exactly...any person who watched last night's game so plenty more awful calls by the officials. The MAC refs may truly be the worst group of officials in the country.

Why do buffalo fans always mention their depth? They have about as much depth as the kiddie pool. Honestly they are a team that relies on 5 or 6 main guys and that's all.If we dont win this game it will be an upset no doubt.

did you watch the same Akron/BGSU game i did?There were plenty of questionable calls again to go along with plenty of phantom fouls. Ya know the ones where no one touches the guy with the ball and all three refs blow their whistles?I will not give up complaining or booing these refs until they start getting things right more than they get them wrong. This is DIVISION 1 college basketball and 3 outta 5 of these guys would be too inept to officiate CYA 6th grade girls basketball.

Day Two

Day one

Me, some Rowdies, and others will be under the LeBron billboard tailgating in the Tower City Parking lot. If you want to park by us and join us feel free. I'll be saving as many parking spaces as i can around that area. We will be there from 6pm or so until 8:30-9pm (depending on how far behind the games are and it looks like they are going to be very behind considering the first game is still not over)So come join us

Just letting everyone know: The Cadillac ranch doesn't have many good deals for us fans BUT if you go to Cleats down by the Q (other side of the block from Hairy Buffalo) you can get 12 wings (the best wings in NE Ohio) and a order of fries (they are huge) for 7 bucks. Also 2 dollar 24 ounce beers all if you wearing Zips gear. I go there ALOT and the owner said he would set up some deals for Zips fans. So mention that when you go in and ask him if there are any others and enjoy!Also the bartender said she was going to wear a bikini top for today but we will see if that truly happens!Oh yeah it's 1.75 well drinks before 7pm every weeknight anyways along with some other deals.

I can never bet against Tillman. He could just take over.

32 points tonight and a loss...it's too bad but damn if you have that kind of talent on your team anything can happen. Let's hope they get a few more people around her.

i'm bias, but French is just fantastic. He truly is an awesome announcer, on par with the likes of Tom Hamilton and Joe Tait

i'm not going to stop complaining. I'm going to be yelling for all 40 minutes of each game until it gets better. The officiating in the Eastern/Central game was awful as well. It's just a joke how bad they are.

Miami (OH) / Northwestern game moved, open spot in Northwestern's schedule

I will be there like always all day and with the ultimate Zips tailgate group. (Yes we are the best, sorry to anyone who thinks otherwise)I'll be under LeBron in the tower city parking lot in that open area if anyone should feel the want to come down and join us. It should be a party.

Can't must have that special "something" ... that special character/team make-up ... that makes them "appealing" to the bookies/odds makers in Vegas! Easy to do business with maybe? I thought that was Toledo.no it's about 75% of MAC refs

I have not missed an opening round game since before i could legally drive even if the Zips werent playing. I made a fake doctors note to go to these games. I'm leaving in 2 minutes so for anyone who wants to tailgate today, i have a small group under the LBJ billboard in the Tower City parking lot. This is the 10th stupid thing the MAC has done this week however.

he wont live it down with me....it's more than a punch to linhart. He is a scumbag thug and until he is in away from the general population and in jail i will not give it up.

it didn't have to be a hard punch. Nate was running in and already moving fast so as long as chris's punch was sturdy he wouldn't have to thow it with great force to inflict a lot of damage.I have to admit that the punch is deceptive. At first I thought it didn't look that bad. It's only when you look at the final view from the corner in slo-mo, and step through it a few times by freezing and restarting, that you begin to appreciate all the fine details.Part of the deception is that Singletary is moving along with Linhart at the same speed. Stepping through frame by frame you will see that as Singletary winds up and balls his fist, he abruptly plants his right foot and his body comes to a halt while Linhart is still flying forward at full speed. Singletary then leverages his now stationary 220 pounds behind his right arm as he chops his fist directly into Linhart's lower ribcage at exactly a 180-degree angle to Linhart's full momentum. It was not a wild swing typical of brawls, but a surgical gutting that would not come natural to the average college basketball player. It would take some practice to get it just right for maximum impact with minimal chance of getting caught. I wonder how many MAC players bear the bruises inflicted by Singletary as he fine-tuned this sucker punch that Can't and the MAC call an "isolated" incident because this is apparently the only one caught on video.The video doesn't lie. Watch it carefully. Watch it often. Step frame through it. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my analysis.i've watched it enough to know that tomorrow i will be tailgating under lebron (the giant billboard) at 10am, once 2pm hits i will be in the Q and the entire time i will be in Singletary's ear. I hope he sits behind the bench so he's even closer to me because i want him to hear every word.

It is now officially a Zips basketball season as the "crap down their leg" reference has appeared! Can it appear again?If people could distance themselves from the Singletary cheap shot for a second...we blew that game. K.e.n.t. kicked our asses in the paint. K.e.n.t. hit the big shots. K.e.n.t. had guys step up when they needed to.The Zips choked the game away with a terrible final 5 minutes. Again.Chris McKnight - 1 point? Where was Linhart in the 2nd half? Brett McKnight - 6 shots? Steve Nees? To quote John Wooden - "Activity doesn't necessarily mean achievement" - Get a purpose to all that crazy dribbling!Why did we redshirt "poise" in 2008-9? We needed it.What we need is a coach that understands how to win games in the final minutes. It seems that KD just doesnt see that running a slow developing play when up by 5 points with a few minutes left doesnt seal the win unless you not only take time off the clock but also score a freaking point! My god, just pound it inside to the big men and force one up and draw the foul. Stop settling for late in the shot clock bad shots.

I hope you mean a one game suspension in addition to the ejection, because the game yesterday still counts as a game played. Doesn't matter if you get ejected in the 1st minute or the 39th minute, he needs to sit one full game.I don't know...I'd like to see him suspended one game but I think I would like it even more if Can't stepped in and resolved the issue on their own (as they should). Emotions are running high in games like this, but that is no excuse for a classless play and player. He doesn't belong on any team if he's gonna take away from the game as he both has and continues to do.Can't State never does anything that would come off as doing "the right thing". They feed off immorality over there for God's sake.

so is this something that still might happen?

oh we'll see him again in the tournament...aka tuesday at 2pm. Any Akron fan that can be there better be there, this guy needs to hear it loud and never hear the end of it.

SICKENING.He will never live this down.

i am still steaming from this. I will be at that game at 2pm tuesday and i will be in Singletary's ear the ENTIRE game. I have already taken off work to ensure that Singletary does not get a free pass on this. If he is the thug he seems to be i guarantee you will see him on ESPN coming into the stands after me. They will have to remove me from the game before i shut up.

No game suspension because is was not a fighting foul. According to the talking heads on tv.can a suspension not be handed down by the MAC for how bad it was?
