  1. I think Sammy Hunter will be fine. His body language is MUCH better than Maishe Dailey’s was. He’s got confidence in his stroke. Maishe always looked tentative.
  2. What's all the World Cup & Twitter talk? Is twitter streaming games live, or something?
  3. lol
  4. Upon further review, it was actually when the Zips we’re down 20-3 that Faith hit her two big 3’s to give the Zips life. One at the end of the first quarter and then another at the start of the 2nd.
  5. Could anyone fill us in if you’ve been following how Konata Mumpfield has been faring this year at Pitt?
  6. True. Good point. It’s like the MAC didn’t even realize there might be a potential problem till Thursday. TF? 🙄
  7. Faith Stinson played extremely well. In fact, when we were down 11-3 she’s the Zip who got us back in the game with not one, but two big 3-pointers IIRC.
  8. Midway through the 1stQ while the Zips we’re down 11-0, they were cutting to commercial but Reghi & Phelps’ mics we’re still on & Mike Phelps: “Yikes.” Rhegi: “…yup.” 😂
  9. In basketball we consider you guys a big rival. Hopefully our football team gets its act together and we can stoke a rivalry there too. KSUcks is, of course, our arch-rival, but Ohio and you guys are our next fiercest rivals.
  10. Is this the thread where it was discussed how great a deal GA season tickets are? They are $25 less than a Wadsworth 20-event athletics pass 🤯
  11. The announcement states the game may be played on Sunday? 🧐🤔
  12. Take a sick or personal day on Monday and go! It sounds like a very memorable weekend.
  13. EMU’s outscored KSUcks 17-0 in the 2nd half to take a 24-17 lead with 10 minutes to go in the 4th
  14. She’s gonna be a good one. Can’t wait to watch the game slow down for her just a bit. Stinson and Reagan Bass are going to be the best frontcourt in the MAC 💪💪
  15. Indeed.
  16. I think I read on twitter this a.m. that there might be a 4-way tie for 1st in the MAC East?! 😂 That's pretty awesome.
  17. Thanks, @Zip_ME87. This isn't directed at you exactly but at the idea of Title IX in general. So to play Devils Advocate... "To provide equality for women, an equal number of athletic scholarships has to be available for both men and women" Without Title IX there already are an equal number of athletic scholarships available for both men and women. There is no prohibition for a female earning a scholarship on the football team. What Title IX actually does in practice is make twice as many athletic scholarships available for the women as for the men because there is a prohibition for a male earning a scholarship on the women's team. (As an aside, the trans-lunacy is now infringing upon this). "You can't exempt football and provide equality." But we don't have a "Men's Football" team. We simply have a football team. Likewise, we shouldn't be required by law to fund both a "Men's Basketball" team and "Women's Basketball" team. We should just have a basketball team. We shouldn't be required by law to fund both a "Men's Soccer" team and a "Women's Soccer" team. We should just have a soccer team. "We have fill-in-the-blank-number of scholarships available. Come one, come all. Open tryouts." This is actually what true equality would look like. Competition. What Title IX does is actually "equity." Equality -v- Equity. Boy do those words look a lot alike but there is a world of difference and don't be fooled when someone uses the word "equity." Equity is not equality. Equity = quotas, and quotas = everything quickly turns to shite. Like most all good-intentioned but mentally dubious liberal policies, Title IX is forcing universities (taxpayers; you and me) to spend money that doesn't exist. There are only a very small handful of universities (read Ohio State, Texas, Alabama) that can actually afford the financial burden of what Title IX has placed upon college departments of athletics. Just playing Devil's Advocate because I think this is a good, and pertinent, example of what is being snuck in the back door of our good-intentioned but asleep-at-the-wheel society at large (read, "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" horse scheisse. It's all quotas. Which is, ironically, the diametric opposite of equality). Just an interesting conversation to be had on a sport's board.
