Hilltopper

When I went there it was refered to as Hill Top High.

We have YouTube Tom at the helm. A successful hire would be a given. Don't sweat it.

I'm sorry for high-jacking your thread 71. I didn't mean to imply that those players weren't worthy of their HOF status. I too find it amazing that all those great players were on the same All American team in 66-67.

I am NOT buying into that one at all. There were plenty of black players at major universities in those days. And Phil Jackson was not black, even then. Not in the south. Here is a team picture of the 1966 Alabama football team. Try and find just one black player. SEC

It might have to do with the fact that most of the large southern schools(SEC) were still mostly segregated. Those great black players were relegated to the smaller schools that would accept them.

That looks great. It cost $75 million in 1996, wonder what it would cost now. Van Andel Arena

I saw him play twice this season. He's got some serious athletic ability. I don't know if he is ready for D-1 basketball right now, but if you could red-shirt him, I would take the chance. He would be a great addition to the Zips.

There was no defense played by either team in the second half of that game.

If you're going to make really sick jokes, you should really learn how to use the emoticons. Otherwise, to the casual user, you just look like a bigoted ass.

My answer hasn't changed, either. We first need to prove that we can handle the OOC schedule we have now before trying to increase its strength. If the Zips go 0-5 in their 5 toughest OOC games one season, it does no good to schedule 7 tough OOC games the next season. All that does is make it less likely to have a 20-win season, and will do nothing to help earn an NCAA tournament at-large berth should the Zips not win the MAC tournament championship. Here's the 5-step process: 1. Schedule a modest number of tough OOC games. (DONE) 2. Win a fair percentage of tough OOC games. (NOT DONE) 3. Schedule an increasing number of tough OOC games. (PENDING COMPLETION OF STEP 2) 4. Win an increasing percentage of tough OOC games. (PENDING COMPLETION OF STEPS 2 AND 3) 5. Become recognized as a national basketball power and earn consideration for an NCAA at-large bid. (PENDING COMPLETION OF STEPS 2, 3 AND 4) Dave, We seem to be pretty much on the same page here. But, I don't think it makes any difference if we lose 7 OOC games instead of 5 OOC games since we can't get an at-large bid in either scenario. The important thing for me is that we at least have the opportunity for an at-large by putting the teams on the schedule that would impress people if we can win them. Yes, 20-win seasons are great. But, if the wins aren't good enough to give you a chance at an at-large, it means very little to me anymore. Kids who are winners, want to play for winning programs. Getting your A$$ handed to you 3-4 times per year by playing highmajors on their home court without the possibility of a return home game is useless. After 6 20 win seasons and 5 trips to the MAC championship, we are finally starting to see some interest from a better quality of player than we ever saw before. No offense to the old timers on this board(I'm one of them), but those teams from the sixties and seventies we all remember would get blown out of the gym by our current teams. Winning attracts winners.

In the video, its apparent the he can use both hands while finishing at the basket. Early on he makes a nice move and finishes with a left handed dunk. Later he does the same thing with his right hand. Very impressive.

It looks like everyone who wanted tickets got them. My seats were great.(except for the guy with the big head seated directly in front of me ) Nick Lachey was sitting in the row behind us and caused quite a stir among the young ladies seated near us.

I watched the whole game. It looked like a typical MAC game to me. St. Marys star player was awful. The commentators described how he seemed to have hit some kind of wall a few weeks ago and has played like crap since. Justin Greene kept StM in the game by turning the ball over everytime he got it in the lane. But he made the layup at the end that proved to be the game winner. So far,the MAC is undefeated in post season play .

Interesting, because this was NOT how it was in Portland. All of the Zips fans were together in the 100 section. I guess I'll see what I have when I get there! I think thats because there were only about 100 of us Zips fans total in Portland.

Tickets are gone. Thanks for looking.

I have 4 tickets in the UA section for Fridays game. If you are interested send me a PM. Will sell for face value.

It looks like I have 4 extra tickets in the Akron section. If you want them, send me a PM. I will sell them for face value.

My neighbor has 4 lower reserved seats in the center section. That would require a $500 per seat donation to the ZAC. If he doesn't get any, I don't have a chance. I've been a season ticket holder for 38 years, but I stopped sitting in the lower level about 7 years ago. I do make a $500 contribution to keep my Football ticket location, so that will help. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Are you sure they have your phone number or e-mail address? You were there when I made the phone call to the ticket office!

Still waiting to hear from the ticket office. Any news?

As the Zips were cutting down the nets last hight, I noticed Coach I in the stands directly below me. I yelled down to him that now it was his turn to bring home a championship. He looked at me like I must be nuts.

Before KD the Zips hadnlt even sniffed an NCAA post season bid in 20 years. Rome wasn't built in a day. I plan on enjoying every minute of this.

Cheapskate!
