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.

They are getting a free six figure education. I agree with coach K's letting them go if they cant follow the rules. As for her not commenting on the departing players statements, she is handling that correctly also. Do you really think it would be good for the program for her to spill any dirty laundry on what really happened to the media? Let them say their piece and move on. Hilltopper, with all due respect, this "following the rules" thing is a big joke that people in charge can use according to their needs. One person cannot make the rules and judge who is following them and who is not. At least not in this country, maybe in China or Sudan but not here.I would love to see the the athletic department forming a hearing committee to listen to what those girls have to say. Or maybe the university making a judicial board to hear both sides of the stoy.Try that theory out with your boss. I am sure that all UA athletes sign a code of conduct that clearly outlines their responsibilities to remain in the program. This is not a criminal case in the judicial system.

I'm sure it would be a foot stomping, clip board slapping good time. :blink:

We were just scouting the Sophmores. I think we found one, but I didn't catch his name.

Cal still owes him $1mil for next year. I doubt he would take a lesser paying job and give up the $$$.

It appears he is gone. http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/10745070

Good call ZW. Wouldn't want Zips Nation to cause any problems for the Zips sports programs.

They all have what I call 'Chrissy Hynde" disease. :blink: You know, My City Is Gone, Disease. Nothing can change, it must always be as it was in my blissfull youth.

I only hope the Nemer's are paying attention to this and will now settle before they go to trial.

ZW, I think you are being too modest. You have accomplished exactly what we talked about on that day in front of Porkys. This site is a wonderful example of free speech, without all the name calling and acrimony I see on other sites. Keep up the good work!

This is my 35th year of attending Zips BB as a season ticket holder. Dambrot is not a "horrible game coach". Unless you have some inside info as to what the status of each player is reguarding injuries, weaknesses and such, anything you have to say about coaching decisions is pure conjecture. After watching Hipsher ruin the confidence level of every player he recruited and watching Crawfords total lack of recruiting ability destroy what little winning tradition we established in the Huggins era, KD has been a breath of fresh air. I suspect that there are hundreds of other programs that would love to have KD making those same "horrible decisions" for their program. Bottom line; the players play the game, the coach can only try to put them in a position to win. Yesterday we were in a position to win, the players didn't make the plays. This was a great season, we were only picked for 4th in the east and we overacheived. I cant wait till next year.

or maybe someone who runs the site has a problem with opinions which are against what they believe....kinda goes against the whole point of a "open forum"Your mistaken if you think this is an "Open Forum" and you can say whatever you want. The reality is that ZW graceousley provides us Zips fans with a place to share our common passion. The fact is that Zips Nation is private property and the owners can do as they please. There no such thing as right to "Free Speech" on a web forum. If you don't like it, you can always start your own site where you can say what ever you want. KD is the best thing that has happened to Zips basketball since Huggins left 20 years ago.

It seems you've stirred up a hornets nest over at the UMass boards. :blink: http://umasshoops.com/board/index.htm ConU fans never cease to amaze... Apparently this meathead didn't see the puke-on-Memphis game where mumbles admitted he was the reason they "didn't play" (ducked) UMass during the Calipari era. He also must have missed the last time the two teams played.

Some of the FSU fans are finally giving us our due. http://floridastate.rivals.com/showmsg.asp...061&style=2

Comment of all time!:: Akron reminds me of Duke.Puke!If only. Or, "Take THAT Coach K! At least one of them has a clue.

You missed a great college basketball game. It was just on ESPN Classic. You should have seen it. The Zips (a team from Ak-RON, apparently) played their ASSES off defensively. They totally shut down three excellent ACC guards on their home court. We had this guy...his name is Rick Smiles...Dick Lyles...something like that...but the guy went Larry Bird on the Seminoles...scored something like 13 of the Zips final 14 points!I hope someone you know TiVo'd the game. If you're a Zips fan, you'll LOVE it.Ahh yes, and masterfully coached by Ken Dimbrat.
