I'm afraid if they removed it the seats might collapse!

I've had the good fortune of calling Joe Dunn a friend for more than 20 years now. Joe is a Zips guy all the way. It wouldn't surprise me if Joe did take a swipe at someone he thought was showing disrespect for his Zips. The fact that our broadcast crew are homers is what should be expected, if they weren't I would be worried.

.GP, you really should watch the news every now and then. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true

What do soccer coaches do other than fill out the line up card. It's like being manager of an American League baseball team. There, GP1, I fixed your post for you. I'm sure you are just joking, right? Dissing the best sports program the Zips have is not what you intended, right? Right?

Somebody better tell Brookhart that he might want to figure out a way to win a home game. A nice crowd on a beautiful night and we lay another egg.

It's amazing what a person will do to get back from an injury. If you really wanted to play, you might even try some over the counter meds.

Wagner transferred to Walsh.

I'm guesssing around $7/hr.

Someone should tell this #@^%&$# that the Zips did win a MAC football championship in 2005. :blink:

I think he may have stubbed his toe!

He's not. Move on. Questions about Bain in 2008 are as useful as one's regarding David Harvey.Barring a miracle, forget about Bain in 2008.Yeah, fine Cap'n, but why? Why does it seem somehow verboten on the board for (1) all of us to ask about the mystery behind Bain's status, and (2) for those who represent themselves as bring "in the loop" to discuss what's going on with the kid. Until there is a sense that we have some clue as to what's going on with Bain, the questions will continue. SeeTeeZipperBain has a "Reactive Stress Fracture" and will likely not play this year. Thats the best I can give you, because thats all I know. Yes, I have a very good source for this info, but this injury is not a simple thing like a sprain or twisted knee.

Just got back home from the game. All I can say is wow, what a disappointment. This game was winable, but questionable calls ruled the day. I'm not just talking about the refs either. What was JD thinking when he ordered a punt block attempt when we had them buried near the goal line? Set up for the return and you get the ball at the 50 at worst. Why do we try to throw a 30 yd pass on 3rd down when all we need is 1yd? The kicking game cost us the game. Igor was awful and Stec wasn't much better. Jones needs to make more fair catches instead of letting the ball bounce off the turf. if 5 plays go our whay, we win.

He is done for the year. It's a miracle that Odofin is going to play at all. He is full of metal rods and other assorted hardware from his accident.

They are spending all their time trying to justify keeping Chris Singletary and Tyree Evans on their BB roster. :blink:

All Ray did was leave for a better position. It had nothing to do with his relationship with KD. Ray came here from another program and the nature of these type of positions is transitory to begin with.

My feelings exactly Go Zips. No more politicising of the news, either towards the right or left. Don't worry though, they are "Ohio's Newspaper" after all. I'm sure all their subscribers in Columbus will carry them through this rough time.

After reading this, UA coach sees little to cheer, Brookhart unimpressed after closed scrimmage http://www.ohio.com/news/top_stories/27214514.html I'm really starting to question whether JD will survive this season. If you watch the videos posted by Rasor, one might get the impression that JD is seeing the handwriting on the wall concerning his future as HC of the Zips. Lots of negative vibes in those videos and the newspaper stories.

Kade Wagner, #3 on the depth chart last week, has transferred out to Walsh.

Good luck to Ray and his family on their recent move to Wisconsin. Ray has accepted a similar position with the Badgers BB team. I had the pleasure of coaching Rays son Tyree in the last few years and you couldn't meet a nicer family. The Zips will have to look hard to find a replacement to match up to Rays expertise.

One of the schools in my local district was vahdalized about 2 weeks ago. They broke in and spray painted the walls with slogans that made it appear that it was done by fans of our rival. This week they arrested three people and all three were students(present&former) of our district. Crazier things have happened.http://www.thesuburbanite.com/news/x147091...andals-arrested

My source tells me that the depth chart looks like this;#1 Chris Jacquemain#2 Matt Rodgers#3 Kade Wagner#4 KC Patterson#5 Jordan MillerI don't care who, but one of these guys needs to step up in the next week and take command of the position. Another year of poor quarterbacking and JD will be packing his bags.

Nice write-up in todays Canton Repository.http://cantonrep.com/index.php?ID=424080&a...ubCategoryID=26

At least his employer has directed him to write SOMETHING about this event. The ABJ could have a writer cover this but it doesn't fit their agenda of hate.

Well, I have put it off long enough, its time to renew my football tickets. For this year its pretty staight forward($75X5tix=$375+$100donationZAC) $475 for my 5 seats. Where it gets interesting is trying to figure out what it will cost me to keep the same seats at the new stadium. They want me to buy both seasons now and only pay 40% upfront with the balance due next June. They say I will save $65 by agreeing. They sent a seating chart and section I am eligable for is pretty small(priotity reserved) but carrys a huge price premium. I have been spoiled by 39 years of 50 yard line seats and would like to be able to keep them, but not at any cost. They want $320 per ticket. By my math that works to $225 per ticket for the 2009 season at Infocision. Thats a 300% price increase. :blink: What to do?

Capacity was dropped when they discovered that the enclosed end of the Rubber Bowl was slowly collapsing. At first they tried pumping thousands of yards of concrete under the stands to stabilize the hillside, but it was not succesful. That is why the blue tarp was installed to cover those seats.
