Nice to see the event won't conflict with football tailgating this year!

Joe Novak is a great coach. His teams are consistently in the hunt for MAC championships. In 2003 he beat Maryland (#24), Alabama and Iowa State to start the season.Iowa lost 7 of their final 9 games in 2006. If you think a crappy Iowa team blows-out a Novak-coached team on a neutral site, you're nuts.

19k would be a great size for a Division 1 football stadium.

I'm not ecstatic only because we need to wait a year before he can suit up. Getting a DL of his caliber is a great addition.

I love my alma mater...but if I had a chance to play football in Hawai'i I'd have a difficult time turning that one down. 85 degrees and sunny in December, or turning the corner onto Exchange by Plasma Alliance when it is 0 degrees with a -25 windchill....AH LOW HA, baby! If he selected Miami OH or Toledo over the Zips, then I'd be a bit miffed.

Looks like K.e.n.t. is going to finally institute a donation fee for their lower-reserved seating. And it looks like the Zips will raise theirs this season from $500.00 per seat to $750 per seat. Great Hoogly MoogleyIf there is a waiting list for lower-reserved seating then I guess you've got to raise the price of admission? Better be a damn good home schedule in 2007-8. It is a shame that those who have paid the prime $$ and sat through Derrick Tarver and Bryan Hipsher are getting milked now that the team is good, but that's the way it goes.

ZipsNation doesn't accept advertising, but I wanted to pass this site along. It can be tough to find decent Zips clothing. I've bought several jerseys from them. They are VERY nice and reasonably priced.Click for Clothes

Give him #7

Two notes:1.) This past Zips recruiting class is awesome. Take it to the bank.2.) As referenced by their abject failure at the end of the 2006 season, the word is out on K.e.n.t. People will be ready for them. And K.e.n.t. ALWAYS chokes. Screw Phil Steele -- K.e.n.t goes 3-9 this season. Easiest prediction ever.

I'm pretty much done with the Hipshers. There are 300 million people in the United States. If we need an assistant coach, I'm sure there are qualified candidates out there whose last name isn't Hipsher.I wish him well, but I am severely scarred from the Hipsher era and do not want another Hipsher on our bench.

My observation:When using football players to build a "human pyramid," it is NOT a good idea to place kickers and punters in the bottom row.

I've seen their mascot somewhere before....

Yeah, good riddance. But what prompted him to bolt for K.e.n.t. only 4 weeks after signing his 2007 recruiting class? The women's team issue could not have been shocking news to the guy. It has been in the works for over a year.Is the guy a dirt bag, or did Mack screw up? It is one or the other.

Unless I get "The Explanation of the Century," I'm with you. How do you lose the coach that just pulled off the most successful season in team history...to an ASSOCIATES position...at K>E>N>T!!??I gotta hear the spin on this one...BTW -- Helsel went to Maryland...which is still too close for me, but it'll have to do.

In 1995 we chose to stop the annal game, but the landscape of college football has changed a lot in the past 12 years. While UConn, Boise State, Marshall, Central Florida, Troy, MTSU and many others have sacked-up to be D1-A, YSU has decided to stay 1-AA. We offered you $125,000 to play and you turned it down. Now it is YSU who has elected not to renew the rivalry.Sack up and move to D1-A, and you'll get your home/home series. Until then, keep pounding your chest...and playing the Clarion's, Slippery Rock's and Lock Haven's of the world.
