  1. I think it is stupid to avoid Ohio State conflicts. It isn't like there are tens of thousands of fans sitting at home watching Ohio State that would otherwise be at the Zips game. They don't come anyhow, so f 'em. I love 6 pm starts. Night games are always a blast. And all the family/kids events are long-since completed by 6 pm.
  2. A treat for late-arriving Pitt fans They'll have until 6 pm to pull their cars into Lot 9 for free parking!
  3. I bet D'Orazio's 7th year would have been even better,
  4. 1.) Dellavadova moves his feet well, and never reaches in. If you are a ref, you can't blow whistles on him because his technique is so good. He looks like a chipmunk, but he's a great defender. 2.) I thought Zips basketball fans were the biggest officiating-whiners of all time. But Golden State fans blow them away. Maybe they're equal, and the fact that there's 5X more of them makes it sound worse? Either way, I've never seen such a mass of fans with such a collectively low basketball IQ as those in Oakland.
  5. He was Teddy Bridgewater's favorite target for a season. Couple of ACL tears pushed him down on Louisville's WR 2-deep, so he'll be in the slot for his senior year with the Zips in 2015. Hope he has a healthy finish to his career. Bio
  6. He will not be playing football for the Zips in 2015. We'll need to wait until next season to see him in action.
  7. If you wait 10-or-so seconds, the full news story appears. At least it did for me. Optional story (again, you need to wait several seconds for the full story to appear) I think it is pretty neat than an NFL legend, who played hundreds of big games throughout his college + pro career, still vividly recalls playing against him in high school over 60 years ago. Great pic. Bevo was still getting the cheerleaders late in life. God Bless 'em:
  8. He could let ZipsNation members select the bottle logo?
  9. Ohio Basketball Legend
  10. If they're bringing in $150k/year per athlete, then good for OSU. OSU athletics is absolutely no drain on the University as a whole. Instead it's is a cash cow. You need to find a new drum to beat to a pulp.
  11. And, scoring fewer points than the opponent.
  12. Good dudes from Akron
  13. No football team? Speaking of research...someone obviously didn't do much of it.
  14. While not a Beer Thread item, perhaps this is of interest for some discriminating Lot 9 tailgater this fall:
  15. Spent a year at Maryland Found in another column: "Jones is also rated as the No. 4 JUCO athlete nationally by 247Sports.com." I would bet a nickel that he ends up at WR.
  16. I wonder what logo will be on the Zips practice helmets this summer?
  17. I hear they're painting the "Z" logo on it tonight.
  18. So what. If a kid can complete his coursework within 4 years, while playing a sport, good for him. That's a real student-athlete. They NCAA should be praising these guys, not trying to create rules to squelch them. 19-out-of-20 of these grad transfers are old guys that are being run-off of their P5 school to free up a scholarship for a younger guy with some upside. It's a great reward for a kid that hits the books to get a chance to see the field in his final year of eligibility.
  19. 3-point stroke looks fine. He seems to finish strong around the rim. That's an area where the 2014-15 Zips struggled. I'll be interesting to see how much he's added to his game over the past 2 years, and how it fares against mid/upper-level D1 college talent.
  20. Is the kid any good? Is he going to absorb Gladden's 8-or-so minutes per game, or is he expected to push the starters for minutes?
  21. The Stout logo Keener used is disgusting. I hate it. It looks like a set of bowling pins! There should only be ONE logo for Stout...a single, glass. Period. It is nice and clean and cannot be misinterpreted. All other stout logos absolutely suck. I am so infuriated by this proposed sickening action, I emailed the President. ZipsWin Emeritus. What I discovered was even more heinous...the President is considering changing the name of our beloved University to...get this...Wisconsin PORTER! I scanned the image below from an internal memo...it shows how serious this really is: You don't believe this could happen? Really? Take a look at the Tweet sent by ZipsWin! only a few minutes ago: I hope our alumni start web sites, and implement hashtags to stop this atrocity.
  22. Did Keener name that University?
