Staton14 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 I know Chauncey was in a faternity so it could be. Quote
Balsy Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 As much as the ABJ, Fox8 might not be the most friendly media to UA, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mess up names released to them. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Why would he still be in a fraternity if he graduated? Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Why would he still be in a fraternity if he graduated?You're right. It's probably the Chauncey Gilliam from Stow. Totally different. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 You're right. It's probably the Chauncey Gilliam from Stow. Totally different.Or maybe the Chauncey Gilliam of Bedford Heights. Quote
Balsy Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Why would he still be in a fraternity if he graduated?Because he could still be involved with them post-graduate? Quote
Sportsjunkie330 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 I know Chauncey was in a faternity so it could be.Yes, it is the Chauncey Gilliam that was the basketball player for the Zips. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 This whole incident is stupid. From the hazing going on as long as it did, to the victim not treating his wounds before they became severely infected. Quote
jupitertoo Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 This whole incident is stupid. From the hazing going on as long as it did, to the victim not treating his wounds before they became severely infected.There is an article in the latest issue of The Atlantic covering the increased violence and danger of fraternity life, including a rather shocking yet hilarious set of examples related to damage to one's most private areas. Any parent with a college-bound child really needs to read this article. Quote
Dr Z Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 This whole incident is stupid. From the hazing going on as long as it did, to the victim not treating his wounds before they became severely infected.Originally I thought it was just a minor wiping issue, but now I realize its a major whipping issue. Zips basketball has made some repugnant headlines in the last year. Quote
Big Zip Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 At least this didn't happen while he was playing but it really brings into question the basketball program right? The previous conversation relative to Harney, the Abreu situation, Q sat out a year...we have consistently talked about other programs with issues and it seems we aren't any better. Quote
tomzip Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 At least this didn't happen while he was playing but it really brings into question the basketball program right? The previous conversation relative to Harney, the Abreu situation, Q sat out a year...we have consistently talked about other programs with issues and it seems we aren't any better.I agree, I used to look at Can't State as a bunch of thugs, but they played a street ball style of basketball that was tough to beat, as we have elevated our winning ways I think it goes hand in hand with a trend towards those type of players. Not all obviously, but it may seem as a broad stroke of the paint brush painting our program this way, but I think most agree what I am talking about. (remember the Hipsher days) Quote

(remember the Hipsher days)Can someone explain to us young people the "Hipsher days"...I'm lost... Quote
Big Zip Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 The Hipsher days were grand compared to the Coleman Crawford days. Quote
Dr Z Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Can someone explain to us young people the "Hipsher days"...I'm lost...Hipsher was 74-90 in the MAC back when the MAC was a two bid conference. Quote
skip-zip Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Can someone explain to us young people the "Hipsher days"...I'm lost...Let me put it this way:I believe we won only 1 or 2 MAC Tournament games...total....during Hipsher's tenure (I think it was just short of 10 years)By contrast, we now win that many tournament games or more in any given YEAR. So, it's not a surprise that the young folks would not even know who he is. Quote
GoZips Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Originally I thought it was just a minor wiping issue, but now I realize its a major whipping issue. Zips basketball has made some repugnant headlines in the last year. What the hell does this have to do with Zip basketball?The staff has to wet nurse former players until what age? Twenty-six?This incident has nothing to do with Zip basketball. Perhaps the well known and often in trouble fraternity needs looked into. Quote
Balsy Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks for explaining guys! Obviously as a young person, Dambrot has been the only coach since I've been following the team. I'll have a little reading to do Quote
GP1 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Perhaps the well known and often in trouble fraternity needs looked into.Is/was the former player in question a member of this well known and often in trouble fraternity? Quote

I can guarantee you that behavior like that is not tolerated by not only our members but the governing council at Akron and our national headquarters. Quote
Hilltopper Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Is this well known and often in trouble fraternity you are speaking of known as "The fraternity of Zips Men's Basketball"?This is an ignorant comment. What happened at that frat house has nothing to do with Akron Basketball. And to imply that the basketball program is troubled is equally dumb. Quote
LZIp Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 This is an ignorant comment. What happened at that frat house has nothing to do with Akron Basketball. And to imply that the basketball program is troubled is equally dumb. I did not imply that the basketball program had anything to do with it. Just pointed that another person associated with the program has added yet another black mark. Not about to continue beating the dead horse.We need more players of Zeke Marshall's character. Damn I miss that guy. Quote
