  1. Keep working it inside...beat them inside...
  2. No life on defense-- crazy. Just letting Can't drive to the hoop. And we are not working inside at all-- they are really being intense on defensively but c'mon-- we look totally lost. What was with that last 2 possessions-- like we hadnt run the offense before.CMON ZIPS! DONT FOLD LIKE THIS!!!
  3. Anyone on or are all of you at the Q?OFFENSIVE BOARDS. Gotta keep Cant from getting rebounds.
  4. I think the game is webcast... go to the MAC site and it you can get it I think
  5. I raise the Ohio State possibility because they played at Cincinnati a few seasons ago and are playing Toledo in Cleveland in 2 years so they have demonstrated a willingness to play non-BSC Ohio teams, out of Cowlumbus, if the price is right. Tressel is an alum, its a special occassion, and with the right guarantee, it is not entirely out of the realm of possibility, though highly unlikely. Maybe they could honor Jim Dennison which could be a little extra motivation for Tressel because they are close. Clearly there would have to be a real guarantee for them (won't they make around $500K on the Cleveland game?) and a ton of political and relationship arm twisting to have any chance of pulling something like that off. I disgree on the nightmare scenario-- I think there would be a groundswell of support for the Zips, which is precisely the reason to do it. Remember when Huggins' Zips played at Ohio State and led at the half? The score was announced at the Coliseum during a Cavs game and the crowd went wild. Given the mutual antipathy of Cleveland and Cowlumbus, I still think that Ohio State's fan base in NEO is (incredibly) wide but shallow. My point is that there has to be a concentrated effort at disrupting the default thinking of NEOhio football fans-- something that really shakes up the mental model and drives re-consideration. Winning consistently is price of entry-- we need the right home schedule, great marketing, and other elements to all work together. Kentucky alone isn't going to do it. We need something splashy and impressive that signals intended direction and confidence. BTW, is it at all realistic to have this project done by 2009? Anyone know anything about the ancillary development around the project that was mentioned in the video piece?
  6. Under current assumptions is the stadium ready for the the '09 or '10 season?Does anyone know if efforts are underway to secure an incredible home schedule that season (such as bringing in Ohio State and other BCS teams?). Granted, securing OSU would be a long shot but there has to be way...probably involving a very large guarantee...but regardless, we need to put together a home schedule that changes perceptions and gives real reason for consideration by NEOhio college football fans.Also, would still love to get a West Coast game in the next few years. Toledo has somehow secured a home and home with Arizona.
  7. Livingston either ignores or is generally dismissive in tone of the Zips-- I remember a few years ago he made a jab-- I think in an article about drafting Frye-- that Akron wasn't about to be confused with Toledo's program. It is pleasantly surprising that he has now written 2 whole articles about the Div 1 schools in NEOhio-- but he can't help but damn them with faint praise, particularly the Zips. The only thing that will change that is getting to, and some place, in the tourney and/or notching some wins over BCS schools in football.
