Narf!

Yeah, looking at other photos of Caldwell and Sergeant Zip's post.

I caught this guy on the playoff broadcast just before the bulk of the team ran out. Could this be the unpaid graduate assistant?

I see the sports information dept release says the Zips have the sixth rated class in the MAC and 98th nationally. That basically tells me it isn't great and it didn't suck. Oh well, that's how signing days go, especially for football. Check back in two years. Everybody gets better on signing day. ?

Not sure what would be of interest about his story at this point other than an example of all the rigmarole some kids go through to get into a school and get eligible these days. Doesn't sound like going to prep school helped much. Maybe I'm missing something. It will be a good story if he sticks around and contributes. His sister is doing a nice job for the women.

Not 1,964? ?

Concord plays a home game tonight at 7:30 and then the Zips tomorrow at 2? Nice scheduling by them. Not much interest on my part in watching this game anyway.

Has he been attending classes here during Fall semester gaining eligibility??

Just better prices for buying earlier, but the 4 fewer games is certainly something to consider.

2 days later and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the stat that Zips QBs were 4 for 27 for 33 yds. ?

However you feel about Dyer's story, apparently UA doesn't give a damn. 21,414 announced attendance tonight. Ridiculous. Did they buy ANOTHER 5,000 seats they couldn't give away?

When the team gets a penalty because the band is playing when the other team is running a play it is probably time to call it a season.

You're excused.

Good grief, ESPN+? Not even ESPN3? Oh well, maybe it's best that the game is seen by the smallest audience - including potential recruits.

We all know there is nothing new here, so why bring in Dyer to cherry pick another story to "expose."? Let Marla Ridenour or George Thomas write this story if they want. And is it really a front page Sunday story? I'm as critical as many about the new regime and some of the past decisions, but I prefer to hear it from people who are around the subject on a consistent basis.

Please stop shooting 3s X!

I just noticed that KD is bringing the Dukes to Akron again for a game against Radford on Dec 14. It was announced initially it was going to be at Firestone High School, but has been moved to Ellet. Duquesne's arena is still being renovated and they're playing games in a couple different Pittsburgh arenas, too. Maybe hooking up with Lebron's school again.

Zips women battled #24 Michigan, but lost 80-71. Zips lead by 3 after 3Q after trailing by 13 after 1Q, but Michigan took advantage of their strength and skill down low to pull away. Really entertaining game in front of a crowd of almost 1000. A lot more entertaining than that brickfest last night by the men.

This may be old news, but it certainly seems pertinent considering this horrible season and the title of this thread. When Arth was named coach I hoped/expected he would bring some D1 coaching experience in with him. He failed miserably on that note. I reviewed the coaching staff bios today and found of the top 11 coaches named (including Arth) there is only a combined total (unofficial) of 16 years experience at the D1 (not FCS) level. And at best only 2 or 3 even played at the FBS level. No wonder they are struggling. Where are the at least 3 or 4 veteran guys that should have been hired? The AD should have insisted on a staff with more experience. Arth may very well turn this thing around, but all we know now for sure is we have a bunch of coaches whose only real success was at the D3 level with most of it at John Carroll and the Zips are in line to have their first winless season since 1942. Ugh.

Sorry, I meant to open this in the basketball thread. How do I move it or can the site administrator do it?

The Zips women are hosting the Akron Classic this Friday and Saturday. On Friday Kent State plays #24 Michigan at 2 pm and the Zips play Purdue Ft. Wayne at 4:30. On Saturday the Zips play Michigan and Kent plays PFW. I've only seen the Zips women's games promoted on social media. C'mon marketing staff, you could be promoting a tripleheader on Friday!

Announced attendance is always about 10,000 more than are actually there. I think due to Coke or Pepsi buying them as part of their sponsorship. The sad thing is the university can't or doesn't find a way to give the tickets away so some will be used.
