6 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal in 18 minutes still pretty productive. 11-19 shooting in his lat two games also pretty productive.

Buffalo hammered EMU so both MAC West leaders are now 4-2. Zips once again lead the pack no matter what happens tomorrow.

Are we required by MAC contract to be down at every half? Heating up has begun. Q with a quick 4.

I think it's just a prediction. They could be right.

How did we manage to escape with a win with Harney only playing 14 minutes? Oh yeah, because as Dave pointed out, he scored 19 points in 9 minutes in the second half. You get half credit if his points exceed your minutes estimate. And the Zips still get the win. I think you might be onto something. He might be good.

And all Patriots fans should address theirs to Billy Cundiff.

Sad to see JoePa's passing. What a terrible year for Penn State.

I wish the Zips had Ball State at home or didn't draw them first but if the Zips defeat them at Muncie, they should be able to sweep the West (although I'm sure one unexpected loss will pop up). Ball State has a tough draw, they go to Can't, Buffalo and Ohio. 3-3 might be very realistic against the East.

I'm not a huge hockey fan and wasn't quite sure where to put this, but maybe it will give the club team a little more attention (and maybe they might even want to try it). Have it give it to our conference mates (even if there is no MAC hockey conference), as Western Michigan pulled off a really slick goal. They passed to the middle player who made it look like he was letting loose a wicked slap shot, but in reality let the puck slide past him to his teammate who did unload a wicked goal scoring slapshot. Well done Broncos!

While its nice to see the Zips beat other schools for a recruit, many folks believe that MAC coaches need to find the diamond in the rough that other schools may have overlooked. Maybe this is one of those.

They're far from all new coaches but I ran across this quiz on MAC coaches. You try to name as many as you can in 12 minutes, for everyone who has ever been a head coach in the MAC. I gave up after getting about 2 dozen (including getting lucky on a WMU coach named Gil when I typed Turner Gill's name wrong). I did get all of the Akron coaches correct. Bowden is included. A lot of big names who started in the MAC.

Something from the Bulls Fan Board, a little on tonight's game. My surprise was that Steve McNees was so disliked. I suspect it was because he was tough and very successful, but still I wouldn't ever have thought of him as "villain". Go scare those boys tonight, Steve, make them think you're still playing.

Since we are the last story in the trend line, in keeping with the theme, let's screw them tonight! Of course there is that old saw about that, Bulls and Horns ... Hmm.

Will be obvious Who the true champs are, once Can't Turns Greene with envy

We also have Blake Justice and Deji Ibitayo.

Hudson is a nice town. Maybe Terry was looking for a place to live and just happened to stop by.

A mass email from Tom W. had this note in it after they toured the Stroh Center at BG before last week's game: As we consider the future of the JAR, it’s important for us to see what our competitors have built. The Stroh Center is a nice building and prompted a lot of discussion about what we would want to do if we renovated the JAR or built a new facility. This is a topic in the months ahead you can expect to hear more about from me.

Doing better now. In 27th place, only four points outside of the top 25.

A Hudson kid. All right. Eat that one eguins.

"If you lose this chance at reviving Akron football, you'll take it to your graves". "Your f**king graves". Thanks for the link Herb.

For as much as Bobby Bowden keeps the mentioning the Zips, I think he deserves his own separate thread. Follow Bobby Bowden on Facebook or Twitter. It is incredible how often he is mentioning the Zips. Football, basketball or a general comment like this. This is pretty cool to have someone of his stature to be passing the word on the Zips.

Another huge play by Chase. Just returned a fumble for a near touchdown to pretty much seal the upset for the Giants.

Keener, you need to do your part and take advantage of opportunities like this. Get a big Zippy and seat it behind the Eagle. The colors look blue and gold and it would read U A on the other side. Glad I could help.

Loved the AK-Rowdies "John hates balloons" chant afterward.

After three games, the Zips are the only undefeated MAC team. Ball State lost at home to Eastern and Central lost at NIU. Didn't expect either of those, but it makes me feel better about having to go to Ball State and CMU. The whole league is either 2-1 or 1-2 except for the Zips and Toledo (0-3). Nice place to be sitting but the trip to Buffalo is going to be a tough one.
