Akron with one vote in this week's AP poll.

Buffalo's Student Athletes of the Week are sponsored by Tim Horton's. Just more proof that it is in fact a Canadian school, eh.

Staggering, eh? P.S. Every post in a Buffalo-related thread should end in ", eh?" So let it be written, so let it be done, eh?

LeBron James arrives in the “Akron” Nike LeBron 7

In other news the sky is blue and grass is green... It would have been criminal had he not gotten it this week. He averaged 27.5 points and 4 assists while shooting 70% from the field and 78.6% from 3.

@ClarkGriswold. I sense something is worrying you and that you are keeping a calculator ready at hand?

+1. A ton of DB’s. We gonna run a 1-1-9?

Apparently didn't start till his senior year. Maybe should have started as a junior, but the senior in front of him was entrenched, plus ended up setting a bunch of area passing records. Janikowski is the coaches kid & apparently grew quite a bit between his junior & senior years. Just piecing together info from various articles online. Ryan Janikowski article Vero Beach coach Lenny Jankowski: “Ryan’s made steady progress. I think what’s unique in his situation is that he doesn’t have a ton of game film. He’s a different creature. His body went through a transformation and he’s different looking than he was in the fall. The ball is jumping out of his hand better and he did well for himself this spring.”

According to Ole Kenpom the Zips are rated above Daniel Utomi's mighty USC Trojans.

In the first 4 MAC games, the Zips gave up an average of 58 points per game. In the last three, that's ballooned to 81 ppg. On offense, in the first 4 they averaged 75 ppg while in the last three they've averaged 86.

I'd like to see that when they get up big they don't have those slides, but rather keep stepping on the necks of their opponents to the point where the game is over earlier. Then they could get those bench kids some much needed court experience and give them the base to become more valuable contributors down the line. Giving up double digit leads does not promote this.
