November 28, 2007

Football
Jabari Arthur and Reggie Corner are All-MAC First Team.
Brion Stokes, Chris Kemme and Almondo Sewell are second teamers. John Mackey, Bryan Williams and Kevin Grant are third teamers.

Running game notes

November 24, 2007

Men's basketball

Keep refreshing the page throughout the half. I'll be adding notes as we go…
Zips starting lineup: Cedrick Middleton, Nick Dials, Jimmy Conyers, Quade Milum and Jeremiah Wood.

Walker is gone, replaced by Kevin Broadus, who came from Georgetown as one of the nation's most touted assistant coaches.
The Bearcats return a lot of their [...]
