I think the sport in serious trouble if there is no solution to the concussion issue in the next 10 years. Parents are not going to let little Johnny play and eventually the sport will die out. Only a major advance in protective head gear will change this. Most of the parents of my son's friends who are playing right now regret the day they let their kids start to play.

Thanks for finding that Zach. It brought a tear to my eye reading it. Truth!

Melo is only a few classes short of graduation. I hope he stays at UA long enough to get his degree. The team is in much better shape at point guard than we were at this point last year. He would have been nice to have around as a backup.

Broke his right hand.

Sorry about that. I was so focused on the coaches show I didn't make my post clear enough.

Because of the coaches reputation of putting a consistent winning team on the floor.

The coaches show.

Great update CK.

The Media has made their choices. Toledo was picked for the MAC West champions and to win the MAC Tournament. I believe that if Big Dog is able to overcome his injury we will win it all. It is an odd numbered year after-all. Men's Basketball Selected as MAC East Favorite in Media Poll

I wouldn't bother tuning in then if I were you. Trust me on this one.

Before the taping of the show, Bowden and Joe Dunn discuss what the content of the show will be. The show is designed to make the program and the HC look good so I doubt you are going to see any criticism of either. All the footage is provided by the university and Joe's job is to ask leading questions so the coach can get his message across. This show is not independently produced but is just a marketing platform by UA. When was the last time you heard a tough question on this type of program? Never.

The host of the show has zero input as to the content of the show. He is a paid announcer who is given a script to follow. It's the way that every coaches show is done. It's not 60 Minutes.

My son was devastated yesterday when he heard the news about coach Pete. When ever he would see my son with me, Pete would always take the time to have a meaningful conversation and answer any questions he had about coaching the Zips. Most coaches are somewhat guarded in what the will say but not coach Pete. Always a smile and a positive attitude. A big loss to our program.

It's with a heavy heart that I must report than Dan passed last night. He was as prepared as anyone I have ever met to make his way to Heaven. Please keep his family in your prayers as they work their way through this difficult time. RIP Dan Peters, a wonderful human being.

Are you 2 channeling Earnest Angley now?

The wing position is still unsettled at this point. Gladden, Jake and Reggie are the contenders. So is the 2 guard. Reggie, Deji, Antino and Nyles are in the mix.

"The restaurant didn't lose money because you had to buy a drink for half-price"

Or the owner figured out that he wasn't actually making a profit selling sushi and alcohol for half price. Sometimes less is more.

I think the season hinges on three things. The play of the 2 freshman point guards, the play of the 2 red shirt freshmen (Jackson/Gladden) and whether Big Dog's hand heals enough to play.

Selling tickets for $5 or less for all those years (acme-Zip) convinced Joe Akron that is all we are worth. It will take years to convince them otherwise.

Only if team E's quarterback gets busted selling 5 lbs of weed the week before the game.

It's gonna be a long wait.
