    Speaking as someone whose been a student within the past decade, trust me they do take breaks from schoolwork and go out and have fun. Back 20-30 years ago from the way you word it sounds like that was going to a basketball game. Today that's not the case. Balsy and I have tried numerous times explaining why students don't go to games anymore, or at least in the numbers they once supposedly. But it always results in someone who went to school 30 years ago going on about how back in his day he'd would walk uphill 10 miles both ways in 3 feet of snow to attend games. Times have changed. Going to live sporting events isn't as popular as it once was. Attendance numbers are down a crossed the board for pretty much all sporting events boys at the college and pro level.

    You mean the TV deal that the MAC negotiated with ESPN? I'd definitely say the MAC has some say, but they choose to not negotiate any stipulations or restrictions. You'd certainly know more than I if Dambrot and the players prefer to play on a Friday in front of a national TV audience or on a Saturday in a more filled JAR. As a fan I don't like it and clearly I'm not the only one.

    I agree the current set up of the JAR makes it terrible to create a good student vibe. The 20 most hardcore fans are on the floor and all the regular/casual students are a mile away above the basketball hoop.

    I don't think anyone is trying to screw us over intentionally, but I do think we are being screwed. There are 12 MAC schools and 9 weeks in the MAC basketball season with most weeks having only 1 Friday game. The MAC could easily schedule in a way that makes sure no MAC team loses more than 2 home Saturday games.

    I get why our games get picked up. I was referring to how other MAC schools are able to have their cake and eat it to by getting national TV games on Saturdays (Ohio last Saturday and Toledo this Saturday), meanwhile, all of ours had to get flexed to Friday.
  6. kreed5120
    I can live with a game here or there getting flexed, but I'm wanting to say we've had 5 home conference games altered. Three Saturday games moved to Friday and 2 Tuesday games played before the normal 7PM time slot. I wish there was some sort of cap. I see other MAC schools are able to get home Saturday games on national TV. Why do we get the short end of the stick?

    I'd only not redshirt Suggs if the coaching staff feels he's a clear upgrade over Edwards/Morgan. Personally I say he gets redshirted unless he wows and becomes Zips #2 back out of camp.

    If you sit him against Penn State, that is no guarantee he won't just turn around and get injured against APB or Iowa State. In fact, he probably has a higher chance of getting injured against those 2 opponents opposed to Penn State as he will likely get more touches in those games therefore be hit more.

    Figured I'd pass it along in case any of you season ticket holders missed the email.

    I'm with you. I just hope my heart can withstand the full season the way every game seems to come down to the wire.

    Yeah, I wasn't including them in my statement. The jury is still out on them.
  12. kreed5120
    It's not saying much, but out of the many Browns GMs that they have had since '99, he was probably the best.

    He got the 6th year. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2017-18/releases/20170208dvklby

    I don't think Kwan and don't take many 3's belong in the same sentence. He leads the team in attempts.

    As 1981 grad indicated it was designed to go to Big Dog. Big Dog said he didn't set up any closer to the basket because he felt him leaving his normal spot on the court during inbounds plays would let Ball St know the ball was going to him.
  16. kreed5120
    Personally, I feel MAC POY should go to the MAC's best player, which I feel Big Dog is. However, if the season ended today, I believe based on past voting behavior that the voters would choose Keene. Still games to be played so things can change.

    It's why we need to get Hughes back in formand playing at a high level. If we can get Big Dog's minutes down to ~27 a game come Cleveland instead of 32-34, that should help. What would really be nice is if we went off 1 of those games and was able to rest Big Dog the second. We haven't done that all MAC season so that might be a bit optimistic.

    I posted a video of Big Dog's shot. That's all I found. Ball State threw the ball out of bounds trying to do a full court pass. That's how Akron got it back.

    Cbssports.com currently lists us at 9-2 and Ball St. at 7-4. I imagine it will be updated at some point. http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/standings/

    Here's the game winner in case anyone hasn't seen it or you just want to see it again. https://mobile.twitter.com/LiveOnASN/status/829138837448310785/video/1

    I left after the Big Dog shot thinking it was a buzzer beater. Didn't find out until I was at my car that they added time back.
  23. kreed5120
    Time to go on a run to put this out of reach.
  24. kreed5120
    Defensive effort has done much better. Now we just need our shots to start falling.

    An over the back 90 feet away from the hoop that results in free throws at the other end is a bad foul. He has 29 fouls on the season in 121 minutes of play with a large chunk of them being away from the basket. That's a foul roughly every 4 minutes. Hughes struggled with fouling early on, but he hasn't committed more than 2 fouls in any game since Air Force. In fact the last game he committed 2 fouls going into the Ohio game was when the Zips played Coppin State.
