Need to get this Zip Grad to a tailgate this fall!

Thanks to a-zip for the pic regardless of the logo. Any time Bun E. Carlos makes an appearance on ZipsNation it is a welcome event.

These said "Ohio Polytechnic Institute" on the back.

"The Brad Stevens Copycat Effect"

Thanks! Red_Blue_Gray_rules for those interested

Eligible for 2016, or being grayshirted? Any idea?

So beginning in 2017 the Zips start receiving $800,000 instead of $80,000? That isn't an all-encompassing Savior, but it's about 25% of a Savior. I'll take it. Now the burden of filling the stadium is lessened a bit. Averaging 20k butts in seats, plus the ESPN money, plus the P5 away game(s) would pretty much get the Zips program to the break even point. Let's see what Williams can do.

Awesome! Just in time for our Fiesta Bowl game!

Former Zips Pitcher Begins 6-1 for LSU His next 2 outings...not so hot.

Grand Canyon Soccer Looks like the lone cupcake on an otherwise highly-competitive slate.

I'd be glad if Ozzy Osbourne sang the national anthem at the Zips-Appalachian State game while Erin Andrews sat on my lap.

Regarding football attendance - I contend football attendance is irrelevant to-date because: 1.) We've sucked to-date. 2.) We've had poor Athletic Department leadership throughout InfoCision's existence. Give Bowden a couple years of winning before using the football attendance as a reason to drop divisions. And Williams a few years to see if he brings to the table what Wistercill did not. Regarding basketball: What's easier for the Zips - 1.) Finishing 1st or 2nd in the MVC? 2.) Winning the MAC? The MAC is the easier road to the NCAA tourney. And the NIT.

Ever see someone dump $6,000 into a car with a resale value of $3,000? It happens in D1 athletics too, just on a larger scale. We hired Tom Wistercill 6 years ago. Do you make an AD hire like that if you're planning to jump to a higher-level conference?

Our President says he'd consider moving football to 1-AA. He openly wishes we had a smaller stadium. Basketball hasn't won an NCAA tourney game of any type in nearly a decade. Enjoy the MAC.

Sounds like you need to take an introspective moment or two to re-evaluate if this forum is for you.

Pick #165 to Kansas City. They seem to be aware of Zips with legit NFL potential.

Steelers' "Ideal 4th Round Pick"

After leaving The Townhouse at 2:30 am...

Maybe he gets some good advise and pointers on what he needs to do to improve his game to make the NBA-level, and he actually gets better? Maybe he's more driven than ever before?! Then, we're screwed.

20-something years ago, that banner would be hanging in my Brown Street basement.

Malano to be a Zip Side note: If the Bizzarro name sounds familiar, his older brother was a Brookhart recruit with blazing 4.2 40-yard dash speed. He never made it on campus. Malano video Senior season - Had 40 carries for 220 yards, and then was injured.

How did Middle Tennessee get one in 2013? In a year when the Zips beat them? I'll buy the fact that the Zips will not get at-large consideration if they don't merit it (like this season). They shouldn't. But it is impossible to deny they would receive at-large consideration, and possibly a bid, if they did merit it. MTSU is the proof. It is indisputable.

Did he mean DJ Jones? Has he even carried a ball in 2 years? RB is a concern to me. Hundley and Chisholm were serviceable, dependable backs. But Bowden is emphasizing "big play" offensive guys this year, and what we have in the backfield today is either unproven, or has been on the roster for 4 years and done little. I really hope Ball is a baller. Bowden has never really utilized the RB much. So it's not a deal-breaker if we don't have a game-breaker at that position. But it sure would be nice. It's been a decade since we had an RB that was a threat to make 1st or 2nd team all MAC.
