Valpo Zip Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 The gentleman with the screen name Gozips used to be a frequent poster on this board until has account was suspended for a month (if i remember correctly). I tried looking for him at the Q without much luck. I hope he is doing all right and since I don't have any way to contact him, any info from other fellow posters him will be appreciated. Thanks.

Dave in Green Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I talk with GoZips all the time. He's in good health and is as feisty as ever. I'll PM you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksu sucks Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Remember the sweet 16 prediction? GoZips wasn't far off. If the ball bounced a different way, we would be in OU's position and threatening for a sweet 16 run. I can't wait for next year. Zips....please win some OOC games so that we don't have to pin our tournament hopes on a single game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zips....please win some OOC games so that we don't have to pin our tournament hopes on a single game. We didn't make the tournament, and got eliminated without winning a game in the tournament for the next 32 non-qualifying teams. I'd say that's a long, long, long way away from being in the Sweet 16. We're we almost in the Elite 8 in 2002, if we had only had a couple of bounces go our way against Ken+ that year? Lets be remotely realistic. Using your logic, every team in the country could make a claim that they were almost in the Sweet 16. I completely agree with your last sentence.

Dave in Green Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well, let's not put words in GoZips' mouth. Let's see what he actually said when he first mentioned the Zips as a sweet 16 team. Note the words that I bolded at the end of his post: What is happening in men's basketball? A lot, actually. The pre-season trip to Canada is set. The team will start practice August first. On the tenth they leave for Toronto for the first of five games with Canadian teams. The first game to be played in Toronto and the remaining four will be played in Montreal. I do not have any opponent team names at this time. The two incoming freshmen are on campus and participating in "open gym" pick up games with the current Zips players. All the Zips are currently healthy which is good news. The team is "deep" and very, very athletic. Still, the entire MAC East will be "loaded" this Fall. The Zips may be ranked as the second or third best team in the early going; well, on paper. Personally, I think Akron is far and away the team to beat. Ball State and Western Michigan are expected to give the East teams a run for the roses. Met and spoke with "Tree", Demetrius Treadwell for the first time. Tree is a large wide body of the Cvetinovic mold. He certainly looks fit and ready to play. Great attitude to top off his disarming smile and gentle presence. He is immediately likeable. He came to play. Heard a lot of good and encouraging words about the incoming talent. That is, those players who sat out last year and the two non-qualifiers. Who, both made grades. For those of you who have long clamored for a "tough" schedule ... you get your wish. The Zips open the season at Mississippi State with a road game not long after in Morgantown against the West Virginia Mountaineers. Marshall comes to town along with Detroit (they are loaded) and Virginia Commonwealth. Trips to Valpo and Duquesne are scheduled. While the schedule is not complete, these games are firm. Oh, a short trip up to Cleveland State on the docket. It is going to be a banner year for the talented and deep Zips. Anything less than the Sweet Sixteen will be a couple of yards short of their goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksu sucks Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Skip-zip, you are the anti-Gozips. Dave, thanks for the correction. He was probably dead on with that prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
