Especially when one of the starters is in the transfer portal and we're not sure another is even allowed on campus yet!

The Zips are one third of one of the 10 worst teams. I saw another that ranked them as 122.

So you are anticipating an Auburn turnover deep in their own territory? From what I have read, this looks to be a down year for Auburn. Even a down year will result in a win against our Zips, but let's hope the Zips aren't embarrassed and come out of the game healthy with some positive experience under their belts.

Agreed that it is a minor offense, but damn, it's a pretty stupid and obvious violation.

Given the lack of success, I'd have to say the Zips did not get their money's worth. They should publish the name of any person in the system that is that freaking dumb.

He forgot to ask us to respect his decision.

I wish Kato the best and he's certainly earned the right to lead the team, but if he was a P5 talent he'd be a P5 player.

Nice ABJ article on Bassitt- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/2021/08/13/university-of-akron-product-chris-bassitt-is-the-oakland-athletics-ace/8106358002/

I am often critical of GT, but that's a good article. Looks like Kato really benefited from a year of watching and participating on ways other than being on the field. He appears to have really matured and this team could obviously use the mature presence given their youth.

Well aware. It looked like Evan might stick at PCCC at one point. Ashland will be a good spot for him. Solid family.

We can only hope he's not a Van Trease or a Crum.

Unfortunately, 4 teams ahead of them are high school teams.

Since we haven't been over this before I'll cut to the chase- the administration just hated Bowden's haircut.

Rough final for Clayton, but congrats to the way he has represented the Zips- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/2021/08/04/clayton-murphy-finishes-last-2021-tokyo-olympic-games-800-meter-final-university-of-akron-zips-track/5466331001/

I think the primary culprit is sh***ty football.

This may be the least excited I have ever seen a Zips' fan base about an upcoming season.

CLayton has made it to the 800 finals with a 1st in the first race and 2nd in his semi, both with strong finishes.

Clayton and Ludwig shown on the NBC Olympics broadcast in consecutive clips just now.

I'm more concerned about the fire coming out of that microphone.

Looks like they've picked up where they left off (with a quarterback running for his life).

3. Who counts down to a colonoscopy or root canal?

I was just happy he didn't call him Gavin, spell his last name without an "e" or call him a shooting guard.

Even our assigned Zips beat reporter doesn't know the difference between Bryan Trimble our starting shooting guard and Greg Tribble our backup point guard who is competing to take over for LCJ. Sigh...

I found the following par of the article a little odd- As for replacing Jackson, it comes down to Garvin Clarke, Bryan Tribble and freshman Nate Johnson. “Those three, plus Xavier Castaneda,” Groce said, “so we’re still a work in progress.” Strange that GT wouldn't just write all 4 of them into the sentence. I am 100% excited about the Zips upcoming seasons in football and basketball. 90% excited about hoops and 10% about football.

He's a fine player and he'll get drafted. I just don't see him as much of an NBA player. I hope I am wrong.
