This means our QB might actually have someone to throw to this coming season.Other than Harvey, can anybody recall a WR that come in as a freshman and made an impact?

"I am officially committed to the Akron Zips," Fleming, who is the No. 44 player in Ohio, said. "I committed today. My dad was really excited about the news."Click here for source

Commiting TWENTY THREE turn overs and crying about the refs?I agree with you, you sound like a cry baby.Kiel, nice graphic

Wow! 4 star WR. Looks like a gym rat too.

I have never tried this before, but since I'm out of town, this might be my only option.Click on "WATCH"PS If anybody reads this that can do anything about it, can we get some MAC games on Sirius?It can't be hard, every other conference does it. :rolleyes:PSS Needle "works" for free, he doesn't get paid to announce....right?

What part of bad MAC officiating surprised you? The officials in the MAC have been awful ever since I watched my first game at the JAR.I have grown to expect bad officiating in the MAC, if there is a game that is officiated good, that surprises me.

Tim O’Shea quote“If you’re a fan of MAC basketball, you felt you saw a quality game. Both teams played hard on the defensive end of the floor. Too bad we couldn’t get the rebound at the end of the game. I wish we would have gotten a better look.”Translation: "F Bubba"

Were the coaches scaring Bubba by yelling at him when he went up for a shot and missed NINE times????

I would be surprised if his "goal" is to play CFL. I have never spoke to him directly on the issue.I think one of the biggest positives he has coming into the draft will be his combine.I have to think he will open some eyes at the combine. If you have ever stood next to him, he "looks"like an nfl player (big and cut). I also like his attitude and I think he is a team player. As far as dropping a few passes, I don't see that being an issue with him. I would guess his move fromQB to WR was a business move to improve his chances in the NFL. If he does wind up in the CFL, I'm sure you will be pleased if he is on your team Trojan.PS If you are a scout and sign him because of good things you read about him here, you owe us a keg of Labatt for our first home tailgate.

They do. I was at one.

He didn't mention it because the Big ten schedule ended on Nov 17th.

Taking 'The' as a spoil of victoryBy Clay TravisLet's be honest, the SEC owns The Ohio State University. The ownership is so clear I'm officially awarding the pretentious 'The' that Ohio State likes to place in front of their school to the SEC. From now on it's The SEC. I'd encourage everyone to join me in this. And if you ever see anyone referring to Ohio State as The Ohio State University, please be so kind as to point out that The SEC owns them.In the wake of the second annual Ohio State beat down, several of you have already written to me suggesting that Ohio State is the Buffalo Bills of college football. That's far too generous to Ohio State. The Bills had to win their way to the Super Bowl. Granted they lost once they got to the big game, but they beat several decent playoff teams to get there. All Ohio State had to do to make the BCS title game was have the good fortune to play a regular season in the Big Ten.This win brings into stark relief the reason the Big Ten doesn't favor a college football playoff. It's because they know their teams wouldn't be nearly as competitive if the games were played on the field instead of inside computer databases.Don't give me any more of the excrement-filled talk from Big Ten commissioner Jim Delaney about why a playoff doesn't make sense for college football. It makes perfect sense for college football, and anyone with a pulse knows it. What it doesn't make sense for is the Big Ten. Because their teams are always overrated and never justify the media-fellating they receive all season long.Nine consecutive losses to the SEC is way past a trend folks, it's a way of life. Basically Ohio State is the SEC's bitch, and there's nothing they can do about it.On to the BCS title shellacking and the things that most jumped out at me about the game.1. Florida coach Urban Meyer is a guest analyst. I'm sure he doesn't realize he's holding the microphone with his huge national championship ring. That's probably just a coincidence.2. I'm not going to lie, the most interesting over/under in the game tonight is number of "you can't see me" gestures we're going to get from LSU. I'm thinking the number has to be at least 10.3. My wife comes into the room, sees Ohio State take the field and says, "I hate Ohio State. Their fans are so smug and mean. They're like the Georgia of the SEC." (My wife also hates Georgia, an emotion we don't share since I like Georgia fans. In defense of Georgia, Ohio State would have lost a minimum of three games if they'd played eight in the SEC.)4. LSU's quarterbacks have been preparing for the game against Ohio State by playing video games. My favorite part of the entire article? "So when Flynn, LSU's fifth-year senior starter, sits down to play, he's got an extensive selection of plays from which to choose, compared with Perrilloux, the No. 2 quarterback whom Crowton usually limits to about 10 plays per game."5. Ten plays per game? Ryan Perriloux has been at LSU for three years now. He's a redshirt sophomore and he can't even play a video game with more than 10 plays? This means he's learned an average of two plays a semester. Seriously, two plays a semester. That's unbelievable. Especially when you consider that one of Perrilloux's 10 plays on the video game involves dodging federal investigators.6. Also, did UT's defensive staff recognize this limitation when Perrilloux started the SEC Championship Game? If so, this means they were effectively playing Tecmo Super Bowl only with 10 play options to defend instead of eight. And we still lost. Awesome.7. Slowhio scores the first 10 points of the game. I have to admit I was sort of rooting for Ohio State to go up 14-0 just to see how Les Miles reacted on the sideline. Source

Nice find, thanks. I know who I like in the big man matchup:

Your not looking for sympathy from a Zips fan are you?

Does "Zippy" know about ZipsNation.org?

So your going to take Akron in your bracket when we get a 15 seed against Pitt who gets a 2 seed?

There is a good batman utility belt joke in there somewhere. Loved watching him at Akron. Good luck to him.

So we have a chance to play an in state, top talent team at HOME and some of you would rather see a crappy team with a good band? Oh boy.I would love to see Cincy come here and play!Are you guys the same ones that didn't want Akron to play VT at the Rubber Bowl too?Future Schedule for reference

Nice notes GP1. Thanks.I caution making overall general opinions about the team based on seeing 1 game.I did the same with Can't State one year and I was dead wrong. Hopefully this is a team that learns from their mistakes and gets better as the year goes on.

AK-Oldies on one side of the hoop vs AK-Rowdies on the other side. A little friendly competition to spice things up. The competition would create the attendance.Maybe just try it one game early in the season.

"Did somebody mention Notre Dame? Come on already, give 'em a break"

Giving him a series or two in the second quarter might not be a bad idea, just to give him a few snaps to see what we have.Maybe in the fourth...since he studied under "captain comeback" I think I saw his jeep going down exchange st...

Coach Moorhead is very nice guy, but we need an offense that can run the ball.I don't see that happening in the offense that coach M is running.If you were JD, would you be looking for an offensive coordinator in the off season?If you are going to hire, whom would you interview? Remember the salary when making your suggestions.I'm pretty sure we won't get Norm Chow.PS This is not our only problem, just one of them.

"Where's coach Hip, let me at 'em!""I'll give 'em the piledriver...ooooo yeeeaahhh!"
