Dave in Green Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 The Beavers look like a United Nations team with one player each from Canada, Australia, Sweden and The Netherlands, and two from Senegal. They also have six players on the roster standing 6-10 to 7-0, and their smallest player is 6-1. The Zips will not have a size advantage in this game. Regardless of our personal political beliefs, I think we can all come together and unanimously agree that we want to see President Obama return to the White House disappointed after seeing his brother-in-law's team lose to the Zips.

Captain Kangaroo Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Oregon State is playing Towson on Sirius radio tonight, if anyone is interested. If no one is interested, they're still on Sirius. I caught the pregame and the Beavers are all looking forward to the Hawaii trip. They expect multiple wins.

akronzips71 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I notice that they put the Dance on their schedule page. Must be nice to play in a real conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be disappointed if Obama returns to the White House. Maybe he can just stay there and play golf for the next three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I notice that they put the Dance on their schedule page. Must be nice to play in a real conference. I would hardly consider the PAC 12 a "real" conference. There are mid-major conferences who receive more bids than them. I think it was two years ago where they were only a 1 bid conference until that team was upset in the conference tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I think the PAC-12 is the third best conference this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 ESPN Preview of the tournament Not a lot of credit given to the Zips. Hopefully we go out and prove them wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I think the PAC-12 is the third best conference this year. You'd think that teams like UCLA, Arizona, Stanford and Arizona State would fare "ok" if you dropped them in the MAC for a season. But who knows... I guess we'll know for sure when a middle-of-the-PAC Oregon State faces the perennial MAC champ on a neutral court this Sunday night.

Z.I.P. Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 The Beavers have two players, Devon Collier and Roberto Nelson who average 25 and 23 points per game (not sure at this moment whom gets the 25, but they're both big threats). However, Roberto Nelson received a red card ejection in the first half of last night's Towson St. game. Does anyone know if he has to sit out his next game, or is that just under FIFA rules? Sorry, as I will tell kd and his group when they arrive in 5 hours, I'm still operating in futbol mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Punched a player. Interesting. Might be worth the price of admission to see him try that with Tree or Big Dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Oregon State men's basketball link Anyone have a link to the Oregon State message board? Looks like this is 1 message board.. I learned Dominique Moceanu was an Akron alum. I had a crush on her in the '96 Olympics. Although Wikipedia says she got a business degree from John Carrol in 2009.

Dave in Green Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Love the creative writing on that message board! Head Coach Keith Dambrot used an impressive head-coaching resume of two years at Tiffin, two years at Ashland, and two losing years at Central Michigan to vault himself into the top job at his alma mater.

skip-zip Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I will be disappointed if Obama returns to the White House. Maybe he can just stay there and play golf for the next three years. That would be nice, wouldn't it? Heck, he's already played a record amount of golf even when he IS performing his duties as President, if you want to call it that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all Zips, and we all know we want Obama second guessing his pick of whichever team plays Akron in March because of the games he watched in Hawaii!

Ham Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 It will be way cool to have the leader of the free world attend their game. His mojo factor favoring the Beavers is a concern. I also wonder about the neutral court. Oregon State has a football game in Hawaii on the 24th. I would guess that many of their fans would double up and take in some BB games too. Can Big Zip round up some equalizers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
