X is 2-7 from the floor for 5 points, 2 boards, 3 assists, 1 TO, and a team high +13 in 13 minutes.

It's interesting how mistakenly we remember things. I was thinking of the Zips victory against them and thought NW probably had a bad season. In fact, they went 8-5 that year, won the Big Ten West and played in the conference championship. In fact, Akron beat a really good team.

X getting some 1st quarter minutes in game 3.

I'm in Akron for a day/night for business today. Walked campus and went to the bookstore. Campus looks good. I like the new logo on the merchandise I bought at the bookstore.

Yes, the A in the oval.

I think the reason I like the current uniforms so much is that they really remind me of these throwbacks. The look fits so well with the new logo, the only thing missing now is maybe some stripes on the helmet. The team probably wouldn't spring for a whole new uniform set for one game a season. But I think that you're on to something. Maybe every Wagon Wheel matchup they make sure to go gold helmet, blue or white jersey and gold pants. The more traditional combos. Just like the Browns always go brown over orange or white over orange against Pittsburgh.

When I heard that firing Patty F was picking up steam, I grabbed them on Bet365 for Under 3.5 Wins, which was +100. Last I checked, Northwestern O/U win total has been pulled from both Bet365 & FanDuel. The bet is still valid. Awful situation. They were a 1 win team that had an atrocious transfer portal class.

Got a good chuckle out of this one.

This was tweeted last fall by the AD. Unless something has changed, I would think we’d see these beauties out there sometime this fall

I also did not see an announcement that Christy Mitchell was not retained or fired or resigned. So this post on GoZips.com was a slight surprise only in that I expected that there would be an announcement that the position was open. Coach Mitchell was someone who I wanted to succeed. That was not in her wheelhouse. The womens LAX program was consistently below mediocre, even when they had time to get the program winning. A change was necessary and I'm glad Charles moved forward with it. I wish the new coach all the best. I like Charles expectations that all sports be consistently in the top 3-4 of the MAC.
