That would seem to eliminate Mark Farley (longtime coach at Northern Iowa) who has a game to coach on the 3rd. Seems like a pretty quick decision and short "national search" .. I tend to believe this would be a meeting to rally the troops and make sure they're up to speed on what the time-line looks like. After all, has there been a team meeting since the departure of RI was announced on Saturday? Doesn't seem unusual to me that there'd be a team meeting today.

You said you wanted a place to take it easy and still make an impact on kids lives. Akron is that kind of place. You want to make good on your name and legacy and you are about teaching football. Well Akron desperately needs to be taught how to play football. I'm not interested in a guy looking to take it easy. His easy job was OSU. It's hard as Hell to win at Akron and we don't need a guy to take it easy. We want a guy who will work his butt off to get the easy job at a school like OSU. Long time reader .. some time agreer .. put me down for a +1 on pretty much all GP1 is posting on the JT topic. Go Zips!

I think DrZ would disagree. I also think JZ84 might disagree. I also think Zips Win! might disagree. I disagree as well. We pulled a quick lever the last go around. I think some patience and diligence is required now more than ever. My guess is that the poster on Rasor's post is closer to the mark: TW is calling on people like Tressel and Dennison to either take part in the search committee, or act as defacto "search firm" to build the best candidate list he can come up with.

The man has a point.

Isn't this exactly why everyone believed TW hired his pre-school playmate 2 years ago? It wasn't drawn out and careful ... ? Why would we want a similar quick strike this time?

I think the worldwide leader has rights to that game, and can determine (something like 3 weeks ahead of time) which date they want it for. Probably if they're going to broadcast it, it'll end up on Friday .. if not, it'll go to Saturday.

Here's a link to the archived audio of the interview. About 10 minutes long.

A very sad loss for everyone who knew him. VCD Phil!

This schedule might end up being the perfect storm of mid-major scheduling. Some of these games may end up being really good RPI games. MTSU on the road could be much better than we expected. B) Go Zips!

I understand that some people turn other people off. It's human nature. But it makes absolutely no sense for someone to stop posting on a forum they otherwise enjoy for the sole reason that they don't happen to like the posts of one or two other people. That's what the Manage Ignored Users Option is for. You don't like anything someone posts? Add that person to your Ignored Users list, that person disappears for you and you can enjoy the forum as if that person never existed. I think some people just throw out easy excuses to explain why they don't post on forums. It makes sense for the guy to do whatever he wants. It makes less sense for someone to continually editorialize every decision or comment by other posters. Thanks for the reminder on the Ignore function.! Go Zips!

You sir, are on a roll. B) Go Zips!

Great post. Welcome aboard. +10. Go Zips!

Isn't it a 6PM Tip?

Since you were in town, did you get to the JAR for the Hiram game?

The guy was shooting from Goddard-ville. You don't extend the defense to 30' and then let the little guys dribble around your 6-7 SF. You take away the paint and mid-range .. and dominate the glass. Did the Zips win by 30 or 3? I seem to recall 30. B) B) Go Zips!

I'm not a fan of either program, but I'm pretty sure only one of those 2 should spend a bunch of time in jail.

I've NEVER been as comfortable with a BB roster as I was last night watching the Zips. It's mind boggling to me how we can lose guys like McNees and Roberts who anchored the backcourt for as long as they did .. and just not miss a beat with the new rotations. Gilliam seemed frustrated last night. I'm going to Vegas on him going off in one of the games at Valpo. We get him rolling .. and this can be a really special season. It'll happen soon. B) B) Go Zips.

Really hard not to love this roster already.Turnovers will decide this game.

Swiech is a Akron graduate. We love that guy.

This is potentially a huge blow. From what I saw in August and at an early practice this month .. seemed like Deji was making it hard for KD to redshirt him. And a 6-3 PG w/ 6-9 reach would have been great to have off the bench on D.This is one reason it's great to have depth and battles at every position on the roster. Odds were the Zips weren't going to have the healthy run they had last year go on forever (no games missed by any player due to injury).Go Zips!

In anticipation of it's imminent return to a TV near you .. please take a moment to view the following. As GP1 would say .. it's one of my favorite topics. :rock: :rock:

See rule 8.

In honor of Beavis and Butthead coming back on TV this week, I'd just like to say.....Uhhhhhhh he said sniff....Dude! I had almost forgotte that. It is going to be epic. Just that 5 minutes of them watching Jersey Shore slayed me. :rock: Go Zips!

Please tone it down, GoZips.Gilliam is not a 2. He's a 3 man in the style of B McKnight.
