No truer words have been typed here. :thumb:Is it nice to have a go to guy, sure. Do you absolutely need one, no.

That's dope yo.

Thanks ZFF, I'm sure the community will really rally with that major announcement and placement.Well, maybe Steve will mention it on his show on Monday. I would call in and say something about it, but then I would feel like I was doing somebody else's job.

For those of you that still purchase the BJ, did this appear in the paper, and what page?Tiny little announcement (kind of like a garage sale ad)

After seeing capmbell kick 40 yard FG into the wind in the state tourney at Cant State's Dix stadium...I think he has more then enough talent to kick at the D 1 level. he is also a pretty good punter too. Can he make extra points at the Rubber Bowl?

Sports Illustrated's Michael Silver, not a big Charlie fan !?!

The other two were previously posted in this section. One is a kicker and one is a QB.Click around the site or use the "search" button.

Missed opportunityYou might be better off trying national media.

Here is a link if anybody wants to check out the complete list

I mentioned this once before, with no response, but does anybody think there is the possibility of Carlton splitting time with Hakes this year within the game?

Maybe I'm a little behind on this. I don't get to the mall often.But this is for out of town people. There are 36 hats at Lids. Some nice ones too.Click here for link to 36 Zips hatsFor GP1. There are some hats here that are not Adidas. Even a Nike one for my buddy I would think this is the best thing you can do to generate some Zip buzz.I don't know how Akron gets so many hats, but I looked at a popular NHL team that only has 4 !

Cheer for the Mac? Hmmmm what have they done for me lately?

I used to think the same, I'm not sure anymore.

If they had a shirt like this, I would give them $7.99

Bow down before this Suckeye!!Go back to bucknuts where you belong.

Welcome. Looking forward to watching you play. Like CK said, good timing. Had to look up your user name.

Yeah, neither do we. That's why we are looking for answers.Find out those answers and get back to us. We really don't have to argue.

I actually liked his set up. Would be interesting to listen to if it were on local sports talk radio.That might actually get me to tune into an AM radio again. Last time I did that I listened to how Tim Couch was better than Kelly Holcomb, and Kelly Holcomb was better than Tim Couch for 6 months. I'm not putting any more effort into it. I stayed up to watch the Channel 5 11:30 show last night. I was tricked into thinking that KD was going to have a response to getting the NIT snub.His response was after not getting an NCAA bid. I was going to get over the last second Miami shot...I wasgoing to get over not getting an NCAA bid, but I might not get over the NIT snub. Still hurting.

Post back here if they answer, I can't bring myself to click on espn dot com today.

Plenty of media and coaches read this site. It will be seen by many here.

The NCAA announced a revamped selection process starting with the 2006 tournament. The main highlights are: * Teams are no longer required to have .500 or greater records to receive bids. This may have an effect on the last few teams invited. However, in 2006, all teams qualifying for the NIT had a record greater than .500. * All teams that won regular-season conference championships but failed to earn NCAA tournament bids are guaranteed places in the NIT. Thus, more teams from the low-major conferences may qualify. (Mid-major regular season conference champions have traditionally been invited.)In addition, the selection process has been made transparent. ESPN will no longer help select the teams. Instead, a committee of six former NCAA head coaches, C. M. Newton (Alabama), Dean Smith (North Carolina), Don DeVoe (Tennessee), Reggie Minton, John Powers and Carroll Williams, prepared a list of potential teams in advance. The seeding and balancing process is similar to that of the NCAA tournament, with the exception that higher seeded teams will always host games, unless extenuating circumstances occur. In the past, higher seeded mid-major teams would often be forced to travel to play less highly regarded major conference teams that would be likely to sell more tickets to the game [3].Furthermore, ESPN will continue to provide television coverage of the tournament. The NIT has a 10-year, $24.1 million contract with ESPN; this compares with the 11-year, $6.2 billion TV contract with CBS for the NCAA tournament.These changes are intended to encourage participation by good college teams that would rather stay home than play in the NIT – to make it the "Little Dance" instead of the "loser's tournament." NIT Committee Chairman C. M. Newton stated, "What we want to have is a true basketball event, a real tournament, one where there's no preconceived ideas of who gets to New York. We'd love to have great crowds, but this is not a financial consideration. We want good television coverage, but were not going to play this thing for television and move games around." [4]. Another positive consideration is that a #1-seeded team that goes to the semifinals will have three home games, which helps ticket sales.Beginning with the 2007 NIT tournament, the field for the NIT will be reduced to 32 schools from 40, the number chosen since 2002. The tournament will feature four eight-team regions.The new format — actually a return to the 32-team field used by the NIT from 1980-2001 — will eliminate the event's eight-game opening round, in which lower-seeded teams played for second-round berths against the eight highest seeds. The reduction will not affect the NIT's automatic bid to any regular-season conference champion that does not make the NCAA's field of 65. Seven teams earned an NIT bid that way in 2006.

Hey D, Did Andy tell you any of the questions on the test? Can you share?Good luck to him!

I think this is a big one. I don't think we went down low enough last Sunday.It seemed to be open all night long but the Zips did not seem to utilize this to the maximum.I hope KD noticed that in the tape. He seemed to have a very good game plan yesterday so I am optimistic that we will have another one today as well. The team seems to be playing at a high level at the right time. Hopefully the injuries will only motivate the rest of the team more.

I hope to see more than 70 Rowdies at the game tonight.

Please, please please bring your brooms. That will make for some good local paper photos !!!
