Captain Kangaroo

I never saw an ego with Moorhead. If he was walking through the Rubber Bowl parking lot prior to games, he'd always stop by and shake the hands of the people in our group. At the golf outings, he'd talk to you about recruiting...schemes...whatever you wanted to discuss for as long as you wanted to discuss it. I saw him as 100% ego-free. Is he a great head coach? I'd leave that up to the committee to determine. But as a person, he's a super guy. And his resume' would put him in the Top 5 realistic candidates. He was a major part of some of the biggest wins in our school's D-1 football history.

Unlike Winters, he's schemed against Big East opponents for the past several seasons. We scored a lot of points, and had some of our Program's biggest wins while he was Zips OC. He left UA for UConn before JD's final season, so perhaps TW is not biased against him? Bio Still recruiting the Ohio/PA area

A BIG KID who stands a good chance of blowing his college scholarship. Stupid, stupid move for any person of any age. If the report is accurate I would not be disappointed if he were suspended for the season, or permanently booted from the team.

UA did an awesome job with the bus trip. Everything was done right, very well-organized and enjoyable. Treadwell and Abreu couldn't kill the bus trip fun. But they sure made the game suck...

I've never met Ian, but I've seen him at pretty much every UA sporting event I've attended for the past 6(?) years. He's a moster fan. He owed the mistake. If Ian cares, I forgive him. One f-up doesn't define the guy. I will ask everyone to be mindful - We clown, commiserate, learn, meet new friends, get pissed off...there's a lot of things that embody ZipsNation beyond being a fan message board. But one thing I insist upon is - No fake news here. "Facebook-fib" all you want, but don't do it here. There have been in excess of 160 fans on this site within a 15 minute span scores of times in the past several days. In excess of 300 different viewers within 60 minute spans. This site is "The Face of the Zips Fan." I, and the other mods, and most members take the reputation this board has earned very seriously. No intentional lies or phoney news here. Period. It undermines our integrity. Thanks. CK

mod-war :popcorn emote: Not at all. Humor is one thing. Phoney info is something I don't like.

Memo to all - Please do not use our site to be a jackass. If you see something regarding Tressel, fine. Post it. If you have an opinion, fine. Post it. If you are fabricating stuff simply to get your rocks off, stop it.

There are three moderators. I don't recall any of them mentioning the above conversation.

Q is 1/2 as effective a player at PG as he is on the wing. Having him handle the ball, when he should be cutting and slashing, negates his strengths. Yeah, we need him to play PG because we have no one else. But opponents have to LOVE Q having to deal with breaking the press and distributing the ball rather than him pouring in 20 on a series of cuts and open-look 3's. Like Brett McKnight last year, Abreu's indescretion wasted a player's (Ibitayo) much-needed redshirt season, and is costing us W's too. We are a VERY mortal team without AA at PG.

Wow, Zach. This is a definitive statement. Are you sure? Or do you really mean to say, "The football players have a team meeting scheduled later today. During that time, they may be informed who their next head coach will be"? I'm assuming you heard this from a player? I heard captain kangaroo might have exclusive audio from the team meeting today. My sources better be right. I also think some players might have some input put. You're PM-ing me the .wav file, right?

I bet he's going to be the punter for the Arizona Cardinals. I thought it was Einhorn? Was....

I bet he's going to be the punter for the Arizona Cardinals.

I think it would be really ironic that TW would attempt to fire Brookhart for a secondary rules violation...then hire a guy with the comparatively severe violations Tressel carries.

Freudian slip?

I hope so too.

Is it meaningful to Tressel to salvage his reputation. Yes. Can he accept taking the hit to his lifetime win % that the first 2 seasons at UA would level? Probably. Does he want to coach again? Probably. Does he need big-time money? Probably not. Is Hudson a nice place to live? Yes. I could see him coming to UA.

Doesn't have a plan, and then change the plan to a process.

Tommy Evans Lounge I saw that but what is the lounge used for Furniture repairs and light machine shop work.

It may be true. I can confirm Tressel was NOT at BW-3's an hour prior to tip-off.

When Lolla bolted for Louisville I saw Mike Waddell (interim AD at the time) walking around campus and said - "Man, this sucks. Lolla had it going on here. WTF?" Waddell replied - "Don't worry...we've got someone even BETTER lined up." I thought he was insane. But the new coach turned out to be Porter. Whomever was on that search committee needs to be contacted yesterday for advice on the football hire.

If this guy is a National Writer, then RACER is an International Writer.

The Remora was hired to: 1.) Hire a winning football coach 2.) Fill InfoCision His stadium is empty, and his coach has lost 95% of his games after 2 seasons. In the UA Dean's office, that grades-out somewhere between Blutarsky and Daniel Day. Top-to-bottom, even though we just did it 2 1/2 years ago, we gotta change again.

Can you copy and paste the story please. It says the Zips are going to fire Ianello. It's because he was a terrible coach and lost over 90% of his games. If there are other stories posted on other sites, they will say the same.

Should the Zips wait to initiate the suspension when he's healthy? Bum deal. Makes the bus trip to WVa less-anticipated.
