The field was being prepped yesterday. Work on the pitchers mound and home plate areas being done.

Also there was quite a large contingent of Zips fans at that game due to it being a homecoming game of sorts for 4 players on the Zips roster.

The main reason VCU was able to jump from the CAA to the A-10 and also the reason we are stuck in the MAC. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCU_Rams_football "The VCU Rams football team is a club team that represents Virginia Commonwealth University in football. "

You're living in fantasy land if you think any MAC AD or the MAC commissioner has power to persuade the tournament selection committee into makingthe MAC a 2 bid league.

Buddy Mayborg would have screwed up the call.

The staff opted to spend the night in Kzoo instead of bussing home after the game as originally planned. Smart move that should help with sleep schedules.

His voice was very raspy from all the shouting during the game. He was running up and down the sideline coaching the heck out of the guys during those final few minutes. They also interviewed Utomi and Cotton. Daniel said the team never lost faith that they could come back for the win. That this is a new Zips team than the one that lost those games at the beginning of MAC play. Cotton said never in his basketball career had a coach drawn up a play at the end of a game for him to take the final shot. He also said he had never had a chance to win or lose a game at the foul line at the end like last night. Pretty heady stuff for a guy who a few members of ZN.o had written off as a lost cause.

Hell will freeze over first.

Good thing Dean Wormer let Virshon off double secret probation.

The A-10 schools have a definite advantage in recruiting over the MAC in Ohio and Pa. No need to travel all the way to Texas.

Ohio has 11 million in population and 13 D-1 programs. All of which are mid-majors or higher. Texas has 28 million in population and 21 D-1 schools. 6 of those schools are low level D-1 or branch campuses. Ohio is also surrounded by states with large numbers of D-1 schools.

Why don't you enlighten us as to the grievous behavior that allegedly got him suspended 2 times?

Relationships are with coaches not schools. Just because those kids ended up at UA doesn't mean the new staff can just go to Houston and expect the same results overnight.

The odds of him getting any meaningful pt next year is pretty slim. The amount of practice and time away from class makes it tough to justify being on the team if you're not going to play.

Not likely. The Zips had success in Houston because Dambrot realized that the area was a hotbed of mid level d-1 recruits. The Houston area is huge(6.2million) and growing fast. Add into that, there are relatively few d-1 schools in Texas. A plan was made that Charles Thomas would heavily recruit the area. It took several years for the results to materialize. Our current staff is more likely to look for talent flowing through the prep school system.

Akron Family Restaurant is the official unofficial gathering place for UA sports teams.

The guy who probably would have gotten my vote is Sayles. Unfortunately his injury sidelined him just as he was really starting to make his presence shown. With that said, Utomi has shown the most improvement. Last year he was a bit player but this year he has been asked to do so much more and responded well.

Alvarez is an extreme longshot. He has some demands we probably can't meet.

Correct

11.5 for a 35 player roster.

I will say it again, Buddy Mayborg is the worst official in the MAC. KD had many run ins with this idiot during his time here. Arrogant SOB ref.

On the bus ride home the guys are not going to be thinking about the loss. They are going to be thinking about how coach went off on that ass hat ref!

Go away troll.

Buddy Mayborg is the worst ref in the MAC.

Never mind.
