I’m in Columbus for work later today and planning to make the quick hour-and-15 drive southeast. First game at OU, catch me behind the UA bench

why do you find it necessary to bring politics into a discussion of Enrique Freeman?

It's a wonderful read. Shoutout to the announcers tonight. Miami OH fans watching the game had to be pissed hearing them essentially say Akron is still the class of the MAC despite the Sweaters being undefeated. Cleveland will be fun.

This just makes me want all Ohio MTE. There's 13 D1 teams in Ohio. I'm 99% sure Ohio State would chicken out, so you'd have a nice 12 team bracket. Dayton would probably be heavy favorites most years but the storylines would be extremely fun. Give us a great chance at big wins against Dayton, Cinci, and Xavier while also beating up the horizon. Put it in the Columbus area for fairness and I'd spend the weekend there for it.

Maybe they could play a game in March after they both lose in the MAC Tournament 😉

The difference between us and Miami is we played Murray State, Yale, and Purdue and they played Mercyhurst, Eastern Kentucky, and Air Force, and had our only H2H at Miami. Fully confident we would beat them at the JAR and will beat them in Cleveland.

Dunk of the year by Eric.

The spring roster is out, and according to it we’ve got several guys back that I assumed were out of eligibility — Lyons and Archer on the OL, plus David, Jarmon, and AL. Branch in the secondary. If that’s accurate, that would leave us with approximately seven scholarships still open. Based on how the roster looks right now, 5–6 of those should be allocated to the DL.

I was planning on bringing a group of 12 but had to do the 'adult' thing & cancel the outing. But still planning on bringing the same group to the KSUcks game!!! 🤞🙏🤞🙏

I think this might be our most complete game yet. The fact that we dominated a full 40 minutes in a true road game in Athens is awesome to watch.

Zips get the national game in the MAC- Sunbelt challenge!

If they kept it open for the 16 people sipping on Bud Lights and didn't pull out the bleachers for the 800 tickets they could have sold, I think I'd return my diploma.

I think Nick being here could help Oggie's adjustment to Akron and the American system. It also gives the program an in in Nick's area of the world.

The bigger question is will the NCAA allow Whaley to play with an oxygen tank? He's going to need constant oxygen dragging his fat rear end up and down the court all night. Gillespie got in foul trouble the other night vs Miami. Fully expect that to happen again with our athleticism.

It's going to be interesting to see how Groce plans to handle the defense when Gillespie and 6'7" 290 pound Whaley are on the floor together.

Spaghetti Warehouse is garbage, even though it's one of the coolest places inside.

What better way to learn to be a coach then be a graduate assistant for Groce. Nick was a character when he played at Akron. We were in a close game and Nick was having a difficult time shooting the 3 ball and had missed his last 5-10 shots. At a critical juncture in the game he started lining up a three ball and everyone in the crowd starting yelling "NO" Nick smiled at the crowd while passing the ball. He was a good player while at Akron and glad to see him coming back.

Everyone was right about George Thomas. He wrote an article about Miami for the ABJ..🤨

Reghi definitely in mid-season form. First Akron plays great defense and he says its Toledo, then calls Tavari "mercurial" - subject to sudden or unpredictable changes of mood or mind. Yeah you nailed it.

Shammah Scott is so smooth offensively - even when he misses.

Landed at Alabama. Coach JRod identifies under recruited high school talent as well as anyone in G5. Portal additions have been hit or miss, but he’s been excellent with the prep scene.

After watching even more special teams gaffes from the Rams in the playoffs, I don't think this was all Chase's fault.

Much like everything else in Minnesota, the Timberwolves are frauds. Somebody needs to save Enrique and get him out of that organization.

ABJ coverage Lyles compiled his fifth double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore Sharron Young added 11 points for the Zips. Lyles has scored in double figures in 15 consecutive games, becoming the first Akron player to do so since Enrique Freeman during the 2023-24 season.

Now that was funny as a final comment from the announcers. They saw Connor Groce with that big head of hair and wondered what happened with his dad. They surmised that it might have been like space jam where Connor was like a Monstar and stole all the the hair from his dad. 😂

Please...please...please...no let up tonight.

new tight end, Wyatt Hook, is on campus so both of the new guys are here. That should pretty much complete the offense. hopefully they get that chemistry rolling right away...

Enrique is active again in tonight's game that just started. Let's see if he gets any minutes!

I find this conversation ironic in that dring the KD days we would be having a conversation about Akron getting an at large bid and then we would lose a game against a weak team and the conversation would end. I am sure Miami will pick up a loss during the season and this conversation will end. However, I would love to see them go undeated and lose to Akron in the finals and have the MAC be a two bid confernce.

The problem is the longer they hang around the more dangerous they get. If a player sees a few easy ones go in it makes the challenging shots later in the game easier to hit as they're in rhythm and not second guessing themselves. Its best to jump on these teams early to assert dominance.

Yep they mentioned on the broadcast that he took an inadvertent "hand" from Evan Mahaffey last game. If he keeps shooting threes like that he should wear it the rest of the year.

In the shoot around pictures on Instagram halligan is wearing a face guard. Chabi is down to a wrap on his hand

We are Kowalchoke's regular season Super Bowl. The only numbers that matter for Toledo are 1 9 8 0.

It is amazing how poor our all-time (42-33 UT leads) and recent records are against Toledo despite our being the dominant program in the conference. It is equally amazing how UT has had good programs and dominated us through history yet has not appeared in the NCAA Tournament since 1980. Baffling! Just when I start feeling sorry for the UT fans in the context of basketball, I realize there is a football side of the coin, and the pity disappears quickly.

I'm coming from Franklin County where there is a level 3 snow advisory yesterday and today (no going out except for emergency). I hope the advisory is eased and NE Ohio is OK with its roads. Toledo is one team I love to hate. Right up there with OU, but not even close to the emotion Kent generates.

Finally got around to watching his film. I know his social media says offer, and maybe I’m wrong, but seems like another walk-on to me.

Really sucks this game ended up the same week as Kent. I’m sure a lot of people will choose Kent over this that don’t want to go to both. Roo blue night usually does pretty well and people know Toledo is usually good. We got hosed for home games this year by the conference scheduling

Something tells me they will spend it faster than they bring it in.

Tavari - 24 points in 29 minutes, without a three pointer (he only shot one), and was 10-13 from the floor. Wow. Thats what senior leadership looks like. Ohio might want to take note.

Umass wins at Buffalo. Now the bulls are out of the top 8. Just weird

Amani Lyles effort!!

Still a lot of basketball left. We need to quit with these ticky tack fouls to put them at the line. The Halligan foul was particularly a terrible time to foul.

That’s a half!

That ship long sailed. It's more G5 competing against other G5 for the honor of lossing by 3+ TDs in 1st round of CFP.

Do NOT trust @ClarkGriswold's friend Jeff Boals.

Really should be a win but just screams a trap game. Going to Athens has always felt a bit cursed to me
