But if I could only drink one beer for the rest of my life:
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
My favorite was Leikeim Dunkle Weisse. Every sip was better than the previous one.
Keener: You've drank around 200 different beers in the last 8 weeks alone! You're a Casanova of Fermentation...there's NO WAY you'd ever settle down and "marry" 1 beer!

Did any Rowdies steal the Penn State uniforms prior to the game?

Next year there will be roughly 32 minutes/game freed-up based upon Diggs' graduation.
But, Dambrot will likely use his one available scholarship to bring in a point guard, and that kid will likely eat into a good chunk of those 32 minutes. So...add in Ibitayo's 4 minutes per game...and we'll have three redshirts vying for a handful of those newly-available minutes against a boatload of Juniors and Seniors.
I don't see the 2013-14 redshirt kids getting appreciable court time until 2015-16.
Unless of course, someone really underachieves this season. The 2014-15 Cheatham/Forsythe "battle" for PT will be interesting. Depending upon Pat's early motor, it might even occur this November?
We'll just have to sit back and watch how it all plays-out.

If you have 31 free seconds, go ahead and check it out in it's entirety.

Here are two late arrivals from Saturday's tailgate:
Avery IPA
Brew Kettle 4 C's American Pale Ale
Edit completed.
Which beer did everyone like the best?

Please not 10am, please not 10am, please not 10am....

Pohl shouldn't even have played this season. He sucked it up and delayed surgery for the team. I wish we would get off of his case a bit.
He's the healthiest guy in the history of college football ever to have needed to sit out an entire season, yet played in every quarter of every game for an entire season.
Dalton Easton's loss is our gain.
-
Bowden has signed some great recruits despite a selling point of "Three Consecutive 1-win seasons." And in year one, he had all of maybe 5 weeks to recruit?
Now that we are officially out of the "dregs" column, I can't wait to see his Signing Day commits!
-
In this case, I don't buy it. He ran for an eight yard first down without a noticeable issue. It's football, everybody is banged up this time of year in one way or another. Hopefully he steps it up in practice given the extra time before UMass.
+1
I've seen QB's play hurt. Pohl may be dinged-up, but no more so than any other QB's in week 10. He had several strong runs...designed runs...over the last two games. You don't draw up such plays if your QB is seriously injured.
Paraphrasing Bowden on this week's Coach's Show - "Jordan Lynch gets hit harder and more often than anyone in the nation. And he doesn't complain. It's football. You're always going to be a little hurt."
-
However, there's always a little bit of risk in taking a player who is overweight and slow, and making him sit for a year. Gives him a lot more chances to be lazy, and you sometimes end up with an even bigger problem the following year.
It's not like he'd be a non-qualifier. He still practices with the team. I doubt he'd do anything but dramatically improve his physical condition.

