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.

I agree. http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showtopic=8672

At least its only a Miniscus and not an ACLor PCL. I've had a torn Miniscus and although it was painfull it didn't structurally make it impossible to walk. 4 weeks recovery seems about right. I guess we will see what Bardo is made of now. :blink:

May karma bring you your dream home, on a very very nice private and scenic piece of land, after a life of hard work, and personal dedication to find it and work on it and to get it just the way you love it, and a few days after you have retired there, you will open a letter from the local government informing you that you need to accept the price offered to you for it because a new shopping mall will be moving in because the old one at the old location just isn't good enough to serve the 'greater good' of your community.Afterall, your life and your dreams and your property rights all must bow the the multitudes of people who want their starbucks and coldstone creamery.Like comparing apples and oranges in this case. These propeties are a bunch of run down shit holes. The buisnesses would be wise to reinvest nearby because lots of people will be checking out the new stadium in the next few years. The thing is that these people aren't going to be interested in some beer soaked shithole, they will flock to new and clean though. Manny should build a new place across the street.Apples and Oranges to you... it's still fruit no matter how you slice it. The fruit being the fact that someone else's subjective judgement decides whether you get to keep what you own.I guess this is where you and I disagree. As a buisness owner I would look at it as an opportunity to move up in life.

Finally some sane posts on this thread. Esp. the part about what a true "Bracket Buster" would look like. Along the same lines, I would rather see us get a home game against one of the BCS lesser knowns, who will get into the postseason based only on pedigree.

Earlier in the season ZW said he thought Nate Linhart was our MVP. I Agree. I would hate to see where this team would be at without Linhart. He has been our most consistant player in all aspects of the game this year. I would dare to say if his shot was more consistant he would be NBA material at the 2 guard. He has the ability to cover smaller faster guards as well as bigger forwards. For a 6-7 guy he has above average ball handling skills. He is my MVP.

11 & 12 year olds are what I am hearing.

Compared to Hipsher, KD is very patient. Was lasts nights game one to remember> NO. A week from now you won't even remember.

KD said on the post game show that it was his fault that B McNight played so poorly. It seems that with J Wood out they rode him too hard in practice the last 2 days. They were using him in the post during practice. They even had a practice yesterday and KD said Brett legs were gone.

I have it recorded on my DVR. If I can figure out how to make it work I will post the final few seconds on here. It looked to me like Mincy threw a punch at Quade.

The University is trying to get more students to the games. I know that for the OU game they gave free pretzels to the first 500 students and they also are sending the ROO Express buses to all the dorms and frat houses to provide free transportation to the JAR.

I'm not ready to call him our "Best Balhandler" just yet, but he is only a Freshman and has only played in 15 games to this point. I see ALOT of potential in this kid. The greatest attribute that KD has as a coach is the ability to get improvement from his players. Just let McNees get some more games under his belt.

I thought OU gave us their best shot and we were still able to get the W. The Bobcats put on quite a defensive performance to make the game so close. Good win Zips!

I haven't had a chance to look at the box score -- at least there should be a box score, unlike rosters, which didn't exist at the game today -- but my rough count was five catches by Jabari out of seven times the ball was thrown his way. The first ball was over his head, and the last one was high, off his fingertips. The strange thing -- not sure what was up -- but the stadium PA announcer called his name for recovering a fumble by the Kai (West) team. I don't think he was playing defense, but who knows?Did anyone see the game -- and my sign? I think I got on Versus midway through the second quarter, as the cameraman came right up to me in the front row. I have to say, this was the most fun I've ever had at a football game. The crowd was an average Can't State size, maybe 6-8 thousand. And most everyone around me had a relative playing in the game! We all had a ball interacting with the players in front of us. However, this may well be the final Hula Bowl game, as the size of recent crowds is MAC-sized, and little sponsor $$ seems to exist. Beside no rosters, there was NO halftime show. I've never been to any FB game without ANY halftime show, and the Hula Bowl always used to have a great presentation at the half. No more. Also, the jerseys must be used from previous years, as the numbers were washed out. The '5' in Jabari's '85' was barely legible on his back. This is actually my favorite game, ahead of the Pro Bowl, but it may not be around much longer. Shame.Arthur was the leading reciever for the East squad, 5 receptions for 88 yds. There is a nice photo in the Honalulu paper.http://starbulletin.com/2008/01/13/sports/story07.html

I think a more realistic scenario is they don't know what they are doing, or they don't have a real grasp of what players have done.As far as them eventually getting in, former NFL Zips should be the first in line. Especially if they have graduated. In almost every case, NFL experience is an indication of the quality of a player.There is no defense for John not getting in yet.Maybe you could give them a call or send them a letter outlining your concerns. I remember Buddenberg as an outstanding player also and I'm sure he deserves consideration. Most of the members are older, but I don't think they lack a grasp of Zips sports history. You could always volunteer your services to the nominating commitee and that would give you some insight into the selection process.

Outstanding post GZ. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
