.4th.. mental toughness... If the players didn't believe Coach Dambrot (please note -- spelled with only one "T") about playing 40 minutes, they sure do now...Sheez... 8-1 and you still gripe???? Pathetic..... I suppose your also upset that we only won the MAC Football Championship with a 7-5 record too??? <MODERATOR SNIP>

Hey UAM, How about "Flush the Fl-ashes" T's for the game at the JAR???1) Bash the Fl-ash2) Smash the Fl-ash3) I got my eddukashun at Can't State

Yipes... awful last 11:00 but a W is a W.... Zips won this one with heart....CMU gained confidence and almost pulled it off at home... MAC road games... geez....No more CSU games in the middle of conference schedules please....

http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...150330/1063/SPT"Bubba Walther didn't mean his Mid-American Conference hop to Ohio to be a slap in the face to Akron fans." "Because Walther didn't like living in the dorms, his parents persuaded him to try living in an apartment as a sophomore. But he said by the time Akron got back from a three-game trip to Puerto Rico on Dec. 21, he knew it was time to leave." "Basketball was not going to get any better for me there, so I needed to make the move," Walther said. "I liked my teammates a lot, but I was already playing less than I was last year, and I felt like the opportunities to earn more minutes weren't going to be there. ... We had four people in the same position." "I don't have any hard feelings (toward Akron)," Walther said. "... I hope they do well, except when they play Ohio."

Guys.. I'm talking about the $$$$$ financing.. not the multi-use concept.....

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-fau...la-sports-front"...an FAU committee that examined proposals from three private teams for an Athletic Innovation Village of dorms, stores and a 40,000-seat domed football stadium that would also house basketball and concerts.""The idea is the dorms and stores could generate the dollars needed to finance construction of the stadium, with revenues reverting to the university once the debt is paid off.""FAU is following the lead of the University of Central Florida, which went through a similar process for its 10,000-seat convocation center for basketball and concerts, dorms and stores."

Was listening to Western Michigan hoops game tonite and French says "check out Gozips.com for season ticket info"... anybody done that? What's the scoop? I didn't see anything on Gozips....Anybody call the ticket office yet? guess I'll call in the morning....

A lot of schools have written into the AD's contract that if another school hires them away. that school is obligated to a 2 for 1 with the orginal school.Is the 2 for 1 with Cincinnati part of MT's buyout contract?I'm guessing that ths Indiana series is part of the scheduling agreement the MAC announced with the Big Ten last year??
