SiriusXM radio college football schedule for those who like to listen to MAC games (or future Zips opponents) while doing other Saturday fall chores...or while your hopefully tailgaiting.

Kaminski joins the MAC. As a redshirt freshman at Michigan State last season, Kaminski averaged 4.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 12.2 minutes. The former top-100 national recruit was also suspended on two occasions for academic reasons. “Despite multiple opportunities, Kenny Kaminski could not live up to the obligations necessary to be a part of our program,” Izzo said. "Being a Spartan is a special opportunity, and at Michigan State we do everything we can to provide an amazing experience for our student-athletes. With that privilege also comes a responsibility to conduct oneself in a certain manner. After he repeatedly failed to meet the necessary obligations, it became apparent that it was time to dismiss Kenny from the program."

Right. That's what Twitter and Facebook are for. Remember when you were little and you used to play the game with your friends..."if you could have any superpower, what would it be?" Remember the numbskulls that used to say "I wish I could read minds?" Well, they got their wish...Twitter and Facebook. Now you could read everybody's worthless mind. Some power.

A lot of discussion has already transpired about this game. I thought we needed a dedicated topic due to early popularity. Seems like some nice tickets can be had for around twenty bucks on stubhub. I really wish they would announce the time of this game so I can make some official plans. I know I'm staying dahntahn that night. I wonder if the Zips were one of the three teams to call on Coles? Thin, or loaded backfield for armPitt?

Vegas usually doesn't offer FBS vs FCS lines, try Canada or offshore. Not a good game to bet on IMO.

Police believe he passed away from an undetermined medical issue. Bitsko's final, poignant tweet: Baby Elephant @isthatbitskoFollowThere are 86,400 seconds in a day. Make sure you use one of those to thank god for everything you have #stayfocused 1:55 PM - 14 Aug 2014

Union President asks James to step in “I have asked you numerous times to meet with me and our forensic accountant to discuss some of these issues. You have continually ignored my request, with a response that ‘we are close,’” Burden’s email to Tressel says. “I now ask you, close to what??? I stuck my neck out to endorse you as YSU President, but right now, I must say that I am feeling quite disappointed in what I see as a lack of effort to stand behind your faculty. If there was ever a time to step in and get faculty behind you, it is now. Please help me to help them.” Agreement reached

Tough start for Keith Wenning.

In...but weekday games will cut into our list. #CRAPtion

Impact Rookie in the Steel City? "Archer has had a big-plays of forty-plus yard receptions in each game this season. According to our notes, he's the only player in the pre-season with two plays of forty-yards or more, in 2014." I totally agree, but Shazier looked the part Saturday night. He doesn't seem like your typical Columbus State NFL'er to me...like Mike Adams . EDIT: Gilbert’s signing likely means Adams does not have a long-term future with the Steelers.

George Thomas of the Beacon Journal writes: (click on link for full article) Although coach Terry Bowden and his staff haven’t released their first depth chart of camp, the offensive front five look to have the explosiveness and strength to challenge any of their defensive counterparts. “We’re still mixing and matching and changing guys,” offensive line coach John Peterson said. “We’re going to need more than five guys for the season, so we’re trying to create depth. That’s probably the area we’re concentrating on the biggest is to get guys game ready.” The problem is they can’t mix and match enough, at least not right now. Injuries are taking their toll as the Zips prepare for the season. “We can’t hardly get things accomplished by having too many players that are going to play but they’re not practicing. That’s been a problem,” Bowden said. Bowden preferred not to discuss the injuries in detail. Zips fans are invited to the team’s intrasquad scrimmage beginning at 9:15 a.m. Saturday at InfoCision Stadium.

From DEJAN KOVACEVIC: "Paul Chryst advised me before Pitt camp to keep an eye on Todd Thomas, and the coach needn’t have bothered. No. 8 has been impossible to miss. The senior linebacker out of Beaver Falls, once among Tom Lemming’s No. 68 prospect in the nation, has stepped up more than anyone on the South Side these past two weeks. And he’s done it with a snarl, too: On one 11-on-11 drill Thursday, he leveled — and I mean leveled — two blockers. And as those blockers were reeling on the ground, he let out a loud, primal scream. Good for Thomas, because the Panthers will need him to be a lot better than their fourth-leading tackler, as he was a year ago."

I'm assuming CK meant the "berth" to the Championship game. Seems like a fun goal this year. Mid-American Conference Championships 2014 Schedule Friday December 5th Ford Field

Nov 4th against BG, per the color of the ticket. I can't wait to see the solution to the obvious question.

Thank goodness I was at that game, and didn't have to listen to that! I really hope Reghi gets promoted to another market this year. He is really good.

Thread on Dri has been started here. Plenty of opinion posted. Always fun to look back. The video highlight is a good indication of the potential I observed when he played the Zips.

Spring, how about summer? Johnny Football bringing his talents to the Zip Strip? Watch out ladies.
