Captain Kangaroo

The remark about the flagship was a tongue-in-cheek reference to a thread from a few days ago (wish I could find it, but I'm no good at using our site's crappy search function). I love the MACC because it is fun to watch any championship game. And it's more football, which is always good. UMass is historically a solid 1-AA program. They now play their home games at Gillette Stadium, which I'm really looking forward to attending. And the MAC is a great defibrillator for any sickly 1-A, or healthy 1-AA program looking to become competitive at the 1-A level. Based upon UCF, Temple and Marshall, it won't be long before UMass starts whipping the MAC "lifers," and moves on to bigger and better things. I like the UMass addition. Who cares if the conference is numerically unbalanced...it isn't rocket science to make it work.

Having the name UMass, they must be the flagship program of Massachusetts, and how can you go wrong adding a flagship? Getsy-to-Hixon isn't the ruination of college football. It's a championship-level football game for the MAC, not EMU vs. K.e.n.t, which is a good thing.

Getsy-to-Hixon. Best moment in Zips football history. MAC championship football game rules. End of story.

Looks like no mechanical bull? My son's not gonna like it.

This very important question needs addressed.

Funny that Steve French complained about the fans before the game....then felt compelled to berate the fans again after the game. That pisses me off. Because the only place fans talk about the Zips is here. And it has been RIDICULOUSLY positive all season. French: "Hey Keith, how does it feel to have fans complain after the Oral Roberts loss?" French: "Well Kieth, the fans really don't appreciate how difficult it is to achieve 20 wins do they?" French: "How difficult is it on the players when fans turn on them after a loss?" I HATE that. We're drawing more fans than ever this season. Filled two buses to West Virginia. The basketball board has been buzzing all season long, with the RAREST of complaints about anything. 4,000+ fans are filing into the JAR on a regular basis, and French is baiting KD to complain about them. Let's all put on our hair shirts and repent for saying Zeke should have had more touches in the Oral Roberts game. The audacity.

Shows what we know.

Good. Because we will have 6 full days between K.e.n.t. and the semifinals. Sit starters against K.e.n.t, an ESPN2 nationally televised game, because it will be a "tough game?" Can you imagine going to Cventinovic, Tree and Zeke and saying "Sorry guys, but I'm gonna shut you down for the remainder of the regular season. We're going to let K.e.n.t. wax us. That way we're fresh for next Friday."

His shooting was painful to watch, but going into OU and K.e.n.t., and The Q, we'll need him. Seniors are needed for those types of games. My gut feeling is he'll rise to the occasion. I have no stats to back it up, other than what he did last season. KD still has faith in him... he pretty much has to believe in him because we're going to need our full 9-man rotation contributing to their full potential if we're going to do anything extra-special in March. He still is hustling his butt off. He just needs a slump-buster.

So not only do you want the starters to get 6 days off between K.e.n.t. and March 9th...you'd want their last game to be February 26th? Wow...

Is Deji also a candidate for a medical redshirt? I wonder...

Good. Now maybe we can start beating them in football again?

Actually pretty nice?

Probably because Frye couldn't have played wide receiver.

If Sparks didn't have the toe injury, Charlie Frye may never have seen the field?

When you've been to as many bachelor parties as I have over the years, you see a lot of pretty disturbing stuff...

OU is a TERRIBLE road team.

QB's are typically the best athletes on their respective teams. The more QB's the better. QB Jeff Sweitzer returned punts back-in-the-day. Bruce Keys (LB) and Wayne Wade (S) were HS QB's. John Harpring was a HS QB, as was WR Nick Sparks. Maybe Clayton Moore is our "Edelmann" and finds a spot more suitable than QB? Hopefully we fill a lot of holes beyond QB with some of these guys.

I think 20 questions with Clayton Moore was slightly more than 19 too many.

Looks like 70's clown porn.

A can of whup' ass is opened in the JAR. Zips 77 BGSU 55

Kind words from an ORU poster.

Speaking to a buddy of mine post-game, we both agree the Zips didn't play "inside-out," like coach Peters explained our offense. We played "outside-out." Way too few touches by Zeke. Way too easy to defend. Way too conducive to bad 3-point shooting.

I agree. This lynch mob mentality MUST cease. It is absolutely insane around here. Worst fans in the world. What is it... 98 "for" and 2 "against" firing Dambrot? You and I are the only rational people on this site. Thank God for us. How was your ESPN2 video feed? Acceptable quality? Wish we'd have played Iona.

You mean Chauncey Diggs?
