Quickzips Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/in...t_river_default Apparently, according to Elton, the Zips need to take a page from OU's book and be a more balanced program. Never mind that: The Zips have beaten the Bobcats in 4 straight meetings including an overtime win in Athens a few weeks ago. The CMU team that OU beat last night, the one they had to come from 18 down to beat, at home. Yeah, the Zips beat them on the road less than a week ago and lead most of the way in doing it. The "solid" post player, Jon Smith. Yeah, he averages 7 points and 6.5 rebounds a night and has only scored in double figures 4 times all year (once against mighty Heidelberg). Stevie Taylor, the "solid" point guard, averages 8 points and 3 assists per night while turning the ball over 2 times per game, shooting below 40% from the field and below 60% from the free throw line. Ohh, and a quick look at the standings in the MAC East, Akron (6-1), Ohio (5-2). But let's not let a little thing like facts get in our way shall we. I know our PG play isn't good, but this article is pretty ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Akron has much more balanced scoring than Ohio does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Elton's opinion means less than zero. http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaab/eye-on-col...on-sunday-right http://www.bloguin.com/runthefloor/2012-ar...ain-dealer.html These links come from less than 5 minutes of trying. After reading both of those articles it made me re-realize how stupid the AP ranking system is. Why on earth are we still using such a ridiculous, blatantly-token-favoritism system?

zippy5 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Internet Divas the Cause of Treadwell's Early-season Troubles Have fun with this one. Ha! Considering Tree wasn't quoted saying anything close to that, I wonder where that came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 What is Elton's handle on here? GT comes on here and doesn't hide behind a fake name. Any speculation on this board was after he wasn't at practice and didn't cause him to leave....sadly it is a nice article and that one line made me go really WTF?

Aaron Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't always read about the Zips, but when I do its only George Thomas and Zips Nation You should add hustle belt to that list - it's been pretty good this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that: The Zips have beaten the Bobcats in 4 straight meetings including an overtime win in Athens a few weeks ago. No kidding. How do you ignore this? I think the article definitely takes a tone that OU has it right, with no mention at all of the results of the recent games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Internet Divas the Cause of Treadwell's Early-season Troubles Have fun with this one. He was sulking around on the court prior to his disappearance. If this writer even took a minute to do some background on this column, he would have found out that there was no question he was not practicing with the team and there was in fact uncertainty from the head coach as to his return. How do I know that, I read it in a George Thomas article. Upon hearing the rumors, George picked up his pen and writing pad, went to the arena and performed this action called "reporting". While "reporting" he asked the coach about Trees return and he said, "no comment". KD calls it like it is. If Tree was coming back, he would have said so and not thrown out a "no comment". Given the uncertainty of the head coach, how could anyone do anything other than speculate as to his disappearance and questionable return at the time?

LZIp Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Elton is an idiot, but I wouldn't mind at all for trading OU's success the past 5 years for ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
