At the beginning of the year there were lots of "Oh No" moments when Q was on the floor. By the end of the season those had turned into "Oh Yes" moments for the most part. I think the latter will be more on exhibit next season.

After the spring game, I'm altering my prediction to two wins.
Give it a rest. Find another hobby for the summer.

If you look in the 2010/2011 media guide on Gozips.com under coaching and support staff you will find a photo. Cole Pittis

Does anyone know how old he is or where he is from? I grew up in New York with a Bob Senderoff. Can not be a real common name.
Maybe your friends kid?

Why isn't D'Orazio listed on the roster?
-
Well...I guess that makes Akron "the world's shortest giant".
How long will that status exist before serious questions are asked?If serious questions are asked, TW will put on his serious face, I guarantee it.
Where did you find that!

For the fans. Who wants to watch a glorified practice in the pouring rain?
Nevermind. Not worth it.
Did you go yesterday? I did and it made sense to hold it in the fieldhouse. There was a deluge of rain immediately prior to the start of the game. I had to walk past the INFO and the field was like a swamp.

For Can't there were five fumbles in the rain at Dix Stadium, four lost, and enough missed scoring opportunities in the red zone to make the small crowd feel like nothing has changed for a team that finished 5-7 last season.http://www.ohio.com/sports/119996469.html
Rain, rain go awayFor those fans who braved the cool and wet weather, umbrellas were a necessity as the sprinkles at the beginning of the game soon turned into a downpour toward the end of the first 12-minute quarter. There's no doubt that rain played a factor in a series of fumbles as the Blue Team had just gotten a first down when senior running back Washington fumbled the handoff from Keith. Defensive lineman Lee Stalker recovered the ball.

It was rainy across the Midwest today, forcing a handful of schools to make tough calls with their spring game. WMU stayed outside in the rain, Akron went indoors and brought the fans and Buffalo went inside, but had to close the contest because of it. I personally think Akron had the ideal situation, but I understand all three schools reasons.
I don't understand at all. American Football has always been played in all weather conditions. There was no lightning, just some rain and it was a little cool. Why WIMP out and move indoors?!

Quite a showing by the Offense in the first half. 47-11 Three touchdowns and a field goal. All three QBs looked good and the running game showed some signs of life. The one player that stood out the most was #44 Jawon Chisholm. He showed some good speed and a good instinct for where the hole was. He was the starter and I can see why. The Defense had a couple of good stops, but no one player stood out. Overall I feel a little better about where the Zips are headed.

Nyles Evans is also still available.
Stark County POY Nyles Evans is considering going the Prop-48 route at Akron.
What is Prop 48?
Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is the route that Demetrius Treadwell and Nick Harney have going right now. Basically if you have academic issues qualifying you come in for a year and pay your own way while trying to get your grades up. You aren't allowed to practice with the team or anything like that, but if you make the grades after one year then you still have your normal five years to play four.
On the plus side, Evans could be a very nice backup PG behind Abreu in a couple of years once he would be (hopefully) eligible.
From what I can find at the NCAA website, there is no such thing as Prop 48 any longer. You are either a qualifier or not. There used to be a category called partial qualifier, that doesn't exist any longer. Treadwell and Harney were not qualified to get scholarships, but they did have good enough grades to enroll at UA. They are paying their own way this year. Once they complete their freshman year, they would in theory, be eligible for a BB scholarship.

One of the offensive lineman is taking the same class as my daughter this semester. He told her today that the Lone ranger is pretty good and he hopes he is the starting QB this fall. He is meshing well with the other O-lineman and seems to be the better QB.
-
I like how fast the ball gets airborne. Not kicking the ball into the butts of the O-lineman is good.
-
Both teams deserved to be there.
However, it was still the worst college hoops game I have ever witnessed.
And this includes the games at the JAR where B. Hip was draining threes from all over the court.
That must have been that one game I missed.

KD has already turned down one offer. It would have doubled his salary.
Who was that offer from?
It doesn't matter. My point is that KD isn't leaving.

Look for an announcement in the near future regarding upgrades to the JAR.

No Zips information again....guess it's time to start talking about Tressel's latest scandal.
He gotta be careful, someone might be trying to steal our gameplan!
-
This one will stick in my mind, however it turns out, I will remember this quote:Lemming's comments are predictable, given his ND ties.''I think Akron is a sleeping giant. You have got to give them two or three more years. The way they can coach and recruit, this is going to be a juggernaut.''
I'm having a hard time believing anything from a guy named Lemming.

Dambrot and the Zips have gotten a lot of good press this week because of Shaka and VCU.
-
OK, I watched the Fronline video. It still doesn't answer my question about this years Zips seniors. I do agree with the class action lawsuit. I've stayed out of the OSU/Tressel debate, but I think the players should have been able to sell their souvenirs. Once someone gave them those items, it became their personal property and they should have the right to do with it as they please. If they don't want them to sell the trinkets, they shouldn't be given until after they leave school.

The back of the scoreboard that faces Exchange street is only made of canvass. More tilting at windmills, huh?
