  1. More money and free lemonade (at-large births).
  2. Do you 'whore yourself out' or continue to 'bring in the whores?' Per the Plain Dealer article, we brought in $300K for basketball home games and that didn't even cover half of KD's base salary. The 'whores' we brought in also didn't do much for our strength of schedule and at-large consideration. We won't get rich financially heading out on the road for 1 or 2 more road games but it might help SoS and at-large consideration. Beating a dead whorse but I'll gladly give up 1 or 2 cupcakes at home to see what we can do against better competition on the road. Who knows, it might also help us be a bit more ready to play under the bright lights of the MAC Championship game with a ticket to the Big Dance sitting right in front of us. I think this change is good for all parties involved. Good luck KD but remember one of the definitions of 'insanity' ... .
  3. ... is the NCAA, by chance, also experimenting with a 'mercy' rule in the NIT?
  4. NCAA absolutely NAILED NIT seeding! Way to go Zips!
  5. Why Johnson doesn't slam that one home I'll never, ever know ...
  6. 7-seed Belmont takes down 2-seed Georgia. Lower seeds winning all over the place ... ........ .
  7. I'd give my right eye so my left one could see Isiah slam one home instead of going for the soft layup.
  8. TDM & JW with beautiful 26-foot 3s!
  9. No tosu. Is that any way to treat a cash cow?!?
  10. Hand each player a mirror. That's where motivation starts.
  11. I really appreciate Rick's time at Akron and his commitment to the school, fan base, basketball program and KD. If he's interested in spreading hit wings to take that next step, I wish him absolutely nothing but the best and hope to see YSU on future home schedules (come on Rick, you KNOW we're tired of Coppin State, Malone, and Arkansas or North Carolina alphabet soup!). It will be interesting to see what success and philosophy he has regarding scheduling, offensive and defensive schemes, fostering intensity and focus and how his teams do when it ma... in crunch time.
  12. I just can't even stomach thinking NIT. Time to head off to bed ... .
  13. No question - big kudos to all of the Joe Akron's who came out to The Q tonight. The table was perfectly set, but ...
  14. Kent has a trailer on every shot. Ok, NEARLY every shot.
  15. 1 and 30 aren't going to touch big dog. Keep feeding him.
  16. Seemed to me the relatively large Akron contingent here tonight let out a collective "... meh ...." upon Akron's return to the court towards the end of halftime.
  17. To our stat people out there - how many extra possessions and points does Kent create for themselves by crashing the offensive boards vs points given up on run-outs? They always seem to want it more and play with higher energy.
  18. I have to root for B-U..F-F..A-L..O..OH! against Can't but I can't stand the thought of listening to B-U..F-F..A-L..O..OH! and O...H...I...O fans spelling their school names ALL NIGHT LONG! I know some of you like it and wish Akron fans had similar cheers but it's like nails on a chalkboard after a while! "WE ARE <clap, clap> KENT STATE!" on the other hand is like watching someone slap themselves silly. We can't denigrate Can't any worse than what they already do to themselves! Go Zips!
  19. Over-under on EMU fans in attendance? I'll go with 37.
  20. We sure will miss you Fred. I'm thankful our paths crossed in this Life. Rest in Peace my Friend.
  21. Coach just confirmed on pre-game that the games don't matter until next Thursday. Silly me for thinking momentum heading into the MAC tournament meant something or that wins in your league heading down the stretch just might have an impact on seeding in The Big Dance or to a (much-)lesser extent the NIT.
  22. Time to turn it around. Let's go Zips!
