Article on today's PCCC game.....errrrrrr......Malone scimmage- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/2020/12/18/akron-zips-malone-pioneers-mens-college-basketball-exhibition/3965904001/ Really looking forward to cozying up to the damn radio like it's 1937.

Just heard them say Ball States’s coach won one conference game his first 2 seasons.

The Zips head to the Portage County Agricultural Demonstration and Animal Husbandry Center Saturday to face the 3-1 Flushes. The Flushes have bested Northern Kentucky, Purdue Fort Wayne and Detroit Mercy while falling in OT to Virginia. Portland State transfer Michael Nuga leads Mr. PInky's squad at 17.8 ppg with 7th year senior Danny Pippen at 17.1 ppg and 7.3 rpg. Temple transfer Justyn Hamilton leads the team at 9.5 rpg while scoring 13 ppg. PCCC with the new talent and four solid games under their belt will be quite a challenge for the Zips. An empty PCADAHC will certainly be an odd setting for such a high intensity rivalry game.

Yet the coaches say Trimble could be one of the best Zips shooter ever. Quite perplexing. He hit a bomb late. Hopefully, that shakes something loose and he starts to come around. I sure wish we could get some info on Currie.

this is becoming the OU message board. Next we will be posting glowing profiles about PCCC players.

Last year, Akronzips71 hoped Freeman could become a contributor. I thought he'd be company for Scott Walter. Looks like I was dead wrong and that AkronZips71's hope is coming true. 20 points and 18 boards so far. Cam Reece needs to come around. I sure hope the big man on the way in can play as they need the help down low.

Not hating the new play by play guy. Can you imagine Frenchy's tone today?

I've found the advantage of the game being only on radio. This way, I only hear it.

Glad we’re not playing Kent today. Good grief ?

We had some back up scorers last year. No one to step up

I think it's on following the President's fireside chat address to the nation.

Very good article, thanks

Interesting article here on the explosion of transfer portal this year and the impact of the new/COVID rules. https://sports.yahoo.com/could-hundreds-of-college-football-players-be-left-stranded-by-ncaa-apathy-014322627.html

In two years, Akron will be the Ball State of the 2020 MAC.

I think the basketball team has herd immunity at this point

Buffalo down by 14. Never behind all season. Kicked only their 2nd field goal which they missed. Enjoying this.

It's all so clear now....

@ Blue & Gold Today the Dayton Daily News (the quality of whose sports section rivals that of the ABJ) changed their tune; yesterday they said Morgan signed with Akron, today they say he was scheduled to sign with Akron on Wednesday. So I'm not sure whether an asterisk in front of his name is appropriate or not.

I always travel to Kent and buy my seat early online and one year I found a second row seat center court. I am wearing my Akron stuff and as I am going to my seat a Kent fan yelled at me that I could not sit there. I waved my internet ticket and yelled back yes I can. I sat down and did not think much of it until 2 minutes later a young usher came to me and told me he was sorry but he had to check my ticket. I showed it to him and then he apologized and said they have some crazy fans. I remember when Kent came to Akron I was looking for the guy so I could demand to see his ticket. Unfortunately, never saw him again.

Keep an eye out on this guy. Director of Recruiting liked this tweet and we have about 5 Zips coaches already following him, and from what I can tell we didn't recruit him out of HS. Have not noticed this type of activity from the staff on other transfer portal recruits in the past.

That kid is a player. Against Hoban he looked like the one kid on the SVSM team that looked like he could play for Hoban. Romeo Travis is his uncle so there's certainly a nice UA history with the family. He's also a top notch sprinter and a starter on SVSM's basketball team.

Here's one we didn't already know about.
