Blue & Gold

What on earth? ?

I'm going to have to just go ahead and admit that LCJ is the best Zip I've ever seen play. I'm still biased against him due to his size, and, because of that, I still don't think he'll have a pro career anywhere. But I've got to admit that I think he's playing at a level even an notch above where others on my all-timers-list were playing when they wore the blue & gold. Comparing bigs with guards is apples and oranges. But, having said that, my list looks like this: 1. LCJ 2. Rome 3. Wood 4. Jimmal Ball 5. Zeke Marshall 6. Jamie Bosley 7. Tree 8. Quincy Diggs 9. Dru Joyce III 10. Tron Jenkins For reference, I began watching Zips basketball religiously during the last year of the Coleman Crawford era.

Love our rivalries with Buffalo, Kent, and Ohio. It's pretty awesome having 3 sincere, bitter rivals.

Good point. Idk.

Congrats, Brandon! But I've got to admit I'm a little confused by this... he's that good? What's up? What's the thinking with all these programs? Maybe bring in a mature guy who they can plug right in to be an insurance policy/solid backup to give their younger linemen a year to develop?

I haven’t read this entire thread, so forgive me if I’m repeating what most likely everyone else has already mentioned, but we’re not going anywhere if X’s stroke doesn’t come back around. He can’t throw it in the ocean right now. If he doesn’t find his stroke we could lose our last 3 games.

Gotta give credit when it's due. I didn't see the game, but the final score indicates KD's Duquesne squad once again gave Dayton all they could handle last Saturday night. After losing to Dayton by only 4 points (73-69) on January 29th, the Dukes hung tough with the Flyers once again and only lost by 10 (80-70) on Saturday.

Good stuff

Good article on a legitimate concern.

I go to most games, but didn’t make it yesterday. The crowd looked good on tv and Groce & Frenchy both commented on the crowd’s enthusiasm during the postgame show.

My God. This article from some dude named Fred Cay - Beacon Journal "correspondent" - is vastly superior to the drivel we regularly get from G.T. It actually reads as if he sincerely enjoyed both viewing the game and writing the piece.

If you saw the game this article is worthless. But I can't disagree with this... "...second-half issues have showed up for much of the season as well. The Zips led by 12 at halftime, but couldn’t put the RedHawks away definitively in the second half... ...In what could prove to be the most important week of the season, with UA facing Bowling Green and Buffalo, the Zips will need to ramp it up to finish the season on the upswing heading into the MAC Tournament."

3 straight W’s! Peaking at the right time?

If I only have a men's basketball ticket, can I get into the women's game?

The final draft of this story will be in tomorrow's paper. This draft still has a lot of awkwardly-worded sentences.

Just spitballing here, but Ali Ali is a legit 6'8" & he looks to me like he could put on some muscle over the next 2 years. Do you guys think he could move to a power forward/stretch 4 position? If so, we could look something like this going into next season: PG: LCJ Tribble Clarke W: Trimble Dawson W: Dailey Edwards P: Reece Ali P: Currie Sayles

Tied in the bottom of the ninth & my video feed goes black. Anyone else having trouble with it?
