Captain Kangaroo

Full Column Personally, I thought it was a bigger shock/story that 2/3rds of Zips fans are pulling for K.e.n.t. (rather than focusing on 1/3 being anti-K.e.n.t.), but I appreciate the mention regardless.

His dad's alma mater... big fat pay raise... still a relatively "local" job... 4-bid conference... he's always felt slighted that football is dumping a ton of money into facilities and coaches that net a paltry one or two wins per season, while he's winning 20+ game/year and playing in a HS gym.... he's at that at the point in his life where he's probably got time for one last shot at the big-time... of course he thought about it seriously.

It would be read on the Internet, so who cares?

Channel 5 sent a crew to Omaha.

Lots of people don't believe things until they read them in the newspaper. Really old people...but lots of them. Feel free to check back and review this thread in August. If only picking winning Lotto numbers was as easy as picking Ole Miss to be 3rd string.

If the Coach didn't wait, why should we?

As quick as Pohl is ready is as quick as he will start. Smart money is on Williams to begin the season, and Pohl to end it.

Odd that you ignore UA's Law School, but tout K.e.n.t.'s Journalism program. What can you do with a Journalism degree in 2012? Blog?

They are playing at a very high level. Great players and fun to watch. For the second time in my life, I am rooting for the Flashes (the other time being their Elite 8 hoops run). Lots of respect for their baseball team. If they were to win it all, how would it compare to our soccer national title? Equivalent? Better? Lesser? I guess that is another poll for another day. I saw that Josh Cribbs chartered a 53-person bus "to make sure K.e.n.t. was well-represented in Omaha." Nice gesture.

I hope Harney is adding some moves to his half-court offensive game other than "plow into the lane." If not, there will simply be a 2" taller kid sitting on the Zips' bench for 28min/game. Fr. to Soph. is usually a big jump. My expectations are high for Harney in 2012-13.

I'm at the point in my life where my kid is playing fall sports on Saturdays. Here's hoping his games are early...

I missed the interview. At any point did Bowden say "It's a process..."?

Back-in-the-day, my son's favorite player. It also beget him following #99 Carl Edwards in NASCAR.

I agree that with Gilliam and Diggs being seniors, and maybe Walsh being a senior too, that there won't be a ton of minutes available at shooting guard. But there will be some. As a redshirt Fr,., 8-or-so mpg wouldn't be too bad? I really wonder where Ibitayo will fit in. Not a great shooter. Not a great ball handler. Great upside. Great length. Is he still a year away from meaningful minutes? Seems like it.

I think this is the first legit, 36-team sell-out? We've doubled-up on holes in the past, but never on all 18. Hope the dinner isn't over before our group completes the round.

We don't need a #2 guard that can shoot the lights out? I saw how OU ran through the 2012 NCAA tourney. I want to be like them. I want guards that can hit the 3 at a sick pace.

I don't think it has been a rarity over the past several decades that the 6th or 7th best point guard from the Philadelphia area has been a better player than the #1 or #2 rated PG in Cleveland or Pittsburgh.

Or he redshirts.

No, I don't remember that one.

I hear he was a victim of pfau play.

Antwon Hight...gotta add his name to "The Best Zip Never" list we were working on a few months ago.

How Ohm Youngmisuk's blog is not titled "Ohm's Law" is beyond me.

Most people from Youngstown have a bullet wound or two. No big deal. It's not Mayberry.

Wonder if originally being a Tressel recruit helped him find his way to Akron?
