  1. Has anyone heard the little known story of a guy that came to UA on an academic scholarship and then just happened to try out for the basketball team? Haven't heard it told in a little while
  2. I believe he can do that, they have done Guardians jersey customization for me in the past as well. They can do cadcut stuff in custom shapes and stuff so I believe so, although I don't know if they are partnered with UA
  3. Video starts out as ragebait but near the end it actually seems like they had a good time
  4. The best Zips gear selection I ever saw was at the Salvation Army store on Brittain Rd last year, they had tons of brand new stuff donated from the bookstore. Not sure if they are gonna have more this year though
  5. Akron Felt is no more, the old owner didn't pay taxes for multiple years. One of the former employees started his own business doing the same thing. https://www.simos.cc/ He has totally rebuilt the business but is doing a great job, we use him to do all the repairs on the RubberDucks uniforms, highly recommend
  6. Win the paradise Jam first then worry about March
  7. Notre Dame wins. Michigan played a horrible game, own goal and missed 2 open net tap ins. Notre Dame doesn't scare me, although they did park the bus successfully almost the whole second half
  8. I can't imagine what the response would be if we fired Moorhead after having the most wins in 8 years. If he takes another job so be it, but firing a coach because we didn't go .500 hasn't fared too well in the history of Infocision Stadium. I totally understand the thought of we can find a new coach that fires up the team and we go to the top of the MAC out of nowhere, but I think that is pretty risky to go all in on considering we have made progress the last 2 seasons. We lost almost all our skill players last year, and this year we developed a great group of them. I have a hard time believing we just stumbled on to players like Williams, Gant, Polk (2 year track) because no one wanted them. Most of them will leave again this year even if we don't fire the coach. But I trust this current regime to develop players, which is very important with the current state of college football. You are only living a year at a time so you need someone to be quick to mold a team together. I am sure other coaches can do that, but is there going to be someone like that available this offseason and are they going to want to come to Akron? I wouldn't call The University of Akron athletic department a big risk taker. If that was the case then I would imagine we would have a different soccer coach after not living up to UA standards from 2019-2021
  9. I'm glad they actually changed the camera from looking at the hosts talking about nothing on to the real entertainment
  10. Prepare for the 3 worst plays you’ve ever seen
  11. Ref made zero attempt to get out of the way of that 😂
  12. I feel bad you had to sit through that On the bright side you got to see KJ Walton's final ever basketball game before disappearing off the face of the earth
  13. I haven't gotten to the games super early but by the time I sit in my seat there are no students over there in that area and then they close the curtain 10 minutes before tip. If it was me I would just let anyone go back there during game time, could be good for families with little kids. Maybe I'll show up earlier and see how full it gets
  14. That was one of those classic wait inside the Union at halftime kind of games
  15. Given the time in the school schedule, time of day, and weather forecast. There is no reason for there not to be a big student crowd. Students shouldn’t be going home this weekend with Thanksgiving break at the back end of the week. A team ranked #14 you think should be exciting enough for some rowdies to show up. Hopefully they do
  16. We are the 14th seed which is actually the highest seed Akron has been in 8 years. Only been seeded once in that time it was 2022 against Pitt as the 16 seed. Which was a total embarrassment of a match if you recall
  17. Georgia Southern, Gardner Webb, San Francisco, Rutgers, VCU out Notre Dame, St Johns, Kentucky, Grand Canyon, Syracuse, Washington in Little bit of P4 bias
  18. Wow St. Johns makes the tournament as 42 in RPI
  19. wow they didn't post it as a video so you can skip ahead this time
  20. As of monday morning RPI has Akron at #13, Uconn at #15. That'll be interesting to see if we get seeded higher than Uconn
  21. We can never seem to get over the hump at these tournaments. After our first 4 performances I think it is well within reach we can go 3-0 this weekend, just gotta come out ready to play like its a home game
  22. Watching the game I thought Bowen played really well. It seemed like when he took shots they were timely and they went in. After looking at the stats he only went 2/4, but when we play games like this if he can make those looks at a consistent rate it is exactly what we need. Also I love watching Marvin play, obviously being matched up on a guy almost a foot taller than him rebounding and affecting shots is gonna be an issue. But what I like most about him is that he is just a pest on defense, recorded 2 steals in 13 minutes. If I were to make a comparison to someone, I would honestly compare MMK to Remi Agunbiade of the soccer team, just a super high work rate trying to help their team in more ways than just the obvious
  23. I just find it weird he comes off the bench before brisco and before Stankovic in the second half
