The first hint it was going to be ugly was when they told Michigan to prepare to host first AND SECOND round matches.

What the heck happened to the women's team? They didn't even have an entry in most events.

If by "stats" you are referring to his fairly pathetic .215 batting average so far this year, it should be considered that he has been improving in this area in recent weeks and his fielding at second base for the Asheville Tourists has been solid.

Just don't tell the Capt. than Francisco, Jose, Miguel, Leandro, Mateo, and Luis Obispo are not on the roster either because we will never hear the end of it,

I hear the most popular drink being ordered there is the Bin Laden: two shots and a splash of water.

I'm skeptical either CSU or Akron's baseball team has a budget as large as $500K per year. And if you keep in mind that most of the team members are paying at least half their own way through school (many are paying the full ride) the institutional savings of cutting the sport are marginal. Akron is not going to lose baseball as it is a required MAC sport, but I could see the university saving 500K a year if they could drop. You have four coaches salaries and around ten scholarships, that alone accounts for most of it. The operating budget is not half a million, but total savings, I could see it. I can't argue with an position as well thought out as yours.

I agree. I hate that our coach is recruiting good players. He should be spending his time on lesser-talented, low-hanging fruit...we'd have a ton of commitments by now. I don't really care about their sexual preference, just as long as they are good football players.

Wake up and put on your glasses man. Obama is the one with the big ears.

I don't think the war-mongers would start anything unless the fat cats give them the thumbs up, but we have to do something to boost Obama's sagging popularity so winning a preemptive war may be a good thing. I suggest Japan; they seem to be preoccupied right now.

I wondered how long it would take you to get rid of those posts.

Does it take both Gilliam and Walsh to offset the loss of Euton? Just how slow of foot are these guys?

I'm a little concerned about team chemistry with this guy Committed to St. Johns. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/ncb/news/story?id=6443546 I was unaware of who I was dealing with until reading the linked article, but now I realize that two of God's Gift's siblings, Grace and Precious, have sent me emails offering substantial compensation to assist them in spiriting millions of dollars out of their country.

All of you have ignored Zach's original suggestion. Would our students show up and compete for a chance to stand on the Colorado State sideline for one game in an official CSU jersey? I think they would, as long as someone else pays for their expenses.

I believe the military is still running on an all volunteer basis and, therefore, none of these young men are in danger of being drafted.

At first I was pretty sure that the departure of Mr Pittis was just one more sign that the KD empire at Akron is crumbling, but it turns out that it's University policy that if we have someone on the basketball staff for three years and can't come up with a title for that person's position then they must leave. Best of luck to Cole. Make us proud.

As long as everyone else in the conference got worse I'm with you.

No doubt. Where in the article does it say Pittis was a bball assistant?

GP1 texted this one to me. Dollar General Division and Family Dollar Division. LOL seriously.

That's what I was thinking. If we can't contain our own offense, those guys in Cowlumbus will just run right over us. I respectfully disagree. For many reasons. #1, Icoach reined in the D. The game was to primarily showcase what the Offense had/had not learned in camp. Obviously, Icoach didn't want to come away with any injuries on either side of the ball. Icoach knows what he's doing. I believe as does Icoach, that this years team is vastly improved over last season's. I for one, Kant wait for the Columbus State Suckeyes. I think we will be competitive (and maybe more). And another thing: I thought this forum was for ZIPS Fans. I'm pretty sure that our Zips read these comments. Posting negative comments does Nothing to help, and it does hurt. If you want wins, you gotta support the team (good times & bad), especially bad times. I believe we got a gem in the making. I've heard good things about this team and I've no reason to doubt it. We all need to get on board early to help make this team what Icoach and the players already believe, i.e., We've got a good chance at getting some big-time recognition this season. We want it and are ready for it. Bring them Suckeye Punk Asses on!!! I wish you were correct.

More importantly, it is critical that we give each of the divisions a distinctive name to properly convey the importance and tradition of the MAC. It is my understanding that Leaders and Legends are already being used. Any suggestions?

I think you and I may be wondering about the same thing DrZ.....Doesn't anyone use a comb anymore? I believe combs are still an important component of many people's personal grooming arsenal. My guess is that other events tend to crowd out "well-combed hair" from the number one slot on most folk's priority list when they are being booked into jail.

I can't argue with that.

If the Chattahoochee Technical Institute is looking for a safety this guy may become available.
