Nice story on Miami, but doesn't give enough Akron credit (steel sharpens Steele 😉), doesn't even mention the very close loss in Oxford and talks about the last team before Buffalo getting and votes in the AP ranking being Kent in 02. While correct, the 12-13 Zips team was ranked briefly in the coaches poll. Too much glorification for a team ranked 339 out of 365 in strength of schedule.

It was released on March 5th in 2025. I would expect something similar this year.

You would think they would do everything possible to try to include him? Maybe he wants nothing to do with the school? Maybe somebody pissed him off? If I were JoeMo I’d be begging him to have some presence with the football team. He’s an NFL hall of famer!

I don't know how many people caught it, but after the WMU game they interviewed Bowen on the radio. He brought up the possibility of getting some kind of waiver for an extra year of eligibility and Joe goes "Hopefully at Akron" and Bowen responded "Absolutely, I love it here these guys are the first ones to ever give me a chance at regular playing time"

The watch party for the Arizona game was terrible, they have grown accustomed to the place being half empty or less since covid probably. Our group got sat at a table with a view of only 1 TV and it wasn't even on. They are severely understaffed and so many items on the menu are sold out, the waitress even said "yeah we always are out of a bunch of things on the menu". I hate to be so critical of a downtown business, I think downtown Akron needs places like this, but in its current state it isn't helping. I'd say it would be better off having this at lockview and they have a capacity of maybe 100. And also, any college cup match or march madness game should have a watch party in the JAR. The ones in 2018 were awesome and I wish they'd do it again. That's my rant for the day, looking forward to the game on Friday

That Kent-Miami game was ELECTRIC. Great crowd. Miami traveled very well. It definitely looked every bit of a sell out. Kent struggled in the paint which I wasn’t expecting. By the end of the game Miami was crashing every possession and nobody could stop it. That was some peak mid major basketball. My ears are ringing.

Congratulations to Beto… …“Gui and Beto played important roles in our success last season, and we’re excited to reward them with new contracts. We expect them to remain key pieces within the group for years to come,” Sporting Director Dan Visser said. Ydrach, 24, famously netted the clinching penalty kick in the Hounds’ shootout win over FC Tulsa to secure the league title, and he also headed the game-winning goal in the team’s U.S. Open Cup victory over New York City FC in the Round of 32 last year. A Puerto Rico international with 17 appearances for his national team, Ydrach started 27 of the Hounds’ 29 regular-season matches as a rookie out of the University of Akron. …
