Ahhh...Willie Jackson. Something about a car?

OMG...did anyone else see the plate spinner was in Athens at halftime?

Who is going to Kitten Attack?

They still go on about him over there...

Thanks. Sorry. Only caught first half. Stand corrected.

Defense...game was in upper 80s

I wanted BG. Awesome smack down for the Bulls. Keep in mind Huger is in his 4th year. It takes time to get a program back on top. This is first win against Buffalo, and he lost 3 guys after last season.

Well, well, well. Stunning turn of events.

Pulled up Ohio.com on my phone and three Zips articles we're on the screen: football, swimming and basketball. I like it

No

https://www.ohio.com/sports/20190131/university-of-akron-basketball-scare-and-year-later-olojakpoke-makes-way-back-onto-court Long article. Maybe, just maybe the management at the Beacon is coming around to the Zips.

Right. But playing tonight and then going to Muncie on Saturday would also be a rough trek

Ali, Dawson, and Reece on board prior to the fisticuffs?

I guess quick guards and aggressive power forwards replace are better than unskilled center. So who is going to move on? Sayles or EMan?

So now what? Two open scholarships?

Ball State seems a tad high in the list. Would be a huge help if PCCC@Ravenna freezes up in Kalamazoo and Muncie tonight and Saturday.

Bummer

With the results from the games last night, if the Zips can win Saturday they would stay at least two games ahead of the bottomfeeders and get them closer to a first round home game.

Thanks. Don't care for either of them. Yes, Bob and I had a testy email exchange after he ripped the hiring of John Groce. He's a nasty piece of work that one. He doesn't have an original thought. People write him to complain about something and he calls a few people. Writes down some hearsay and they print it. Or he reads someone else's article, finds his next target, and lazily interprets what they wrote and makes it "opinion."

I agree. They, especially that nasty douchbag Bob Dyer, have no sense of bettering the community...only tearing it down. However, there is now local ownership which may change that perspective. One can hope.

Considering the polar vortex is hitting tonight, I'm relieved the Zips are at home and not slugging it out in DeKalb or Mount Pleasant. I'm taking the Huskies, Bulls, Rockets, and Eagles for the win tonight.

Pretty much. Would certainly get more "fans" to the game.

I expect the quality and looks of the University of Southern California dance team or U of Oregon cheerleaders. Nothing less. Dare to dream.

That's not a contribution. BTW one of the secretaries at my office was at the game. She said, "what's up with your center? He can't catch the ball." I explained that it's the passing. They are bounce passing the ball to him at his ankles. She was like....ohh..that makes sense.

Some good news: I was driving downtown yesterday and on the Beacon Tower they now have an electronic news feed...and one of the headlines they had up there was "Akron 67 Northern Illinois 65". Maybe the new owner gets it that Akron IS the local team...not PCCC or OSU.
