Blue & Gold

As has been mentioned above, we've also got two more offers out to two other players who made 1st Team All-Ohio D-II: LB Bubba Arslanian of Aurora & P Jonah Wieland of Hudson If we'd land both of those two we'd have a pretty stacked class! One criticism I've had of Bowden's recruiting is that we hadn't landed a premier running back... this year we have not one, but two 1st Team All-Ohio RB's coming in: Jemarulin Suggs (D-III) & Marquise Bridges (D-II). There are two more un-offered, but intriguing offensive prospects on the All-Ohio D-II & D-III list... both WR's: Austin Jasinski, Massillon, 6-1, 163 (D-II) (might be a little slight, but I read an article about him & he seems to be an athlete who just simply has a knack for making plays on offense, defense & special teams... just a coordinated, great athlete) & Tyler Adams, Louisville, 6-0, 175 (D-III) (I've mentioned Adams before. He's not flashy, but a really sound, consistent football player who's been putting up impressive stats for three years now. Possession receiver kinda guy.)

Undefeated WMU at #17 is an insult.

Joe Dunn mentioned a week-ish ago the MAC was ranked the #9 conference in the nation this year, the highest it's ever been rated.

This website has Nathan "Mickey" Rourke ranked as the #4 JUCO QB in the country.

Can't believe I'm jealous of EMU football

I'm fine with the non-D-I on the yearly schedule. I just wish they'd stick with area schools like Malone, Walsh or Mount Union. Make the game a little more fun. Show those teams a good time & treat their fans well & we'd likely have more Zips fans at the end of the night.

Buffalo's playing Creighton tonight. If you are able to log in you should be able to watch the game HERE.

It would have been nice to have played them before the YSU game. Get another game under our belts. We may have thought YSU would just be a warm-up game, but we looked pretty bad against them.

Precisely.

I especially have little confidence... presently... in the Zips' 2016-17 edition.

Bump I had fun re-reading through this old thread. Thought some of you might too.

I cannot give anymore Likes today

Who are these guys? I'm only aware of one: Thaddeus Snodgrass, the transfer from Kentucky.

Bubbas a great LB. I can't believe we're his first D-1 offer. He's not undersized either, at 6-1, 210. If we sign Bubba we'd have both the D-1 (Reggie Corner Jr.) & D-II (Bubba) Northeast Inland District DPOY's.

AP article Zips shot 50% from 3 (10-of-20) & 15-of-19 from the free throw line.

Earlier in this thread, or in another thread (?), I said that Bowden had a tough call to make this off season concerning Milwee. Someone replied something like, "Tough decision?! Having a tumor removed isn't a tough decision." But I was talking about what you stated above... Bowden's a loyal guy and it's going to be tough on him to demote Milwee. Has Bowden ever let an assistant go or demoted an assistant since he's been here? Not that I recall. Bowden is a very nice and loyal person but, as you said, that can sometimes work against you.

My 1350 internet feed keeps cutting out. Anyone else having this problem? 1350 online is usually pretty smooth for me.

Zips win 84-75. Zips scored 51 in the 2nd half.

55-45 Zips on 12-0 run

Zips up 48-45

There we go... Utomi w/ two 3's in a row. TD-M running the point now w/ Josh Williams @ the 2.

Really? A comparison to Johnny Manziel, huh? Too many easy and painful jokes to be had with that one.
