These early Friday games have been rough on me. Need to watch the replay soon. I did see that Mike LaTulip was the announcer tonight. Mike was the Evan Wilson on Groce’s Illinois team. Very similar in personality and both were incredible glue guys in the locker room.
Any affordable Zips gear like this is advantageous for me at the card shop I work at on the weekends. Akron gear sparks more conversation than people think. I've been wearing my Freeman jersey nearly every weekend recently and my boss told me some kids were quietly talking and pointing at the front of the jersey asking, "Is he wearing a Freeman jersey?"
It's a grassroots effort to promote the program/school haha.
Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but Fear the Roo Collective has a new hoodie. Just ordered mine. The vest I bought last year is top notch so I'm excited for the hoodie which is a New Era base. Pretty solid price, too, at $40. Go Zips!
Lots and lots of attention being focused on the MAC right now. I love it, especially because everybody is talking about Akron really being the team people should be paying attention to.
CBS Sports discussion on Miami's at large chances since they think Akron will win the tournament.
And an article on bid stealers since they make the argument if Akron beats Miami, Miami might still be an at-large team so that would be a bid stealer. Although that's not a huge upset because Akron's pretty damn close to being tournament worthy on their own.
Zips are the face of the article.
