Hilltopper

Last night everybody was a winner thanks to Bud Wentz. In the putting contest, a new target sign was revealed that was 50% larger and had no target hole. The announcers said all that was required to win the $10,000 prize was to hit the sign. The young lady contestant took aim and sent a straight putt right at it. Just as the ball got there, the helpers lifted the sign and the ball passed underneath. The contestant started to walk away but was informed she had indeed won $10,000! Bud was waiting with the check at the other end of the court. The shot for tuition contest took a similar twist. A student was selected as always who could win a semester of tuition by sinking a layup, a foul shot, a three point shot and a half court shot in 30 seconds. It was then announced there would be a substitute celebrity shooter. Ali Ali! He calmly sank the first three shots on his first attempt. After about 10 attempts he banked in the halfcourt shot and the crowd went wild! Kudos to Bud for thinking outside the box to make senior night special.

Buchtel and Carrol streets we major east west arteries at the time I started in fall of 77.

Meeting a minimum standard is difficult when your bosses are demanding that your football program needs to be a cash cow to appease those who want to abolish the whole thing.

You can't change demographics. Fewer students means less demand. Change or die.

You can thank Guthrie. The MAC still sucks for making us play Kent on a weeknight.

He is our most coveted player. His production the last few games is just a reflection of being a true freshman. He has the most upside of any player on the roster. P4 will be coming hard for him in the off-season. The only guy with a bigger upside is JG.

We should have won by 20! Emu sank a half court shot at the buzzer. Considering the way everything went down this season tonight was a great ending.

I think you are mistaking Briscoe for Harris. Harris has not been with the team since his shoulder injury. Briscoe was not on the bench last night due to illness.

Great job by Associate AD Samantha Maxwell!

Our offense looked stagnant because Kent ran a double team at Tavari everytime he touched the ball in the backcourt. It wasn't a trap but more of a 2 man zone. That resulted in a lot of dribbling. I was shocked at the end when Sullinger passed up several open 3 looks. I too was surprised when Hornbeak was not in the game at the end. We had no answer for him most of the second half.

The pathway we are on as a nation is not sustainable. The interest payments on our national debt is destroying our economy. The reckless spending of the last 10 years cannot continue. The past administrations strategy of essentially just printing more money is about to have the bill come due. Trillions of dollars in low interest rate short term debt will need to be refinanced soon at double the rate. The IRS has 45,000 employees. The few new hires that DOGE is trimming are not going to delay tax returns unless the remaining employees decide to take some type of work action to slow things down.

He was just raising money so his mom could come to stay with him.

Scott has been our most consistent player during MAC play. He seems to have really embraced his role as leader of the second unit. He also is usually in at the end of the game.

You're not even in the right hemisphere.

How do you know there wasn't? 🤔

Arth was Williams choice. Williams son played for Arth. I know it's not a popular opinion here, but Arth did have a track record of success before we hired him. The real record is how Akron football has a history of chewing up and spitting out head coaches due to a lack of support from all parties. I hope the search committee comes up with someone who can navigate the turbulent waters of budget cuts, NIL and TP athletics is facing. Whoever it is, faces a daunting task to keep the ship from sinking.

No point guard today. The only one we have left(Hall) didn't make the trip.

Injured I believe.

It appears Emily is not playing today. Down to 6 scholarship players and a volleyball player today.

GVH would be a good choice. He already knows all the donors and the community. He would hit the ground running.

The girls put up a great effort but just fell short. A couple of close calls in the last 3 minutes resulted in a 5 point swing for WMU. Shelbee Brown was amazing with 32 pts and 19 rebounds.

I must have been wrong about last season.
