The playing of the National Anthem at games being broadcast on live TV is controled by the broadcaster. When TWCSHD is there they have playing the anthem at around the 6 minute mark in the pregame countdown. At that point the team has already finished their first shoot around and are in the locker room for final pregame instructions. They usually re-enter the court at around the 3 minute mark. My only complaint is why can't the pep band arrive a little earlier to play the anthem instead of using the recording .

Lol Autocorrect strikes again!

I can't disagree with most of your post. But the biggest reason IMHO that we haven't moved forward is the lack of funding for the basketball program. All those programs you listed have one common denominator, the fact that they don't field a FBS football team. Several of them don't have football at all. Nor do they have additional womens programs that have to be funded to comply with Title 9. I'll leave it up to DIG to research, but I would bet that most of those programs spend at least twice what we spend on basketball. If we had the budgets they work with we could afford to buy some more home games against better opponents and have better travel arraignments for away games. I would even wager that we would have a nice new arena instead of a new football stadium. We are stuck in the classic case of the chicken and the egg. With out more funding we will never advance and draw more fans. With out more fans we will never have enough funding to advance. I'm really beginning to hate football more and more.

Toledo has played to the level of their competition all season. I expect them to be ready to play on Wednesday.

Josh won't be redshirting.

For us old folks, what the hell is "tinder"?

Some notes about Kwan, the reason he takes so many 3 point shots is because the staff wants him to take them. On most of our offensive sets his job is to play the high post and look to feed the ball to Pat or Big Dog. He rarely crashes the offensive boards because it is his job to get back on defense to prevent easy baskets in transition by the opponent . A good number of his blocks are made in the transition game. I agree that sometimes his shot selection is a little suspect,but overall he neds to keep shooting and playing defense.

Step away from the ledge big fella.

I contracted Epstein-Barr when I was about 28 years old. It took me at least 6 months before I got my energy back. One of the biggest risks when you have the disease is an enlarged spleen. You really don't want to engage in any type of contact sport out of fear of rupturing your spleen.

Jimmy Hall has Mono. I feel bad for the kid. I'm thrilled for the Zips. Can't State basketball loses Jimmy Hall indefinitely with mononucleosis

We only shot 6 free throws and we scored 82 points!

The ZipsWin curse strikes again! He looked good on TV though.

I gave up years ago trying to decide the quality of football recruiting classes for the Zips. Unless we sign a kid who decided to stay home and gave up a scholarship to a BCS level school, the players we sign are all projects IMHO .

Greensboro lost 52-50 in 4 overtimes.

Proof that Tom Brady is a classy guy.

Report: Only one of Patriots' 12 balls were under-inflated by two pounds

More class from the Seahawks.

I was thrilled that the Seahawks lost. They are the most arrogant team in the NFL . The players , the coaches and the fans. From Shermans antics after the game last year,to the run up to this years game (I'm only here so I don't get fined), to the bad sportsmanship in the last 18 seconds of this years game. Pete Carrolls strategy of committing a penalty on every play because the officials can't /won't call one on every play. I would have been rooting for whoever their opponent was.

Nance jr chose Wyoming because their coach Larry Shyatt was Nance Sr's coach when he played at Clemson .

Zips played most of the game like they had lead weights on their ankles. I'll take the win, but if we play this on Saturday we will lose .

It takes a while for Nick to wear out his welcome. Playing just 1 season at FSU is perfect for him and the coach.

I expect that there will be a good crowd for the game. 1st one thousand fans receive a free purple t-shirt.

If you think college officiating is bad, you should attend a few high school games to see what really bad looks like.

There is going to be a much better marketing program for football this year . The planning has already started and there is a new person in charge . That person reads this forum on a regular basis and has taken note of what the members have suggested .
