no, it's the hotel. I did a speed test and it was like 65 kb down. Should be 300kb minimum. It is better now. Prob is that after 9:00 everyone and their uncle jumps on the puter!! What's with these quick shots? We are getting a bit sloppy and a bit comfortable.

I hate paying for "high speed" internet in the hotel and getting nothing faster than a dial-up connection!!!

See Zip81, you can analyze!

Kinda bad when the image used on the mainpage of their live video viewer shows a "big" dunk and there is practically no one in the crowd!!!

What a move by Wood!!!Akron 35NIU 26 HALF

The offense has a right to the path to the basket. Contrary to popular belief, the defender cannot slide over at the last split second. That was not a charge.

Man is the ZIpsLive audio about 2-3 minutes behind the video feed.

Which one?

uakronkid: Great find! Hope it gets more play. BTW, check your email/private messages again.

I'm willing to bet that is why he got whacked. The officials don't give lots of warnings like in HS. He was probably told once to cool it and he didn't so he got whacked. A T is not that big of a deal in college. In HS, the coach is confined to sitting on the bench and cannot stand to coach his team. In college there is no additional penalty unless he earns a 2nd T. Then he watches from the locker room.

Yeah, just resent it.

I do go to that section on ESPN's site, I just thought there was a ranking of all D-1 schools outside of just the top 25.

W00t: I have an embarrassingly stupid question: Where do you find the FULL listing? I can only find the top 25?

Skip-Zip: I think Dials is an OK stand-in, but we need a true point guard. I am encouraged that we scrapped out a win without Dru on the floor as much. I don't think Ced should start over Dials either. I think KD likes/needs him to be that spark off the bench AND I think KD and Ced have an understanding between them that that will be his role. I feel Ced is comfrotable with that.BirdZip: Excellent question about the "player control" fifth foul called on Dru Joyce! Many sitting around me were questioning that as well.In college basketball (different from HS basketball) player control ends after the ball is passed or shot. SO, in Dru's case, the official observed that he had realeased the ball in a shot, the collision came after the release, therefore it is NOT a player control foul but it is a normal personal foul. Therfore, since that was also team foul number 10, Buffalo gets to shoot 2. Now, let's take it s step further. Let's say Joyce's shot would have gone in. You would actually have seen the basket counted for Akron, Dru leaves the game (5th foul) AND Buffalo shoots two at the other end. Now, how often do you see that? PRACTICALLY NEVER! Because, IMO, most officials will never make that call, in that situation, unlesss it was blatently obvious that there was a release first. The thing that made it confusing also was that the calling official pointed towards Buffalo's basket indicating and offensive foul to the casual fan, but in reality that point just indicates which way we are going. The hand signal we all should have looked for was prior to the point, he would place his had behind his head and THEN point. Yesterday, you only saw the point (correct). I bet Frenchy would have gotten that one wrong!!

The sad thing is, I have offered countless times my personal communication resources and ideas to the Rowdy leadership to get this research and messages out. No one seems interested or even listening!!

Holy cow was that a large walk-up crowd! I didn't have a ticket to this one because I didn't think I would be able to go. I stood in a line that snaked out the door for my ducket!

I also saw (in the last 2:00 of game clock) a "student" in street clothes walking along the track on the south baseline, yelling over the railing down at the Rowdies "Let's Go ZIPS!" in order to get them to start chanting SOMETHING at a most crucial time of the game. He got another cheer going a bit later before someone downstairs figured out that they should so something! Why is this so hard?

I agree these promotions are somewhat weak. I would love it if someone would start a thread for serious marketing suggestions. Then maybe someone can take it to the AD and the marketing department. Kinda a put your money where your mouth is challenge.

Excellent updates!!!!Hey, check your mailbox for a message.

This entire thread is unbelievable!I am sick and embarrassed to read this SH*T!! Are you people aware that this is a PUBLIC forum? Are you aware that your rival schools tend to drop by and read this SH*T? Are you aware that you are giving them plenty of material to rip you apart for years to come?As for this girl that started this facebook account: Just as immature as when my 19 month-old throws a tantrum. The mature, adult way to handle this is try, no matter how difficult, to affect change through discussions. I am sure that if the Rowdies were as terrible as some of you contend AND enough of you became a bug in the ear of the AD, the AD would make changes. Either in leadership or policy or both. If you don't get what you want, you don't take your toys and go crying home. That doesn't work in real life.As for the players backing this, I would hope that star athletes from basketball would be wiser to stay neutral in this fight. Plus, I can go to Facebook or MySpace and create a bogus account saying I am Freakin' Ron Jeremy if I want with practically no way to verify it. But even if it is really them, then shame on them for such an unwise decision.My suggestion: Shut your pie-holes. Battle this behind closed doors. And quit disrespecting the teams, the fans, the alumni, the students and the University.

Can't Statecks banner? Uh... I don't get it. Either someone edited my post or the filters kicked in. By now we all know what the banner said from the previous thread.

I'm sure we can find something blue amongst your leisure suits and tie-dyed hippie shirts!Say what you want, but you know if I gave you two duckets for an OSU game and you had no OSU gear, you would rush to the store (in w00t's case, Goodwill) and buy up OSU gear to represent. Hell, I've seen my neighbors, friends and even family do it. You know it's true.

and i bet their OSU hoody wasn't free either!
