You would think a coach that seems to pride himself on defense AND rotating deep on the bench would have one other player that would be able to help slow Spoonman down. At least provide help, or double team? If Kwan isn't the MVP, who is?

Is Cheatham the Zips MVP?

Steelers sure do like their MAC players, signed Roosevelt Nix.

I would assume GT is in Arlington to watch his favorite team play Monday night. I come here to read the opinions of Zips fans. DIG was at the game and he wrote about it (see two posts above). I would encourage any member that was at the game to write a little something. Seems like I'm in the minority, but that's what I enjoy the most about ZN.

More defense with the feet (position), less with the hands will get a lot less whistles. Basketball fundamentals: You must not just "reach-in" and take a swipe at the ball as the player dribbles by you (usually a foul)...instead you must move your feet, hustle and stay with your man, and prevent him/her from getting to the basket by getting yourself into proper position. Also, when you "reach-in", you lose your defensive stance and balance and are now easy for the offensive player to get around.

Understood. I just didn't want members to think that we don't keep an eye on accounts. Hope he/she is just on a long vacation somewhere warm.

I can't seem to find it. Please provide a link where James admits his mistake and asks for forgiveness. Per DIG:

No problem, as long as you do it in an appropriate thread. I would suggest on that has Bowden's name in the topic. Please provide a link where James admits his mistake and asks for forgiveness.

If it were on topic, I might. I might even click on a link if you provided it. Maybe you should start a new post about it. Should go over well on a ZN board. Maybe take it over to the Ken+ board, you'll get more reaction there...but probably not.

Then source it, and link it.

Love Frenchy....but he can add gasoline to an obtuse fire.

I didn't realize that. Your right then, Cooper = James (minus an awful call by one ref and being kicked out of coaching).

One stopped posting in the beginning of November, the other stopped posting at the end of November. I'm pretty sure Zipmeister used to comment on GP1's posts. I think Zipmeister started calling GP1 "the grate" one too.

James & Boz's character rightfully questioned. Perspective: Pete Rose. I would bet if the correct non call was made in the Miami game, James isn't even on a consideration list.

Lots of fouls and the opponents shooting well usually equals lazy defense. It added up last night.

He is probably pretty distracted getting ready for his favorite team to play in the National Championship game.

I know how you feel, ZN lost GP1 and Zipmeister.

Who are the announcers? Edit: Television: ESPNU. Jim Barbar (play-by-play) and Steve Donahue (analyst).

Does coach Bowden have a relationship with Braxton Miller?

I know I'm in the minority, but I wish Toledo and Northern Illinois replaced EMU and UMass. Start making posters now for the Tuesday home games. I'm taking ideas for text.

Penn State in '93 Xavier in '96 (one of the best games I witnessed at the JAR 111-113, Jimmal scored 44 in a triple overtime loss) St Joseph's '97 Purdue, Rhode Island and Wyoming in 2000 Duquesne has been to the JAR a few times if they count Dayton '08 PS I miss Huggins.

I just wish we could practice as much as Columbus can! How valuable would that be????? I could care less about a trip, that doesn't improve your team.

It befuddles my mind that someone at the U is not savvy enough to facilitate some kind of deal between The U, Nike, McDonald's, Coca-Cola and LBJ (possible Gilbert) to put some kind of deal together that benefits everyone. It might actually have to be something that has never been done before. Never mind, it doesn't surprise me at all. They need to hire someone with some real experience to make something like this happen. I'm not talking about a fake hire like Tressel. I real hire. Current status is better/easier at making excuses rather than finding a unique solution. I would hope President Scarborough has an eye on this and cleans some house. Until then, I just expect more excuses.

Josh Heupel, Jay Norvell fired at OU The Sooners won five of their first six but finished 8-5, ending the regular season with a stunning overtime loss to Oklahoma State and then losing 40-6 to Clemson in the Russell Athletic Bowl. The Sooners finished eighth in the Big 12 in passing offense with 2,543 yards and 17 touchdown passes. Inconsistent quarterback play and unreliable receivers were the main culprits (sounds familiar). Heupel also was the quarterbacks coach. Norvell was in charge of the receivers.

Great post Jrship. Thanks for taking the time. One of the biggest reasons unrated and 2 star players succeed in the NFL is due to weight training in college. There is some stat out there how top recruits like Clowney gained only minimal weight during their time in college, but a unranked NFL draft picks gains 40, 50...pounds. I've noticed how impressed you are with what is currently going on in that department. This provides me hope.
