Zips Win!

Until the AD's of the MAC realize this and then stop scheduling the medium ten schools, this will not change. If we get to play as many of these games at home as we do on the road, then I would reconsider. Otherwise, the MAC needs to start scheduling winnable games.

Gets my vote for quotes of the year!

Give UA 'fans' one reason not to show...game on STO, expect a small crowd. Give them a second reason...game scheduled an evening before a holiday..expect a pathetic crowd. Yes, the student body support is a joke. However, the alumni support is even worse. How many of the 2,716 will be back after losing yesterday?

I have my doubts with this one on STO...

Geez, Gordon, maybe you should look at your own schedule before you rip on someone else's. It took 11 games into a 12 game season to crack the top 60. Nice job.. I don't know how Tress sleeps at night with such a daunting schedule.

I would love to call and have a two minute conversation about the Zips. Exactly what would I gain by asking two guys, one of which even admitted he hasn't been to a UA game when the show started, anything about the Zips. They don't know anything about UA athletics... I am not looking for a 3-hour show 5-days a week dedicated to UA sports. I realize the sponsors and listeners would not support that... I would appreciate 5 minutes a day dedicated to a review of the previous weeks games, a promotion of the upcoming games--i.e dates, starting times and location and a little effort to get a weekly guest from UA on the line wouldn't hurt. Heck, find a fan on this board and get him to call in weekly...but then the hosts would actually have to do a little UA homework or they would get embarrassed. First suggestion- get on mapquest and find the directions to Infocision and the JAR...We can build on it from there...

This may be true. But the hosts of the 3-6 pm drive show are a bunch of idiots so I put little stock in anything they say when it comes to UA. The main host is a UA grad and all he talks about when it comes to college sports is guess who? Just what I like to see, another UA grad with a platform to promote the Zips...rooting for the buckeyes.. I had it on for 5 mintues today and all they could talk about was tosu basketball. Really? A show that was supposed to be dedicated to NE OHio sports and UA is another tosu talk show. Just what I've been waiting for....more luckeye talk. The idiot (Ken) makes fun of UA and the MAC all the time so I wouldn't talk to him if I were iCoach either. The best show 1350 airs at the 3-6pm time slot is when the national guys fill in... I can't wait for the show to get canceled.

Me too, with Chief Old Grandad!

I heard it was to be joined in progress after the Cavs game... so maybe the second half..

This may be true, but Humpty will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart as he is the one who hit arguably the biggest shot in the last 25 years of Zips basketball....Good Luck to Humpty-Hump.....My daughter misses you!!!

No price change for tickets. Stop slashing the price of reserve tickets throughout the season. Stop giving away free tickets unless there is a purchase on the back end. Give away 4 GA's for the opener if they agree to buy 4 for the second game. e.g. There will be no premium home games in 2011, although there will be two home winable games, which I like better. Both FIU and VMI are winable games. Incentive to buy tickets? Guaranteed parking in the same lot as 2010. Take the plunge, put up the dough and sell football jerseys to season ticket holders. Ditto for tailgating tents. How is it that UA doesn't sell blue or gold UA tents? The sea of blue UK tents seen at Kentucky this year was unbelievable.....and they have ONE SEC win.....Make them availavble as well. Open access to all spring and fall practices held in the stadium - Tell that idiot they hire that harasses anyone that walks by the stadium during a practice to go away. Exaclty what the hell are we hiding, anyway! Just win baby!!!!

Can't say I agree with much of this post!! Play Egner- if this was the Hipsher era where we needed to save players and years of eligibility, Ok. But this isn't. I also am not concerned much with positions? Is he a 3 or 4 etc? Match-ups and defensive agressiveness many times determines the combination on the floor. I also cannot say we are "deep" at any position, but I do like the returners..and I do believe we have enough experience that we could develop more than one freshman. We all know KD likes to play 9-10 guys...I've aleady know my top nine--Play 'em! McNees Roberts Abreu Diggs McKnight Cventinovic Marshall Egner Euton

For the umpteenth time, they are a competitor of the Zips. Oh yeah, I forgot. LOL Per Jeff Sagarin....not Zips Win! Update: 75% of the season complete and the SOS is 87 out of 120. 13 Ohio State A = 86.27 8 1 65.41( 87) Good to see you are so obsessed with them and following them so much. I am surprised you aren't bashed relentlessly for it. You must not be a true Zip fan. BTW, Obsession isn't a good thing. You may want to seek professional help. Just saying....... Exactly how am I obsessed with THEM? On a weekly basis I take one minute and check out Sagarin's ratings to see how his computer formula ranks all the college football teams. I then post for you the tosu sos. Hardly an obsession... As for the Zips, I've never gone to a game!!!!

