What a heads up play by Natson just now in the Browns game. Put his foot out of bounds before grabbing the ball on a kickoff, effectively marking the ball out of bounds. Akron education > PCCC

good find on Ashton Kamdem I know that FC Cincinnati academy is pretty new very nice to see the zips get a quality defender from that academy Zips nation sends out a warm welcome to Ashton Kamdem

I will put this here: I saw the first internet ad in which an Akron basketball player is using his likeness. Aziz is in an ad for the Summit County ADM board under caption "Are You Feeling Anxious." I'm not making fun of that. It's a worthwhile organization that helps a lot of people. And Aziz probably can use the $$.

Beacon/Ohio.com article on the game by someone other than GT- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2021/12/12/college-mens-basketball-akron-florida-a-m-bryan-trimble-xavier-castaneda-ali-ali-enrique-freeman/8875869002/

When u leave at least 15 points on the foul line, you have to work twice as hard to beat crappy teams.

Looks like we'll play the whole season with an 8 man rotation. I feel like this may hurt the squad late season.

I do not yet know Ashton Kamdem, but I have watched Levi Stephens play many times. Hard for me to believe that there are 80 ~18-year old players better than Stephens. ZipsNation welcomes Ashton and Levi!

Welcome Ashton Kamdem https://www.instagram.com/p/CXXpmblMlZw/?utm_medium=copy_link

I could see Akron attempting to get home and home series with any of the service academies. They may not be Power Five conference schools but those programs also carry some level of fan interest

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/5/transgender-swimmer-lia-thomas-smashes-womens-reco/ So while we argue about which logo is the best for our Zips, we made the news this past weekend with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas dominating 3 of the 4 events she entered, breaking meet and pool records by unbelievable numbers. The University of Akron is the neutral participant in this story, as being just the host of the Zippy Invitational. But it's rather ironic that at the basketball games there's an announcement that the school is celebrating Title IX and asking for donations of $900 for womens's sports when they probably will not exist as we know them in the next few years. Just a few highlights: 500 yard freestyle - Thomas (4:34) broke a meet record by 13 seconds and the pool record by 8.5 seconds, and beat 2nd place by 15 seconds Remember the names Rocky Laabs (Cincinnati) and Emma Moynihan (Miami), as their names will no longer be mentioned at Ocasek. 200 yard freestyle - Thomas (1:41.9) broke the meet record by 6 seconds and the meet record by 4 seconds, beating 2nd place by 7 seconds. Akron's own Sadie Fazekas had held the record for 5 years, and Camilla Lins de Melo from Miami's pool record will now just disappear. 1,650 yard freestyle - Thomas (15:59) broke the meet record by over 30 seconds and the pool record by over 20 seconds, and beat 2nd place by 38 seconds. Who cares about Buffalo's Hannah Miller's 6 year old record for the meet, or Toledo's Claire Lichty's 10 year record in the pool. They no longer exist. these are national class swimmers whose records are being erased. This is not criticism or judgement about the decision made by a young man to transition to a young woman. It's about the future of women's sports, IMHO. As a former collegiate swimmer, I know it's not about winning for most of us who competed, it's usually about how well we did against our personal bests. But even so, every time we enter the pool we believe if we just swim our best, we might still get a position on the podium. Now that's not even a remote possibility for most, in competition where Thomas is entered. I don't have an answer, I don't know what the answer is, but I do know, this is not fair.

I don't think I've seen a guy commit two lane violations while shooting foul shots in the same game, ever. Enrique Freeman wins that distinction

I thought Wynn might make his way in with Walton's departure but I guess not.

Let them back in the game.

I hear he is probably getting a medical year and plans on playing 2 more years

I double-checked Pornhub for you. After an extensive multi-hour search, I could not find a video in which Zach appeared.

I remember Indiana and also Virginia Tech once upon a time (Jason Taylor was all over the tenth ranked Hokies backfield in that game)

Toledo was up by 17, 41-24, at the half and just went toes-up at Richmond, 72-69. Spiders got hot hitting 3s to tie it up and then it was March-like the last 3 minutes.

Go Huskies! Personally, I love the Emerald City... Beautiful area. Thanks for DeAndre Yedlin and best wishes to him and Steve Zakuani.

👍 I would think your use of HIS isn't because you think JT is JC, but I'm not certain of that. Lol My point with my comment was that stating "No wonder he doesn't feel too embraced." doesn't seem to agree with JT holding his party at UA's Infocision Stadium. I, too, would have thought that UA would have done something to involve average Zips fans in the celebration of JT's HoF induction. After all, how many former Zips are in the Pro Football HoF just 15 miles or so south of The University of Akron? UA seems to have its "hand" out quite often looking for donations from us. Perhaps they could have sponsored some activities around JT's induction and sold tickets, items, etc. as a fundraiser. Maybe even asked JT if he would be open to raffling off some tickets for a lucky few to attend his celebration at Infocision. Further evidence of the shortcomings of previous leadership...actually, lack thereof.

This is a game I would really like to see the Zips win.

Womens swimming is a sport that stands to see the biggest effect from the policy of allowing transgenders to compete. The longer endurance events will have records obliterated under this scenario. I fail to understand how this all aligns with the goals of Title IX in promoting equality in collegiate sports.

I would prefer the Z logo and a "Chromed" helmet.

Levi committed to Akron on May 26, 2020. Very belated welcome to Levi. I really look forward to seeing you play in Fall 2022. Levi has trained with the Philadelphia Union academy and he has represented the USA in many international soccer contests.

This was Stefan announcing his soccer commitment to Akron. I believe that Stefan goes to Green High School. Welcome , Stefan.
