Captain Kangaroo

Who isn’t?

Jim Fenton's #44 is in the JAR rafters.

I said it earlier, but he's been our 3rd most impactful player this year. He reminds me a lot of Deji Ibitayo. Long, athletic and raw as a freshman. Improved every year.

A Zips fan’s glass of hemlock is always half full. ?

There are some years when the Zips can handle an OOC schedule like this, and 2021 isn't it. If in 2020 we surrendered 70 points to Kent State, and only threw for 87 against Bowling Green, I can't imagine how uncompetitive these games will be.

We go from playing a non-scholarship FCS team, to Ohio State. That should be quite the change of pace.

I think there's a lot to be said for continuity, and the Zips haven't had any this season. Few practices, and fewer games. That's tough for a team that has so many new faces. That said, those are the cards we've been dealt. The door is wide open for any player desiring playing time to get it if he can provide a consistent offensive presence, and get a few floor burns on defense. Aside from brief flashes of marksmanship from Trimble, none of our highly touted newbies has shown they know what it takes to win in the MAC. They need to dig deeper. Make an impact on defense if your shot isn't falling. Get some fast break points. Our #2 best player is a walk-on. And it is arguable that Ali Ali could be our #3 most impactful player this season. Their energy and athleticism stands out. That's beyond surprising, considering we brought in players from Iowa, Wake Forest and Saint Johns whose energy has yet to stand out.

With a decade invested on ZipsNation and 7,800 posts, I choose to trust you. And if you aren't quite 100% certain of Brandon Bischoff's scholarship status, that is something I can live with. ? Thanks for all the content you bring to ZipsNation! I don't acknowledge it often enough!??

Dirk Nowitzki and Willis Reed? Don't know any Dirk's and Reed's from the Zips, so I guess you can have them.

I can't wait until he becomes the first Grad Transfer to transfer back to his original school!?‍?

Boogie departing is disappointing. He wasn't a star, but he was a solid MAC player. And the Zips need all the upperclassmen they can get. I get the historical argument that coaches could leave a program whenever they pleased, but players had to sit a year whenever they transferred. I also get that a student athlete has 5 years to play, and then the ride it over. So a senior who sticks with the Zips probably looks at 2021 and says..."I wanna win, and I don't see that happening in Akron in 2021, so I'm outta here." But... But is it good for college athletics to have student athletes transferring whenever they please? Are those transferring going to find a landing spot, or will many of them become ordinary Joe's, paying their own way if they want to attend college? It seems like a big mess. It's no fun being a 20 year old college student right now. And it can't be any fun being a college coach in 2021 either.

Has Otis Mounds sold his house in Akron yet?

Big Dog was 6-16 on FT's. I think he missed his last 6 or 8? It was criminal that we lost that game. Should have beat OSU by 15.

For those of you who shelled out the big. bucks for a CBS subscription, you can check out KD and old friends TDMartin and Mike Hughes right now as Duquesne takes on Davidson.

You are correct. Sorry about that. He was injured in camp. And I haven't even started drinking today...

I believe that was Jonah Morris in game #1 two years ago, after a personal foul call?

So he’s working his way through the FBS programs alphabetically?

Maybe Ashley Bastock can win the hearts of ZipsNation and ask the coach?

I wouldn't sell him short on his 3-point shooting. I think he'll have some memorable long-range days this season, as long as COVID doesn't curtail things. X was a comparatively better rebounder for sure, but he's also a couple inches taller.

Uh oh...MULTIPLE Zips may get post game interviews!

Too bad Joe Dunn wants to talk to LCJ after the game. I want to hear how Trimble turned it on.

I think the one word that stood out to me in the whole article was "stale." That's what the playoff has become.