I forgot to update. The schedule is indeed geting harder. Up to 81. Not bad for the vest... 13. Ohio State A = 85.85 6 1 66.42( 81)

Here is a great place for you to post this kind of stuff. Stop it here. Thank you. But all the crying is here. They don't do it over there. Believe me, they would ask you to go away if your name was Zipbuck and you talked Zips football on a tosu board.

Please, enough with comments like these. You are hurting Buckzips feelings...GP1 was right, the Vest should have scheduled Urbana instead of Wisconsin and he would be sitting atop the polls at 7-0.

Zips Win! not in attendance for the first time all year therefore: Zips 24 OU 20 The jinx continues...

Update- SOS 117 out of 120 D1 programs... 15 Ohio State A = 85.08 6 0 63.45( 117)

I thought he was a graduate of the University of North Carolina!!

I would make this a $10K donor parking lot once the building comes down!!!!!

Thank you for your two long posts. You must have been up half the night boiling in anger. I'm sure if you had better writing skills, you could have composed a much shorter response. Every team that loses isn't a fraud. Good teams lose all the time. What makes a fraud is the build-up. These teams and fans think something great is about to happen after a year of winning against less than capable teams. At the end of the year, that team gets destroyed by a much better team they thought they were as good as and the fraud is complete. I have no doubt tOSU will march right through a terrible conference and be in the BCS Championship. Who is going to stop them? Michigan....we saw the Rich Rod 4-0 start last year and how it ends. Iowa (speaking of frauds)....lost to an average Arizona team. Wisconsin......almost lost to an always underperforming PAC 10 team at home and nobody should be impressed. PSU....when Joe Pa retires, they can change their name to the University of Illinois. The best tOSU can hope for is for the voters to lose their minds and actually put Boise State in the championship game. I'm sure everyone in Buckeyeland if rooting for that. Winning a national championship game after beating not a single good team all season is what is needed for tOSU. The last thing they want to see is Alabama lining up on the other side of the ball. LOL. I wasn't boiling at all. Actually I was laughing at you. SPS is funny to read. Once again you are showing it here. "Terrible conference, not beating a single good team" wa, wa, wa, wa....More foolish, ignorant comments by you. I just like to express myself and give responses to all ignorant points. Unlike you, I prove my points, rather than just throwing out uneducated, jealous jibberish. Actually i agree with you on certain things. It's the way you say it that is ridiculous and reeks of SPS. I don't think OSU goes undefeated this year. I think they lose to Wisci and Iowa both on the road. You can call me a lot of things, but homer isn't one of them. Secondary is not good IMO, and the running game is lacking. Carry on. My luckeyes come in with a strength (weak) of schedule of ....NINETY-NINE....

I would ask iCoach if a bowl game was out of the question. Or if 0-12 is a real possibility? Even after the beatdown on Saturday I still had my hopes up to beat Ball State...Now, not so much. In retrospect, I find it interesting how many of us thought we would be somewhat competitive with the 17 starters back. Even I thought four wins were certain. But if anyone was at the Spring game and saw how bad it was, our 0-5 start really isn't that surprising. In a game set-up for offense, the defense killed the offense. The offense could barely move the ball. We love to rip the 3-3-5 defense and rightly so, but all we did from last year is rearranged the chairs on the titantic and it's sinking fast. We couldn't stop anyone in 2009 and the same goes for this year... We need better players.....and fast...

Another daunting week of games for the almighty medium ten!!!! I hear Illinois refused to play Glenville, so they have a bye this week.....
