Obviously. In keeping with the credibility this proposed league has demonstrated, if any of the following have not already been claimed by another franchise, I recommend the Akron: Facade, Mirage, Placebos, Pretenders, or Shams.

Hopefully he can pack on another 30 pounds. We desperately need to get some decent-sized linemen.

Interesting article. This may be the first time we have ever beat out Akron for a recruit.

We were fortunate to get out of there with a win tonight. Looked extremely vulnerable to the quick counter attack. Think that's why the Zips played in the defensive end the last ten minutes. If it hadn't been for the LTS factor tonight things could have ended very badly for the good guys.

A chemically bonded team may win championships, but later the authorities will take them away; just ask the US cycling team.

Zips will lose three games that they shouldn't. Each will be the referee's fault.

GoZips - which players do NOT need to shed a few pounds?

If you can't get a 6th year of eligibility maybe it should be called a "short-sleeved shirt."

What Twitter rumor?

I have to agree there are problems with the ND boundary. The map indicates all of SD is NDSU territory. Many in SD would rather slash their wrists than be pro anything ND.

I'm most concerned that Alaska is missing completely. Did them damn Canadians make off with our biggest state?

The Miami/BG game is not all that BIG or HUGE, and there is a small amount of traffic on their fan web sites.

Why would we start at 5 if the NCAA says we can't start till 5:30? Are we trying to get a jump start on NCAA violations this season?

I would like the Zips to beat any D1 team in the near future.

The primary reason for ushers is to help people find a seat if they are having difficulty. The services of an usher shouldn't be required to assure that reserved seat holders who show up to the game get to sit in their reserved seats. Years ago I had great seats for Nebraska football games. On more than one occasion when I showed up people were in our seats. Normally, all you do is get to your seats and tell the trespassers that they are in your seats and they move. One time a guy responded,"But I have tickets!" I replied, "Great, that means you have seats to sit in, but these are mine." They moved. If anyone had been stupid enough to not move, the services of an usher might again be required, but if I hadn't showed up I would have had no problem with an interloper using the seats.

I hope that it doesn't happen because retaining vigilant personnel is critical, but technically that usher should be fired for letting you sit in those choice last row seats without a proper ticket. You must be a pretty smooth talker. PS - great story - can anyone beat it?

His uncle, dReal, does not constitute everyone on this board.

Yes, way far back (almost a year). Don't have his 2011 stats handy, but am fairly sure he improved on his 2009 and 2010 performance. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2011-12/bios/tonga_phil00 Note that Phil had a brother Danny who played at both Oregon and Oregon State. Interesting combination.

Regardless of position, each student-athlete should have monster hands.

Based on the FIRST sentence in the blog, I'm thinking he got the 4 years.

George has certainly changed the look of his blog.

I believe the Zips center just set an NCAA record for most false starts in a game by a center. He should watch the ball and not move until he sees himself snap it.

Zips by 14.

Yes, if we had they at the JAR this year than we could really show them.
