Pretty sweet Zips' basketball spark page

Man, I am getting old. Did Jest even play last year? I thought he was in JUCO last year & this was his first year back? But when I look at the Zips' 2018 roster, yeah, his name is listed.

^^They whiffed on Dwight Smith.

ABJ/GT: Zips ready to move on from lopsided loss to Illinois as home debut awaits The Zips’ offense struggled, gaining just 192 total yards and the offensive line surrendered six sacks. Defensively, UA surrendered 401 yards and allowed the Illini to score on six of their seven trips to the red zone. ? ...This is where mitigating circumstances come into play. UA played without three key members of the team — starters Davon’te Jest at nose tackle, cornerback Alvin Davis and left tackle Trevor Brown — who didn’t make the trip for undisclosed reasons...But those players should return when the Zips face the University of Alabama-Birmingham in their home opener at noon Saturday in InfoCision Stadium. [edit] Lots of good info/stats in the article. I don't want to copy & paste too much. Give it a click.

Good point. I was only assuming...

Hoping for the proverbial marked improvement from games 1-to-2. Especially from Kato. More Brandon Lee, please. (Stay healthy, little guy.) Having 3 of our best players back won't hurt. Julian Hicks? Still can't believe we started 3 freshmen DB's last week.

Yesterday's print edition of the ABJ had an article -front page, beneath the fold - which stated something like, "Arth era at UA begins with a thud." Or something along those lines. Fair enough. But I couldn't locate the article on Ohio.com.

Wow. And thank you for checking! (I'm out of "Likes" for the day.)

Did someone say 3 of our 4 starting DB's were true freshmen? Is that true? (I did notice true freshman Randy Cochran was a starter.)

Brandon Lee looked good. Love Bubba. I've been a Bubba fan since his junior season at Aurora. Glad to see a local guy perform so well.

Our best DB, our best OL, and our best DL?!

ABJ/GT: Zips to start season with a bang against Illinois

What on earth? UMass was leading Rutgers 21-7. Then Rutgers scored 31 unanswered points... in the second quarter ?

MaxPreps lists his jersey as #11.

We're such a deep team. No Carlo Ritaccio nor Colin Biros in your starting 11, eh?
