  2. Michael will be playing on ESPN3 tonight (12/6) at 6:00 p.m. Check the Rock Bridge (MO) vs. Liberty North (MO) link under High School Boys Basketball on ESPN3. Michael plays for Liberty North. Well, this'll be easier. Here: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/#type/livenow/sport/basketball/

  4. I hope someone on the coaching staff calls into question Kwan's manhood and lights a fire under him. We need him to play down low and make some grown man moves.
  5. Has anyone heard whether we're showing any interest in Perry RB/DB Keishaun Sims. He's kinda skinny at 6-0 but only 170 lbs., which is why I don't think he's received a single scholarship offer yet. But here at Akron, wouldn't we want to take a chance on a local athlete like this? Use him as a defensive corner. He's been named 1st Team Division 2 All-Ohio & Co-Offensive POTY. He holds the Stark County all-time single season rushing record of 3,108 yards as well as the county record for single-season points scored at 264. According to the Canton Repository, Sims' 3,108 yards are the 6th most in Ohio history... and this with one game to play, as Sims has led Perry to the D2 state championship game this Friday. IMHO,he just seems like a perfect target for Akron. http://www.fridaynightohio.com/news/perrys-sims-wakefield-top-local-names-all-ohio-football-teams
  6. The solid blue uni's we wore against Buffalo were great. Blue helmet, jersey & pants. My favorite of the year. I also like our solid white look on the road. The white kangaroo helmet we wore against Can't was pretty sweet too. (IMHO would have looked better with white pants.) I love the Z logo on anything. Basically, I love the uniform combos we've got going right now. Very cool. Honestly some of my favorite uniforms in college football & I'm not just saying that because I'm a Zips fan.
  7. Thanks! Just bought 5 tickets for $6 each. Nice!
  8. These guys S.U.C.K.! But we are playing like S.H.I.T.!
  9. Ivey's given us much more energy out there. Antino, of course, is pure energy.
  10. ^^Why can we so easily see that but guys who've been playing ball all their lives can't?
  11. Let these guys shoot jumpers & stop getting beat off the dribble. These guys can't shoot straight & are just looking to drive to the basket.
  12. ^^I take that back about Utomi. That's Ivey in there.
  13. So far we're laying an all-too-typical Akron egg.

They bottled us up defensively. They were getting incredible numbers into the attack and their movement off the ball along our back line was something I’ve never really seen before and I’ve been in the game a long, long time.”
  15. Well, I'll get this thread started as I'm anxious for this game already. IMHO, this is a huge game if we want to obtain a regular-season Top 25 ranking. If we can crack the Top 25 early in the season maybe we can start to fill the JAR for games other than those against Ohio, Buffalo & Can't. Green Bay is 1-3, with their only win coming against Minnesota-Duluth, an NCAA D-II school. However, the Phoenix gave Stanford all they could handle, in losing to the Cardinal 89-93 in OT. UWGB then got beat by a very tough East Tennessee State, 90-103. ETSU is 3-1 on the year with an impressive 69-68 win over Georgia Tech in Atlanta. This while UWGB got demolished by GT 77-107. (ETSU, however, was also beaten by Villanova 86-51, so lost to the Wildcats by 35, whereas we "only" lost to Villanova by 19. But now I'm really daisy-chaining.) If we were at full strength I'd be fully confident about Tuesday's game. But we are far from that. The loss of Pat worries me the most as now we only have 2 true bigs and one (Cheatham) doesn't really like playing down low and the other (Big Dog) might really struggle playing 30+ minutes. Additionally, we've been on the road for a while & might be tired. But... Go Zips, beat the Phoenix! Get through this game and we've got a couple easier games to play at home while we get healthy. After Villanova, I think we should be favored to win every game the rest of the regular season (save, perhaps, CMU) which is pretty crazy to think about. Mission: Top 25!!
  16. I love the solid blue uniform combo, btw.
  17. Last I heard not till after Christmas break... at the earliest.

  19. I think I just heard in the post game show that Kretzer may have broke a rib. Probably why Utomi's redshirt was burned.
  20. Saw that too. Interesting. Coaching staff must be really high on Isaiah Williams coming in next year to burn Utomi's redshirt this year. I hope Utomi gets sufficient minutes to develop & make burning his redshirt worth it.
  21. Spot on. I'm getting butterflies already.
