johnnyzip84 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I enjoyed the interview with Harney and the segment on Frenchy. Nick handled himself pretty well, as I'm sure he was a little nervous. Dunn asked him to discuss things he's done well and things he needs to work on early in his college career, and Nick only got around to talking about the good He talked about how patient he's been, letting the game come to him and KD agreed (as do I). I couldn't recall when Steve started as the voice of the Zips, but he said he's been doing it since 1989. It just SEEMS like he's done it forever. He loves the Zips as much as we do and I'm glad we have a quality guy like him on the radio side, homer extraordinaire or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class of 82 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I couldn't recall when Steve started as the voice of the Zips, but he said he's been doing it since 1989. It just SEEMS like he's done it forever. He loves the Zips as much as we do and I'm glad we have a quality guy like him on the radio side, homer extraordinaire or not! No disagreement. Just a comment your post brought to mind. Steve French is a definitely a homer, but I think that's part and parcel of being a team's play-by-play guy as opposed to a general-audience play-by-play guy. He's not just super professional at being our eyes and ears; he's subject to the same emotions we are, which creates that real sense of connection and excitement. It's guys like Frenchie and Joe Dunn (and their counterparts around the country) that have kept and still keep radio such a great sports medium, even in this age of cable television.

Dr Z Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nick handled himself pretty well, as I'm sure he was a little nervous.I enjoyed listening to Nick as well. What did Nick mean when he said "I messed up.." followed by a hard cut edit. Editing is getting worse. How could Joe Dunn interview Nick and not ask him about the "The Harney 20 Rule?" Catch up Dunn.

Editing is getting worse. That had me puzzled, too. Nick was discussing how he looks at how the defense is playing the other Zip forwards before he enters the game, and he started to talk about whether the defense is fronting them or...... and I think he momentarily had trouble coming up with the words to describe "playing behind your man" (as opposed to fronting). You're right, they should have cleaned that up. But then I wouldn't have gotten a chuckle out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 The biggest question remains. Can Joe Dunn actually smile?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 The biggest question remains. Can Joe Dunn actually smile?? He had some more trouble with that tonight. Tonight's show wasn't bad. Brian Walsh did a fine job. The 3-pt shooting clinic was a little corny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 The 3-pt shooting clinic was a little corny though.Agreed. The spot with the strength coach tonight was much more informative. I like how KD spoke about Q's family. That's a nice touch. He seems to care about his players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to care about his players. I liked the conversation with and about Q as well. The fact that there's coaching background in Q's family provided some insight into his competitiveness. And Joe also contrasted Q's on and off court personalities. I liked Q saying "he's all business between the 4 lines". I have a better understanding of how and why he behaves the way he does during games, and I'm more willing to accept a few moments of "overdoing it" now that I see where he's coming from.

Dr Z Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Flicking around last night (awesome sports night), I run across The Viking Basketball Report. Great set, good graphics, HD....come on Akron, you can do something at least on par with a Horizon league show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good HD, Gary Waters drawing up plays...seems better than ours so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plowerman78 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 they shoot the viking basketball report at the STO studios, compared to ours which i think is in the team lounge i think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjackson123 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Mistake to have both of Coach D's shows on the same night back to back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 When Dambrot starts doing a show that is on the air 5 days a week and 52 weeks a year, you might have a point. Since we're only talking 15 shows, I'm sure KD won't need any vacation time from the demanding schedule.No KD on Monays show. Coach Thomas takes over and comes up with "little guy on the stairs" referring to KD cutting down the nets! Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Enjoyed the interviews with Blake and Deji yesterday. Worth checking out. Should only take 12 minutes of your time with a DVR. FF until you see either Blake or Deji. You can FF past Dunn repeating multiple times "we tape on Sunday at 3:30, so we don't know who or where we play in the NIT." KD expressed his desire to play at home and on Wednesday, obviously we got neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the listings and STO had preseason baseball listed; no Zips Basketball w/ KD. Hopefully they'll play it again later this week.

Hopefully they'll play it again later this week. I came to the same conclusion when looking through Massillon Cable's guide, but I decided to go ahead and see for myself. Sure enough, Massillon Cable had the Indians on well past 6:00 pm. I guess I'm just screwed for this (final for 2012?) show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It was a good show this week. In stark contrast to last week's information-packed session where we learned of all Chauncey Gilliam's bathroom contents. And saw the funeral guy commercial about 13 times.

Zips Win! Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Really? You wanted to watch it this week. I'll pass on sports for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'll pass on sports for a while.Good idea, you wouldn't want to hear what happen to the Cowboys recently anyway. Honestly, I was interested in how KD's mood was. He handled it better than you or I would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I watched the coach’s show last night, and I have to say the segment with Tim Campbell (Director of Strength and Conditioning) was one of the more informative pieces I have seen. His revelation on how Pat Forsythe was slow to “buy in” to the merits of the program, only to turn that around this past off-season and become its greatest benefactor, was particularly enlightening given Pat’s huge leap forward (overall) on the court this year. Tim stated Pat increased his vertical press by 30% over last summer! It’ll be interesting to see the physical difference in Pat next year.KD also acknowledged a few of the things that have been said recently on ZNo:The team takes too many 3’sIf Kwan gets back to focusing on defense and rebounding (he has done a better job of this lately), his offense will come to him (the 3’s will fall more often when not focusing on them)He wanted to use that 6th foul on Juice Brown with less time remaining on the clock (plan was for around 5 seconds left), but the inexperience of Antino apparently caused him to jump the gun (no mention of a possible 2 for 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Currently, the Zips rank 4th in 3 point attempts and rank 164th in 3 point percentage of made shots. Not a winning combination.Hopefully, he will get his team to take higher percentage shots and we can stop this losing streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
