MD's got it.

Well, you did score 30.

Akron, OU, and UB have all won the East in the last four years... who is missing?

I don't think there's much animosity between us on the gridiron. In Akron, at least, we've gotten blasted recently. Morale is down and I'm not sure how much trust there is right now in Boo Jackson. The defense has started to deteriorate in recent games, probably from too much field time. At least Davidson has been looking good in the backfield.I don't think we hit 20, but you probably get 30.

And in doing so, he became the first coach to team the same team (WMU) twice in one year helming two different squads.

Nah, I'm too numb from the incompetence of these guys. I feel like going is a punishment, honestly.77 is the way to go, even with the Lancaster bypass. Seriously. I've done that drive too many times,So I know you guys have been battling injuries all year, and I'm wondering if this has deflected any possible criticism/disatisfaction with Solich. Is he feeling any heat from the OU fans? Obvously a win over the Zips would help his cause, and I'm expecting a very difficult game.Two camps are sort of forming. One is turning against him, the other firmly behind. I am in the camp against him. I don't think he's under any real heat this year, but he's going to need to do something next year.

What happened to you guys this year? You should have beat OSU in Columbus! Have there been injuries?It's like a WWI infirmary. We lost our QB in Columbus, our first and second string halfbacks, fullback's been out all year, TE out, receivers have been out, both lines decimated.But the killer has been penalties and mental mistakes, which injuries don't account for. These guys are good at finding ways to lose.

I'm sort of wondering where you got that from. One person talked about how much he hates Akron. The rest of us were worried about whether or not the band would be there.There's a lot of apathy and anger around the program right now. We'd love to put a bullet in this season's head.

I enjoyed last night's rebuttal sign: "I misspelled throw." On the other side: "I didn't know K ent fans could read."

For what it's worth, I was really impressed by what Akron was able to do this year. You lost two core players and had Wood go down in the middle of the conference schedule. You still came within a game of the division title and made it to the finals. You blew out the West Division champs on a neutral floor.These are all very impressive things, and few people outside this board thought the Zips were capable of that. Yes, last night was bad, but that other team is just playing too well right now.Seriously, there's a lot to be proud of this season for you guys.

Tim O'Shea would like a word with you.

Great performance by your guys tonight. I know you guys hate Bubba, but he kept us in it late.Anyway, best wishes rest of the way. You've proven me wrong every step of the way.

Look elsewhere, sir. I don't think we're going anywhere just yet.And like I said over at Kitty Kat Attack, isn't it more fun when Can't's a bunch of punks?

Enjoy.http://www.hoopsjunkie.net

Last year during the tournament, Reghi was partying with the 110 at the Clevelander. True story.

(sighs)

While Chones might have Alzheimer's, Reghi is one of the best in the business. Love that guy.

I don't think it was an ugly game, I think it was solid defensive performance by both teams. Both squads ratcheted up the pressure when they got down. There were nerves, but it was a good game.Great play at the end by Linhart. I'd call it lucky, but I've seen enough of his ugly-but-effective play to know otherwise. Wow, he barely got that ball.Couldn't have worked out any better for you guys, huh? Anyway, good game, see you down in Athens.

I had heard through the grapevine Romeo didn't like playing in Europe and moved back here.

The only person I'm aware of that has suggested this is O'Shea. The general response was, "You're crazy."How crazy is he? Now if the conference as a whole was stronger, would it be such a bad idea? You would think that it would force teams to schedule good non-conference teams on their RPI wouldn't it?I can see it being a good thing IF the conference as a whole raises the RPI. If the conference enforces a scheduling policy (ala the MVC), then it could be beneficial. Fewer non-conference games, in theory, would compel coaches to schedule fewer cupcakes. It could compel them to avoid guarantee games and quality opponents to seek out wins, though. As it stands, though, do you want to play NIU and Ball State twice a year?As it is, too many teams are scheduling too weakly, and that needs to change.

OK, THAT was funny.

Be that as it may, again, he hit big shots late that kept us in the game. He was the only guard trying to do anything on offense. I put that loss on the coaching, Hester, Tillman, and Allen, in that order.

I disagree. In fact, he was one the reasons (with Leon) we had a chance at the end.
