Something tells me they will spend it faster than they bring it in.

I feel as long as we hold our own (not necessarily win) the rebounding battle we will win comfortably. If Kent out rebounds us by 10-15 then those extra possessions can keep them around.

I would say that if all of their MAC games are close and all of ours (other than the loss) are not, that kinda indicates it might not be that competitive. But rivalry games don't always follow the script!

We'll run them out of the gym

https://akronzippedup.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share Excellent reporting from Zipped Up which includes some crazy awful stats on the Rockets.

All of their MAC games have been decided by 10 or less. Next Friday is going to be fun.

Labor day weekend. Head towards your beach of choice after we get the W.

Even if the rich get richer, I think it's good for us in general because it is another potential revenue source. Any opportunity to push us from the red more towards the black is great.

The mighty Kent state offense has dropped 69 points through 2 halves and an OT

With 1:27 to play, Kent up 58-56 over Eastern.

ABJ coverage Lyles compiled his fifth double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore Sharron Young added 11 points for the Zips. Lyles has scored in double figures in 15 consecutive games, becoming the first Akron player to do so since Enrique Freeman during the 2023-24 season.

Somehow that escaped the conversation.

They discussed why Akron is 59 in Kenpom and Miami is 88?

CBS has a triple header today, with Wally Szczerbiak as a commentator. Guess what is a big topic of conversation.

Lady Redhawks trounce Ball State 72-53 in Muncie. Miami now 8-0 in MAC and in first place. First win in Muncie since 1998. Great win for third year coach and former Zips assistant Glenn Box.

I lost my pepper long ago. 😂

Actually, i have a beautiful salt and pepper head of hair. But thanks for caring.

If Balls can get going, they're going to make that 7/8 seed race very messy. The MAC is very much improved this year, but the separation between the top 3-4 and the rest of the conference is as vast as it has been since the Oats Buffalo days.

I'm more concerned with his mom!

But what are they gonna do with the other 1,000 shirts? 😆

I've never met you but it sounds like youre bald. 😉

Frank Martin is what a school gets when they either have no imagination or nobody else wants the job. He had two really good years at SC then the wheels fell off the bus. His time at Kansas State was average. His time at UMass is bad. They should fire him.

It definitely sounds like Boals is more on the hot seat than TK. Multiple threads asking for him to be canned. The UT board not so much. I've heard every excuse from injuries to how its unfair since Akron/Kent is 30 minutes away (even though Toledo to Cleveland <2hrs, easily drivable) to how Cleveland is all luck. They all seem like apologists who are content with the regular season and attendance banners. Edit: Frank Martin IMO should also be canned. His program is spending more than double all other MAC school (excluding Akron) but he's still coaching a bottom half MAC team. If I was the boosters paying his hefty salary and giving him something in the neighborhood of $2 million NIL I would be irate with his performance. He's still surviving on 1 single NCAA Tourney run that occurred ~10 years ago.
