  1. It does look like they have updated their site to remove the video feed. There were originally two feeds for the games: one audio and one video. This is really disappointing.
  2. It looks like the games involving UTEP are streamed at this site, which has a $9.95 subscription fee. So it looks like no way to watch the UC Irvine game and a paid stream for the second game only if we play UTEP.
  3. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/preview?gameId=400915774 Really good game preview by ESPN. Mentions the Zips strengths, injury concerns, and even has a quote from coach. You can tell that the author put in the work for this article. We should play top 10 teams more often, this is the best coverage the Zips have received from anyone yet this year.
  4. I'm pretty sure that he has already hired an agent. I know an agent has been talking on Twitter as if he is representing Jerome. It seems that Mr. Lane has fully committed to this decision.
  5. It was a technical foul which gave Coppin State 1 free throw. Steve French commented that he thought it would be 2 shots. It is definitely worth it for only a potential of 1 point.
  6. Ok, lets use a more apt comparision. Tajae Sharpe was a receiver at UMASS last year that broke multiple school records. PFF gave him their 4th highest grade for a receiver. He went in the 5th round about thirty spots above Jatavis. He had a much more productive career and at 6'4" was certainly not undersized. He has gone on to be one of the Titans top targets in his rookie year. Again, I want Jerome to be drafted and be successful, I just think that people underestimate the challenge of being drafted to the NFL.
  7. I give him about a 30% chance. Jatavis had people talking all year about how he was a great talent from a small conference and that teams should take notice and he still went in the 5th. Nobody has talked about Jerome. Hopefully he can impress some people on pro day/ get an invite to a combine, but he has a lot of work in front of him.
  8. I doubt doubt that, but can next year's qb play really be worse than this years? Its not like he tore up defenses this year, I would fully expect him to have much better stats next year if he stuck around. Maybe he is worried about not having JoJo next season, letting defenses fully key on him yet again.
  9. Wow, I was not expecting this. He certainly has the talent, but I have heard no buzz about his draft prospects.
  10. That's scary. Its not like the people in front of him are top tier defenders. He must be atrocious to not be able to crack the lineup for that reason.
  11. This game is pathetic. Instead of working on improving our offense and strengthening the team to help in our game against a ranked team on Saturday, the Zips are just standing around and jacking up every shot that they can. No effort to run any semblance of a play, or get it into the post.
  12. Exactly. To create a legacy at a school like Akron, a player has to elevate the school to a national level while they are there. Think Hayward, Steph Curry, Adam Morrison, etc. In other words, when a player leads our team to a deep tourney run, then we can start wondering if future fans will care.
  13. Not that it makes it acceptable, but a little perspective. EMU plays FOUR NAIA teams this season. Not even division 3, four teams that are not in the NCAA. Our schedule could be a whole lot worse.
  14. I have only ever heard that Bowden called the plays that first year before giving it up in the second season. If that is true, it is very strange.
  15. One thing that is incredibly frustrating about this team is that, according to ESPN's app, Antino, Noah, Josh, Aaron, and Tavian all did not take a two-point shot all game. It was all threes. I understand what our team is, but that is a little ridiculous. That is half our team! Jimond is so important for this team to be able to create space and get all of these shooters open. I really hope that he gets to a point that he moves into the starting rotation.
  16. Will WMU most likely lose if they play a top team? Yes. Is it guaranteed? No. There is a reason that teams plays the game.
  17. I haven't been listening to the audio feed, but the Zips have hired a DJ specifically for this basketball season. I would imagine that is the music you are hearing.
  18. I really like these uniforms, especially the home version. The white with just blue trim looks really sharp. I also like the small Z on the waistband. It is a nice like call to it, while not being overbearing and making all the "traditionalists" angry. The seal on the shorts is a strange choice though.
  19. If anything, I feel like this proves that the coaches do not want Chapman to be a QB next season. Being pushed (and potentially beaten in the short term) by another competitor can only help Kato's future success, but hurts a player like Chapman with only one season left. To go to the recruiting discussion, my guess would be that nobody ever said he would be the backup and eventual starter. Our coaches probably stated that we have an established starter with one year left and when he leaves it will be an open competition. Of course, a young kid will try to turn that into a better situation for himself when discussing it with other people.
  20. The worst team in the MAC won't be 1-11 this year because we lost to the final two 1-win teams...
  21. I do not likeit at all, and this is not an excuse, but True Blue has been consistently trying to stir up trouble with all of the MACs student groups all season. Somebody just wanted some revenge is my guess.
  22. He was biased towards YSU because he is YSU's radio commentator. He was no where near as much of a homer as Steve French is for the Zips. The whole broadcast was well below the quality you normally get with ESPN. I did not like the lack of a color commentator and the halftime interview in which a rather large man was standing in front of, and blocking, the two people talking was laughable.
  23. He's on our roster. http://gozips.com/sports/fball/2016-17/bios/fitschen_jerry_p1k6
  24. I am quite concerned that Dambrot does not think highly enough of Utomi, Olojakpoke, or Eubanks to give them a single minute of playing time tonight. With Agba already transferred out of the program, that is starting to look like all misses for an entire year of recruiting. Especially when you see that both of the true freshmen got extended playing time.
  25. Peter Agba needs to be removed as well. Do we have an open scholarship this season? Did we give Agba's scholarship to one of our walk ons?
