Happy Birthday!

Good idea, you wouldn't want to hear what happen to the Cowboys recently anyway. Honestly, I was interested in how KD's mood was. He handled it better than you or I would have.

I've known other people that say the same thing. I don't understand it. My theory is, I don't watch any team more than the Zips, if I don't know when they are going to win or lose the majority of the time, then I am not a very smart sports fan. You don't even have to win the majority of the time when you are a 2.4:1 underdog and think they will win. I haven't watched one Wildcat game in my life, that's my issue. I like to know something about both teams.

Here is the best advice anyone will ever give you if you honestly believe that...bet the money line. No stock, will give you a better return in a few hours. If you just hope that, you probably should not.

I'm not advocating NBC Sports Talk, I'm just giving ZN an alternative that you may not know about. NBC SportsTalk airs weeknights at 6 p.m. EST and will focus on various topics throughout the week, with certain nights and times devoted to a single sport. NBC SportsTalk will take a look at the topics that are dominating the sports world and will enlist talent from all NBC Sports Group platforms. Thaler will be joined by commentators and reporters from NBC Sports. I watched it last night and enjoyed it, but it was only the second time I watched. 603 on Direct TV (I'm not even sure if Time Warner or Dish or other providers carry NBC Sports). Edit: Dish, FiOS, AT&T

Enjoyed the interviews with Blake and Deji yesterday. Worth checking out. Should only take 12 minutes of your time with a DVR. FF until you see either Blake or Deji. You can FF past Dunn repeating multiple times "we tape on Sunday at 3:30, so we don't know who or where we play in the NIT." KD expressed his desire to play at home and on Wednesday, obviously we got neither.

I considered the same, but I think the Wildcats may be more disappointed by not getting the NCAA bid. Emotions might be a "wash."

Geez, hope I didn't piss you off yesterday when I predicted the money line to be +200 earlier in this thread, that is equivalent to about 5.5, so I was pretty close. No money line yet, but it should be out this afternoon. Looks like it should be +240. I love winning anything over 200 on a underdog money line. Very tempting....

Those guys will be happy when they see the money line at +200 tomorrow, they should make a killing betting the Zips.

It's only cheating if you get caught, I appreciate the effort. I've seen nba players get away with this defensive move before.

Great photo.

Hot Seat Northwestern has never made the NCAA tournament. Northwestern basketball has been so historically bad that they have only appeared in the NIT tournament six times. After 12 seasons in Evanston Carmody has a record of 160-177 overall and an awful record of 58-126 in the Big Ten. PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY ZIPS !!!

Congrats! Now I know the Zips can win.

If Zeke likes (respects) Greene, than so do I. Good luck to him in the future. I'll always remember him as the nice Ken+ player that lost three times to us in one year.

Predict the score and why. Ohio is favored by one and a half.

OU favored by 1.5 points

As predicted, the tradition continues.

I don't like either of these games. I'm cashing in for this year on the Zips. If someone put a gun to my head, I would give up one and take the Zips.

Geez...leave some beer for us working stiffs.

Myth? Hell, it's a NEO tradition, the Browns have done it TWICE, 1994 AND 2002. They lost three times to the Steelers both years. The 2002 playoff game still ranks in my top five best games attended. I was there for that one, I'll be there for this one. Carry on the tradition Ken+!

I hear portage county people say "I'm going to The Walmart", that's what I think of when I hear people say "The Ohio State." Columbus, Portage County, same thing in my mind.

Missed it by 1, Akron is a 2 point favorite tonight. Money line is -130, over/under 138.5. I like Akron to win by 1, Tree last second put back off a missed shot.

Nice angle on the article. Interesting to see photography outside of the basketball court, good job Phil Masturzo.
