I'm interested in watching the replay of the game on Wednesday night. NFL Replay is probably one of the greatest things on tv for fans of the NFL.Listening to NFL Sirius Radio, Pat Kerwin is saying that James might have got hit in the crotch to create the reaction that he had. Pat was on the forty yard line at the time.Here is the punch to the back of his shoulder pad, looks like the flags actually come in from the big push to the chest after the punch.

Since sportswriters decide who goes in or not and not ZipsNation posters (which I think is bull). Here is one:Two Time Champion Clutch Enough For Canton?So we leave Super Bowl XLIII just as we entered it -- talking about a Hall of Fame quarterback waiting to happen.Only it's not Kurt Warner. It's Ben Roethlisberger.With Pittsburgh's 27-23 last-minute defeat of never-say-die Arizona on Sunday, Roethlisberger enters a conversation once considered unimaginable. Yep, I'm talking about Canton, and here's why: In just five years he has been to four playoffs, three conference championship games and two Super Bowls.And that's what I love about this guy. He doesn't produce fantasy-football numbers; he just wins, as in 73 percent of his games and eight of 10 playoff appearances. Plus, there is this: He's at his best when his best is needed most.

What is your point, he committed a penalty and got penalized? Cheated? Cheating is when coaches are stealing signs from the other team, not when somebody "punches" someone. If he did get a fine and suspension how does that change anything?

That's a hard question being that these guys are the ones voting.Isn't it odd that one of his first "magical" moments comes against our Zips?!?

In an attempt to make this a Zips related thread. I think it was the 2000 game at Ken+. One of the coldest games I have ever attended. The game the Dwight Smith was amazing.I happened to be walking into the stadium as Ken+ was coming out of the locker room.Every Ken+ player looked like they didn't want to be there, walking like zombies on to the field.Except for one guy, he was shot out of a cannon, jumping up and down, yelling and whooping it up.Pure energy. I looked at my friend and said I don't know who that Harrison guy is but I think I wouldput a few blockers on him until he tires out.He'll go down in the history of the Super Bowl as making one of the greatest plays, and then ruining his chance as a SB MVP by getting caught punching an opposing player. I wish the Zips had three of him on our defense.

Once a Beacon Journal writer, always a Beacon Journal writer. Game begins @ noon, TP.He lists Zeke at 6'11" too. I think we should list Zeke at 6'6" in the media guide to fool other teams.

Yes, Torrence. I was just answering the request of; "offered by OSU and enrolled at Akron"

Here are two more for you:Bain was a US Army All-American in 2004 and was offered a scholarship by Ohio StAndrew Johnson was offered and hotly pursued by many big-name schools in the country, including Ohio StMy unofficial list is at three without really trying.Wasn't there something about Da'Von Moore being offered a scholarship by OSU and then pulled?

I'm not interested in making a list for you, but I'll start it with this one

I know a few posters expressed their concern about KD's decision.Not to persuade your vote, but here is a quote from KD:"I've been telling you all along that McClanahan is a weapon for us, I'm just glad we de-redshirted him."Feel free to explain your vote. Here are his stats if you need help. He is averaging 11.6 mins, 3.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 5 games thus far.Career high 9 points last night

NCAAs or bust. I have no interest in anything else. It's called the Big dance for a reason.All you have to do is win the MAC tourney. How hard is that?

The Big 33 Classic has had at least one of its former players in every Super Bowl, and the Pennsylvania-based all-star game is well represented in the NFL's crowning event this year as well. Here is a look at the players, coaches and front-office personnel on the Steelers and Cardinals who played in the Big 33.SteelersQB, Ben Roethlisberger, Ohio, 2000TE/FB, Sean McHugh, Ohio, 2000DT, Scott Paxson, Pennsylvania, 2001S, *Ryan Mundy, Pennsylvania, 2003Pro scouting coordinator, Doug Whaley, Pennsylvania, 1990*-Member of Steelers practice squadCardinalsLB, Victor Hobson, Pennsylvania, 1998WR, Steve Breaston, Pennsylvania, 2002Assistant head coach/offensive line, Russ Grimm, Pennsylvania, 1977Defensive backs coach, Teryl Austin, Pennsylvania, 1983Director of player personnel, Steve Keim, Pennsylvania, 1991Source and the rest of the story

I think the guy that recorded that video has been in the Sun since 1987!?!

There is a multi page thread about it, join in

KD , can you tell us what you know about what the future of JAR is as it pertains to the basketball team?

4 minute video. Seems to be a good runner. Holds the ball high.Nicely makes his choice, againESPN grading system gives him a 71Was Columbus State looking for an Ohio guy to back up their Pittsburgh QB?

I'll leave that up to my attorney."As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit. You won't need much, just a tiny taste."

Why do you say that? Do explain! Maybe this: Jan 15th : Jan 19th ? Just a guess.

Almost rivals the "name dropping" posts. I do know a guy that has a lot of experience coaching basketball and he thought it was a good idea to burn the red shirt. I'll go with what he says, but only because he has more experience coaching MAC basketball than me.After I see the kid play a few games I'll have an opinion on if he is making a difference or not.I guess if you think we have no chance to win "A MAC Tourney championship THIS YEAR" you don't like wasting the rs, but I agree with Z-Pouch, we have a chance, and like CK says, go for it! I would guess that's what KD thinks too.

I thought about the Shanahan / JD connection the other way.Shanahan comes back to the NFL next year, most of his ex staff will be hired somewhere else.Will he give JD an interview for OC or WR coach? Is JD happy in college? Just a thought.

What team will improve our chances to win the MAC tournament? That's the team I want.

I will be interested in watching the Huskies next season for that very reason.

Good luck to him. Super nice guy.

Cventinovic is too talented not to see the floor. It's hard to bench production.Nik is an intelligent kid, and to me, it shows when he touches the ball. I hope I'm not jinxing the kid by typing all of this praise from a handful of hours that I've seen him play.I'm still waiting for Conyers to impress me. I can only judge by what I see at the games live.He always seems like he is out there thinking. Like he doesn't know what to do. Maybe it willclick for him soon (we all hope).

I wonder if Jose or the coaches ever contemplated a switch to defense when it was realized he was unhappy?Good luck to you Jose.I'm sure your stats from Hofstra will be posted here, so you better come through with that prediction.
