I had no idea they were going to cut down the nets last night. I disagree with your assertions that the crowd wasn't into the game last night. Willie and the PA guys did a pretty good job of trying to keep fans excited. If you haven't noticed, opposing coaches have been using timeouts to try and keep the crowd out of the game. Every time the fans got going a time out was called. This team seems to really feed of the enthusiasm of the crowd, home or away. As far as the comparison to 1986, that was the first time we ever won anything at the D-1 level. Yes we had been successful at D-2, but this was the big time we all yearned for. When we cut down the nets at the Q, I will stay and watch.

I saw him walking around at the game last night and had to take a good look to make sure it was him. He looks great.

Nice post. Time to start a new winning streak.

That's what Gonzaga does to the WCC.

A couple of things come to mind reading this article. These two guys are gonna get a reality check real soon if they think local businesses are falling all over themselves waiting for an opportunity to dump a bunch of money into this dump. It reminds me of an old adage that I heard over and over when I was involved in racing. That was if you want to make a million dollars, you need to start with 5 million $$$. It seems these guys have more dollar than sense.

5500 x $20.00 = $110,000.00 5500 x $50.00 = $275,000.00 I guess we would only have to charge $50. My math was a little off yesterday. I like the idea of playing at the Q too.

Flying makes sense to me.

I really like the look on that fans face. It looks like he can't believe the big guy can get up and throw it down like that!

Do you have $275k laying around that you don't need? All we would need to do is sell out the JAR at about $75 per ticket to pull that off.

So, do you like what you see?

Why don't you give coach Weigand a call. (330) 972-7678 I'm sure he will explain to you how they schedule. All the coaches are very approachable.

Gladden is going to fit right into Akron's program. A guy with his talents willing to be the sixth man is quite a statement. Another freshman who will contribute right away.

Exactly!

Please don't change what you are doing and pick us to win. You might jinx us.

You guys act like there are teams breaking down the door to get a chance to play at the JAR and KD is not willing to put them on the schedule. The reason we play those teams is because that's who we can get to come play us at home. Other top 50 or even 100 programs have nothing to gain and everything to lose by agreeing to play at the JAR. Most of the top 50 programs would want a 1 for 3 series with us playing them at their place first. Then when the time comes to play at the JAR, they just buy their way out of the contract if it looks like they might lose. Part of the reason KD likes the bracketbusters is because it guarantees a home game against a quality opponent. The coaching staff wants to play a good OOC schedule, but not if it means playing almost every game on the road.

Would you please give it rest until the off season! Are you and akzipper related?

I think about 4k. The old stadium was replaced with an entirely new facility about 10 years ago.

Make me a promise akzipper. You just keep being your negative self and make all those dire predictions, it's been working great for the Zips. I will only really worry about losing when you pick us to win.

Here's the guy who made the call. Notice something about his resume'? John Yorkovich Guess which team he has called the most games for?

There's no such thing as bad PR.