I remember Nate Barnett, Dick's nephew, who played for the Zips in the early 70's, then went on to play for the Indiana Pacers in the old ABA.
Obviously he had a great Momager.
-
Anyone know why the Zipper was removed from the helmet for the K.e.n.t. game?
-
Several years ago K.e.n.t. State decided to crack down on tailgating at Dix Stadium.
I girl I worked with...K.e.n.t. alum...went to the Flashes homecoming game and was arrested in the parking lot for open container (beer in a plastic cup). She will never again return to the K.e.n.t campus. Nice job Can't State. Arresting alumni at Homecoming.
Moral of the story - Police and Universities can be stupid with regards to tailgating. Especially @ K.e.n.t.
-
Are the coaches bringing in any recruits for the Kan't State game!!!
A win would do great things if we have kids visiting.
Go Zips
I have to believe it is a big "recruiting" game. It will be as electric a crowd as we'll have all season at home, and a win will be a blast to celebrate.
-
I also heard through the vine that there might be some Old Grand Dad flowing before the game.
AWESOME!!!!!
-
As coach has pointed out, the main difference this year will be when there is a defensive breakdown, you don't have a 7 foot shot blocker there to clean it up. So defense appears to be the larger concern for him.
If you can't bring the ball up the court, the shot-blocking is irrelevant. See the VCU game. Or the WVa game. High-major D-1 point guards seem to feast on weak/average guard play.
I have no fear we'll have PG talent to do well in the MAC. My concern comes with Thinking Bigger. I was really hoping Evans would, assist-wise, be a drop-in replacement for Abreu. And give us the edge in our marquee games.
Additional note - The sometimes paella-riddled Abreu wasn't always the "dream" D-1 PG, but when he was on his game he was the best I'd seen since McLaughlin.
-
Stupid
Losing season,
Empty Dix Stadium,
Non stop incomplete passes from 3rd string QB to wide receivers.
Continuously running plays that don’t work,
The inability to separate being a hacky sack player and a Frisbee golfer.
Dropped classes,
But having 4 of your original teeth means you’re a "super star",
Yeah right.
Where's my tooth paste? My out house? My Double-wide?
I can drop passes,
Run backwards,
Miss tackles,
And be afraid to take a hit.
That's top line div. 1 material right there.
If that's what K.e.n.t. wanted,
They definitely got it.
This whole town will be glad when the smelly hippies are gone.
For anyone who doesn't understand what I am saying?
K.E.N.T.'S SCREWED!
-
Second, what if neither Carmelo or Nyles are effective?
If these guys both turn out to be Blake Justice Part II, it will be a big problem.
We need a real D1 point guard if we are going to achieve anything beyond our annual run through the MAC, then one-n-done in a tourney. Hope one emerges. I bet KD does too.
-
I hope Diggs can play PG at a high level. It will make this team extremely dangerous against high-major competition. Who can deal with a senior, 6' 6" PG with mad game?
But all I have is blind hope that Q worked exclusively at improving his passing, vision, poise and decision-making during his lengthy hiatus.
In his time at UA he has proven to have a sweet, twine-tickling outside jumper. A killer crossover and a keen ability to slash and finish. His floor attitude is on the edge...crossing over the edge on many occasions...but that's not always a detriment.
Love Q at the 2. Love him at the 3. But he really has to have improved those key PG attributes if he's going to help us net a few early marquee games that always seem to elude us. Will he kill against Bluffton? Sure. Against the Zips #2 squad? Sure. And probably against Western Michigan and even K.e.n.t. But he has looked massively overwhelmed against teams like Northwestern and WVa when asked to play the 1. And until I see the metamorphosis for myself, I will remain a Q supporter, but a skeptic that he's the answer to replace Abreu.
Why would we bring in Evans if he can't play PG? If he can only play the 2 at a high level, what's the use? We already had buckets full of guys to play the 2.
We'll see how it plays-out. Stay hydrated, Melo.
-
@Captain Kangaroo, when was the last time you saw Q run the point?
Northwestern game. The last 16 seconds are burned into my memory.
Prior that, other 2011-12 instances where Abreu was out/suspended (WVA game was an extended look).
-
Diggs is not a point guard, at least not for anything more than emergency purposes. And an occasional top-of-the-key drive at the end of a half.
Hopefully Betancourt has elevated his game. And Evans can play the point. Otherwise, I think McAdams is our best PG option. And that would be a big weakness in an otherwise very strong team.
-
Zips win this week. The only question is whether it is a laugher, or if the penalty-loving Zips manage to bungle their way to a close win.
There are no excuses this week:
* The Zips play at home.
* Rivalry game, where our rival enters at 2-7.
* K.e.n.t.'s QB is sub-mediocre. What a treat to play against a lousy QB for once?
* Unlike last season, when the Zips defense was decimated by injuries and still should have won the game, this year the Zips are healthy. Even without Turner, CJ James and CJ Mizell, the defense has performed at a relatively high level. How is that possible? Give Amato some props.
* Pohl should have a much easier time throwing against the K.e.n.t. defense than Ball State's. I look for a big day from him.
* I don't think Nico Caponi lets the Zips lose this game. There's a LOT of pent up frustration amongst the Zips seniors...way too many losses over their careers. They finally have a team surrounding them that's capable of beating someone, and they won't let this opportunity pass. Hoisting the Wagon Wheel at InfoCision is something those inglorious bastards deserve. They will seize the day.
* Bowden needs to play like he wants to win the game. Last year his dadgum butt-hole puckered up after half time and the Zips sat around waiting for K.e.n.t. to rally.
Do the Zips have a trick play? K.e.n.t. has historically been stupid enough to bite on them. Pull out all the stops Saturday afternoon!
Robert "Shanken" Stein needs to pull the bolts out of his neck and hit a few short field goals. Either that, or the Zips need to synchronize their frequent personal foul penalties with his chip shot field goals and move him back to 45+ where he seems most comfortable.
Chisholm's legs look like a baby deer on a frozen pond, but he's putting up some decent numbers. If he can keep his balance, he can go for 150+ versus K.e.n.t. Side note: Was there ever any bigger disparity in running style on display than at InfoCision last week watching Ball State's RB patiently wait behind his blockers for a hole, versus Chisholm's wild, slashing unpredictable bursts?
Can Milwee remove that "5-men-in-the-backfield" play from his playbook? It seems to be illegal (at least the refs think so), but we run it multiple times every game?
If K.e.n.t. is unprepared on defense, and we are ready at the line of scrimmage, can someone tell Pohl to run a play instead of waiting and staring at our sideline until K.e.n.t's ready? If Pohl wants to be in the class of the QB's we've faced from UCF, Ball State, Northern Illinois, Louisiana...he needs to take command of this offense. If Getsy was our QB last week, I think we beat Ball State. The rest of our team is improving. But QB seems stuck in 2nd gear. We need better play from our QB. I want to see Pohl become a leader. I want to see some accuracy. Some 3rd down conversions. Or, I'll want see if Hirshmann's celebration dance has improved.

I'm hoping for a good crowd at the game. Any predictions on attendance numbers?
