Captain Kangaroo

I enjoyed reading Jason Arkley's thought process. I heard George Thomas' was a little more in-depth and complex. It involved Cheetos, and interpreting oil stains on a napkin.

Congrats to Kwan!

Solid bounce-back game for the Zips. Some key guys had off nights, and others picked up the slack. Zips needed to hit rock bottom to wake up, and the TEAM woke up tonight. Way to respond, Zips! Now take care of business at The Q and sport those Dancin' shoes!! You're the best team in the MAC! Time to strut your stuff!!

I wish the UA employees responsible for the roster's accuracy cared as much about their job as UA Athletics wants Zips football fans to care about the team.

I would only say - the person that created the roster list may be the same person who thinks Jerome Lane Jr. went to Pitt. FWIW - I spoke to a coach a couple weeks ago and asked him about Bell's status. He said he was "still a Zip."

If we want to win more than Kent, we'll win. Kent's offense can't keep up with the Zips when we play to our capabilities. If we play uninspired and lazy, we'll lose. If we're down at the end, we'll probably lose. We haven't shown the poise to pull out a comeback win in a tight game (we won in spite of ourselves vs Ball State). We need a lead going into the final 2 minutes. If we're down, we're in trouble. I like our chances tonight. I think we hit rock-bottom against Miami, and sometimes you need that "that's all I can stands, I can't stands no more" wake-up call before you can turn things around. Zips 72 Kent 64

Go Zips!! BTW - "Bowdum" is pretty hilarious . Not as hilarious as when you called Olijapoke a "Dopey Dope"...that was one your best....but still really hilarious. Beat Kent!

I think Dambrot has a bunion too. Those are pain-FUL.

Hey, I'm not the one that said 1/5. No more football talk in the hoops forum. I promise. I just made a 1-line comment for fun, and a few simple food-for-thought quips.

4/22 = 18.2% 1/5 = 20% Pretty much the same thing. Lose your starting QB...lose your starting PG...pretty much the same thing when you have MAC-level depth. Lose to "high mid-major" VCU by 44...lose to Cotton-Bowl bound WMU by 41...pretty much the same thing.

Somewhere... Brock Boxen, Warren Ball, Tommy Woodson and Jamal Marcus are chuckling.

Love UA Love the players Love the coach Hate that we are playing uninspired Hate that we're playing unintelligently Hate that we are playing soft That's not as visceral as some would like. It's not as cuddly and others would like. Oh well...can't please everyone.

We should be concerned that we've played 1.5 good games over the past 3 weeks. NCAA tourney seeding is the absolute furthest thing from my mind. I'm concerned about being an 8 seed in the NIT.

Kwaful performance. lazy passes by Robotham and Ivey in crunch time sealed the deal. That, and Dog missing 80% of his crunch time free throws. Miami had lost every road game this season. They were down 15 in the 2nd half...11 when Kwan took himself out of the game...and won. Like the Kent game, our opponent was tougher than us, and wanted the win more than the Zips. League MVP's don't finish the season like this. Lucky for Dog, there's not much competition. He should still win it. I guess we now know how much Kwan means to the Zips. Hope he sees it too, and finishes his career like he played the first 2/3rds of the season.

Kwan...Kwan...Kwan...

The bench is making an impact tonight. Emmanuel "The Elevator" Olijapoke may need an oxygen mask he's spending so much time above the rim!

Former Brookhart Grad Assistant now New England Pats TE Coach A former Zips coach told me 10 years ago - "Watch this kid...he's gonna be a star." He was right. From walk-on punter at John Carroll...to Zips Grad asst...to Super Bowl Champs TE coach in 11 years. Super nice kid too. Very happy for him. Amazing how many of the Brookhart ex-coaches have landed noteworthy college and pro football gigs, while JD himself has been out of football for years.

That's not a smashed oar they're using on those flat bench presses, is it?

You'da thunk "Carlitos Anderson Bobblehead Night" = standing room only crowd? I blame the millennials.

From "Row the Boat," to "Trap the Lobsta' " Good hire by UMass. Too bad they're UMass.

Has the countdown to Zips baseball reinstatement begun yet?

Miami sucks! Zips win!

Certainly Bulletin Board material for the Red Hawks. Has any team in the history of basketball cut down nets after a loss?

I didn't see anyone with him on a "crap list," but I saw multiple people saying he needed to amp up his game. They were right. Noah had a good game tonight. Now he needs to back it up. If he plays tough at Kent, we win. If he's invisible for 33 minutes, we lose. That's the cross you bear when you're an Akron Zips point guard. If you want low expectations, play for Northern Illinois. Their fans are happy just to make it to The Q. Akron fans expect more.

Ok Zips...you're up 5 with 4 minutes left. You aren't down 5. Play like a it.
