I think students like soccer better because its much easier to smuggle booze into a soccer game than into the JAR!

I found this while waiting for the game tonite.http://www.jjhuddle.com/blog/post-detail.php?p=4187

What about Green? Where does he fit in? I don't know that I would call J. Conyers an outside shooter, more of a slasher and offensive rebounder.

Who says white men can't jump? When Jackson came out on the floor for warmups, there were two big guys. One guy was a clean cut and uninspiring physical specimen, the other was sporting a Mohawk and was bouncing all over the place. After the game started, one was soaring above the rim and playing very physical around the rim. The other powered the ball up against a bunch of short white guys. How about a couple of Lebron like rejections from behind, where the shooter looked around and thought where in the heck did that guy come from? Want to guess which one was the Zips recruit? The guy with the mohawk and the attitude. The best athlete on the floor this evening was Josh Egner by far. This guy has got serious hops. He threw down a breakaway dunk that had the whole backboard standard shaking for a few seconds. The Jackson fans seated near us said he seemed a little subdued and we should have seem him last weekend against Hoover! He did not show much of an outside shot tonight, but I don't think that will be a big part of game with the Zips. To my eye, Egner has way more upside than Henniger. Mark Henniger may be getting all the press on Jacksons team this season, but I wasn't that impressed. The whole Jackson offense is designed to get the ball down low to the center, which was played by Henniger most of the game. Quite a few Zips fans have been complaining about the lack of passion displayed by this years team, Egner oozes passion. I look forward to seeing him in blue and gold for four years.

He plays for Scott Co. highschool. Here is an article about the Kentucky State tournament. Euton is mentioned.http://www.kentucky.com/2010/02/20/1149982...tournament.html

Thanks for the help Doc. I will give a report after the game. I don't think Green will give Jackson much of a game, but I'm sure it will be entertaining.

And your an expert on the team because????? You post and moderate on ZN?????

I wasn't in attendance at Zips Live, but I did get to ask Steve French a few questions during his live TV show on channel 23. 1.(Q) How can the Zips have 3 incoming freshmen when we only have 2 seniors on this years team? (A) One of the existing scholarship players is going to graduate early or transfer. When pressed as to who this might be, he said it wouldn't be Bardo(he has graduated) and that D Roberts will definitely be back for another season. So that leaves Sweich and Sullivan as the likely candidates to leave the team.2.(Q)When do you think the "Light will go on" for Zeke Marshall? (A)Right now its blinking. If not for Zeke, we probably don't win at BSU and CMU. Offensively he is still too timid but he is clearly altering the game at the defensive end of the floor.3.(Q) Why is KD so enamored with Steve McNeese? (A) 31 turnovers in 26 games as the primary ball handler. The Zips run over 50 different sets on offense and Steve does the best job of putting us in a position to win. All the dribbling at the half court area is a coaching decision.Steve spends more time with the team than anyone on this message board, so I take what he has to say is as near to the facts as possible.

All that happened with the head of MAC officials, Sam Liclighter. in attendance at the game.

Jackson High School plays at Green High on Tuesday the 23rd. I will be attending this game(my daughter is a Green cheerleader) and would love to see some of the ZN faithful help me cheer for Josh. I have to be real careful about not cheering for Jackson, but I can still cheer for Josh. I will buy tickets for the first 5 ZN members who send me a PM. The Game starts at 7:30.

Its my understanding that the clock is now controlled by on of the refs on the floor, not by someone on the scorers table.

I'm thinking he might need to add a few pounds before the NBA comes calling. I do admit though that he is the most impressive freshman I have seen this season.

It looks like the villagers are getting restless in Virginia. A couple of losses and now they are ready to fire the coach. They have some really high expectations down there. http://www.vcuramnation.com/forums/viewtop...?f=3&t=2617I look forward to hearing Districtballer's take on this one.

I'm sure I read that the team was not coming home after the BSU game, but straight on to Mt Pleasant. I wonder if they went to the Casino?

I think you should run out onto the floor the next home game so you can put KD in his place. I'm sure once you let him know he's on the "Hot Seat", the Zips will win out the rest of the season.

I just heard Gerry Faust would be the sideline reporter.

They are getting paid. They get a free four or five years of however many classes they care to take. Free room and board. Free books. Everybody else has to figure out a way to pay for the same thing.

Wow! No wonder freshmen have trouble seeing the floor.

Go Zips, you have my permission to give away the rest of your tickets.

Same answer here.The only thing I really complained about was the food quality at the concession stands. Everything I had was very dried out and lacking any flavor. Very bare bones as far as condiments and dressings.

Not that I have a problem with cool halftime routines (the panda plate lady was awesome), but who comes to a game to see the halftime entertainment? Why pay for something if it's not going to get people in the seats?Have you ever been to a Cavs game? Even though they have the greatest player in the NBA, they also have non-stop entertainment action going on before, during and after the game. It really does add something to the overall experience. If the Zips are ever going to draw the casual fan, they need more than just basketball.

Halftime? Anything would be an improvement over what we've seen so far. I don't think I can take another dance group or little dribbler"s team at halftime this season. Where's the Red Panda plate stacking lady?

In the standings but not at the bank.I think Saturday's game scared away a few hundred people from ever attending another Zips basketball game.I would guess that most of the reason for the bigger crowd on Saturday was due to the Hall of Fame inductions.
