     Line of the article-  " If the Glenn Miller Orchestra famously has a gal in Kalamazoo, the Rockets have demons here."

     

    Chip Trayanum is playing for Toledo?

    Could apply at Akron as well. As good a Toledo has been historically and as bad as Akron has been, Toledo is only 13-10 against Akron all-time. They are, unfortunately, 7-2 all-time at home. Rockets 28-14.

    Money meant for taxpayers has long found it's way to athletics in SEC. The difference before that money was used on facilities. Case in point the Mississippi scandal that Brett Favre was in the middle of. 

    And that wasn't even the SEC. That was Southern Mississippi. Corruption runs deep.

    Looks to me like former Zips LB great under Bowden and NFL LB Justin March is now a member of our staff. Good move.

     

    Not sure what you mean by our staff but his opportunity is with the Tennessee Titans. 

  4. Double elimination time within about 10 minutes of each other. Lacrosse eliminated by Michigan 18-6 about 10 minutes after softball went down 5-4 to Ball State in the MAC tournament. Excellent seasons for both.

  5. Game being played at the same field at Northwestern that the Zips soccer team got jobbed and had to play there when they had a scheduled home game in the NCAA tournament.  Only good thing is their logo is worse than Akron's and it looks like a Z from the side.

  6. Zips are still alive as one of the final four teams in the MAC tournament after beating NIU 6-4. It gets a lot tougher from here on out. Side note Alexis Campbell has had an excellent tournament but it's even more fun watching her get ready to bat. She talks to herself, makes faces and sings to her walk up music. It all seems to be working. 😁

  7. Just watched the replay on ESPN+. Had no idea what the result was (and didn't want to). Thought they were done when they went down 9-4 but then they went on a five goal run. Thought they were done again after RMU sored on a rebound with I think 1:15 remaining, but they grabbed a goal with 12 seconds left, and then held on as a final RMU shot bounced off the top crossbar. Zips dominated overtime, RMU never got a shot off. Incredible season and victory.

  8. I may have mentioned this on here before but in light of the current conversation, undergrad in Computer Science at a school that honestly at the time I didn't love and wasn't that happy to have to go there. Grad school at Johns Hopkins, not exactly an apples to apples comparison since it was part-time night school, but Akron's program blew Hopkins away. I've come to appreciate Akron so much more in the intervening years. Hopkins is a good school and often comes in the top 10 in rankings, but if you gave me the blind "taste test" I'd have ranked Akron higher. Screw the stupid rankings.

  9. You know what? At this point with our logo, let's just go all in and make it the Arby's A and see if we can get the $1M. We can even rename ourselves to the Meats. That's the way college sports looks like it's going anyway. We might as well get ahead of the trend. 😉
