Blue & Gold

I hope we do not lose you...I think you are an astute fan and I enjoy your posts. +1. We need you, Hip!

Word is, from the "Tree" thread, that Tree will be back for the Middle Tennessee game. Big addition, Tree is, being our ony real "big" off the bench. WVU exposed our lack of depth in the frontcourt w/o Tree. Speaking of WVU exposing our lack of depth... how about the most important position on the court, PG. Is Rico good to go against MTSU? Again, man, what an unbelievably huge role AA fills on this team. Somewhat ironic that our team is indeed the deepest team - talent wise - I believe I've ever seen from the Zips. But the thing is, we are stocked with athletes, most suitable for the wing, and are still a bit thin in the frontcourt & awfully thin @ PG. Jeez, we're the Miami Heat of the NCAA.

Good news.

Rah, rah, rye! Kick 'em in the eye! Rah, rah, ree! Kick 'em in the knee! Rah, rah, rass! Kick 'em in the other knee!

What does that entail?

I like what I am seeing, but watching this game reveals how big of a jump it is from a D2 school to a D1A. This looks like a glorified D1 high school game. We should be happy the Zips didn't play either team this year. Sadly, I think you're right.

7-3 WSU @ the half.

Bump. Kick off time.

I wondered how you had heard of an ogoh. Lord knows I hadn't. Wikipedia: "Ogoh-ogoh are statues built for the Ngrupuk parade, which takes place on the eve of Nyepi day in Bali, Indonesia."

To whom? To most Zips fans, obviously. I've never seen the ZNO board light up like it did last Tuesday w/ all the Jim Tressel rumors. Maybe it as just the "savior complex" kicking in. Just because there is a mob, doesn't mean the mob is right. For sure. Just saying most Zips fans will be let down by almost anyone after having dreams of Tressel. I think Paul Winters could be great here.

Here is the link for today's Wayne State -vs- Minnesota Duluth game. Just click on the game & it'll take you to the live stream page. 1:00 p.m. [Edit]: You may want to keep in mind that Minn-Duluth is the #1 ranked team in the country, so Wayne State is the decided underdog. I guess Minn-Duluth is a powerhouse, so this may not be the best game to watch to get a first impression of a Paul Winters team.

We're lucky we didn't have to play either NIU or Toledo this year. The WMU game was abysmal enough.

When I heard the rumors I always figured it was just pot & that he just needed to grow up. Now it's obvious that he needed professional help.

Btw, it's 10:00 a.m. Saturday 12/3 & on Yahoo.com's homepage "Jim Tressel" is the #1 trending topic. Click "Jim Tressel" & the first two stories that pop up are related to him declining the UA offer. Idk what's up with that, being it's a few days after the fact.

Nice.

Akron Beacon Journal

I'm afraid, now that Jim Tressel has politely declined our offer, any other candidate is going to be a bit of a let down. I think Paul Winters could be very successful here.

It is a shame that The Sentinel writer lost his job at UA over the incident. However, I don't believe the article was ever posted on GoZips.com, like the writer of this piece believes. He states, "We have tracking statistics that show where the hits on our website come from and there is proof that thousands of hits on our website came via the University of Akron's website." He may be confusing ZipsNation.org with GoZips.com? They probably did receive thousands of hits from ZipsNation.org, but UA would have never put that on GoZips.com, right? Additionally, the more credible rumor has it that Tressel was at the JAR a good hour before the game, but never actually attended the game. Finally, not to be judgmental, but even if The Sentinel is correct, it's not a very well written piece. IMHO, that hurts their credibility right there. But it's rather clear Tressel was on campus a couple (few?) times over the past two weeks.

It does seem like this is a great game every year. They showed a clip of our last second TD. NIU going for the game winning FG w/ 5-seconds remaining. Frank Solich icing the kicker. Taking a page out of the iCoach playbook!

That's crazy. A WOMEN's soccer stadium?! (No offense to the ladies.) But man, they must have more $$ than they know what to do with?

They crushed UCLA by 19, in LA.

Pretty sure it's on here Oops, I posted too soon.

What would Ianello's graph look like?

Crap!!!
