https://gozips.com/news/2023/12/5/bass-pulls-in-mac-womens-basketball-player-of-the-week-honors 4 weeks in a row, this is unheard of!

I've told this story on here before so I apologize to anyone who's heard it before. I'm one of those old guys that repeats stuff. One of my employees is very good friends with a college baseball coach. One of his players who overvalued his talent and thought he was underappreciated came to his office at the end of a season to tell the coach he was considering entering the portal. The coach told him he'd recruited him once and wasn't going to do it a second time and showed him to the door!

My bet must’ve moved it.

I wish we had a major outside threat.

Official news release from Akron soccer

Wow that website looks awful. We are spoiled when it comes to ZipsNation

How do you make a 6'7" man disappear? Put him at TE for Akron. Ba dum tst! I'm here all day folks. Try the veal!

I love the pics with the re-painted Wagon Wheel! 🦾

Zips are -1.5 with the under/over at 137.5.

Bump for updates. Still need to go through and update the ratings, but Rivals seems to be more on top of that this year.

Every single game notes this year has had this crazy fact “Akron has made at least one 3-pointer in its last 744 games when it was held without a 3-pointer against Purdue in the 2000-01 season.”

I've mentioned before I have a brother who is well connected to a couple of high profile college coaches. The coaches understand the graduate transfer more than you may realize. This is especially the case for a kid who started college early and after three to four spring practices and a degree, they are looking for something different. Think about when you were in college. Most of us were really itching to graduate and get on with something else. I think these players see the world the same way and a chance to go somewhere, pick up a Masters Degree and play couple more years of football seems like a good idea. The QB from OSU is an example. He has zero shot at the NFL and has graduated. What if he wants to go somewhere with nice weather, play some games and get a Masters Degree? It's probably a better idea for him than another freezing winter in Columbus doing the same routine as before. He's also looking at the guys he played with going to the NFL or portal and wonders why he would stick around with a bunch of young guys he has nothing in common with.

Thomas Buxton, 6-6, 335, OL, Stonehill College (he says it's D1)

Add Finn to the list.

I'm curious to see what adjustments were made over the week break. Will the rotations have changed? Will we see another starting lineup?

Geez. About a minute of content and 4 minutes of advertisement in that 5 minute clip.

6-1, 195 S from WVU

6'7" 235 JUCO TE

Sharp. I like that the court is an exact copy of the court in the JAR. Big program enhancement here.

It’s brutal out there. A lot of kids will be left with nothing.

I spy "AA" in with the starting group on a whiteboard

I also say he's way above our pay scale.

If you couldn't get on the field with what we saw at QB this year I can't consider you much of a loss to the program.

Too bad they didn't name themselves Utah Technical Institute.
