NWAkron Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Yes. Didn't mean to forget him. For some reason would have been more upset if Noah transferred as opposed to Antino. Quote

I remember his teams really played an in-your-face style of D that was really frustrating. Hoping that's still the case. 1 Quote
kreed5120 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 It would certainly quiet the naysayers. Quote
NWAkron Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 I did predict Groce and the Hocking Hills earthquake. Looking in my crystal ball, Tilmon in a Zips uniform is really fuzzy. Quote

MDZip Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Good article on an Ohio alum point of view on the hire. Let's get this thing going! 2 Quote

kreed5120 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Quote Groce will be introduced to the campus and community during a news conference on Thursday, April 6, at 11 a.m. at the Student Union (Starbucks stage). Parking will be available in the Lot 36 Deck off of Exchange Street. The event will be streamed live on GoZips.com and Facebook Live. All fans are invited to a Meet-and-Greet at 6 p.m. on the E.J. Thomas Hall Stage. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. (please enter through the blue door). Light refreshments and a cash bar will be provided. Has anyone ever gone to one of these meet-and-greets? What are they like? I'm contemplating whether or not to rearrange my schedule to attend. Edited April 5, 2017 by kreed5120 Quote

zippyfan34 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 I can't go unless it rains hard and my son's practice is cancelled. If that happens I will try to make it with the kids as the wife has plans tomorrow night. Quote
akzipper Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I feel like "meet and greets" are always cheesy and a little bit awkward. Especially coming from a big school, the turnout will probably be a little bit depressing for Groce. I'd hope that maybe the Rowdies can get a big group to go or something. It would be nice to give him a warm welcome. Edited April 5, 2017 by akzipper Quote

He had been the head coach at Akron from 2004 to 2017 and an assistant with the Zips since 2001." No wonder Dambrot made so much money...he held two positions! Quote
odhgibo Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Mike Thomas was quoted in the PD story: "[W]hen you go through any experience, you should be a lot smarter and a lot better for it." That reminded me of a former boss who was fond of saying, "Good judgment is the result of experience. Experience is what you gain from bad judgment." I suspect that Groce arrived in Champaign-Urbana thinking he had the world by the tail. I hope that he now feels fortunate to be able to continue doing what he loves. Quote
