I get it, but I am: 1) a grumpy old man; and 2) frugal (Cheap).

It's great to for have the opportunity to purchase a $100 sweatshirt.

From a purely selfish perspective, I'd like to attend away games at CSU or YSU. I'm not going to to Wright State or Marshall for a game. That being said, I trust the staff to figure out what is best for the program. They know a hell of an lot more than us when it comes to scheduling and the impact it can have on the program. As such, I have to assume there are valid reasons certain teams are not on the regular season schedule.

I'd gladly give up Penn State- Shenago, Concord, Heidelberg, etc.... for CSU or YSU.

The woman announcing the selections called them the Racers.

Congratulations to the Zips. Nice contingent of fans at Firestone Stadium on a beautiful afternoon.

JaKarr Sampson.

To find a viable Macedonian backup big.

The basketball staff was at the women's softball game today. Nice to see them do something like that.

Dustin was responsible for scheduling under JG. I wonder who will take this on under Dustin.

I suspect the brakes on anything happening with Bowen will be on until the NCAA grants him another year of eligibility.

I think we also need to equally keep in mind that some of the other MAC programs are catching up. Even without a decline in the Zips program, the competition is getting closer as they learn and adapt to the NIL era, an area where UA was in the forefront and got a head start on the rest of the MAC.

Oh my, photos of the scrimmage for opponents to scour for intel!

Right now, I've seen two of the current Zips who combined played 20 minutes a game last year. I've never seen Dustin Ford be a head coach. There are still roster spots to be filled. As such, I'm not quite ready to make predictions.

Investment or charity, I am much more likely to invest in a program where I see positive results.

I suspect Ford will follow Groce's lead and bring in the most talented kids (with character) he can find and adapt the system to his talent.

Heisman really got the donors out for the Day of Giving in 1894. Oddly, I haven't received an email, text or call about this year's Day of Giving.

Just the name makes me cringe. The end of his time with the Zips was not great.

Here's hoping the kid can stay healthy. It's never good when your college highlights video is under 2 minutes.

We get to keep Dustin's kid as a manager for free! He played almost as many minutes as Connor.

I'd heard about the Fulford thing a couple of weeks ago. I'm a little surprised as Marshall seemed to be a homecoming for him.

WKU must have some serious NIL money. Tops? LOL.

Sharron to Western Kentucky. They must have some serious NIL money because that's not an improvement in program.

Some info on Exavier Wilson- K-State’s lone domestic prep signee in the 2025 class, Wilson redshirted his first season with the Wildcats. A consensus three-star prospect, Wilson was ranked as the No. 10 overall player in Missouri by 247Sports. https://www.kstatesports.com/news/2025/9/24/mens-basketball-five-things-to-know-exavier-wilson
