  1. "Wire fraud" makes it sound worse than tax and child support evasion. Not good, but probably a case of over-charging. IAC, Romeo hath doneth the wrong thing. 😥
  2. Lockett blocks Stone at the buzzer in OT and Toledo holds on for a 75-74 win. Shame! 😉
  3. 46-42 Canada. Bullettes shooting >50% from 3.
  4. I wasn't watching the start of OT, and somehow PCCC was awarded with a technical foul. WHAT HAPPENED? So rare for a tech before the clock starts!
  5. Make that...Nate! 🤷‍♂️
  6. Why did Tavari vacate the lane like that? And why is their president dressed like Elvis? Questions to ponder for the ages! 🤔🥴
  7. Sorry! I did a double take when I saw "Coach K" associated with the Rockets. Then I remembered, it's 'K' for Futility!
  8. Buffalo women draw as well as our men's team! 😕
  9. How's about 23 of 27? 🤷‍♂️
  10. For info: The geniuses who maintain the University of Akron athletics website have corrected the roster and now after at least 6 months have Kobe Mitchell and Nate Johnson listed as "R-Fr". So I don't have to ask if the players plan to leave school early.
  11. Surprised to read that! He had 23 tonight and is averaging just under 22. That has to be tops in the league...with the possible exception of an EMU player who is a FAIL. And he's a senior, which is an advantage. Who's ahead of X-Cast who's not in an Akron uniform? ...Thinking...Milner? IF Toledo wins the regular season that's to his advantage, but he doesn't have POY numbers.
  12. Can you imagine if he and Sincerely Carry were on the same team? What coach could put up with that? 😉😉
  13. Does anyone know if Rachel Martindale has been nursing an injury? It sure seems like the second half of the season we had just four reliable bodies on the roster... Move on and motivate for a Big Result in Cleveland and beyond!
  14. Some surprising scores early on in Saturday MAC games. Bowling Green after their recent home loss to NIU is having lots of trouble, down 35-21 at the Strohs to UB. And PCCC WAS having trouble vs EMU, trailing 23-13 after one, but outscoring the Eagles 16-2 to take a 30-24 lead with 3 mins left in the half. Katie Shumate has 16 already.
  15. Is Annika injured or did she quit/enter portal?
  16. Great effort by our team versus the cream of the MAC! 28 point first quarter for Zips gave them a great start, but Toledo had too many arms and legs. Proud as heck of this group!!
  17. I don't think it's too early to start playing the game of "Who's Next". So, here goes. An obvious place to look is C-Guth's last location, home of the Green Bay Phoenix -- a long time mid-major power. Their HC, Kevin Borseth is in his late 60s and has over 700 career wins in 35+ seasons. His 2nd in command is Megan Vogel, who is surely waiting out her time till she can climb into the HC box. 3rd is Sarah Bronk, who's only experience outside Green Bay is high school jobs. I'm a follower and fan of Florida Gulf Coast, who's HC Karl Smesko hails from Hudson. Karl's def not leaving the comfort of Fort Meyers, even for a SEC or ACC job. But his Associate HC is a promising young gal, Chelsea Lyles who could potentially be within reach with the right package. Sorry to see this thread and this season be taken over so prematurely by a coaching change, but I'm not the one in charge... 😒
  18. The one interesting point no one has added is that the general (non-ZipsNation reading) public will find out in about July or August when they see a small feature on the web mentioning that someplace like IUPU (just pulling a name out of my head 😉) has just named Melissa Jackson as their new WBB coach and they'll say... "Hey! I thought she was Akron's coach!" Ahem.
  19. I hear The Basketball Tournament is interested in advancing all the way to the title game, so they can ensure high streaming and Gametracker ratings for a showdown between Louisville and Georgetown. Only problem is the Hoyas may have blown their big chance by beating a former NCAA championship game team. Has Georgetown ever played for a title?? 🤔😜
  20. Loving the X-Cast on ESPN3. Xavier with 17 in 16 minutes. 40 spot tonight??
