My guess for yesterdays actual attendance is 3500 butts in the seats. Main reasons for lack of interest are Black Friday, early start time interfering with Black Friday shopping, 3 wins combined over the previous three seasons, cold weather.

Yeah, it really sucks when they make you sit in those high priced 50 yard line seats.

That was the most fun I've had at a Zips FB game in long time. That was the most fun I've had at a the Big Dialer EVER! I'm glad I brought my lucky charm to the game with me today. Might have to talk to Joe Dunn about spreading some magic dust on the field for next season. I sense a winning record in the near future.

The Raiders just executed your play perfectly Dr Z. But unfortunately the safety made the tackle preventing the touchdown.Two plays later the Cowboys intercepted a pass in the end zone. Net result-zero points.

Not sure where you're getting your information regarding scholarship commitments. NCAA rules prohibit member institutions from making early offers. Some institutions skirt this rule by making informal offers to underclassmen but until the schools accepts a letter of commitment by a student athlete on or after the designated dates there is no binding contract. http://www.ncsasports.org/blog/wp-content/...11/07/CBSA1.pdf . http://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/school...52_2/08_yen.pdf

Schools cannot publicly announce scholarship offers. The player can say that UM offered him but that does not mean it's official until signing day.

I was wrong. I'll stay out of this one.

All bow to the "Grate" one!

They have a couple of practice shooting machines like this one the players can use before and after workouts. The nets make you have to get some arc on the shot.

I could see that working out. Still not ready to see him off the basketball court yet.

You're not speaking for me. I would suggest you please take a deep breath and walk away from the keyboard before making a post like that.

Sometimes life sucks, you just have to keep moving forward. All those posters who wanted to see more of Khwan Cheatham just got their wish.

He sprained his ankle yesterday.

What about the Fumblerooski?

No problem. I wish I knew enough to come up with on that I knew would work. I guess my favorite one was the lateral to D'Orazio and then his pass from there for a TD. That was a cool play.

Now that I looked at your link I had a better view. I was mistaken about how many defenders are on the field. They are only missing one instead of two. It's still much easier to score on 10 instead of eleven guys. Where is the missing safety? Count for yourself.

Things will work out. In KD I trust.

Yeah, who would ever want a guy with great speed and athletic ability.

You forgot to account for the safety who will prevent your play from being successful. I only see 9 defenders in your scenario. I like the idea of the pump fake,and prefer JZ's play.

Excellent post LOZ. The soccer analogy is right on the money. I don't follow the Zips because I think they are going to win a national championship. I follow them because they are my team. I am proud to wear my "Blue and Gold colored glasses". The Zips don't owe me anything.

Unfortunately we are still feeling the effects of AA's selfish decisions last year. It's not like KD could just go out to the point guard store and buy a suitable replacement. It's painfully obvious now just how much he meant to the team. Myles was never meant to be a direct replacement, just a guy who could fill in for 5-8 minutes a game. Melo would have probably been run off like the others before him who couldn't perform up to KD's standards. Now we are stuck with these two and this will be a huge challenge for KD to get one of them or Q to turn into a workable PG. Their struggles are effecting the play of the entire team. With AA running the point this team would be 3-0 and looking like a top 40 team.
