This is what I expect the game to be like.

Got my autographs! It was a pretty nice setup. Players were super nice and happy to talk to us. Great for the kids that were excited to be there

These Miami Hamilton kids are disciplined and well coached. They're not losing due to a lack of effort.

The coach Wart connection beats out WKU, Ball St, and umASS for Kapongo.

The 5-7 Gardner Webb Bulldogs come to the JAR Thursday to face the Zips. Caleb Robinson, a 6'4" senior guard, leads the Bulldogs in both scoring (14.3 ppg) and rebounding (6.4). 5'11" junior guard Julian Saolmauro is their second leading scorer at 13.9 ppg. The Bulldogs compete in the Big South Conference where they were predicted to finish 4th in the preseason poll, behind UNC Asheville, Radford and Winthrop. Guard DQ Nicholas, a 6'1" senior guard was named to the Big South Preseason first team and is averaging 10.6 ppg. The Bulldogs five wins have come over Erskine, Weber State, Limestone (there's one for Captain's list), Western Carolina and North Greenville.

A Few Guthrie Quotes within

Played hard, especially on defense. Shot looked a little flat but decent. I don't think we're going to see much of him from here on out as he's clearly the the 11th man on a team that has pretty much gone to an 8-man rotation.

Prather in with 6 minutes left.

An hour and a half to the game. I should probably leave now so that I can be sure to get a seat.

It’s finally here gameday vs Miami-Hamilton! Can you believe it? It feels like Christmas morning

Nice to see Tavari out there. Groce seems to be taking time with him too as they come off of the floor.

Tavari in

That is Texas Roadhouse. They bring him to all kinds of events where they have a sponsorship

We have some serious size coming into the WR room.

Fast and furious today.

Looks like had one year at Miss St, committed to Ole Miss, but ended up at JUCO this past season.

And another!

Early take away from yesterday. The quality of players in the MAC match up with other G5 conferences. If the MAC had adult leadership, they could eliminate the appearance of sucking. Fans get into stupid arguments about what "the worst" conference is. Nobody really knows because there isn't a meaningful way of measuring it other than insignificant exhibitions like bowl games. The MAC is a quality conference. Akron needs to become a quality team in a quality conference.

Browns game....44 degrees at tipoff....steady rain....students on break....$10 to park....Miami Hamilton.... The Clark bookmaker has set the under/over on actual butts in the seats, exclusive of the team and staff, at 167.

OU also had their top 2 QBs unavailable, I believe top 2 RBs and one of their top 2 WRs, and Keye Thompson while Ga Southern had everyone. Good win for them IMO. Navarro basically had zero stats this year before today's game, same as their RB.

Less than 24 hours to this huge matchup! Excitement is building (for Evan Wilson and Zach Halligan).

I’ve posted a couple times of my disappointment about not signing Jonas Nichols, but I just wanted to say that Eric has a smooth stroke and is more athletic than Jonas.
