Great question. I think it would be a terrible career move for him. IF he can stay on staff at OSU for just a couple of more years, better opportunities will open up and his professional experience will be expanded beyond Owens and Tressel.

I'm absolutely scared $H!+less about TW making another coaching decision.

In no order: 1. Understands it isn't easy to win at Akron but believes it can be done 2. Offensive oriented utilizing the spread offense 3. Success at actually teaching players how to play football 4. Ability to recruit quality MAC players 5. Uses traditional defense

Best post in a long time. Interesting how some people want things to be one way, but they are in reality another.

I understand EXACTLY what you are saying and I agree. A few years ago, we didn't see enough from Paul to be certain, but that isn't the case now.

Here are some places away from campus for those people who might drive or those willing to take a cab on Saturday. Most are uptown. There aren’t too many good places to eat around campus. They are in no particular order. They used to have hyperlinks, but I don't have time to reconnect them. Google any of the places and you can get a better idea of what they offer. Big Daddy's: Burger place. The one in Dilworth will be closer to UNCC. Cantina 1511: Mexican. The one on East Blvd will be closer to UNCC. Paco's: Southwest. Close to a mall if there are guys who have to take their wives shopping. High end part of town. The mall is great. Stike City: Uptown at the Epicenter, which is an entertainment center. Pizza place next door delivers there. Best pizza in town. Bowling. Best televisions for watching sports in the city. There is a gourmet Mexican place at the Epicenter, but I can’t think of the name of it. Cajun Queen: Very close to downtown. New Orleans without the smell of sewage. Great place. Vivace: Very close to downtown. Best Italian in the city. Mimosa Grill: Low country cooking. Some say the best place to eat in Charlotte. I would agree. If it was my decision, I would go to any of these places and then go the Epicenter and go to Wild Wing Café after dinner. They have live music every night and it is usually pretty good. Have fun and be safe.

This is the second suspension in two years for the BB team. I can't remember the last suspension the football team has had and they have almost six times the number of players on scholarship as the BB team. Sure you want to go down this road?

I'm interested to see how much fan overreaction to this story there may be. So far, all we know he is suspended. With the amount of rules they have to follow, it could be anything from missing a class to something much more serious like a law violation. Perhaps he had salmon with a bagel; however, that is only an ncaa violation, not a University violation. In big time college sports, things like this happen. I'm leaning toward shrugging this off. The MBB program has been pretty clean over the past few years. Over time, the percentages catch up with everyone and they just caught up with us.

This is reason enough. You could have saved yourself a lot of typing.

68-19

NO. He can't recruit. His recruits don't have the base athletic talent to win in the MAC.

Would you like to go on record some more? Wow....you manned up and called him out after 2 years. Impressive. CK knows of one guy who will not post here anymore because of Skip Zip. I know 3 that won't post because of you. True story. I think ZW is man enough to take a joke. Too bad you know three guys who aren't.

We need a coach who can attract MAC level players and turn them into something. A big splash is not needed.

I don't disagree that he is a bad coach. I'm going to trust my eyes though. I see guys who have the speed of someone running in sand compared to the other team. I see guys who don't jump as high as the other team's guys do. I see guys who can't run fast enough on kickoff return to get back to block before the defenders are by them. I see both QB with weak arms. I see defensive linemen who don't have the speed or strength to get off of blocks of more athletic players on offense.A huge complaint I have is the players have quit. There is no heart on this team and there isn't a single one of them who couldn't be replaced.

That's not really funny.

Yes, it is. It's the single biggest problem this program has. Coaching can be fixed quickly....talent isn't as easy.

Would you like to go on record some more?

There is nothing funny about it.

Maybe they are on vacation this week. Covering the Zips probably isn't much of a priority at the abj right now.

I'm done watching. It's shocking how bad this team is.

I'm rooting for the Zips to win AND a new coach.

This used to be common. Not so much anymore. I think Nebraska has done it in the past. If I'm not mistaken, Wisconsin did it with Alvarez for a while. I'm sure our Basketball and Soccer coaches would have a problem with it.

Rubber chickens have a way of kicking back after every banquet.

We should all celebrate Black Friday by posting examples of American stupidity on this day. Find some of your own and post them on this topic. We could all use a good laugh today. I hope the I-Pod is worth some time in the hole.

He can make more money eating rubber chicken on the speaking tour.
