Just please don’t bring back the A with the kangaroo head…

It seems the M.O. is to change the logo every couple of years to sell a new round of merchandise. I hate to see what they try next.

You know. Oakland would be one hell of rivalry series. That's where Jordan Banfield jumped ship to be head coach, poaching several of our players with him. I see former Zip Brad Goulet leads the team with 57 hits and 5 homers. Brenton Phillips, Quinton Kujawa, and a couple other names sound veeeery familiar. Yeah that still stings.

It would be more interesting to play former rival YSU in baseball every year than going to Lipscomb (although it’s probably warmer and safer in Nashville in February). See 2 games Saturday, get a room at the casino, and be back on Sunday for a matinee game. They’re playing at a level I would like to see the Zips play in a couple years. Getting hammered by schools the size of Wayne College doesn’t do much but ruin confidence and whatever pride they had.

Why do I get the feeling they'll do the bulk of the construction during the football/soccer season?

I was hoping to catch game 1 Saturday and walk over to the Spring Game, but that's out. There's no telling which Zips team will show up anyway. And the Spring Game is a wash for me. Bad move...

ouch

Chris Bassitt got the season off to a rough start losing to the Giants giving up 5 runs on 8 hits in his first start with the Mets. He rebounded nicely with one ER (total) in the next two starts against the Diamondbacks and Nationals. He's now 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 20K's after his third straight 6 inning outing. His next start is scheduled for Tuesday in St. Louis which is scheduled to be on TBS. Then his NEXT start is slated to be on May Day, hosting the Phillies on ESPN. J.T. Brubaker was given the opening day start for the Pirates, his season also off to a rough start with a 0-2 record with a 7.30 ERA. He's been pitching to former Tribe backstop Roberto Perez. He should take the bump Sunday in Chicago, with the game possibly on TBS.

I download Zips uniforms and floor for NBA 2K games, and rename the players. It's NBA rules, but it's better than nothing. And you need a couple centers. Best we can do with Madden is use older Rams jerseys and rename the players. Some years when I'm ambitious I redo the player ratings. It's a gamer thing. I go back to pong on a portable black and white TV.

It's not the improvement we wanted to see at this point, but we've won as many MAC games this season thus far (8-12) as we did all last year (8-32).

Well crap...

Man I miss those games. I'd rename all the players to current Zips. They had NCAA basketball too. I aint gonna lie, I was a pretty good coach on those.

How is the bracket progressing?

Would that result in more games per season, or move say a half dozen matches to the April?

Me too. I was not brought up in a basketball family, or a UofA family. It wasn't until I was a non-traditional (in every sense) student that I became a fan. Growing up the only college sports I was exposed to was Cowlumbus Football.

I have to admit it’s growing on me.

Gonna be a long day at work tomorrow

crap

Hard to beat a blue blood (and their refs) in the tourney…

You have got to be kidding me.

That might backfire with these refs

Momentum is on our side

I type in gozips.com, www.gozips.com, gozips. Yes I can scroll up. The page loads fine on my iPad and iPhone. I can get past it on my PC by searching Zips and the sport. I haven't upgraded to Win11 yet.

That's the key IMO. It seems the guys who are here now really enjoy playing together, this should be just the first part of one hell of a run.
