Hilltopper

I think he played his best defensive game so far. He didn't get any steals, but he also didn't let his man go by him for a layup. I only saw one time where I thought he took a big gamble on defense. Overall I thought the Zips played pretty well defensively. The only low point was letting Sherman take those uncontested threes in the first half.

I've got the game on my DVR. Come on over, we'll order some pizza and watch Zeke destroy the flushes again. WOULD LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to come over....but I live in Pittsburgh!! Can u burn me a copy on DVD...I'll pay u for it??!!!! Well, it looks like I can't help you anyways. My 12 year old erased it this morning from the DVR. Had to make room for more Hanna Montana or some other nonsense.

What was really impressive was the way Zeke handled Greene. He was defending Greene most of the night and kept him from being a factor. The other impressive performance was from Rico. Played under control most of the night and those 2 baskets he made late in the game were huge.

The title of this thread has nothing to do with trains. It has everything to do with raising the speed limit to 70mph, however. The thread title is still wrong. Ohio had 70mph speed limits in the 60's and 70's, until Jimmy Carter decided we all couldn't go faster than 55mph.

I like your optimisim CK. But since this is the Can't game anything can happen. Its hard to get a feel for how this will play out tonite. In the past we had played several common opponents before meeting the flushes, so I could get a good feel for where we stood. The Zips need to contain Greene and shoot a decent % themselves and we will win easily.

Maybe the title of this thread should be State of ohio moves forward to the 1930's. I know you young guys haven't been around long enough to know that 75% of what comes out a politicians mouth is nothing more than hot air, but that $400 million dollars was not going to buying anything that would ever resemble high speed rail. The Ohio Department of Transportation responded in September with a new average estimate of 50 mph and "speed up to 79." It shortened the Cleveland-to-Cincinnati trip to 5 hours 12 minutes. But, not so fast. As an October story in the Columbus Dispatch noted, ODOT itself had said a year earlier that the trip couldn't be made in less than 5 hours 20 minutes -- even if the trains didn't stop. ODOT’s revised schedule hadn't even been seen by the three freight lines that own the tracks the 3C passenger trains would use, putting its feasibility in serious doubt.And, no matter how weak or strong its support, the optimistic revision still comes up longer than the best rail time of 1935. "The schedules speak for themselves," Larkin said. We rate his statement as True.

My friends and I were actually lamenting the same thing from the stands watching the game. It seemed we were doing a great job pushing the ball and beating ORU in the full court and breakaways. Then shortly before halftime the style of play began to change...I'm not sure if it's a lack of depth thing or conditioning or what (though neither of the other two freshmen saw the floor), but it was frustrating. We settled into the halfcourt game, had very little inside-outside action and quickly melted away our lead(s). One thing that would help, in addition to some stronger post defense from Zeke and Nik, would be to post up BMcKnight. He probably has the best post game on the team inside of about 8 feet. Its simple, when #11 is in the game things happen. He only played 18 minutes and it would be interesting to see the +- for that time.

I moved it to basketball since this is supposed to happen during a basketball game. I remember when coach Lolla would come out during half time and bounce a ball off his knee for entertainment. Now the team is celebrating a national title during this time. How far they have come! Agreed. I would hope they take as long as they need during halftime. Thanks for putting the topic in the correct forum.

What does this topic have to do with Football?

Someone gave me a game ball signed by this years team. Abreau's signiture was; Rico P.R. #11

I agree with Dave, Rico is the key to this team. When he is on the court the Zips have the kind of ball movement and defensive attitude that has been lacking for a while. He is still a freshman, but the Zips have finally found their true point guard.

I will admit that I have a very loud voice, but this happened with a minute or so left on the clock and the Zips clinging to a 1 point lead. If a fan is not going to cheer his team on during that situation, when else? Earlier in the second half, I took advantage of the dead crowd to remind Bo Boroski and his crew, that the game was being played at both ends of the court. During ORU's second half opening run the refs swallowed their whistles on every Zips possession, but a bad facial expression by a Zip defender earned ORU a trip to the line. Soon after pointing this out the Golden Eagles were whistled for 5 fouls on one Zips possession! If only a few thousand fans are going to attend, somebody has to make some noise!

Mmmm... I love cupcakes!

Would somebody please move this thread to the Smack forum where it belongs.

From the FTR websire; When I logged onto the second site, the first thing that happened was my antivirus had to defend an attack on my computer. I guess I'll stay away from that one.

That'll stick it to those big government blowhards. Thank goodness those funds are being sent to Illinois. Can you imagine the demand for train rides from Chicago to Springfield? Someone pinch me, I'm dreaming of the possibilities. What about the demand for train rides from NY to Chicago? Without an Ohio rail program, will that ever become a reality? It's really about interstate travel. Nobody's going to ride a train to a place they can get to on one tank of gas. It's about providing an alternative to air travel. There already is train service from NY city to Chicago. The Lakeshore Limited. It had a problem this week. Amtrak Loco Catches fire in Elyria

It looks like he won't be playing by the 8th of January. There was a pretrial hearing today and they pushed things back for 3 weeks in order to conduct an investigation. The next hearing date is 1-14-11. He was released on a $10,000 signature bond.

Doing my best Zipmeister impersonation: I hope he doesn't sell it for some tattoos!

Final Miami 69 Akron 61

I sure hope once you get off that train your final destination is within walking distance.

I just tried to get an update to this story at the Record courier website. I found 2 stories about Can't State basketball players problems with the law. Both of them are locked and you can't read them unless you are a paid subscriber. It appears that the powers at the RC don't want anybody seeing Can't State's dirty laundry. Those articles where the only ones which you need special access to view. What a croc of S#$t. http://www.recordpub.com/ http://www.recordpub.com/news/locked_article

I'm sure its all just a big misunderstanding. Once the Can't State athletic department gets things straightened out with police evrything will be back to normal. I wish we could recruit a guy with his "Skills".

This game played-out as it did because McNees couldn't throw it in the hoop if he he was sitting on Zeke's back, in the paint. It is nice to have Brett back. Decent scorer, senior who's been on all the bus trips to the far-reaches of Michigan and Indiana, etc. No doubt he's a nice, "mid-season acquisition." But unless he drank some of Conyers' Patented Radioactive Senior Elixir, he is what he is. +++++100 If Steve makes 2 or 3 of those bricks, the game is over at the end of regulation. I'm more worried about Steves transition to SG, it really helps if he makes a few shots.
