Do we know if they're opening the north baseline seats that have been replaced by the student pregame area all season? Would be nice to have all four sides filled.

No, I'm following along sadly.

At this point I’m certain I actually am just talking to myself but in case you missed it last night, yep, another 20 point loss in conference play… BG -80 Zips - 62

Had some prior connections, but going from WMU DC to the DC for the Chargers is quite a jump!

Edit: wrong thread

Been a while since we've looked at the conference NET as a whole. The Pretender Sweaters 51 Akron 52 BUGS 126 PCCC 139 Canada University at Buffalo 152 Toledo 162 UMass 187 EMU 207 Ohio 233 WMU 272 NIU 305 Balls 310 CMU 315 Conference Ranking per Warren Nolan: 15th

This just makes me want all Ohio MTE. There's 13 D1 teams in Ohio. I'm 99% sure Ohio State would chicken out, so you'd have a nice 12 team bracket. Dayton would probably be heavy favorites most years but the storylines would be extremely fun. Give us a great chance at big wins against Dayton, Cinci, and Xavier while also beating up the horizon. Put it in the Columbus area for fairness and I'd spend the weekend there for it.

That's a great idea

If you average their last MAC titles, you come up with 1974. Maybe they could call it the 1974 series.

Maybe they could play a game in March after they both lose in the MAC Tournament 😉

What in the mediocrity...

I think Nick being here could help Oggie's adjustment to Akron and the American system. It also gives the program an in in Nick's area of the world.

What better way to learn to be a coach then be a graduate assistant for Groce. Nick was a character when he played at Akron. We were in a close game and Nick was having a difficult time shooting the 3 ball and had missed his last 5-10 shots. At a critical juncture in the game he started lining up a three ball and everyone in the crowd starting yelling "NO" Nick smiled at the crowd while passing the ball. He was a good player while at Akron and glad to see him coming back.

Unpaid grad assistant so that UA still had to pay his full salary,

Didn't Bowden go to Clemson to be a GA after he got canned at Akron? He was around 60 at the time.

I’d guess 35-37 range.

boals also said Simmons was questionable. dont trust any of them

He was at the game last night.

Per yesterday's pregame show former Zip Nick Cventinovic is apparently going to be a Zips Grad Assistant? Isn't he like 34?

If he were to miss the game on Friday, it would be a real shame and also you would love to see it.

Everyone was right about George Thomas. He wrote an article about Miami for the ABJ..🤨

Whaley is hurt and did not play last night against OU. Questionable for Friday according to Coach Pinky.

I have been reading and posting on this board for more than a decade and this is the first time I can remember somebody posting that an Akron team is "more athletic" than Kent. On an unrelated note, I hope that they will bring back the cartoon where Zippy destroys all of the mascots for this game.
