He didn't travel with the team.

I am sad to see my friend George moving on to a new challange. If there was ever someone who bled Blue and Gold it would be George. From his playing days as a pitcher to his time in the athletics department he always had UA and it's athletes as a top priority. You will be sorely missed George. Dear Zips Nation, Since 1994, I have roamed the hilltop affectionately called Akron U. by the locals. In my time as a student-athlete and as an employee, I have come to love working with students, coaches, faculty, administrators, and staff to advance the University. I have been a part of great teams in Advancement and Athletics. We shared in the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Thank you for working with me to make The University of Akron a great public research university with an unsurpassed commitment to the community. In my 24-years on campus as an employee, I have accomplished and learned a lot. I still have much to learn and greater challenges I want to take on. It is bittersweet to tell you that I am leaving UA and will be joining you as donors and season ticket holders rooting our Zips on from the stands. I leave for a great opportunity which will allow me to grow and thrive personally and professionally while keeping my family in the Akron area. I want to thank all of you for your love, support, and friendship over the years. I leave knowing Akron Athletics has a great foundation to continue to achieve championships in the classroom and in competition. Forever a Zip, George

If we didn't let NIU shoot 60% from the field in the second half we wouldn't have needed for everything to go perfectly for us to win.

The biggest problem with this team is the inability to get stops on defense. Our guards are slow footed and can't stay in front of their man. The result of that is just what we're seeing this week. Lot's of drives to the basket that end up in layups or wide open threes for our opponent. This is the worst defensive team Groce has put on the court.

He was a little misguided on a lot of things.

Substitute the word "I'm" for "we're" and you can see what he was really thinking.

GOZIPS was a man ahead of his time. RIP

My prediction First team to score 60 wins.

They used to be available at the mens bathroom at Nimisilla reservoir. The sheriff's department made them find a new location. https://www.ohiogamefishing.com/threads/nimisila-indecency-bust.131995/

He turned down the job last time. Was sure he could turn things around at UA.

I really hate to see my seats go unused.

Tickets have been spoken for.

Still have 2 left.

Unfortunately I will be stuck in the Bahamas and unable to make it to the game Friday night. If someone wants my seats in the lower level, row 2 accross from the Zips bench send me a DM. They are free for the taking. 😁

If we had just made a defensive stop at OSU that number would be much better.

Basketball practice facility (and more) coming

If they ever finally finish reconstruction on Main Street and get a decent number of people living there your idea might have a chance. -
If you've ever been there you would know why. Big barn with bad lighting. The worst game day experience in the MAC. I remember being there and watching KD throw the eraser for the whiteboard during a timeout about 10 rows deep after a ridiculous call by the refs.

You're right! Quincy Diggs was a transfer. -

Seriously? No impactful transfers? Brian Walsh? Noah Robotham? There were others. -

This is correct. -

The cost of the basketball practice facility is just over $1 million. The biggest costs are the Floor and a new HVAC system to keep the floor from buckling. -
They are going to convert some underused space at the rec center to a full size court and 2 half court areas. There will be some limited locker areas and a state of the art video recording system for instantaneous playback. An entrance with access from Carroll street.

Both of them were struggling from significant injuries at the beginning of training camp. By the time they were healthy it was too late for them to realistically be contributors this season.

Guthrie didn't schedule the Tennessee game. LW scheduled that one.
