Blue & Gold

Oooh, now that would truly be an honest-to-goodness original idea. We'd be beating Oregon to the punch on that one & probably get some national attention - not all positive, of course, but as the old saying goes, any publicity is good publicity.

Amen, brother.

They gave a sneak-peak on facebook yesterday. They look pretty sweet, but alas, not gold. (In fact, these don't have a shred of gold to them; strictly blue & white. Hmm.) I posted on facebook that I liked them (I simply like alternate jerseys - I think the gray jerseys are very sharp), that the extremely dark shade of navy was very cool, but that we NEED GOLD UNIFORMS - and not just for special occasions, but as a staple. We should wear gold for every home game and maybe make the (more boring) whites the alternate. Anyhow, to the tweeters out there, re-tweet the tweet & let's see those jerseys!

Rivals.com has Keontae listed as a 3-star DT. He's given us a verbal, but is still, apparently, taking a visit to South Alabama today (1/25). Let's hope he doesn't enjoy himself too much down there. Go Zips!

Are you NewZipsFan's evil twin?

Never pee on a flat rock.

Thanks for putting that all together, Zach.

Bump. George Thomas? Michael Beaven? ABJ? Anyone?

Do we have a list of current verbals?

Those are the golds I referenced above. My favorite all-time jerseys.

Looks like a perfect spread offense RB; speedy & extremely shifty. Looks like the potential home run hitter Coach Bowden's been after.

Thanks for the tip!

"5. Eastern Michigan (9-9, 2-2): Eastern Michigan is building a reputation as the ugliest team in the MAC. They’ve gone old school Wisconsin and just bludgeon you with sound defense for 40 minutes, occasionally trying to score. But, that system is working and it keeps EMU dangerous. A five-point lead for the Eagles feels like a 15-point lead for Akron." Are you implying that our D is weak? Why was Akron the example you chose as the antithesis to EMU's stout D?

I don't mind the greys. I just love alternate uni's. The grey is great as baseball has always incorporated grey visiting jerseys into whatever a team's color scheme may be. But I feel we should definitely have gold alternate jerseys as a mainstay. The whites are sharp, but we should wear gold at home. They'd just be very cool, simple as that.

Without Chauncey we wouldn't have beaten Ken.t on Saturday.

I'm hoping for at least 7,000 seats. But Gonzaga's new basketball arena sits 6,000 & it's a nice looking facility. I'm assuming we want to include loges in our design. I'm also assuming the loges would be located between an upper level and the floor level. If those assumptions are correct, even a 6,000-seat facility would look much bigger than Gonzaga's (no loges). I just really want our arena to have a "big time" feel to it. Something that really impresses. They hit a grand slam with the Info (I'll never get over Ianello ruining our football program at the most inopportune time). I'm sure the trustees would desire a similar "wow" factor when building a new arena. Many people in the community, myself included, really only have contact with UA through football & basketball (and soccer).

Love the gold jerseys. Beautiful & unique. My favorite jerseys of all time were the golds they used to break out when Dru, Rome & Wood were playing.

Saturday's game was probably the best I've seen Zeke play. He's improved tremendously. He really did look like a future NBA player out there.

I don't know about pink/lavender. But I do know that Ken.t's court has an extremely yellow hue. Almost like they use shellac on the floor. It's been like that for years. In fact, Ken.t's yellow uni's almost blend into the color of the court like Boise's blue blends into their smurf-turf football field.

While at the game I thought Gilliam should have played more but was the unfortunate victim of KD's quirky substitution patterns. But watching the game again at home (DVR) you could see CG was sucking wind when KD brought him to the bench. Maybe CG will be back to normal by Wednesday.

It's truly just a cultural difference. UA hasn't developed much of a culture where students naturally attend games. Don't ask me why or how one would go about doing this. Home games against name non-conference opponents and occasional Sweet 16 runs would probably do the trick.

Just bought my 3 tickets. They're charging $20 GA for the Akron game. All other games' GA tickets are $12.

It does. I don't know what I was doing wrong. It was definitely User Error.
