My Magic 8 Ball says ... "Kraft Mac & Cheese special 5-packs will be flying off of the shelves at Giant Eagle stores in Akron!" (yes, it's a VERY large 8 Ball!)Zips 70BG 65(BG scores last 10 points of the game)

"My guys are ready to go dancing. We are not quite there yet when it comes to playing Arkon, especially if it means honoring the fact that we owe them the next game at their place. Please ... no more questions regarding why I won't play Arkon. The bug up my a$$ is a private matter and I wish it to remain that way."

I'm not a big fan of all of the alphabet soup post-season tourneys BUT our young Zips can use all of the Big-Dance-like experience they can get. It's going to be a lot of fun the next few years with Humpty, Zeke, the McKnights and Company. liljc's got the right idea (win 23 and you're in The Big Dance for sure) but let's hope Akron is playing somewhere after Cleveland.

What a pic! LOVE the expressions on the faces of the Akron players on the bench.KD said it well in one of the post-game interviews ... Humpty isn't afraid to fail. That should serve him well the rest of his life and provide us with a lot of excitement while he wears Akron Blue and Gold.

Not so fast, A-Zip. The Can't administration must have scrubbed your version of one of the pics. Here's the original ...

My son and I watched the George Mason/VCU game last night. I couldn't help but think of the impact His Zekeness could have on Akron's fortunes as we watched VCU's Sanders do his thing at both ends of the court (blocks, jams). We also wondered whether Humpty can become Zeke's Maynor!

Thanks ZW. Definitely planning to give "the street" a try before heading to the box office and forking over $17 apiece.

My son and I are going today but I'm not happy at all about it. Take care of business, I keep a chunk of change in my pocket, and don't have to show up at The Q until Thursday.No pep bands today? Fits right in with no rushing the floor at the end of the final game and sticking students way up in the nose bleed seats. Way to create that special college basketball atmosphere ... the MAC just sucks.

Can't must have that special "something" ... that special character/team make-up ... that makes them "appealing" to the bookies/odds makers in Vegas! Easy to do business with maybe?

To look at them all decked out in pee-yellow Can't T-shirts in the middle of one of the Can't student sections and then the other, all the while 'cheering' for Can't you'd NEVER suspect they're actually Rowdies. I had 'Zippy' next to me pointing them out - what a hoot. You'd think SOMEONE at Can't would be wise to them by now ... but, then again, it's Can't.The undercover Rowdies were able to successfully enlist the services of at least one Can't idiot, tried to entice a second, but decided not to push things too far and settled for the idiot holding one end of the banner while one of the undercover guys slowly unfurled the banner. These two guys belong in the Rowdy Hall of Fame I say!

This year's Akron-at-Can't AK-Rowdy banner was MORE than appropriate ...

For whatever reason, Can't always seems to have a Big Ugly in the middle. Unfortunately, their big uglies can also post numbers in the final box score. We have no middle - NONE!

Outstanding draws and times in my opinion. LOVE that I won't miss any work (or my son any school) AND that we get Toledo followed by Miami.The only down side ... Miami games are bad enough but 9:30PM??? Will DEFINITELY be drinking a large mug of coffee on the way up so I stand the best chance of staying awake!!!! Thanks for all of the updates everyone. What a crazy finish.

Any idea when we'll know game time on Tuesday ( )?

Ball State, Western, and CMU all go 7-9 to tie for "tops" in the west. Shouldn't going less than 500 in your own division automatically disqualify you from a bye?!?!? Gimme a break!

Thanks for trying to take some of the edge off Bleacher!

Control own destiny in football ... lose last 3.Control own destiny in basketball (bye and possibly MAC title) ... lose 2 of last 3.
