BG and NIU so low?! What else is there to do out in the middle of corn fields? OU - I get that - drink, go to game, leave at halftime, go drink some more. Definitely nothing else to do down there.

It's one thing not to peak too soon. It's another to at LEAST keep it interesting. It seemed like the Buffalo game was over before it got started and we never made a serious run. Can't was down by 11 or 13 up there, sucked it up, and did what they had to to win. If we can't find a way to score consistently AND not take a game off defensively, we're going to be in trouble up in Cleveland. The Can't game on Saturday is huge in my opinion - last chance to build any kind of confidence and momentum. I also want the 3rd seed - there's no denying Can't is hot right now.

Don't forget Temple (9). I'm sure the MAC office isn't too pleased. Sure hope the guys are doing their job in the classroom for JD and KD.

That's a damn shame ... like I tell my kids: Can't read, Can't write,

The playoff graphic on TV last night was based on "If MAC play were to end tonight, ..." and did not try to project what would happen the rest of the week through Saturday.

48 - 27 Can't at the half. Why even bother OU?!

Wow, that's a tough one. Watching all of the hoity-toity OU fans walk out of the JAR yesterday with long faces was a wonderful thing. I HATE Can't with a passion but root for OU?!?! I'm gonna have to sleep on that one ...

Bummer that Idbihi and Mario Jordan both fouled out earlier - especially Idbihi. Here we go ... come on Buffalo, a little help?!

Buffalo layup and Can't foul. Buffalo made throw to tie 93-93. Can't timeout w/5 seconds to go ...

Can't's Big Ugly made 1 of 2 to make it a 3 point game Can't. Buffalo ball w/21 seconds to go after timeout ...

Sorry for stomping on your posts zipfan 81

OT ... Middleton hit a 2 to tie!

13.7 seconds, Can't 81-79, Buffalo to inbound ...

Buffalo up by 2 with 1:12 to go ... Buffalo ball after timeout ...

We can go 9-10 deep and not lose too much depending on the rotation. Looks like that's a bit deeper than Nevada @ 7 deep? My son and I are flying out from Akron tomorrow afternoon and are looking forward to Friday night. I work for an airline and it looks good for stand-by availability out and back. Really looking forward to the game - sure hope Akron shows up with their 'A' game!

Can't is up on Buffalo 42-40 at the half. For those of you outside of the Akron area or unable to pick up the local Can't broadcast, you can go to http://www.teamline.cc/sportpages.html?tea...&eventcode=0021to listen to Buffalo's radio broadcast via the web. You'll have to enter an e-mail address and optional phone number but that is about it. Second half is about to start. Sure beats listening to Can't's Bill Needle!

Looks like Nevada is averaging 8100 fans a game at home. Their place holds a little over 11000.

Joe Dunn ... like nails on a chalkboard with his tinny voice. I LOVE homers but Joe has never seen a game he didn't think "Akron could get outta here with the win." Like the guy said in a previous post - take him out back and beat him with his trumpet! :chair:Stams does do a very nice job with football. :thumb:Are there ANY decent signals in the area that reach all of us? I agree that 88.1 WZIP is the logical place for Akron broadcasts. No problem getting it out here in Norton. I talked to someone at Akron a couple of weeks ago and he said WZIP controls their own programming and they simply weren't interested when approached to do the broadcasts about 5 years ago. Hopefully Mack Rhoades can leverage the recent athletic success at Akron in soccer, football, and basketball to get WZIP to reconsider. FM has to be the way to go - AM has too much variability.

Have any of you listened to Bill Needle over at Can't or the guy doing Cleveland State games? I think we are fortunate to have someone like Steve French calling our games. Love the enthusiasm he brings to his call of the games. OK, so he gets on the officials - WHY SHOULDN'T HE TELL IT THE WAY IT IS?! MAC officials suck and have for YEARS!!!! Keep Steve French - he does a decent job and, like KD, WANTS TO BE HERE!

Great big giant sucking sound - can't win if you can't score. VERY weak (non-existent?) inside game and the 3s just weren't there today. Gotta regroup and take care of business against Western.

Put me down for a chance at national exposure. If we win - a feather in our cap, positive national exposure, and I would think it would only help our RPI assuming the team we play has a similar RPI. If we lose - bummer, possible negative national exposure, and I guess we're not quite where we want to be yet. Frankly, I'm tired of watching Louisville, Kentucky, and UConn - looking forward to watching Akron at Nevada!

Is anyone aware of any effort at the U of A to find a radio station with a stronger, more reliable (FM?) signal? We live in Norton (8-10 miles from campus) and I have to subscribe to the Internet broadcast if I want to listen to Zip broadcasts. Signal is OK for the most part from Akron out route 224/76 to Cleveland-Massillon Road. Once we exit and head into Norton, goodbye signal. Parts of Copley are the same way. I had no problem with reception outside of the Wolstein Center in CLEVELAND!? the other night. REALLY FRUSTRATING!
