ZipAlumn Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 http://www.ohio.com/sports/36795474.htmlA nice article about Humpty in today's paper. Quote
Dave in Green Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Good story with lots of info. Gotta love Humpty's attitude: ''I want an NCAA championship. I know there are many great teams out there, but that's my goal. I feel we can do big things in Akron.'' Quote
zipboy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Best thing to ever happen was the invention of the Internet. Instead of guessing what people want to read, you can track exactly who reads what on line. I doubt when Rasor started his blog anyone at the Beacon assumed it would be the #2 read blog on their website. People talk about buying the paper if there is a Zips article, that doesn't help. Click on every Zips article on line they write helps. Gaffney is a good writer with opinions. His recent pieces on the football wrap up and mid season basketball report were great. These kind of stories about Humpty where you are not going to get that at gozips or zipsnation are great. Obviously seeing more of this means more people than just those at ZipsNation are finding the stories interesting. Let's get 2 this week! Quote
you am i Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Good story with lots of info. Gotta love Humpty's attitude: ''I want an NCAA championship. I know there are many great teams out there, but that's my goal. I feel we can do big things in Akron.''If I recall, when Huggins gave his first press conferecne at the time that he was hired he said his goal was to bring an Akron an NCAA championship. Now at that time he was not "Bob Huggins" yet and so the statement seemed brash, to say the least. Still, I remember thinking, his players are listening to this and they probably have never heard anyone talk like that about the program before. He got my attention. Quote
Charlotte_49 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Nice story.I liked reading this little paragraph. Any basketball player on here can relate to this... ''When I first came up here, I couldn't make a shot. They were in and out, right or left, long or short,'' Hitchens said. ''I knew I had to put some extra work in. I started doing a lot more reps, working on shooting it the same way, working on the rhythm and the arc. I started getting comfortable. Now I feel every shot I take is going in.'' Quote
