Even the Plain Dealer is starting to realize we have something special going on at the JAR. On a raucous night, Akron zips right past Can't State: Bill Livingston Akron's second-half blitz pushes Zips past Can't State, 84-75

My wife is there today. Is there something in particular you like? I'll have her pick it up for you.

I guess your calling him out on this caused a big problem. The video has been removed by the user from YouTube.

Same here. I only went .500 Saturday. My only regret is picking UB over MU.

I was thinking more along the lines of Coach Bowden instead of Will Smith.

Unless ZN.o decides to run some advertising spots on the program, I would say the odds of ZN.o being mentioned are zero. The show is about Zips basketball, not ZN.o.

When Dambrot starts doing a show that is on the air 5 days a week and 52 weeks a year, you might have a point. Since we're only talking 15 shows, I'm sure KD won't need any vacation time from the demanding schedule.

Joe Dunn is not the producer of the show, just the talking head. It might make sense to have one of the assistants on as a guest, but the last time I looked the show is still called "Zips basketball with Keith Dambrot".

I doubt you're going to see the "fan thing" dropped. When I talked to Joe last week he told me the show is targeted to Joe fan, not the diehards. Even though us diehards here on ZN.O would love the program to be more technical, the average viewer could care less whether we run a zone or man to man. Too many X & O's and people just change the channel. He said he would take the suggestions from the members here into consideration, but with the limited budget they are working with, it would be difficult to get to provide much in the way of video breakdowns of strategy. I did like how he asked Zeke about what his thought process is when he gets the ball on the block.

This whole firing is a mess. Since the "community activist" got elected to the school board I would expect more questionable decisions.

You're talking to yourself again!

Because Zeke is trying to block every shot, it takes him out of position for defensive rebounds. On the offensive end, I'm not sure what is happening. Next game I will watch closely to see what Zeke is doing.

From the times I've seen him at practices, he is a very gritty player. I would like to see what he could do in a game.

Valpo just took down Cleveland State. http://stats.cleveland.com/cbk/recap.asp?g...&final=true http://www.cleveland.com/sports/csu/index....t_maintain.html

With the amount of fouls called, it took the crowd out of the game a little bit.

Egner hut his back in practice this week. He is scheduled to have an MRI. The new guy on the bench is a walk-on. He earned the spot on the bench after Green left the program.

BTW, here's what Joe doe's in his spare time. Big Time Sports

Bald nerd!

Joe Dunn bleeds blue and gold, so its no surprise that he is a total homer for the Zips. I will give him a call today and pass on the suggestions from the good members of ZN.O for improvements to the program. I'm sure if they are feasible he would make whatever changes necessary to get more viewers.

After Saturdays games, you guys will be eating my dust!

I bow to your wisdom!

When the JAR first opened there was no metal railing at the top of the glass wall surrounding the lower level. It wasn't until later that year or the next year that someone from the university or the city decided that the metal cap had to be installed for what ever reason. Take away the metal cap on the glass and the site lines from the upper deck are much better.

Diamond Deli is the best lunch spot in downtown Akron. The owner is also a big Zips sports supporter.
