QUOTE(ziptrumpet87 @ Nov 24 2007, 05:15 PM)  If memory serves me Joe Jakubic never met a shot he didn't like ... or take. He was a gunner on some very bad Akron teams. He never did impress me when he played or afterward when he blew the whistle on the Zips program. -------------------- You can always tell a fool but sometimes

The person who blew the whistle in the mid 80s was NOT JJ, the person who did told me about it, right after he called the NCAA.

It amazes me that anyone that posts on this site (and therefore is a hard-core Zips fan) would not have ever heard about Joe Jakubic.
I had the pleasure of being in school during his time as a player. It was pretty cool to see a Zip lead the nation in scoring. Unfortunately, his game was not multi-dimensional enough to translate into an NBA career. I have never heard his name associated with our troubles with the NCAA that occurred in the early 80's. |

I always thought the Buchtelite was where the story broke, and the NCAA got hold of it from there. Other observations?  |

QUOTE(you am i @ Nov 28 2007, 12:10 PM) For those of us who don't know, what whistle blowing incident are you talking about? I had graduated by the time this happened and the only thing I remember (vaguely) was what was printed in the Beacon, so I have a faulty memory at best. What I thought was that the Akron Basketball Coach had given money or provided "fringe benefits" to some players and recruits during the early 80's. Someone on the team (I thought it was Jakubic but maybe I am wrong) went to the NCAA and the team was put on suspension. If I remember correctly the Beacon implied that there was something strange about the whole affair. Anyone know the real story? -------------------- You can always tell a fool but sometimes
