Akron had a nice recovery to the bad start. The seeding was fair as I would have ranked L ahead of UA too. Porter and Embick have done a nice job of scheduling up including highly-ranked teams at home. Tough to schedule to the level of an ACC schedule; the ACC is an excellent soccer conference. We've played very well down the stretch. Time to head to L and bring home the W - GO ZIPS!!!

Current forecast has temps in the mid-40s, dry, and manageable wind (10 or so). Looking forward to a great Saturday doubleheader - men's NCAA tourney soccer followed by men's basketball on the tube from Dayton. Go Zips!

All good. Have had season tix in the lower and upper chairbacks in the past. Enjoy kicking back in the bleachers at $2 per sit bone per game (can't beat it). Looking forward to an arena someday where all seats are chairback; will pony back up then.

My problem is the fanny experience. I swear the sit-bone indentations on the bleachers where I'm sitting are the ones I put there back in the OVC years '83-'88. I'll take Fenway-style scoring and stats if I can get more blue chairbacks! ;-)

Might have been a halftime or timeout quick display. I specifically recall my son pointing out that no Akron player was in any kind of foul trouble fairly deep into the game.

I can confirm that the individual stats were shown at both games so far but I can't remember exactly when and for how long.

From Duquesne men's basketball site ... "Duquesne, which took a 48-47 lead on a Verhoeven tip-in with just under nine minutes to go, missed seven consecutive shots over the next eight minutes as Robert Morris built a 61-53 lead." L-O-N-G scoring droughts happened a bit too often for my liking in the past under Dambrot. Have to say I'm enjoying the fresh start so far. It appears that we have enough talent to be entertaining if not competitive until Groce and his staff build out their entire bench.

1st DOWN!!!

Table is set ...

OU was missing a big target in Cope.

NO FLAGS!

Big 4th down.

What a terrible series that was. Minimal clock usage.

Wow ... I'm 11:30 away from eating some serious crow. Salt and pepper are ready ...

Lonzo Ball's dad's brother.

Just watched the Alvin Davis targeting play over and over again on DVR replay. Davis was pleading a case that his face mask made contact. It was DEFINITELY the crown/top of the helmet. His head was down as he went in for the tackle.

Can't believe this offense tonight.

That helmet can't lead. It did.

Time to take Alvin Davis to the locker room, queue up the play and make him watch it over and over until he understands that it ISN'T BS - IT'S TARGETING! Idiot.

Holy crap!

... and the Zips special teams come through again! ;-)

Nice 3-and-out for the Akron D.

That's targeting. More undisciplined play.

We're watching Year 6 ... .

Who else is ready for Akron to just kick the ball out of bounds so ball placement is on the 35?
