UConn and Providence tie - probably the best result for the Zips. Zips now tied with both of them for fourth place with 10 points.

Wonder who the other coach was that picked Miami.
Pinky - just out of spite. 😊

And Bassitt has an excellent inning of relief in the 8th in game 7 of the ALCS.

Moorhead said it turned out to not be anything serious. Just an “upper body” injury.
Excellent - it looked pretty scary. 👍

At the moment Akron would not be one of the four teams to make the Big East tournament, but they do control their ability to do so.
At the moment they sit tied for sixth place with St John's and Butler. St John's holds the tie breaker over the Zips but the Zips hold it over Butler.
Standings are as follows (although the East and Midwest division leaders will each get a slot regardless of point totals).
Georgetown 13
Creighton 10
UConn, Seton Hall, Providence 9
St John's, Zips, Butler 7
Villanova 6
Xavier 5
DePaul 1
Marquette 0
The "easy" way for the Zips to get in is win their last three. Then it won't matter what Creighton does in their other two games because the best they could do would be to tie the Zips and the Zips would hold the tiebreaker.
But barring passing Creighton, they need to sneak ahead of three of the four of Uconn, Seton Hall, Providence and St. John's. The good news is all of them play each other at least once and some twice, so we probably want to root for a lot of ties. 😂
And the Zips really need to take advantage of playing two of the three bottom teams before they get to Creighton. If they can pull off two wins and at least a tie against Creighton, I think they're in. Going to be an interesting last few weeks.

We gave up 42 points to a team that scored zero last week. Well he's not a defensive genius. 😊

Is there an unwritten rule that if the opponents offense gives you five yards on a false start you have to jump off side and give it right back to them?

Kent State is tied with Toledo in the second...
That didn't last too long. Toledo 45-10.

This has become unwatchable again.

What a wonderful fourth down play by Finley.

That said, Kiael Kelly isn’t quite in the same category as some of the other dual-threat guys we’ve faced—like Dequan Finn or Parker Navarro.
We sure? 😉

Watching a bit of Georgetown DePaul, just had a called penalty kick for DePaul overturned on a VAR review. Plus I noticed DePauls soccer field doubles as their softball field - with a whole skinned infield in the corner. Akrons facilities are better than some of the Big East for sure.

Disappointing draw - still ticked off about that VAR review. 🤣

On their only shot of the half. Grrrr

Seton Hall gets called for offsides on their goal and gets overturned on VAR. I don't see how they possibly could have overturned it.

Gotta admit I'm rooting for the Mariners but it was nice to see Bassitt have a good outing tonight.

Number of unique posters (not including me since measuring something changes that thing) that actually posted during the game - 10. Excitement has never been lower.

Not really a reference to our city but I didn't know where else to post this. Highlights the etymological root of our city's name. Pretty cool. (Guthrie is on vacation in Greece.)
Missed this one while I was there recently but I did find this. Went in to talk to the shop owner and his first question was "Are you from Ohio?" 🤣

Under the assumption we are favorites vs Kent and umASS (though there is no such thing as a penciled in win for us), can we get 2 out of the 4 vs Ball St, Buffalo, Miami, and BG to get to 6?
Yep this will somehow be the year we get to six - and then get denied bowl participation.

That's what makes it annoying.
Now can they do it again next week
This week ain't over yet.

And yet another perfect inning in relief for Bassitt in an epic World Series game. Bet the Blue Jays wish they had stuck with him a little longer in a game they desperately needed extended pitching moments. He still has a 0.00 ERA in this postseason.
