The turning point of the game was the third down play where BSU had Lynch for what appeared to be a sack and he broke the tackle and scrambled for a first down. The following touchdown put NIU ahead and BSU was never able to regain the lead. Lynch is a great talent but I'm still not sure he is an NFL QB.

Pratt was looking for a D-1 basketball offer. When it became obvious that wasn't going to happen, he switched his focus to football. The week after Bowden was hired I saw George Van Horn at the JAR during a BB practice. He mentioned that they were scrambling for football recruits. I mentioned that Pratt might be worth a look. Bowden showed up at GHS the next day.The rest is history.

Having been to numerous practices I can state with pretty good confidence that Melo has no ability to hit an outside shot. He knows it too and thats why his offense consists of drives to the basket resulting blocks and turnovers. Evans needs to step up his game to the D-1 level. I think he can do it.

All I got out of this game was indigestion.

Unless Evans steps up his game this is going to be a tough season. Big Dog has been the highlight of this game for the zips.

I think BSU will knock off NIU.

That sounds about right to me. After getting beat by Can't a few years ago I doubt they are taking us lightly.

They did appear to be a little green behind the ears.

Too bad that you guys made the wrong career choices. I plan on staying up to watch and plan to sleep in the next day. Just like every day.

He did have only one turnover, but he allowed himself to be trapped in the corner on the inbounds play at least once and maybe twice requiring the use of a time out. I do agree that he is hopefully the long term answer at that position. I have confidence that KD can work with him to make better decisions with the ball.

Those damn Canadians again!

Way to man up Z.I.P.

On the radio after the game, KD said he planned on burning both the big guys red shirts tonite. Just didn't work out. Ugly win.

They got rid of the guy who made the screw ups. The new guy has much better credentials and a lot more experience in interpreting NCAA rules.

GoZips does........the clock and the scoreboard that is.

I only have one thing to say. In KD I trust. All he has done is win since he became the head coach. Until he falls flat on his face I am more than willing to accept that the decisions he makes are the right ones for UA basketball.

LZip, are you related to AKZipper?

Sometimes in the recruiting process the way to get a commitment from a player you really want is to assure them they will get playing time as a true freshman. KC was not highly recruited and was an after thought on a poor High school team. Big Dog was a highly sought after athlete in 2 sports.

I think we have tripled the # of hits on their board in the time since you made your post.

Because we are not a patsy who will roll over and play dead for them.

I think CC is in a for a little bit of the same thing that happened to the Zips when we played them last season. If you remember, it was the opening night for their new arena. The Zips were originally scheduled to play them later in the season but the game was moved up due to Marshall asking us to move our date with them. Throw into the mix the last minute suspensions of Tree and Harney and the loss of Q for the season and you had the perfect mix for an upset. I would think the team has a little bit of revenge in mind for Friday night. Now we will have a full crowd on top of all that. I love it.

Every season ticket holder got a voucher with their tickets that guarantees them one ring. All others who show up will be given a scratch off card that will let them know if they are going to get a ring. There will be a table(or two) set up to turn in your voucher to get a ring.

I already told you I wasn't sharing my meds with you.

Thats strange, I didn't notice you sitting next to me on my couch last Saturday? BTW, even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and then.
