All you had to do was call the Akron Zips ticket office prior to the tournament. Yes your ticket location would be determined by your Z-Fund status but that's the way the game is played. Here is a link to the Z-Fund points system. There is a lot more factored into the formula than how much you donate. http://www.gozips.com/zfund/Priority_Points/index http://www.gozips.com/zfund/Priority_Points/Explanation

Everybody knows what color dinosaurs are.

About as likely as Bowden bringing back R Ianello as his OC.

There was a longer speech before they started that isn't on the video.

Kwan and Isaiah didn't cut any net either. There is still work to do before they reach their goal.

Kent down by 13 at the half. EMU up by 4 at the half.

I think we are still in the running for this guy.

Long time Zips fan and ZN.o member Go Zips peacefully passed away tonight as his beloved Zips dispatched hated KSU. Fred was a longtime volunteer assistant with the basketball program dating back to the Bob Huggins era. If anyone ever bled blue and gold it was Fred. He was very opinionated but he truly loved every kid that passed through the program. Fred had a stroke late last year and was sorely missed by the staff and team. He did make it to one final game on February 14th, a win against Toledo. RIP Go Zips!

I think it really helps that he is able to get some practice time with the team this semester. He looks like he can be a contributor next season.

Doubtful

Eric Parrish He joined the team at the beginning of second semester.

Totally the fault of the Ops Manager. I've never seen our bus or plane leave anywhere without a player headcount.

Probably 3-4 thousand UB students here tonight.

I think he will play

I'm pretty sure the plan is to broadcast soccer too.

Womens softball is 5-5.

Really nice article by GT on our new TV production studio. http://www.ohio.com/sports/producing-sports-broadcasts-for-espn-means-valuable-experience-for-students-exposure-for-ua-1.749223?cache=18961415304345%2fnews%2fohio%2fcss%2fresults.css

A guy who quit the team on a plane ride home? A guy who was not a great team mate? A guy whose off court behaviors ultimately got him kicked off the team and expelled from school?

Thank God!

Here is a great reader comment from that article. "The NCAA needs to decide what the purpose of their tournament should be. Is it: 1) To reward schools for having a good season. 2) To include all the teams who might be the best in the nation. 3) To provide the maximum amount of entertainment. Number 3 is the easiest. People love upsets and good stories. To do this, the committee should just choose the top 2 teams in each league and split them into different brackets, maximizing the number of upsets and surprise teams. Otherwise, the rules are simple.: 1) No conference should have more than 4 teams selected. Yes, I understand that the ACC is a better conference than the Southern Conference. But if you finished less than fourth in your own conference, you are 1) not the best team in the nation and 2) didn't have a good season. 2) I would like to see regional balance restored. The tournament just isn't as interesting when the closest team to your house is 1000 miles away. There should be 16 teams from the East, 16 teams from the South, 16 teams from the Midwest, and 16 teams from the West. And spread out through those regions. What is the best team in the Northwest? Who has bragging rights in New England? 3) With only a maximum 4 teams from a conference, it is easy to put them is seperate brackets. RPI is as good a way of seeding them as any other. 4) RPI should be changed to not include in conference games. Any thing can and does happen in rivalry games. Some schools seem to have issues scheduling good non-conference opponents. Take the conference games out of RPI and see how tough those schedules get. Conference games still mean a lot since they determine who goes to the NCAAs." Point #4 is the best. By not considering conference games in the RPI formula it would force teams to schedule better non-conference games.

I have 2 GA tickets available for the game. PM me if you want them.
