Blue & Gold

DeKalb, Oxford & Mount Pleasant are tough road trips. I'm going to pick us to run in sand tonight and lose a game we shouldn't. Always happens a few times a year.

Beacon Journal: 'Big Dog' Johnson has unleashed his multiple skills for Zips

It really is. This is why I've mentioned in the past that universities shouldn't have athletics budgets. All athletics expenditures should be categorized as advertising expenses, because that's what they really are.

Zuriel Sanders "liked" Malik Wooldridge's tweet to DeAmonte & replied "Tell him Leek " Zuriel is a DB from Firestone. I thinnnnnnk we're trying to get Zuriel to walk on. He was honorable mention all-state. Just from stalking on twitter, I know he, Jemarilin Suggs, Marquise Bridges, DeAmonte King & one other player from STVM have been friends since middle school & call themselvesThe Fab Five. Hopefully they'll all stay home & represent! Go Zips!!

He's best friends with Jemarulin Suggs & Marquise Bridges.

Don't know the implications of a collaborative agreement, but suppose it can't be bad.

This one is on WatchESPN Linky

I'd like to see this be a matchup each and every year.

^^You guys are talking past each other... Kidd from Garfield is 6-7, 330 Brimage from East is 6-2, 265 Brim is the one who's presently a bit undersized for D-1 DT. But he'll easily put on 20 pounds, maybe 25. As it stands now Brim's a bit of a tweener; too big for DE, too small for DT. But he's a player, so hopefully we'll find a place for him. I'm sure we will.

Yahoo.com: 6 recruits flip on Minnesota coach's first day Fleck is known as a ferocious recruiter. When introduced to the media on Friday, he made it clear that recruiting is what makes his program go. “The number one thing in this culture in this program is recruiting,” Fleck said. “Recruiting is the number one pipeline, and lifeline to any program. What does that mean? It means we are going to recruit our student-athletes every single day with the positivity and energy of the University of Minnesota football every day to think University of Minnesota is the greatest place on earth. That is what we’re going to do.”

Utomi, Utomi, Utomi. His D can't possibly be so bad as to get zero PT. Dude's got an NBA body.

This development has been one of the biggest disappointments for me. Josh was a sublime PG in high school & the only two recruits I've ever been as excited about signing have been Zeke Marshall & Jimmal Ball. I was more excited about signing Josh than I was about us signing Big Dog & I knew Big Dog had the chance to be a great one. But Josh just doesn't seem to be quick enough at this level to be anything other than a spot-up 3-point shooter. I never saw that coming.

What's with this turning on Bowden? Let me remind everyone that we had our most successful season as a D-1 program last year. This year was, most certainly, a disappointment. But we lost a ton on D & would have still made a bowl game and (I'm going to say) won the MAC East if Woody hadn't been hurt. And this year's recruiting class is shaping up to be the likes of which we've been looking for since we moved to D-1 (can't believe it's taken so long to begin to get the local talent to buy in).

That is pretty bad. I would really like to believe that if we were ever ranked #15 in the country & had a visit from College GameDay we'd have 30K.

I thought I had read somewhere that he had an offer from Baylor? Anyone else remember that?

^^Didn't they sell out the nationally televised game -vs- mighty Buffalo?

DT Uriah Gilbert was named Division 3-A 1st-Team All-Florida Uriah is UGIII's "little" brother

What'd he say about my mom?!?!

IMHO, that's what most ppl pay money to see.

Big time. After a decade of pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-launch-a-three, it's so refreshing to have a little variety.
