Castaneda can do it but doesn't seem to want to take on the role.

12 points in 10 minutes. Yikes.

I think Buffalo is having trouble with the crowd noise.

Awful crowd. I go out of town and everything goes to $h!+.

I am still in the practice of referring to it as Ohio.com. I like that they combine with their "sister" papers to broaden coverage but there's no reason PCCC should get superior coverage to the Zips. Amazingly, cleveland.com now beats the Beacon and its site to many Akron local news stories. SMDH.

That has to be sarcasm, right? Sending a single reporter, one who doesn't travel to away games and doubles as a movie critic, is certainly not dedication. Ohio.com does actually have a nice game day story for PCCC but nothing for the Zips. The Beacon continues its decay with no print edition on Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve New Years Day.

Amen. Just think back to where we were a couple of months ago with respect to our expectations of who might follow Arth. Moorhead is far beyond any of our reasonable expectations. If you'd have told me then that a coach of Moorhead's stature was the next head coach at UA, I'd have told you that you were nuts and that there was no way UA would expend the money or that a coach of that quality would accept the amount UA would pay.

The biggest difference between those two teams was the line play.

I thought he still had a little forward momentum after initially being pushed back. Fun game in any event.

Volunteers got a little screwed by the refs in OT.

It is our good luck charm.

It should be an interesting battle down low with the two top rebounders in the MAC facing off (Freeman and Mballa). Ali is 17th in the MAC in scoring, 6th in 3 point FG percentage and 19th in assists per game. Freeman is 1st in rebounding, 18th in scoring, and 2nd in field goal percentage. Trimble is second in 3 pointers made per game but only 24th in 3 point percentage. Bandaogo is first in blocks per game.

I just go by the number on the schedule.

Miami put it on Canada today too.

The Zips host our friends from Canada on New Year's Day at 2 p.m. after a 17 day holiday and Covid hiatus. The Bulls lost tonight at Miami to fall to 6-5. Hopefully, the Zips will be at full strength and be able to quickly shake off the rust. The Zips replace EMU on the MAC schedule while the Bulls replace Northern Illinois on the Zips schedule. The Bulls were chosen as the top team in the MAC preseason poll. Senior forward Josh Mbala was named to the All-MAC preseason first team. Jeenathan (don't call me Jonathan) Williams leads Bulls scoring at 18.4 ppg. Mballa scores 14.1 ppg while pulling down 7.8 rpg. I will be out of town. If anyone would like two GA tickets shoot me a PM.

How 'bout them Zips?

I was referring to the hospitalizations Hilltopper. I too have seen many vaccinated folks come down with it.

They must have known I will be out of town. 😁

Ugh, and the beat goes on. ....and largely unvaccinated.

I can't imagine that our Zips beat reporter won't bring us up to date on this soon. 🙄

Which begs the question- what in the hell was he doing here in the first place?

No disrespect intended to the kid, but this situation is further indication that the prior staff was not recruiting FBS level talent.

Buffalo hasn't had a great OOC start, but they'll be at the top or very near it at the end of the season. I expect OU, Toledo, Akron and PCCC to press them. BG may sneak into the pack at some point but will fade as usual.

Good call. Also, with the transfer portal and the extra year of eligibility for many players created by the NCAA in response the Covid, HS players are getting pushed down in farther in the process as there's less and less roster room. In addition, teams on the level UA recruits often have to wait for the recruiting processes of the "better" programs to flush out as kids UA may be chasing are waiting to see what may open at a P5 of more prestigious G5 when offers are accepted or rejected by higher level recruits.

That's Mr. Jack Wagon to you Zipmeister!
