All Activity

I really thought I'd see Gage Summers somewhere. I know he caused and recovered multiple fumbles as well as some sacks. Seemed like he was in most every play in some way.

One thing to keep in mind, although I don't think it's really factoring into him not playing right now...Two-way players can only be active for 50 NBA games per season. He couldn't be active every game from here on out even if they wanted him to be. Unless, they convert him to a regular contract.

Ok

As I suspected, it's BS. If you knew whom had been offered the job, you would tell us.

I asked ChatGPT to help be breakdown this matchup. Below are some of the things that I thought I'd share. The strength of their team appears to be their guards and they do a decent job of protecting the basketball, which could prevent some of those run outs that we all love to see. Given they play a lot of zone it's no surprise to see they are a below average rebounding team. I think this is a game that Evan or Lyles can feast by cleaning up on offensive boards and getting some putbacks. Tulane Green Wave Tulane plays at a more modest offensive clip (~ 76.0 PPG), but they shoot efficiently (~46.1% from the field) which suggests they look to get quality looks rather than volume. FOX Sports+1 Their tempo and style seem more controlled, which can contrast sharply with Akron’s fast-paced, high-octane offense. On the roster, they boast a top backcourt — guards who can shoot from deep and create offense off the bounce. Key Players & Matchup Difference-Makers Rowan Brumbaugh — The preseason 1st-team All-Conference guard is a difference-maker. He’s putting up nearly 20 PPG, hitting threes at a high rate (≈ 42%), and adding steals on defense. Tulane University Athletics+2FOX Sports+2 Curtis Williams Jr. — Provides a strong second scoring option; his inside/outside ability and rebounding help balance the attack. Recently posted 17 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 steals in a tight win. CBS Sports+1 Tulane’s guard-driven backcourt and ability to hit shots from distance — if their shooters are hot, they can slow down Akron’s transition game and make the Zips pay. What the Matchup Looks Like — Key Questions Can Tulane slow down Akron’s pace? Akron thrives running and pushing transition; if Tulane can control tempo, get stops, and force Akron into half-court sets, they have a shot. Who wins the guard battle? The clash between Akron’s scorers (Johnson / Lyles) and Tulane’s backcourt (Brumbaugh / Williams) might decide the game — whoever gets hot probably swings the outcome. Three-point shooting & ball movement — which team executes better? Akron lives on threes and assists; Tulane needs disciplined defense and clean looks to stay in it. Depth vs. top-end talent: Akron has depth and balanced attack; Tulane has top-tier guards. Can Tulane’s stars overcome Akron’s overall team balance?

He's been traveling with Minnesota for the last week or so but hasn't been active on gamedays. I am hoping he will either start being active or get sent back to Iowa so he can play.

Can anyone give me an update on Freeman. I went to watch him on espn for the Iowa Wolves and he was not playing. When I look at the roster for the Timberwolves for todays game he is not listed on their roster. Anyone have an update?

Thanks Buffalo. This saying has been given to the soccer program by founder and long time coach Stu Parry. It is uniquely Akron and it is why we have ben so successful because it embodies an attitude, "Always First Class." Go Zips! Beat the Billikens. On to the College Cup!

Toujours de premiere classe!

Home and away. They come here next year.

Does anyone know if this is a 1 for 1 is Tulane coming to Jar next season?

I never was arguing that the AAC isn't better than the MAC. So yes, while a program like Tulane might now be able to win a few more games in conference, the reward for doing so isn't as significant. The conference is now about on par with the MVC IMO, which is a massive step down from what it was before. Remember Wichita State left the MVC for the AAC because at the time they viewed it as a significant step up, which at the time it was. I feel you're underestimating the impact of them getting raided by the Big 12. Programs like Cincy and Houston provided the tide that raised all the boats. The WCC will also regress considerably for similar reasons when Gonzaga leaves for the new PAC-12

St. Louis men's soccer page...is previewing the big matchup.... it is cool that there are 3 watch parties that Billiken fans can attend. St. Louis and Furman are currently tied for having the longest current unbeaten streaks. Amazing that St. Louis won 10 national titles between 1959 and 1973. https://slubillikens.com/news/2025/12/4/mens-soccer-msoc-preview-billikens-zips-clash-for-college-cup-berth.aspx SERIES HISTORY -- SLU leads 8-5-1 in a series that dates back to 1960, though Akron is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings. -- The squads met earlier this year in Akron, with the Zips coming away with a 3-0 victory. Akron opened the scoring with a goal on a penalty kick at the 33:11 mark. The Zips tacked on two more in the second half, scoring in the 62nd and 67th minute for the 3-0 final. -- The last SLU win in the series came on Aug. 29, 2003, a 1-0 victory on a neutral field in Charlottesville, Va. -- The Billikens' last win against the Zips in Akron was in 1989, 1-0 on a game-winner by John Johnson.

They still have 2 teams in the top 100 for NET, neither of which are any of Memphis, FAU, or Wichita St (Wichita St is 102). Completely agree they have not been a 3-4 bid league for a while, but their pathway to 2+ bids is much clearer than the MAC's or any other true mid major conference. I would easily rather player an in-conference schedule of AAC schools compared to MAC schools. Wichita St. is a solid CBB brand thanks to Gregg Marshall. Memphis is one of the top non P4 CBB brands thanks to Calipari and now Penny Hardaway. FAU is just 2 years removed from a trip to the Final Four. Their lowest rated team is 300 in NET right now. The MAC has 3 teams with 300+ NET and a 4th knocking on the door. Time will tell if the AAC continues to be a significant step up from the MAC as a whole, but as of today, it still remains true.

I agree this is a conversation for another place, but I will add I think this is also the new American. Wichita State was only relevant under Gregg Marshall and he was forced out two coaches ago because of scandal. Before him you have to go back to the 1980s to find the last time they were really relevant and before that the 1960s. Every 20 or so years they seem to have a decent stretch. Memphis could be better, but even then they would still most likely be a 1 bid conference. Their pathway to two bids is 1 team having a terrific season then that team losing in the conference tourney. The days of the American getting 3 or 4 bids are long gone.
