We just need to hire a coach who is interested in building a team here. Heck one who actually shows up for work is nice. Not just get a paycheck until something better comes along. Building a program, not padding a resume. Maybe we're there. I'm not expecting miracles. Winning record in the MAC and be competitive against one or power conference foes. See also football.

"DoOrDoNot" Nothing like using a movie quote for motivation for players born 16 years after the movie came out. "Who's Yoda?"

With any change of regime you have players who were the faves by the old (losing) staff, and athletes can jump ship almost at will. It’s worse than free agency with some of these kids.

I should be excited about this, I guess….

Sorry guys, been away from the forum for awhile, not because I wanted to be. the good news: Chris Bassett had another quality start for the Blue Jays last night going 6.2 innings giving up 5 hits and 1 run against the Mariners. He had 4 K’s against 4 walks. When he’s on he’s 12-0 with 6+ IP, a Jays record. the bad news: His alma mater is in the middle of another build (hard to call it a rebuild). the good news: We have a team, the kids are trying, and it’s a great excuse to get outside on campus in the spring.

Just curious. “Set up to fail”? He was an experienced college coach (not at this level) 40-8 at John Carroll, including a 12-2 9-0 season in D3. Sure the talent levels and size are way different, the X’s and O’s don’t change much. You make strategies to take advantages of their weaknesses while understanding your own. unless you don’t know how to.

Time out with 42 seconds left? I hope they eat crap in the next round.

Sad end to a handful of careers.

I see a potential linebacker there…

Ali ends his career with whatever that was…

No we haven’t given up.

Came out slow and sloppy

Aaaaaaaand Freeman is in foul trouble.

If bricks brought us points…

We ran into a shooting machine on a hot streak. If it doesn’t turn around soon…

Their one remaining Betamax tape cartridge finally snapped and nobody knows where to get a new one.

They’re probably waiting on us to quit changing our identity every six months.

I was just excited to be back on campus and watching Toledo fans act like dumbasses. It’s been too long (for me).

…and there went the lead.

We caught the double header vs. Toledo today. Unfortunately they lost both to the Rockets. The Rockets won 2-1 in the opener and 6-3 in the second game. The second game was marred by Rockets fans and latet the Rockets themselves laughing and yelling at Zips fans. The Zips play must have struck a nerve 😀. Stay classless. The games were close and the Zips were competitive. After the rough start to the new program, I’ll take that. Our players and coaches handled themselves like pros.

I caught the game against the Citadel today. They were very much in the game until a fair ball that went in foul territory got tangled up with a chair. The umpire ruled it an error and sent the base runners home. that seemed to take all of the wind out of the Zips sails. The Citadel scored 10 more runs to win 13-2. Next up, a Wednesday inter against Cincinnati Bearcats, then a three day weekend against Dukie. Friday the MAC season starts at home with 3 against the Rockets.
