What about where Central Hower is currently....demo that and build arena there?

ABORT!!! ABORT!!!! STAY IN THE MAC!!! Just kidding...I would still take a conference move in order to get better over the long haul. Playing in the MAC will not prepare you for a deep tournament run. I know Can't State made a run and OU did as well but in the grand scheme of things I think playing the best will make you the best and will build a consistently good team that can make the tourney every year, and without the auto-bid. Also, VCU was out of their minds. They would have beaten 90% of the teams in the tournament last night the way they played. Akron looked like a different team and not a good one.

Do you think we would actually jump from the MAC to the Big 10 or another Power conference? Butler went from the Horizon to the A10 and now to the Big East. This is a stepping stone if we ever hope to move to a Big conference. The A10 is a great league, probably the best non power conference along with the MVC. The A10 got 5 bids to the tourney...MAC is stuck at 1 bid. I think it would be foolish to at least not explore it. What is the tagline for the basketball program, Think Bigger?

Even just a Basketball only move? Of course football may be able to actually compete in FCS!

Seems like a golden opportunity to try to weasel our way into a better conference for Basketball? If we make a small run in the tourney do you think we could make a play to get in to the A10? Also, with a potential new arena on the rise, it seems like it would be a nice fit

I see Massillon vs McKinley is at Can't Saturday night at 7pm? Wonder if this may have been played at the Info if it weren't for the the UMass game already scheduled? Wonder what the attendance comparision will be? Massillon vs McKinley Part 2 or UMass (0-5,0-9) vs. Akron (0-6, 1-9) Possible lost revenue maybe...lol?

That was a very entertaining game, crowd was very animated! The 15 yard hits were terrible calls for the most part, I think one earlier in the game was warranted. There was no leading with the head on the last drive, it was his shoulder and when Miami runs those quick over the middle routes and they catch the ball 2 yards in front of you, I am not sure what the refs expect the defender to do other than run into the receiver. Most of them were "bang-bang" plays The refs saw a vicious hit and threw the flag that was bottom line. Really there is no other way to tackle when it happens that fast, they have no time to drop low and wrap up. Field Judge missed a blatant hold in the 2nd quarter on a Dysert scramble coming my way down towards the "closed" end, he watched the hold for a good 15 yards and didn't throw the flag? Two guys on the sideline, don't know who they were, they were part of the guests or whoever is allowed to stand on the sidelines down around the 10 yard line were giving the Field judge an earful, so much that the APD had to grab them and pull them back...lol Overall the refs made terrible calls but our secondary is atrocious. We just do not have the talent to defend a good passing team like that. My biggest complaint and this is rampant across all levels of football but especially with our secondary, is the defensive backs trying to play defense without even looking at the ball! I can't for the life of me figure out why they try to defend a receiver and just rely on watching the receivers eyes and waiting to react until the receiver makes a catching motion...If you are a DB...LOOK FOR THE DAMN BALL!!! Geez, it was horrible, bad technique IMO. Overall fun day at the stadium. If we had a secondary, we are a potential Bowl team. Great game by Chisolm, hard running and really finished on each play. DW makes some really nice throws and our receivers makes some nice catches. Amazing this is essentially the same talent that Ianello had. I for one am excited as ever for Zips football and cant wait until Bowden & co. assemble some more talent. Extra thanks to the gentleman who gave my friends and I, four free tickets while we were standing in line to buy ours. Home side, section 106, row 15. Thank you sir! Guess that was karma for two years ago when I gave away to someone standing in line an extra ticket I had... just 3 times over!

She's HOT!!!

Just saw the ratings released for this upcoming game and the mighty Zips are ranked........ #120 out of #120 Overall Should be fun trying to rebuild the program and take them from worst to....?

Finally! better late than never....I see our #1 rated fan base filling the seats in the video...must be the Hoban vs St.V mode added to the game!

"Take off...eh!"

Ugghhhh...I am sick and tired of playing Penn State! Play a different Big 10(12) school so I can travel to a new stadium. Play Minnesota, Mich St, Northwestern, Illinois, Iowa, somebody please! No more Indiana, PSU or Ohio State, blah.

Offer up some free tattoos to T.Pryor and the gang and you're in! Seriously though, I think the U of A may sell any allotment they get later in the summer(contact the ticket office) or you could pick some up from a seller/broker in Columbus, that is the first game of the year and classes aren't in session for OSU yet so they shouldn't be too hard to pick up.

33.97 % capacity on average Bring back the beer garden!

Congratulations to all of the players and coaches!
