  1. The first to 60 rule in effect again tonight. Great win, great teamism!
  2. My friend was at the awards dinner. He said Insincere came across as a real cocky a-hole.
  3. You're not going to get very many good candidates for a D-1 coaching position that only pays $175k.
  4. You should have heard them at breakfast on roadgames.
  5. Unfortunately I will be cruising around the Caribbean Saturday so I won't be able to make it to the game. I have four seats(lower level row 2 accross from the bench), 4 Tommy Evans lounge passes(includes a free buffet) and a lot 2 parking pass. If somebody wants them send me a PM. All I ask is you don't emabarrass me and with your presence make the Zips lose.
  6. NIU is a graveyard for overconfident MAC East teams.
  7. The NCAA rifle national championship tourney will be held at the JAR in March. The top8 teams are invited and the Zips currently sit at #10. They have some big matches in the next few weeks that could propel them into the top 8. Rifle is coed sport and our top shooters are women. https://www.news5cleveland.com/sports/college-sports/university-of-akron/top-10-ranked-akron-zips-rifle-team-targeting-home-ncaa-rifle-championship-appearance
  8. You guys need to learn to just enjoy the moment. Whether Rique stays or goes is a subject for after the season. I'll tell you this, he loves playing so close to home.
  9. Zips got totally screwed by the MAC on the schedule. Kent got the bottom feeders for the double games.
  10. I think Charles has plenty of respect for Melissa and the job she has done with the team. My observation of Charles is he wants winning programs. Especially for the 4 high profile programs, MBB, WBB, Football and MSOC. In her first 4 seasons as HC she had just one with a winning record in MAC play. Melissa just needs to keep winning.
  11. EMU should have hired Charles Thomas as their coach instead of washed up Stan Heath.
  12. It has nothing to with her being a woman. I really like Melissa so I won't go into all the details that are preventing Guthrie from pulling the trigger on a new contract. All she needs to do is win to get that contract. If the women get crushed in the MAC tournament like last year Reagan Bass will be out the door.
  13. I thought toasters were only available to those that could verify their membership from the old blue board days.
  14. Unfortunately I will still be stuck here in Cancun.
  15. That sucks. The original schedule meant I could make the game. Now I won't be able to make it. 😕
  16. Dawson is out for the season. Clarke has a high ankle sprain and he is still rehabbing.
  17. That has to be the worst floor on any arena that I have ever visited!
  18. Hopefully more good things coming to the baseball program soon.
  19. Joining the AAC would boost our budget by $8 million a year. That pays for a lot of charter flights.
  20. Not any different than any other coaches contract. Even though he was not making the same $$ he made at OSU, the $95k we were paying him made the 4th highest paid coach in the MAC. Guthrie has put a lot of effort into the baseball program. We are now back to the full scholarship level and the silly rule about only recruiting from Ohio has been dropped. Beals knew exactly what he was signing up for when he put his name on that contract. He and the Marshall AD are just scumbags. At the end of the day UA is financially better off than when he got here after he pays the buyout.
  21. The biggest hold up on the practice facility has been the HVAC. The chiller has been on order since early last year.
