  1. I wonder if Willie Jackson still has his Cadillac?
  2. They have flown to Dekalb in the past. The plane resembled the one in the movie Major League. I'd rather take the 6 hour bus ride.
  3. That arena in Dekalb is like playing in a big warehouse or barn. Throw in the fact that their attendance is right up there with Eastern makes for a scrimmage type feel. Not to mention the campus is surrounded by cornfields. It's an easy place to have a letdown.
  4. I would put the odds of CJ leaving the Zips at slim to none.
  5. The game was part of a double header at Rocket Mortgage arena in Cleveland that featured a game between OSU and WVU.
  6. Doubtful that photo is from 1892.
  7. Doubt you're going to hear Groce using any foul language on gamedays.
  8. Not likely. He hasn't participated in even one practice.
  9. Dawson was the top recruit of this years class. If he is eligible, look for him to get significant minutes after he gets some time to get acclimated. We will now have a legitimate 10 man rotation.
  10. #4 was actually the HOF drum and Bugle show. 15k attendance. All in the west stands.
  11. You're overthinking it. If somebody is open and has a good look they need to take the shot if it is within their role. Probably not going to see Reece firing up 3 pointers. Nor will you see LCJ trying to post up a defender.
  12. Facilities that host OHSAA playoff games get a rental fee and are allowed to keep all parking and concessions sales. The rental fee is the same for any game regardless of division or size of the stadium. OHSAA even sets the price you can charge for parking. For UA, the costs to staff these games are significantly higher than the average high school hosting site. It is a real crapshoot for UA to host. It is not a sure bet that they make a profit.
  13. Happened at the JAR. Not a pick up game. Pretty sure the incident is all on video.
  14. My bad Zipgrad. It is sad to see any kids career end that way.
  15. Lets clear some things up. KD did offer Nance a scholarship but his dad encouraged him to go to Wyoming. Larry Shyatt was a mentor to Nance sr and he felt that would be the best place for his son. As fars as McCollum is concerned, it is true that there was not a scholarship available for him. KD is a very loyal guy. Until the recent madness surrounding the transfer portal he would never dream of pulling a scholarship just to give it to another recruit.
  16. Dr Miller spoke at the Varsity A Hall of Fame induction this morning. A synopsis of his speech would be the importance of D-1 athletics at UA. He was a D-1 athlete himself. I seriously doubt there will be any meaningful changes to the status of UA athletics under his governance.
  17. Kid is a good practice player but really has no chance at seeing the court outside of garbage time. Trust me.
  18. Yes Van Horne is a baseball alum. Of course he wasn't thrilled about the dropping of baseball. That had more to do with a pissing match between head coach at the time and the university president at the time than anything else. Matt Wilson and several of the trustees were the driving force behind the return of baseball not Van Horne. The large donation was solicited by another member of the athletics development department, not Van Horne. That employee is a former KSU baseball player to boot! That donation came in well after the restart of baseball. No argument that the university is in the midst of a budget crunch. You are way overestimating Van Hornes power. All the actions above where at the behest of other powers at UA.
