• Who will emerge as the Zips' first-unit tailback?
• Will quarterback Patrick Nicely finish spring practice at No. 1 on the depth chart?Nicely, the incumbent, had trouble adjusting to the new pro-style offense in 2010 and completed just 49.4 percent of his passes. Junior college transfer Clayton Moore, a former University of Mississippi recruit, is a player to watch the next three weeks.
• How easily will the Zips put the disastrous 2010 season behind them?
• What will new defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove do to improve that unit?
• Will the Zips be able to field a full, capable offensive line for scrimmages and the spring game?

I agree. It will be interesting to see where he transfers, that will speak volumes. I wish him luck and hope he had a good time at Akron. I thought there was a photo in the pd or bj of him riding around laughing on somebody's back after we won the mac championship. I can't find it though.
Thanks for the heads up. I will try to tune into the broadcast. I tried this once before and got zero information in the first 15 minutes, got frustrated with commercials and the yuk yuk, and turned it off. If anybody listens to this whole thing, and wants to hit the major points like zipboy did with Zips Live, that would be awesome.
Just curious if you know this to be a fact or just think it might be.
Good question. Someone should ask the AD. We knew the facts about the rubber bowl since it was investigated and public knowledge that it wasn't financially possible. Would be nice to know about the JAR.
Thanks for posting zipboy, I always appreciate you giving a run down of Zips Live.
I'm interested to see Deiji play. From his youtube video he looks like he starts shooting the ball really low.
I'd bet most people who call themselves college basketball fans can't keep their attention on one of these game for more than 10 minutes. They really don't like them and the network has to switch to games to try to keep fans watching. They are a waste of time.
I wonder what the advertising dollar is for today's games? What viewing share will today draw? Think dollars and you will realize why there is more, rather than less. How many networks are involved now? Who is sponsoring?
NCAA Tournament Ratings Increase 24%
Television ratings for the first full day of the men’s college basketball tournament were the highest in two decades as CBS Sports and Turner Sports combined to air all 16 games in their entirety for the first time.The National Collegiate Athletic Association games on the CBS Corp. (CBS) network and Time Warner Inc. (TWX)’s TBS, TNT and truTV networks were seen in an average of 5.7 percent of households in the top 56 U.S. television markets, CBS and Turner said in a news release. That’s 24 percent higher than last year’s 4.6 major-market rating for the first Thursday of the tournament and the highest since 1991
CBS and Turner agreed in April on a 14-year, $10.8 billion contract for broadcast, Internet and wireless rights on the tournament, which this year expanded to 68 teams from 65.
I'm wondering if Quincy can't fill this role eventually. I noticed in the mac tournament when we had a last play possession at the end of a game. Dambrot called a clear out and left Q dribble the clock out and drive. I thought that was pretty telling for KD to have a sophomore try that. I also think that he has nice anticipation on defense, he seems to fill the passing lanes. I see some steal breakaways in his future.
VCU, BYU, Kansas, SDSU, Richmond, Butler, FSU in that order, fill in the rest however, and put Columbus St at the end.
Good tournament so far BTW. I love being able to watch EVERY game.
