  1. Congrats to the Zips on another title. No question, Akron is the class of the conference. And unlike some Bobcat brethren, I don't see any way they take you out in Cleveland unless it's an off night for Akron. It's pretty clear who is superior. Next year, though, should be very competitive.
  2. All we had to do was get Jim Christian to leave.
  3. I don't live in the area anymore, but I'm curious if this was a big story up there and if it made any waves. http://www.ohio.com/news/local/about-the-falling-from-grace-series-1.531235
  4. Brad Bates is friends with Jim Christian's agent.
  5. But that head coaching experience pretty much trumps the assistant experience, no? Especially with an NCAA tournament win under his belt?
  6. Quite. But I suppose Phillips compares pretty favorably to Groce from a buzz standpoint but is coming in with more experience.
  7. Schaus' stated preference is to hire head coaches with prior HC experience. Since John Groce, oddly enough, that has been his pattern. So I would not expect Boals to have been seriously considered.
  8. I don't think this is true. Jon Smith bailed, but the rest of the team played pretty darn hard.
  9. Ohio hires Saul Phillips of North Dakota State.
  10. No way. I would much rather have a PBJ than mignon.
  11. Basketball State has IPFW at 63 and Akron at 82 in their rankings. Pomeroy has Akron very slightly ahead.

  13. Correction: A few fans are blaming the referees. But they always blame the referees, so please ignore them. Akron deserved the large disparity in FTA. Yes, the referees blew an interference call, but it did not change the outcome. And it's not nearly as egregious as missing JR Sims out of bounds last night.
  14. Good game. Best wishes tomorrow against WMU.
  15. With a win Wednesday, Ohio would win a three-way tie with UB and Akron. Most likely, Akron gets left out in that scenario.
  16. I'm rooting for Buffalo if I'm a Zip fan. If Ohio wins, that throws all three into a tie assuming Akron takes care of business Wednesday.
  17. Well, I think he's right. I never thought the Zips were interested in competing aside from a couple players.
  18. By my eyes, each fanbase seems to be pretty interested in the other school.
  19. Ooooh, can we get one of those Taiwanese animations about Zeke?
  20. Having expectations is fine and healthy. What that dude did was throw a temper tantrum like a baby. If he doesn't end up regetting that, he must be a real loser. Get some perspective in life, bro.
  21. I didn't vote for Cooper; I had Offutt from Ohio. I didn't have Evans either. There's no position slots on the all-tournament team; I just pick the five best players.
  22. Don't sleep on Nate Wolters, DB. I went to Michigan for the NCAA volleyball tournament a few years back. They seemed unable to differentiate Ohio schools from Ohio State. Their antics last year reinforced that.
  23. I feel like this will be a game of big runs.
