Kinda like this guy!

When I was looking in the mirror this morning while shaving, I asked him and he said it was OK with him!

I was just joking about them covering their bet in Vegas. I would just like to see some more consistent calls.

We played Ohio State in the NIT in 1989.It was a very tight game. OSU had Treg Lee, Chris Jent and I believe Jay Burson? The Zips Eric McLaughlin blew out his knee late after being thrown under the scorers table by an opposing player, and we couldn't recover.Instead of OSU, we would stand a very good chance of playing Dayton or Cincinnati should we end up in the the 2010 NIT.If your point is only that you'd rather be in the NCAA tourney than the NIT...or that participating in the NCAA tourney is more exciting than the NIT...why bother posting it? Who wouldn't rather be in the NCAA over the NIT? No one.Fixed.Fixed again.A lot of beers between March of '89 and March of '10. Feel free to correct post inaccuracies at any time. Now back to the beer... Does your boss know your drinking on the job?

Even after loosing the Cricket, Anthony Buford almost singlehandedly willed the Zips to a win over the suckeyes. Buford outplayed Burson in a big way. That was also Huggins last game as the coach.

I always thought that was the definition of Jamie Bosley. Eh?Bosley had a real knack for drawing fouls. He wasn't very tall, but he was fearless inside around the basket. He really knew how to use the backboard and all the angles to avoid getting his shot blocked. He may have been an a$$, but he was our guy so it didn't matter!

Bo Boroski Mike SanzereJerry Sauder My guess would be these three guys for Friday.

I think that Peggy Elliot would have gladly taken UA athletics back to D2 if she could have.

What color would you like your hair to be after we win?

My favourite call when D-rob was fouled shooting 3. The refs call 3 free throws. D-rob shoots the first 2 and then the refs decided to review the play on TV to find out if it was 2 or 3 Aren't you supposed to do that before the first 2 free throws???Even the TV announcers couldn't stop themselves from commenting on how uneven the officiating was. The traveling call with .8 seconds left was a joke. Maybe the refs needed to cover their bet in Vegas.

thats pretty impressive, except that we havent even won 7 mac road games. infact we are 6-2 on the road in the mac and have won 5 mac road games in a rowThe Zips have won their last 7 MAC games in a row.

I think they still have one more season at Anderson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroh_Center

You driving? Pick me up at I-71 and the Turnpike.

It was on TV. I remember watching. I doubt there are any copies out there. The VCR had just been introduced the year before, most people did not have one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax

Sounds like he should fit in here with no problems.

Maybe it's just early, but I'm not sure I understand this.What you're really saying is that if the Zips just won every game, the selection committee would have a hard time passing them up?From what I've read, anything less than perfection is not acceptable to certain ZN members!

Bring back Greg Rockich, he was like a good luck charm for Huggins.

+1I would hope that now there is no pressure to have to win in order to get a bye, we should be loose as goose. Just go out and have fun. Its a lot more fun to win than to lose.

I think Ronnie would see more PT if his defense improved. He was late getting back several times last night if I remember correctly, with one resulting in Zekes 4th foul. I really like what he brings to the offensive end. His ability to penetrate is a real pluse.

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.
