Agreed that the coaching has not been as good in football as in basketball, but Glen Mason, Pees, Martin and Hazell were pretty solid in their time there. On the topic of their coaching hires, here's hoping Mr. Pinky outlasts every coach in PCCC history!

As much as it pains me to say it, Laing Kennedy made some pretty good coaching hires in his time at PCCC.

Good points. I do, however, think that Marshall is by far better than any other team we've seen at the JAR this year. I think they'd be in the top half of the MAC.

I told you NW, I'm everywhere...

I heard that the Notre Dame College coach is interviewing for the position.

Yep, Toledo thumped the Detroit Mercy team that was competitive at the JAR by a whopping 44 points!

The Herd lost by 1 in overtime at previously 8-1 Toledo Saturday night and beat 3-5 Morehead State by 12 tonight (Monday). Just the name Morehead State takes me back to the OVC. I'm thinking the Zips will have their hands full with Marshall.

Wow, so Dear Evan Hansen is coming to Playhouse Square! Go George!

When you get cut by a basketball team in the province of New Brunswick, it may be time to take your life in another direction.

That's when there's not poker. It seems the NCAA would be smarter than to throw it up against the NFL game of the week too. Yesterday would have been ideal with major college football on a break.

The Zips new athletics motto under the the zipsoutsider administration- "Aim Low." "Accept mediocrity" was already taken.

Let me say first that I am not a big soccer fan. Even from that perspective, the NCAA men's soccer final deserves better than ESPNU. Instead, on ESPN and ESPN2, we get something called "Bowl Mania" and a repeat of last night's boxing card. Awful. The men's lacrosse final gets more attention.

If he is 40% successful after 8 years, it will be time to do so.

I saw the picture of the people in the upper reserved and figured that was it. Did they not pull out the bleachers?

Could anybody explain why one might need chairs or blanket for the watch party at the JAR, per the email?

Do they have a really good assistant they could send us?

Going to all those bowl games in a financial drain on the fans Captain!

Well then, I get to throw out Silich's first season which was one of his only two sub- .500 seasons in 14 seasons. That's two sub-.500 seasons in 14 years as opposed to 5 out of 7 for Bowden. I can appreciate that you think Bowden should not have been canned, I just don't think Solich is a good comparison or analogy.

You had me thinking right up to that line. There' no comparison between Terry Bowden's 35-52 record at UA to Solich's 105-75 record at OU. We could only wish Bowden was "Our version of Frank Solich." He'd still be here and we'd think we had Paul Brown.

As critical as I have been of the Bowden administration, I do have to concede they've left the program in a better condition than they found it.

I heard they're bringing in 4 guys. Other than Arth, I have no idea who they are.

Zips are averaging 9.9 per game while the Herd averages 9.9. Wow, what a coincidence. My math skills are poor, but I'd put the under/over around 20!

Always appreciate your insight on here captain, but might there be some utility to the players fearing their coach a little or respecting him as opposed to liking him?

Mike Hughes led Duquesne in the win with 20 points. Tavian Dunn-Martin played 14 minutes and failed to score.

The final straw for me was late in the BG game when BG scored with about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter to go up two scores and the Zips kicking team trotted out to the wrong side of the field for the kickoff. A small thing, sure, but damn, that was a sad commentary on the team and coaching. I agree that Kato going down hurt. That being said, anyone can hand the ball off and the Zips averaged 2.9 yards per carry. Even without your starting QB, you shouldn't get beaten by a 2 win team at home on senior day. With him, you shouldn't get clobbered by .500 MAC teams at home, squeak by a 1 win team or......aaaaaah hell. I'll stop before a real rant gets rolling.
