I hope he's really hurt then. Find it a bit morally wrong if we're going to be lying about a player being hurt. If that is common, its news to me. If it's widely accepted, then loosen the rules.

Fun game for sure. Quentin Hines' long TD run and Avis Commack's pick 6 were two awesome plays. Hoping I can make at least one of Tenn or MSU.

Yeah I was paying attention since Boals dragged the game on. Didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary to me.

Good thing Juwan Howard isn't in the arena.

My god Boals is annoying. Fouling down 17 and calling timeouts down 14 with just over a minute left.

Dawson is such a great all around compliment to this team. He does everything.

Best half of the year.

Ali is a next level talent. Hope he can shake it off.

Freeman is really improving his passing in the post.

Hell of a start!

NIce start so far..

Are you or is anyone else eyeing up a road trip for any OOC game?

As am I. Indeed it isn't our job, but what exactly are we complaining about here? What specifically do you think could improve and what is the end goal with this improved marketing? I suspect the best way to get to the end goal is simply winning, something we've never really done in a meaningful way for revenue sports outside of soccer, and I'd guess the soccer program has a respectable attendance compared to the rest of the country. If having a successful marketing campaign was a substantial part of putting asses in seats in college sports and realistically doable, I'd suspect there would be a much bigger emphasis on it across college sports as it would make universities a lot of money.

This forum will talk about marketing, new arenas, and the zips logo until the end of time, but its all just complaints without any real solutions IMO. How do you finance the new arena? How do you make football games a "community event"? How do you improve "marketing"? I just care about winning in athletics and I care about running a fiscally sound university that provides a quality education and isn't an embarrassment. If we're doing that, its hard not to believe some of this stuff will solve itself. I attended a board meeting for an org this morning, and educational institution in fact. The CEO was stressing they need to shrink and stabilize before they can grow. We've done that university wide the past year or so. Looking forward to better days.

I remember when we were told not be salty about Dambrot taking our players because they were "just guys". Mike Hughes had a very solid career at Duquesne as did TDM (he won 6th man of the year in the A10) and is obviously doing well at FGCU.

Where do you think Te'Sean Smoot falls within the names you mentioned? I know the previous staff was recruiting him and believe he ended up with Rich Rod at Jacksonville State. Also had a number of G5 offers as well.

When has the MAC ever beaten "anyone" in OOC? Unless you want to count the occasional P5 win over a middling/low tier program. There has been no increase in games. Only differences I can find is that is appears we play two more conference games and two less OOC games comparing this season to the 15-16 and 16-17 seasons.

Top teams used to get a bye until the MAC semi finals, now they don't, so that is one more game that's played (though it obviously hasn't happened yet this season). Fact of the matter is Toledo and OU are having pretty darn good years. Maybe the MAC, at least the contenders, aren't as "down" as some think.

Albeit against inferior opponents, that's two games in a row where we've looked our part. Refreshing. Big one Friday....make me a believer Zips!

Off game for the 4th best 3 pt % shooter in the MAC. Thankfully he's bringing it in other areas. On a serious note, Mike Dawson is 4-7 from three and is contributing in other areas like usual. We don't need Trimble!

OK Clarke!

Dawson is making the most out of getting extended minutes.

We gonna defend the paint or what?

Outside of a couple air-balls to start, nice first half by our most talented player.

I liked Mike Wynn before it was cool 😎
