Southerns #40 reminds me of some random annoying Western Michigan player

Omg. That's why they were so familiar. Playing UNC Charlotte and Cornbread Maxwell in Final Four (I think) Wasn't it Al McGuire??

Southern has some snazzy uniforms/pajama bottoms.

Akron denizens have a choice today: Zips basketball or the Sugar Plum Tour. Tough call.

So excited.

Nor is mine.?

Until your face is a victim of the T Shirt cannon.

The lack of board comments during the game was likely because 1. There wasn't a good video feed and/or 2. We were all holding our breath to see if they could actually get a road win. This year Groce is coaching on Akron's dime. Illinois is no longer subsidizing him, so he needs to produce road wins and results. Ali has been starting all year but doesn't have the green light to shoot.

PCCC and BG is top 20? Marshall is in the 300s. https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/marshall_university/marshall-basketball-akron-zips-past-herd/article_dfbfe8a4-68ed-51ba-9533-741c12637d5f.html

What was that song from that Disney movie Frozen? Oh, I remember..."LET IT GO!"

I think that's only the 3rd road win under Groce, so this was huge. That's what I wanted to see...a good road win. Will give them some confidence when they hit the road in the MAC.

Akron up by 15. LCJ has 17. X has 15. Cheese only took one shot. He may have picked up his second foul early.

Looks like French at our house as well

My friend's son plays football at Miami (Ohio), and he says the Coach is bipolar. Yelling and screaming and can change on a whim. And they won the MAC East. Dambrot was known to be quite a yeller as well.

I think there were a # of those types lingering around on the men's BB program. Some guys Groce HAD to keep and others were expendable. Groce only had to manage 9 players as opposed to 85!! When a basketball player goes missing, it's front and center but when a 2nd string OL loses his scholarship or becomes academically ineligible or fails a drug test, 99% of us don't even notice. Arth had to lay down the law, and I'm sure "make example" of some. That's mostly speculation on my part, but I'm sure there were some harsh choices with harsh results.

I heard some of this as well. The first meeting with Arth the room stank of marijuana and many were shabbily dressed. He wouldn't have it. I know we can't compare sports but it reminded me of something Jodi Kest said after she took over the women's basketball program. She said something like...I'm not going to let some 19 year olds push me around and run this program. I said this was a "rip off the band aid" situation but it might have been more like an emergency open heart surgery. And I agree that the university's problem was that they kept bad coaches for too long.

They had to rip off the band-aid. SC game paid for Bowdens departure.

Right. Looking for the players who can get the Zips to 3-9 not 9-3.

Depends on the type of bird, no? Fall Semester 2019: Regular Monday, August 26 - Sunday, December 8 Final Exam Monday, December 9 - Sunday, December 15

So how do we know or determine that the 4 or 5 guys that "jumped on board" this weekend are any good or will fill the voids. For example, are these guys the needed size for these positions? Woodbendy Guerrier, DB, 6-0, 195 Eric Scott, DB, 6-2, 200 Nazir Sy, DL, 6-3, 306 George Qualls, WR, 6-2, 190

A little birdie told me we're going to be a little deeper/better come December 15. Not sure I would believe a random poster myself, but I heard what I heard. Go Zips! And LCJ liked the post...the plot thickens.

In my confuse head, I see this as must-win. Zips need these type of road wins that were illusive last two years. The last road win I remember was first round against WMU in 2018.

They were type of team that could cause a big scare in 1st round of NCAA. Hard game to watch but Zips never trailed and kept it over 10 vast majority of game. Xeriyius is a E-Sports Commentator?
