Dave in Green Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 @Zipmeister, next time you speak with Bob, you can let him know that Pat is responding well to living closer to his father and being able to see him more often. Concern over his father's well-being was undoubtedly a distraction for him at WVU, and may have affected perception of his work ethic. So far the Zips coaching staff is pleased with Pat's efforts, and after seeing him go up against Zeke in open gym, so am I. It's true that work ethic makes the difference between an OK performer and a great performer, and it's hard to predict which players will demonstrate a sustained high level of work ethic as they move up from HS to college. But it's interesting to note what Pat's HS coach had to say about the work ethic he demonstrated between his junior and senior seasons that turned an OK sub on no college team's radar into a great HS all-star offered by many high majors: “The fact that all these big schools showed interest in Pat says a lot about his work ethic since his season ended,” said Brunswick boys basketball coach Joe Mackey. “Pat has great hands, great feet, great work ethic and he competes harder than anyone I’ve seen.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'll base Pat's effectiveness in game situations, not practice. Some on this site have been fooled before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsfan33 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Didn't Captain Penny once say, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you Can't Fool Mom." Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Didn't Captain Penny once say, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you Can't Fool Mom." Just saying... Well, Jas thanks for that slap to the memory cells. However, anyone under 50 may just think you're writing about the newest thing from Mattel.

Just saying... Actually he said that more than once; he said it toward the close of every episode. The only better advice offered by a local TV personality was when Goulardi would tell his viewers to, "Turn blue little neighbors." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsfan33 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 How about when Barnaby said "If someone calls tell them Barnaby said hello, and that you are the nicest person around." At least that's how I remember it going. I am a huge local history guy! I have tons of "old" local tv stuff ( Superhost, Big Chuck/Hoolihan/Lil John/ Ghoulardi/Capt. Penny stuff on dvd. Funny thing is...Im only 33! Anyways, Go Zips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sort of similar story to one of the Zips own. After just three weeks, Adrian Coxson left Florida — the school, the team and the NFL dream — to go home to Maryland and help take care of my father (who become blind). I wouldn’t even say it was a tough decision. It was the only decision.----------------------------------------------------------------------Forsythe has two eyes tattooed on his chest to represent his father, Patrick, who since high school has been battling a degenerative eye condition that has gradually taken his sight. His father's worsening eye sight is one of the main reasons why Forsythe elected to transfer from West Virginia University to The University of Akron three years ago.More on Adrian (including small Joe Haden reference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsjunkie330 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hey wait....weren't we promised that there was going to be 4-5 players leaving the program, including Pat?When will the announcements be made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hey wait....weren't we promised that there was going to be 4-5 players leaving the program, including Pat?When will the announcements be made?Yeah, I turned down an easy $1000 from some guy wanted to bet me that Robothom was transferring out.

mes102 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 The UA president will announce soon that he will cut the basketball program, cut ties with MAC, and hire more of his administration buddies. In all fairness, for any of those(especially 4-5?!?!?!?!?) to transfer in a season that our depth is going to be our strength(until injuries happen) would be a dumb move. I never put much stock in that comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly would that role be? From what I saw during Pats tenure with the Zips they did everything in their power to make him the focal point of the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I can only hope that Grand Rapids has their own fan forum. Good luck Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
