Lest we forget what the Flushes are all about. When they show you who they are, believe them.

From the last game, Santiago was in warm up gear and walking around. And Mr Pinky is desperate, like a cornered chihuahua, at this point. Expect a lot of hacking and dirty play. Hopefully, Enrique isn't punched in the ribs.

Ravenna Beauty College is -2 favorite. Go figure.

the kangaroo eyes are replacing the Z. Kent tomorrow. Western at home Tuesday. Then off to BG Thursday. Then Stan Heath and the Hurons next Saturday. Going to be a crazy week. Nice Zips get the weekend "off."

Zips need this won and the next 3 against the Michigan schools. Ugh...just saw BG was thrown in there.

Zips missed games away against Miami, BG, and home against NIU. Buffalo moved up to New Years Day, so both of those teams have empty schedule on 2/1. I can't figure out when Akron is going to make up these games. Unless COVID hits Miami, BG, or NIUs opponents on 2/1. thoughts?

Ali may have been coming off COVID. When I watched the replay, the lower bowl looked emptier than it did in person. But I would say significantly more people there last night than at the Ohio game. I shouldn't hate Whitford so much. Because of him, Zips keep beating them. Same with Pinky. I thought the flow of the first half eventually helped the Zips because Ball State, who was playing better, couldn't get any runs or rhythm even though they were benefiting from all the fouls and turnovers. As for some of the fouls, the only one that I thought was bad was the call on Dawson for his 4th foul. Aziz needs to know he will always get called for a foul when he goes over the back trying to rebound a free throw. And BSU, got some cheap away from the ball fouls near end of game.

Beat Toledo but lose to NIU and CMU. Go figure

Castaneda has a Darryl Roberts quality about him, although I don't think Darryl put up 29 points. McNees/Roberts was a killer combo.

Except for foot doctor school, students aren't back to Randolph until Monday.

We all noticed the same stuff. I think Ali was coming off protocol and maybe Aziz. Groce mentioned that u could look at stats and see who has been out. 4 headed monster in X, Dawson, Ali, and Trimble. Dawson is the perfect 6 man. I thought the crowd was pretty good tonight. Saw some of the new football staff and some big, brawny football players...maybe the transfers.

These refs. 3 cheap fouls. It's going to be a rough 4 minutes

Aziz giveth. And taketh away

God I hate Whitford

God I hate Whitford. I've never seen this whistle happy ref before.

Seems like the biggest crowd they've had. But geez...this game.

All these stops and starts are helping Akron I think. Slowing down the game.

On any given Tuesday...

Zips wake up and start hustling way too late.

Gross start. Cards got off 11 shots. Zips 5. Akron picking up fouls at a rapid clip. Groce subbing a lot. Another awful start. Ball State imposing their wlll

First time ever? More students than regular fans.

From what I can see, all starters accounted for.

From all of us old guys, we love seeing lots of students there. Makes is much more fun for us.

uh oh.

I was there. wow, look how crowded it was. total fail by Whitford and the Cardinals.
