Your link doesn't seem to exist. Hmmm you're correct. They must have taken it down temporarily because I read the full article earlier. They mention all of the expected (scheme switch, QB named in August, Lemon ordeal, Ianello's recruiting reputation) and some it up by saying we should expect some "rookie" HC mistakes in this year of transition. If you Google "JD Brookhart" and look at the "News" options only, the Orlando Sentinel story picking the Zips at #91 will be first in the list of three. I'll bet they'll have it back up tomorrow. Here is a new link. New Link I know that sum on this board appreciate your effort in posting this link. I due two. Zipmeister grammar police! "dew" would've been funnier. And I'd go with "you're effort." You need to optimize your making fun of other posters.

Right on. I also don't understand why it would be bad for (potentially) 20k+ getting a glimpse of our D-1 diamond that would otherwise not enter the doors. A lot of folks don't even understand that we ARE D-1. This could open up a lot of eyes as well.

Well, I haven't posted in a while but I thought I'd chime up on this one. I'm THOROUGHLY disgusted by this decision. Do I see the logic in it? Sure, who doesn't? But what a kick in the junk from the administration to some of the biggest fans of the school and of athletics. If anything, you divide that lot and make separate entrances maintaining a portion for those of us who can't afford to donate major monetary amounts but do support the school in other ways such as ticket and merchandise purchases and general exposure from such things. My UA flag flies year round outside me house, and yep I'm outnumbered by the Suckeye flags even in my North Akron neighborhood. Tom, get on the ball and make an adjustment and quit trying to take advantage of your most ardent supporters when there's plenty of room for those donors all around the stadium in "less visible" areas(read: you won't see the empty spots when they abandon the team when it gets cold and/or does poorly).

I try to stay quiet on the Jake front, but seriously? Reading this page shows Jake to simply be a troll in a Zips hat. Don't feed him/it. Hope one of the UA teams wins it, having a great engineering school and 2 of the 5 finalists should give us a good chance.

F Jim Tressel and F Ohio State. Done. Oh, wouldn't that be a recruiting violation after he signed his NLOI? Not that those pesky 'rules' apply to the Suckeyes and their faithful.

An absolutely horrid abysmal awful horrendous stupid decision. It is truly all about $$. The MAC rep will be forced to a 15-16 and therefore less chances of upsets of the "big 6".

http://www.wbex.com/cc-common/news/section...article=6988824 This just popped up in my Zips news thread on Yahoo. My condolences to Humpty and family...what a terrible loss and at such a young age.

I firmly support this thread being removed from Zipsnation!

Right on. Coach Ianello said recently that he'll staying away from tape to discern his opinions on current players. These guys will have to show on the practice field where they should be on the depth chart. If they really want it, it should show on the field and then on the depth charts. Work hard, prove you deserve it, and you'll keep your place. Think you're entitled to that spot and don't show the effort? Ride the pine or take a trip to 1AA. GO ZIPS!

Keep the observations/score updates going for those of us not near a TV. Thanks!

The "margin" heading is useless. How many schools are there that are hemorrhaging money but report their student fees as revenue to they break even? Akron doesn't do that, and so it makes us look much worse than we are. Wait, so you think that all the other schools are fibbing to make their basketball margins better but Akron is the only "honest" school out there and therefore looks worse? Man...and I thought I wore Zips-colored glasses...

Wow. Sort this by "Margin" and the Zips are 3rd from the bottom...not good.

+1 also. I've had the pleasure of meeting CK and ZW on a couple occasions, and they're great guys that share a passion for our Zips with a lot of us that frequent the Nation daily (multiple times ). Anyways, we have the best set up on the web of any team in the MAC, and better than some of the Big 6. Myself just being around active on the site for just over 3 years, I've seen it grow exponentially. I was member 374 back in February of 06, and I'm sure we're pushing 10k now (maybe the mods can clear up a ballpark registered user number?). That's a big jump. I'm not sure how long ZN was around before '06, but still. We're proud, growing, and as fans, Zipsnation is actually a very big part of it. Heck, we've gotten pub in the PD and the ABJ!

Great game, very exciting to watch even from Daytona. OU deserved to win a very evenly matched game. Although I jusy wish we'd STOP THE F*CKING BALL ON FAST BREAKS, I'll be rooting OU this weekend

I took a gander at the K-ent board just to get a feel for their "fans." They have one guy over there who is reasonable saying "hats off to OU for playing a better game." Everyone else is b*tching because they lost because of "the way the MAC chose to seed the tournament." :lol: :lol:

Right on. You know, I said to my friend in the stands that after the after the game Steve had vs K-SU-C-K-S that he was going to go off for 6 3s vs EMU. Even though he only hit 4, I said I'm still right because that last one was worth as much as 10 3s.

But, wouldn't this be nice?

Of course Zips fans are glad K.e.n.t was upset, how else do you think Akron is going to win the tournament? You won it last year and you'll probably win it this year but you'll never get it going through us.I was in that section talking all that trash, I'd probably do it again. We'll enjoy the NIT...just remember, only one of us knows for certain our team is going to a post season bracket at this point. Let's Go F.lashes, 2-0 this season and regular season Well, a win tomorrow would get us a trip to our 4th straight championship game. Now granted, we've only won 1 of the 3, but I'm pretty sure a couple years back we made our way to the championship through you. Thanks for stopping by!

Well, I went ahead and took off a little bit early on Thursday to make the drive up. If anyone has any idea where to find tickets cheaper than $20, shoot me a PM please.

Any word on TV for the quarterfinals? I'm going to try and get out of work early, but it'd be easier to trek across the street to Barley House to catch the game.

It was nothing personal. Where I'm from you disagree with a guy you call him and his mama every name in the book, and an hour later your best friends again. I'm sure you're a fine fellow yourself when you aren't blinding yourself to the reality of what a good college basketball team means outside of our pathetic conference this year.Do not be surprised to see Can't bounced by 20+ in th first round of the NCAA's. You heard it here first.I will buy you a cold one if Can't State gets bounced in the first round by 20 provided that they don't play a top ten team. If that so happens to play out just PM me and I'll meet you at the pub of your choice. You have nothing to lose.When did K-ent get awarded the MAC Tournament Championship?

I know it's early, but can we get that "crap down leg" icon. One team is playing big-time, making huge shots. One is not. It's a shame I'm close to leaving with 12 min to go.

Well...it's not pretty. Man defense is breaking down every time down the court. If it weren't for K-ent being 0/9 for 3s, it'd be really ugly.

If I had to pick two teams I don't want to see next week, they'd be EMU & OU.
