I have heard the same...everyone expects Jimmy to be playing 4 full years at UA. Too soon to say for Roberts, but it speaks well for him that he's worked to be eligible this season. Since KD puts such a strong emphasis on graduation, I would be surprised if Roberts doesn't play the full 4 years too.

I would DEFINITELY want to see another wide receiver or two.

BWAA HAAA HAAAAAAA!!

Then someone should tell The University of Wisconsin, because their site shows us playing the Badgers in 7 months.It was obvious to me a couple years ago that Akron had scheduled 13 games for 2008 and one of them wasn't Hawaii. If you check old threads on this site you will see that I pointed this out, and asked if anyone knew what was going on. Got no satisfactory answer from you guys so I went to a very high AU authority who told me the MAC office was going to line up a replacement for us on the UW schedule. Do you see UW on our schedule?I don't. And you cerainly may be correct. But you can't blame anyone here for thinking it isn't out of the realm of possibility that Wisconsin might have their web page more updated than UA's?

Gold, Silver and Bronze go to BillCro69!!

Humpty Nets 31 and Chillicothe Knocks off #1 Dunbar

Separated at BirthWhat ever happened to Balki anyhow?

That's a GREAT idea! It would be so cool if teams that got screwed by the NIT in the past declined invites and joined the new tourney.F CM Newton and his cronies.

Gotta Beat K.e.n.t.

Hazime is a grey shirt from last year's class, so he will count against this year's scholarship count. He's a B-I-G dude. He's on campus and will participate this spring.We had 18 recruits visiting this weekend, so more verbals should follow soon.

He's slimmed down!

Thanks guys, can't believe some of you guys didn't get that one.Read it in a rush @ lunch. I'm an idiot (but most of you already knew that).

I'm relatively shocked to see so may critical critical posts after such a blow-out win. BG beat OU and Cincinnati...and we blew them out of the gym! Maybe Dambrot was right when he half-jokingly stated in the post-game show "I think our fans are getting a little spoiled."It wasn't all that long ago that Anthony Stacy was burying us at the JAR...Keith McCloud was ripping our hearts out, and Antonio Daniels was tossing down LeBron-esque dunks on defenseless Zips. I, for one, am digging this Zips team BIG-TIME. And I'm especially digging the payback for all those beatdowns I endured over the past two decades.Bardo is fine. I though he had a nice game last night. I'd take Bardo over that fat, lazy Otis Spunkemeyer that repeatedly got out-hustled last night.As bad as Dials was shooting, is as good as he was in distributing the ball. He made some awesome passes last night.Quade got some confidence against the stay-puff marshmallow men that manned BG's paint. How did these softies beat OU? Oh, I forgot...Bubba.Roberts gets better every game. He can both drive the lane, and hit the 3. We'll see what kind of nerve he has on Wednesday.Brett McKnight hoisted 10 shots last night! I like his confidence, and I like how he banged inside. I wonder if KD tries to play him a bit more vs. K.e.n.t.? He could be an "X-factor."Awesome game (again) by the Zips. My only worry is with Cedrick, who really seems to be a shell of his healthy self. Hopefully, after the K.e.n.t. game, the youngsters can give him a breather and let him heal for the stretch run.

We need to beat K.e.n.t. to get a "premier" opponent. If we lose to K.e.n.t., we'll probably get CSU.

Congrats to Hixon. I hope he gets a Super Bowl ring.Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Best of luck to him!And Chase Blackburn too. Both guys were tremendous student athletes. Nice to have two Zips in the Super Bowl! B) B)

I hear it was heart-related. After several series of tests, doctors determined he has no "heart." Zips fans already had a hunch this was the case.

Nate Schuler is from Springfield Local, which is in the Youngstown area.

I'm sure Bubba will be cool with that.

The crowd was great for a late Thursday night. I was impressed. Akron folk are starting to finally catch on!But I still hate ESPNU.

That's why Bubba was a bad fit in Akron. If you are a Zips basketball player, you can't be a "minute monger." If getting 22 minutes per game instead of 32 minutes per game really bothers you, then you won't fit in @ UA. Bubba quit once Dials came on board. Unlike Ced, he didn't have the character to be a 6th man. Bubba can be a 3-point "freak," if you don't know his game. That's why he does well against non-MAC opponents. He catches them off-guard with his bizarre shot selection. And if left unmolested, he can hit those 27-footers with regularity. In MAC play every coach knows "Simply guard Bubba, and you shut him down." He is way less effective in MAC play than in OOC. Especially against teams that play D like the Zips.
