Captain Kangaroo

Thanks to the date change there will be 3 empty seats in my section. Mine. It sucks.

Especially considering he was rated the third best returning QB on our own team in September 2015!

I think the preseason cupcake buffet didn't do a great job of preparing this team for the MAC season. It took us a few games to remember what it takes to win in conference play. Big Dog has been outstanding. Whether it's driving to the hole, or kicking the ball out, he's making good, quick decisions. He's as aggressive inside as any Zip I've seen since Jeremiah Wood. I agree that KD & staff deserve a lot of credit for getting the Zips back on track. His rotations have been good...no player can complain they're not getting a chance at extended PT. I think that's keeping everyone motivated. They're stomping teams like they should. And playing solid D...at least as solid as is possible in today's Arm Bar Era. I hope Kwan's back on track. He was pretty much invisible for two months, but has looked like he's reborn over the past couple games. I think it's obvious we will live and die by the three, but we have enough guys that can shoot it that we get a ton of open looks...so why not? Over the course of the game we hit our share of dry spells, but over a full 40 minutes it seems like other teams can't keep up. Big game tonight. OU has laid some major whuppin's on us at the Convo over the years. But we're rolling and our veterans are playing well. I say Zips by 8.

I like the announcer talking about K.e.n.t's "Spicer-Hall Combination."

I don't recall too many greyshirts from Bowden, if any? There are non-qualifiers who sit out 1 year and enter as Sophs, redshirts who sit and enter as Frosh, and prep school kids.

I love that the local kids are buying into the Program. I love that a classy former Zip like Marques Hayes is proactive in getting his East High players to play their college ball at home. I hope former Zip, now Saint V Coach Marcus Whattley has that same enthusiasm about funneling kids to his alma mater.

Elton Alexander's pick as the #1 team in the MAC sits at 10-10 overall, 2-5 in league play.

Yeah...why would anyone want their Coach to be coveted by a school like Arizona State? Hurley was great for the MAC. An entertaining, great coach. It sucks that he's gone. I don't want to see KD get a technical in every game. It makes no sense to get T'd up against Malone. But the tight MAC home games...the times when he's getting jerked-around by the refs at home...he needs to blow more fuses. That seems to be the only way to get the blue hairs to shake their canes, and the millennials to look up from their phones.

KD's technical made that game go from a "What a freaking waste of a Tuesday" to "Man, I had a lot of fun Tuesday!" The ref's BS Whistlemania™ absolutely sucked the life out of the building. After he blew a fuse, the place was electric. Like an OU or K.e.n.t. game. Big Dog is really playing tough, hard-nosed basketball right now. I love it! No one can match up with him when he's aggressive. I love that some of the formerly-lesser MAC programs are now giving us a run for our money. It makes for a much more entertaining evening. The 4-game Thursday in the MAC Tournament will be awesome once again! I hate that the Zips are jerking the schedule around to get on CBS Ocho television. Fridays conflict with HS basketball...and this upcoming week, the Cavs / Celtics game. You go through a lot of effort to clear your schedule to attend games, and UA moves the weekend dates. Move weekday games, but not the weekend ones.

Certainly are some bugs. We are waiting a couple days, because some of the problems seem to be "self healing." Starting Monday, whatever problems still exist will be corrected. For those of you who don't know how this works - most of the problems require us to submit a "ticket" to Invision to get the problem fixed. Most are not correctable on our own. We will get everything fixed soon enough. Until then - This thread is brought to you by Keener Auctions.

The site has been updated. This will add features, and also make it more immune to SPAM and viruses. While usable now, there are a lot of background things still running. Some features will not up-and-running for a few hours. Skins (colors, logos) need to be re-done. Some work remains. Thanks for bearing with us.

We expect the board will be upgraded today. Hopefully it is seamless, but there may be an interruption in board availability. Hope everyone likes the improvement. Me included. We'll see how it goes.

Ryan should have visited?

Look out for the Huskies

Akron fans are too cheap. They'd lose money if they were sold.

Best-refereed game I've seen this year by a mile.

As crappy as they are...they beat us twice last year?!

Trivia question: Who's the last Lee Owens recruit to still be playing professional football? This guy? Is Jabari still playing?

Fincher discusses de-commit

The power forward in this photo was also from Farrell.

I agree with Zipsoutsider - It is not permitted to contact recruits if you are considered a booster in the eyes of the NCAA. So don't do it. If you opinion is "everyone else does it" or "it's an outdated rule," that's your opinion... but it is still an NCAA violation.

Thanks for the update on K.e.n.t.'s recruiting.

Our 3-point defense was off last night, but our free throw defense was much improved.
