You're talking to yourself again!

Because Zeke is trying to block every shot, it takes him out of position for defensive rebounds. On the offensive end, I'm not sure what is happening. Next game I will watch closely to see what Zeke is doing.

From the times I've seen him at practices, he is a very gritty player. I would like to see what he could do in a game.

Valpo just took down Cleveland State. http://stats.cleveland.com/cbk/recap.asp?g...&final=true http://www.cleveland.com/sports/csu/index....t_maintain.html

With the amount of fouls called, it took the crowd out of the game a little bit.

Egner hut his back in practice this week. He is scheduled to have an MRI. The new guy on the bench is a walk-on. He earned the spot on the bench after Green left the program.

BTW, here's what Joe doe's in his spare time. Big Time Sports

Bald nerd!

Joe Dunn bleeds blue and gold, so its no surprise that he is a total homer for the Zips. I will give him a call today and pass on the suggestions from the good members of ZN.O for improvements to the program. I'm sure if they are feasible he would make whatever changes necessary to get more viewers.

After Saturdays games, you guys will be eating my dust!

I bow to your wisdom!

When the JAR first opened there was no metal railing at the top of the glass wall surrounding the lower level. It wasn't until later that year or the next year that someone from the university or the city decided that the metal cap had to be installed for what ever reason. Take away the metal cap on the glass and the site lines from the upper deck are much better.

Thanks for the update. I hope things work out for Brian, it was a pleasure to watch him perform the last few years.

Unless he has some kind of injury next year, red-shirting is not possible for Egner. I believe you can only red-shirt for your true Freshman year.

All Ohio guard Evan Payne has returned to the Akron area and will enroll at Firestone HS. He won't be eligable to play this season. He still hasn't commited anywhere And he still lists UA as a possibility. Evan Payne returns from prep school but likely ineligible to play for Firestone

It looks like Kasich was right after all. Highspeed rail is too expensive and will require massive subsidies to keep it operating. Even free spending California has seen the light. State Panel Suggests Putting California High-Speed Rail on Hold Whats really funny is the response from those who still want it built. The same kind of mind set as this.

OMG! I had forgotten about that awful show. You have described it to perfection. Faust never let the players actually say anything. Come to think of it, Faust really never said anything meaningful either.

Nice article. I'm jealous of their crowd of 6,063. I just returned from Huntington at 2 today. In the end I was happy I made the 4.5 hour trek. My daughters wanted to see the Marshall football stadium and commemorative plaques from the 1970 team as they have watched the movie a half- dozen times… A very quaint campus and town with an awesome bar near in Fat Patty’s..to bad it was too crowded before and after to get a seat… Walking the halls of the old arena I noticed that the Knicks head coach attended Marshall…How knew? And yes, the crowd was great…over 6K and MU did have a terrible shooting night, both at in the field and at the line… However, I was very impressed with the following: Other than a few touch fouls on Zeke, I thought the officiating was terrific. They allowed both teams to play a physical game. Gilliam gave us a big lift hitting 5-7. The two misses were good shots. This made up for Q’s lack of scoring. We went to Zeke early and often, he was a force on the defensive end. They pulled the chair out from under him once and hit the deck hard. A foul was called and the place booed loudly. I kinda agreed….where was the foul? Tree was awesome. He gave us a great lift with his offensive rebounding…When we get him to make his layups and dunks, I see an All-MAC performer. Harney, too. He played 9 minutes. I want to see him more as his natural talent is unlimited. I do realize minutes are tight, though. Especially with Nik playing one of his best games. What a huge difference it makes when his 2- foot shots go in…And he kept his cool… Finally, pound for pound, AA may be the toughest dude on the team.. He was slightly overmatched with a little taller guards from MU and he was relentless on both sides. He penetrated the lane early and often and got guys better shots. If we can get comfortable taking care of the ball, look out Mid-American Conference…This team can flat out ball.. Nice report!

I'm not sure how you judge most overrated player in the NFL? By salary? I would start how players were drafted. Tony was not drafted, so I would guess anything after that is gravy. Think of all the first round QB picks that stink, Sanchez comes to mind. If you go by quarterback rating (which many do), there are 30 quarterbacks rated lower, as Tony is #4 in the NFL. I might not start my franchise with Romo, but calling him the most overrated player in the NFL is pretty ridiculous IMO. I would say just consider the source.
