Watch it now, I can't help it we put more people in our "HS Stadium" every week then the Zips.Also can't help it that 21,000 seats and a 35+ loges aren't good enough for you guys.When you have a nicer stadium than us, then you can talk about this stadium stuff and YSU, but right now, YSU>AKRON>Can't State. Eguins, Isn't it time for you to go home? The street lights are on and I hear your mom calling.

Nice post ZW.

Ok, The YSU game is now over. If you guys want to discuss the state of YSU sports DO IT ON YOUR OWN BOARD!

They were "Clickers" for "Cricket"McLaughlin. I still have a couple in the basement. You know the type, made out of metal and fits in the palm of your hand. The noise was pretty loud and annoying.

Are you serious! They could care less about what the paying customer thinks.

They didn't announce it but Marie Antoinette is now in charge of customer relations for the atheletic department.

You have to realize that this is what you get when you deal with a Government agency. There is no motive for profit and no accountability so this is what you get.

That is the perfect stadium! Check out this link to see what I mean. http://www.ellerbebecket.com/portfolio_template_121.htmlThat is exactly what i have envisioned for a long time. The brick facade, the grass end zone and believe it or not a definite "RubberBowl" feel. Look at the phot of the press bow and it kinda reminds me of the RB. In all seriousness that is a fantastic stadium that I think everyone could be proud of.

It was obvious that CJ was not going to play unless Gesty was injured. I was watching him on the sidelines and he spent time practicing holding for place kicks, walking around while the first team O was getting coached between series and calling in the plays when we had the ball. The game was Getsy's to win or lose on senior day.

Skip-Zip, I was there and that was more than 5k in the stands. My guess would be in the 10-12k range of actual bodies in seats. All those empty seats in the reserved sections are probably sold to corporations and are counted towards attendance. Iv'e been sitting in that section for 36 years and its always been like that.

Thanks for the update CK. I've been working like a dog for the last few months and haven't made it to many Zips games and kept up on things. 3:30pm still doesn't help me but at least the correct time is now out there.

I would like to know who thought a 1pm game time on the day after Thanksgiving was a good idea. I will not be able to attend, because like thousands of others , I will be at work on the busiest shopping day of the year. A 7pm start would have been much better. Anyone want a good deal on 9 reserved seats?

Brinson has not taken the SAT/ACT yet.

Ryan Brinson has not taken the SAT/ACT yet. I would compare him to another former Zips Canton McKinley recruit, Antowan Hight. He has alot of talent but will likely not qualify academically.

"Rybak - He looks real good. He looks in real good shape compared to last year. Still has a nice shot. He may even be our starter at the 3 position. He really will be in the hunt for major minutes this year. He knows the system real well and it looks like he plays within his abilities."Are you sure that you haven't mixed up Linhart and Rybak? Linhart is the starter at small forward unless Conyers really comes on strong during camp. Rybak seems to be more of a shooter and less of an all around player.

KD was giving Bardo and McKnight alot of attention last night. Its obvious that the team needs the 2 freshmen to make a contribution early and KD is going to make it happen.

Got my order form in the mail today!

Write it down FIRST ENERGY FIELD and get used to it cause its gonna happen!

You mean FIRST ENERGY FIELD ?

If we hab recovered the onside kick Jackson would have seen some playing time.

Works fine for me.

He has a "Stinger" and will be ready to go for the Can't game. I think the coaching staff felt it was more important that he was at 100% for the flushes.

All I can say about this kid is WOW!!!! How did he slip through the cracks to us? He is one electrifying player. He might be leading the nation in KO returns after tonite.

I thought the students did a great job tonite. You could hear them easily from the bench. I have been going to Zips football for 37 years and tonite was the first time it felt like we really had a student section.

From what I hear Wood is in great shape. He has no pain and no swelling. The team has been conducting their own "mini camp" and bringing the newcomers along as to the level of effort needed to play KD's game. Mcnees is a little soft and will need some time in the weight room, but all in all things are looking great.
