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.

Your link requires a membership to view. Could you just cut&paste the contents here.

The fans are looking right past the Zips. There is no discussion about the matchup. Just a little tune up until the real teams arrive in the bracket.

I recorded the game on my DVR. Now iff I could figure out how to make a copy onto a dvd or computer I could post some footage here.

Blue & Gold I watched Humpty play on tv today and I have to agree that this kid is incredible! He could be the best PLAYER EVER to play here. He is really quick, can dribble at full speed and bob and weave with ease. He consistantly threw 3/4 court passes to Chambers for layups to beat Polands press. He has a sweet soft shot and can pullup or drive and hit the reverse layup in amongst the big guys. I think he plays alot next year, talent like that doesn't sit for long.

Yes

Thats the idea guys! Keep it up.

We all need to go over to Ohio.com and post our feelings about this on the comments section for the article. If enough of us do it the story will appear on the most read section on the front page of ohio.com.http://www.ohio.com/sports/16634806.html

I take that back, McCleod may not of been a head case at McKinley. I got that mixed up with his college days. At BGSU he all kinds of problem his first 2 yrs. I think everybody had problems with Dakich. When Dakich realized how good he was, he layed off of him.I know Keith personally and he is no head case. He is a pretty soft spoken guy and maybe took awhile to adjust a BG, but no head case.

Be carefull about where you stand looking for that ticket. The university is cracking down on scalping tickets outside the JAR. I'd bet that there will be a couple of officers on the lookout for scalpers.

I am a Green resident and my son is involved in the youth football program started by McVickers. http://www.greenfootball.org/index1.asp With that being said, it was time for coach to go. He is too "old school" for todays footbal to take Green to the next level. His style could be described as harsh and I think that is being kind. He also had an annoying practice of only playing around 15 or so players, which resulted in alot of late game collapses. This season he complained how he had no experienced lineman, but they were mostly seniors and juniors who had been with the program and had not gotten ant playing time the season before. I love coach, but it was time to go.

The supposed home court advantage we get from the building itself is a myth. Just ask Coleman Crawford or Dan Hipsher. Good coaching is the difference, our belief that we will win every game in our house.

WINNER!

I Guess

Forget the post. The whole thread is worth reading...especially page two.This is the final straw for me as far as Mollutt somehow trying to pass himself off as a Zips fan. The sweaters have really shown how low class they really are in that thread. =>News to me. I have never noticed Mollutt passing himself off as a Zips fan. My point is that you post crap like that on the Miami board and then come over here and try to act like nothing happened.

ok so he sits him when opponents pick up on his bad defense, why not. Ride his hot hand until his defense is exposed, nothing wrong with that.How much is he gonna score in 1 minute.

Timmy, I think you're missing a few zeros there on that upgrade to the sewer system. I think it's more in the neighborhood of $700 million. Akron has alot of combined sanitary and storm sewers. every time there is a big rain, the water from the storm sewers overwhelms the treament plant and the excess is dumped directly into the Cuyahoga river. The EPA has been threatening legal action for years. I think the mayor sees a way to shift the liability and blame for future cost increases away from the city and onto the shoulders of some corp.
