He won!!! They showed the short subject before the basketball game yesterday. I knew it would win. Those paying attention were enthralled. Tearjerker...in a good way.

Akron's 1st 6 games of conference play is the best stretch of games any MAC team has played this season. We lost the Toledo game during that stretch, but Toledo kind of shot the ball out of their mind that game. We had some defensive lapses, but even the low percentage shots they were putting up were falling. Since then not only has our shooting regressed, which it was bound to, but I feel our defense has regressed quite considerably as well. I'm not sure if teams have learned how to attack our defense better or if we're just not giving the same level of effort on the defensive end that we were earlier in the season. We were 2nd in the MAC in defensive efficiency per kenpom a few weeks back. Now we're 5th. We need to get back to that hunger we had earlier in the season of wanting to have the MAC's #1 defense.

Article on one of my all-time favorite Zips. Cool to see him doing so well.

We need to have a UA commercial featuring Matthew Cherry and Yvette Nicole Brown.

Recruits need to be shown examples like this of where a free UA education can take them.

Captain is true to his word on this. The first time I ever saw him (had not met him yet) was at the game at UConn in 2007 where he was wearing a Matt Cherry jersey.

I didn’t realize the story had made all 3 major networks today ... ABC, NBC, and CBS. So happy for Matt and all those involved.

Congrats Matt. The Zips family is most proud of you.

Jones with the Pick

With the Academy Awards tonight, WEWS talked about this on Good Morning Cleveland this morning and News 5 at 5 pm tonight. Former University of Akron WR Matthew Cherry receives Oscar nomination for animated short 'Hair Love' WEWS Published February 9, 2020 Hope he wins tonight.

I'm surprised: lower level is pretty full. It looks like FOX interviewed Brice Jones on the way back to the locker room at halftime.

Sweet goal by Gio Reyna (future USMNT?) for Dortmund (~2:08 in the video).

Cleaned up his act?? I played with the guy and was friends with the guy, and I have no clue what that's supposed to mean.
