http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2014-15/releases/20150416r9p6g4 How PATHETIC is it that the Zips Mens Soccer Sports Information Director has to dig up stories (links) as far back as Dec 11, 2014? If someone doesn't know by now that Saad was at the MLS Combine and drafted by Sporting KC, then that person isn't a Zips Mens Soccer fan or doesn't care. Where's the recruiting class announcement? I don't care if the recruiting class isn't completely finalized due to whatever issues still are in work, if any. Publish the information about those who are officially signed (NLIs). Then update it later like we used to get. Is Victor Souto's post-season suspension done or not? It was originally 2 NCAA Tourney games, as I understood it via the grapevine. (We never did get the information.) We only had 1 NCAA Tourney game last year. I think it may done, however, and it won't be carried into this season, but why can't the SID inform us. I don't think other schools are nearly as secretive about this stuff. I'm sure it's in the public domain, anyway; so, why not report it. I can't believe that we can't get better and timely information about the Zips' premier sports team! What a joke (but NOT FUNNY)!

K.e.n.t. took on Abe Elam for one season. He kept his nose clean at K.e.n.t. and NFL teams followed. Hopefully the same deal here.

Weird seeing trolling of the Browns from an Akron football fan.

We haven't talked about Zeke in the last few months. I have no inside information, but this is what I believe based on what I've been able to pick up from various sources. Coach Dambrot had said that Zeke would need about two years of seasoning before he might be ready for the NBA. Those two years are now over. While Zeke has done OK in several overseas stints plus the NBA D-League, he hasn't been dominant. Every undrafted player I know of who has made it to the NBA has become dominant in one of the lesser pro leagues. Zeke is now back in the U.S. after his latest pro stint in Lebanon. Back on Feb. 24 Zeke posted the following on his twitter: My unofficial interpretation is that this was the point where Zeke had reached the decision that he was not destined to play professional basketball, but that playing a couple of seasons of pro basketball had opened doors that would help him in the business opportunities that he was really more interested in all along. I may be wrong, but I don't think I am. I think that Zeke's future is in the business world rather than in professional basketball. I think he's finally proven to himself that he's a computer geek trapped in the body of an NBA center, and that his mind rules his body. Let's face it. If Zeke's primary interest was basketball he would have never ended up at UA. He would have gone to one of the college basketball factories and focused his life on making the NBA. Instead he came to UA and anchored some of the best Zips teams we've ever seen. I look back with great fondness on watching him perform at an ever higher level and in his senior season leading the Zips to the longest winning streak of any D-I team that season. I think it's likely that Zeke's professional basketball career may have reached its end. But I still look forward to seeing how he represents UA in the business world.

I think it's smarter for a head coach to judge the value to the team of each assistant coach on his own individual merits rather than stereotyping assistants who don't aspire to be head coaches as all somehow being inferior to assistants who do.

The #2 team in the MAC this year, actually the #1 team of the regular season, didn't deserve. At-large bids are given to teams, not conferences. The conference plays a factor in that it either provides enough competition to justify an at-large or it doesn't. The MAC is strong enough to justify another bid, but not for a team that finishes 12-6 in conference and only plays 1 non conference team with an RPI better than 274.

Sportsjunkie..........Only 7 out of 10 ?? You don't sound very convinced. And please explain why the day of the week has any part in the conversation, or would have any impact worth mentioning

1945. The Browns' uniforms began as copy-cat attire. Paul Brown went to a Bowling Green game and fell in love with the color scheme.

Comparing a throwback style from 1934 to a brand new style in 2015???? I do like the timely shoutout to SwagginU though.
