Word is that as of last week there has been record ticket sales for the tournament. In the neighborhood of a 50% increase over total sales from last year with a week still to go. Rocket Mortgage is going to be rocking!

Another season ending with 6 injured players on the bench. Some good news is that our top recruit from last year whonwas injured in the state finals in Indiana and never saw the floor for us is back practicing and should be ready to play in 26-27. We also have one of the finalists for this year's Ms Ohio Basketball signed for next. Ryan and Bud are already working on who to target in the transfer portal. Eventually our luck has to change.

Seriously!? I'll buy.

You and CK are just young whipper snappers compared to me and ZZZips!

He is not getting the job. He was not a finalist. The only person with an Akron connection who was in the mix was Heather Lyke. But that seems unlikely now. http://Complaint alleges Lyke contributed to ‘culture of intimidation' at SU https://share.google/Zdhpf4NGDFCpKV9vR

At last count, there has been only 1 student earn a degree from this program. The I Promise institute at Infocision has been empty for a couple of years.

At that time, basketball had an exclusive deal because of Dambrot. That ship sailed.

Other than a few sneakers, everything at UA associated with Lebron is a farce. Time to move on to a better deal.

Sac St currently has an athletics budget of over $55 million/year. Thier enrollment is around 40k. Student fees pay most of the buget. Currently around $1000 per year. All the California state schools are heavily subsidized by the state government. Base tuition is only $5500. Their plan is to add another $400 in student fees to pay for this. Plus they are going to play 2-3 money games each season. We are just a stepping stone to a bigger stage. BTW, the rumors about OU and Miami leaving for the SBC are not BS. Another reason why the MAC is interested in Sac St.

Here is a link to the highlights. Those refs must have been high on something to make that ejection. NCAAM Highlights: UMass at Akron (2/13) Watch Now https://cbs-sports.app.link/iTNUxQ2QK0b

Based on my observations, you are punching way over your weight class.🤣🤣

It will be a charter.

I just reached out to Angela. The code is ZIPS26

I'm watching K-state get demolished at home by Iowa St right now. Down by 30 at the half. Nate is probably the 3rd or 4th option on a really bad team. His mom and her husband were at the JAR Friday night. I asked how he was doing and she was pretty non-commital, just saying he was fine.

In case you forgot, we had a devout Muslim player on the team just 2 years ago. He didn't seem too offended by the culture of the team. In fact, he left and came back for more.

They had them in the Tommy Evans lounge pregame to sing the Alma Mater as well. It was embarrassingly putrid. It looks like somebody dropped the ball on this one.

Actually that is the second time this season a student won the contest. Both times at the womens game. There have also been two winners in the putting contest at a women's game.

He was at the game last night.

Jim was a really good guy. I had him come speak at several business events I organized. PMA, Positive Mental.Attitude!

For a Monday night, Christmas break game against a D2 opponent, I thought the attendance was pretty good. It was a fun night.

Tickets are gone.

I can't make the game tonight. I have 4 lower bowl seats and Tommy Evans passes. DM me if interested.
