GoZips Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Today I had the opportunity to speak with a delightful young lady. She is a telephonerep for my dental insurance company. They and her are located in Spokane, WA.During our chat I asked her if she had heard of the University of Akron. "Oh, yes", shereplied, "they are one of the BIG name schools coach Few mentioned that he is tryingto schedule for the Zags." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandgold Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I wonder if she was being sarcastic or if Gonzaga looks at us as a serious "big" basketball opponent. I hope it is the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zip37 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Maybe Coach Few remembers a few years back when HE was good & people were running away from him.With ball amminition lock and load, and, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyrifle32 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 oh man it would be great to get to play the zags. not just because they have a good program and would give us good exposure, but my mother would never hear the end of it if we won (zag alumn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 HOOPLA ... interesting. I checked with the coaches just yesterday and they say "no way"concerning playing Gonzaga. I got the distinct impression that Gonzaga wants Akronto play them in the "Battle of Seattle." Apparently the coaches do not like the ideafor what ever reasons. I did not ask.Boise State. Where did you come up with that? I was told that they have not had anycommunication with Boise State. None. Nada. Zilch.Wyoming. Now there is a potentially nice tip. Tentatively the Cowboys are coming toZippyland just before Christmas. Note, I said "tentatively." The contract for this gameand a return trip out to Laramie is not a sealed deal. But, it is in the works. My bestguess is that it will happen.I'm still holding my breath that we will go out to Seattle and play the Bulldogs. But, onlyif they are willing to come to the JAR or the "Q" next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
