underachieved? might wanna check those pre-season predictions brotha.

Better yet, when a student walks in, hand them a wristband and inform them that their section is down low. yes, students should not only all be allowed to sit down low, they should have to go there, until it is full. i get the feeling that a lot of people going to games that don't sit down low actually are rowdies, but just kind of don't like the regulars, if you will. so they sit up top.

I mostly blame the JAR. Absolutely. The facility was to blame, not the students. The JAR was only allowing older folks in for this game. The JAR stopped students at the door and wouldn't let them in. If I were a student, I'd organize a protest against the JAR for discrimination. Obviously, the JAR wasn't stopping us students from attending, but it may have been preventing an accurate reading of how many students were actually there. The floor seats were fairly empty last night, but who is to say that there weren't quite a few students in the GA seating? Until we have one large designated student section, it is going to be really difficult to tell how many students attend. From where I was sitting on the floor, I picked out several students in Rowdies shirts in GA. I know that last year as a freshmen I didn't join the Rowdies and I attended quite a few games in the GA section. I'm not on the Rowdies board, but if I were here is my suggestion for filling the floor seats: I think that the floor seats should be opened up for all students 10-15 minutes before tip off. If you're a Rowdy and want to guarantee a floor seat, then show up a little early. Otherwise, those seats should be offered to the other UA students. Last night's basketball game was great and it's a shame that more floor seats weren't filled. I agree entirely Jacob...ZachtheZip and i had this exact conversation at halftime last night. What would also be a good idea is to announce it as well over the PA that they can move down. The strictness of only allowing rowdies down low is really really stupid. fixed

Zeke needs to stop taking stupid fouls. The refs might be a little harsh on him, but he needs to nit put himself in positions where they can call those fouls. As my basketball coach used to say "You guys are the dumbest smart kids I know."

Let's all welcome Alex's girlfriend to the board!

In the past 2 years, Steve, and the Zips, have played their best ball when he was running the point. I'll leave it at that.

He's very much on the radar of many. Thought it was cool to see Boals and Lamont Paris facing each other as asst. coaches today. Thats a real credit to KD and our program. CONGRATULATIONS Lamont! (easy way to hate on tosu without having to head over to the Smack forum ) uh oh, here comes buckzip.

Hopefully we're getting hot at the right time. We beat the top two teams in the MAC, so no game is out of the question. Woulld be nice to see Zeke stay out of foul trouble, we will need him down the stretch.

we're such a different team with Zeke on the court. Our success will be directly related to how long he stays out of foul trouble. The sky is the limit if he can stay away from the 2 ticky tacky fouls he gets a game.

Buckzip entering and accusing everyone of penis envy in 3,2,1..

I like to think I'm pretty conservative, but man...some of you need to get out of NEO/the 20th century. Maybe you can take the train.

Off the top of my head, dayton is DII or DIII football, but DI bball. Duquesne is DI bball but non-scholarship football.

Well, that throws a massive wrench in things. The rumors were there, but i thought it was just fanciful thinking because the logistics are much too complicated. I expect the MWC will invite more teams on a reactionary basis in the near future. This is a ridiculous development. Texas Christian in the Big East?! The BCS should revoke the Big East's BCS status. They're simply not worthy. lol you realize they are ranked #3? not to mention, who would their bid go to? The MWC who lost utah, tcu and byu?

Bought two for today's game, and the delivery details on the order were blank. I'm hoping this means they are will call? As I haven't received them yet. I called the ticket office and of course they are closed. Any help?

You're killing me with this Brian Kelly example. Not saying you have a bad point, but, they stink.

Brian Kelly, really? Have you watched a Notre Dame game this year? Given the talent at ND, I'd say he has maximized their potential. And to think, iCoach is partly responsible for that. Their last 3 recruiting classes are ranked #14, 21, and 2, respectively, according to Rivals. They have talent.

El'Rico Jones never made it through camp. I could've told you that would happen. Not even sure if he made it to camp. The kid went to a high school near mine. Not only was he probably not D-1 talent, he had a great knack for getting in trouble and getting bad grades.

He reminds me of Big Ben in '04. He was 14-19, nothing too great, 170 yards or so I believe. But not many mistakes. We'll see how he looks next year when they open the playbook for him, but I think he'll succeed. He seems like a hard worker with a good head on his shoulders. And he is a winner. Yikes, go Steelers

God the basketball team is refreshing. I hate the people that try to pit football vs. soccer vs. basketball, so I'll try not to sound like one. But we can all agree football sucked (understatement of the year) this season. Looking forward to some winning hoops!

With the exception of soccer, we would get demolished in the BE. Initially yes, as would UCF, or Villanova. Recruiting would obviously improve, moving up to a BCS conference. Don't get me wrong, we have 0% of moving to the BE.

Pain

Browns fans are funny. You guys act like the pain of a helmet to helmet hit doesn't apply to Harrison. Plus, Massaquoi turned around and took 3 steps before he was hit. I'm not a 300 pound NFL player, but I'd imagine if Massaquoi couldn't slow down when he saw Harrison, it may have been a little harder for James to let up. He's pretty big. p.s. No one seems to be mentioning the helmet to helmet hit that sidelined Mendenhall at the end of the game.

Their "tradition" is alive and well today in Pittsburgh. James Harrison is a real good example of a Can't State athlete. Josh Cribbs is a good example in the other way (talks with the grammar of a 4 year old) but at least he's not a classless loser. Which hit would you describe as classless? I assume that's what you're talking about. The one on Cribbs, he was a running back at that point, so totally legal. Or the one on Massaquoi, when he took 3 steps before getting hit by Harrison? Anyways, I would describe him as more of a winner than a loser. At least Can't sucks though, I'll agree on that Neither hit was legal. They were cheap shots and Harrison deserves to be fined! Cribbs was already going down, so he lead with his head and wend right into the side of his helmet. MoMass was exactly the same as the TJ Ward hit he got fined for. Just goes to show you the extremes a team goes to in order to win. I guess the Browns could have targeted the steelers running back, but we're not that kind of team. We don't feel the need to knock guys out of the game to win. Want a comparison, remember Singletary's punch on Linhart? Punch our best player? refs missed it until they looked at the replay...wanted to ignore it... Can't state is classless the steelers are classless oswho is classless you clearly don't know the rules of the NFL. but this isn't an NFL forum so I will leave this alone. Go Zips! and Steelers
