  1. The things that drive me crazy about watching the Zips right now are things like lining up offsides, wasting time outs because we don't know what we are doing, 12 men on the field, personal fouls, poor clock management and the like. If these were eliminated, there would be a good chance the Zips win vs. Ohio and Central in spite of the lack of offensive production.

    Boy is this the truth. This is why I really hope we get to a bowl game. I hope by getting the extra practices/reps, stuff like this starts to go away.

  2. Haven't looked at one of these in a long time. Reading back through this thread brings up some dark days. :chair:

    8. UMess (1-7)

    This weekend the Minutemen host Akron. No offense to the Zips, but they are merely garnish for the UMass schedule that follows, with a trip to Oopsilanti on Nov. 14 and a visit from My Hammy of Ohio one week later. It's going to be like the three-man staredown at the end of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" if we replaced The Good with something not as good.

  3. I'll predict that one of the guys coming off the bench will start playing well at some point during the season. A ZN member will suggest that the player should be starting. A ZN member will argue that it doesn't matter who starts, and that player provides a spark off the bench. He will probably cite some sixth man of the year stat. Another ZN member will argue that if that player starts, he would score more points to help the team. Another ZN member will argue that even if he starts he isn't going to get anymore minutes.

  4. There is more to the upgrade than a coat of paint. The current upper tier chair backs will be moved to the other side. New chair backs in the north end to form a student section complete with a concession stand. The west side will get new chair backs rising higher and covering half the track which will be eliminated. The center scoreboard will be replaced with a modern all graphic design. Two corners will get data scoreboards with game statistics such as player stats. The south end will be gutted and replaced with an extended Tommy Evans lounge with seating facing the court. Tommy Evans will get upgraded food services and entry will be by large donation same as now. At court level there will be an atrium that runs up through the new lounge. There will be chair back seating. The expected capacity is approximately 5,000. This modernization is a five to seven year stop gap to buy time for raising funds to build a new arena.

    Sounds great. Does anyone know the budget?
