I think Creighton is a great match-up for us. I like the prospective return game next year. I wish we played more MVC and Horizon League teams in the OOC schedule. I also think that for the sake of local interest, CSU and YSU should be on the schedule every year.

I am hoping for a game that goes into 4 overtimes, and I don't care who wins. An extended game could provide the emotional and physical exhaustion both teams need to collapse going down the stretch. It would be a great start to Can't's stretch of 5 games in 10 days, which is rough enough with all games ending in regulation. This guarantees that I don't have to root for Can't or the Sweaters.

I guess Caleb Porter is never eligible then. What a great problem to have. I will trade MAC COTY awards for NCAA Championships all day! Seriously though, if KD wins 4 of the next 6 or more and makes the MACC game (regardless of outcome), he's got my vote. The turnaround has been night and day. More than anything, this proves to me he can coach. It is easy to stand back and watch your more talented team win, but it takes a true teacher and coach to right the ship. Way to go KD! I believe. Oh, and of course,

I think it's cool we just evened up the all-time series with BUGS too. What a way to do it.

I think we will get 20 wins after all. Let's keep this up.

I believe! It should be a fun end to the season. Play likes this makes it even worse that we lost to NIU and EMU. I think a big difference is that it sounds like the guys are having fun playing. Amazing shooting doesn't hurt either.

I am confused, what did we win?

Because he was the only Cleveland pro athlete worth a crap last year. Yet another example of Cleveland screwing Akron. They can't even give the ultimate respect to true champions. The first "NE Ohio" Championship since 1964, and we don't win. Figures. Other than Case, the Cleveland Clinic, NASA, and the Metroparks/Zoo, Cleveland is a hole in the ground. Oh, and the Mongolian Barbeque is pretty stellar too. The next bad bad thing to happen to Cleveland will be Continental/United removing the hub from Hopkins. It will happen. They don't even use their waterfront well.

If only holes on the offensive line opened this easily on the field in 2010...

+1 he's a punk He is polarizing that's for sure. Add him to the list of things you shouldn't talk about at work or on a first date in addition to politics and religion.

There is an Akron alum who is head coach of a solid Coastal Carolina program who I recommended to the administration for Ken Lolla's position. We are very lucky to have Coach Porter, and I am glad things worked out the way they did. However, I think Shaun Docking would be a great fit for UNC because he already knows the NC area and has done great things with a small scale program. He also has the Akron soccer brand on his resume, which can't hurt either. http://www.goccusports.com/sports/m-soccer...ng_shaun01.html I am kind of disappointed. Where are Z.I.P. and MDZip to comment on this?

Don't blame Zeke for the team never working the ball to him. Sure he could be more aggressive but tonight he played defense about 90% of perfect and was in great position to take the ball a dozen times while only getting half that. I wasn't blaming Zeke for anything. We won. I was simply saying we need more of a contribution from him to be successful in the MAC Tourney. Whether he needs to step up himself or the team needs to get him more involved, I don't know. I have a feeling it is a combination of the two. When watching recently, I didn't get the sense that he was being assertive in demanding the ball on offense though.

Do we have room??? From Top Drawer Soccer............. Despite finishing in a tie for second (behind AkronTop Drawer Soccer) in our chat audience poll asking who had the best incoming class, North Carolina has garnered the most Top 100 players with six. Jordan McCrary, Darvin Ebanks, Miguel Lopez, Ryan Dodson, Jon Ray and Cooper Vandermaas will all be donning the Carolina blue. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...igning-Day-news Doubt it happens for a couple of reasons: 1. School has to release players once they sign LOI. If player leaves without official release then they must sit out Freshman year. I seriously doubt UNC would release any of these guys 2. I believe that several are from North carolina and environs so they may not wanna leave UNC. BTW...in response to the question of whether Porter leaves for UNC a "very reliable source" at Zips soccer program said "Haha no" a little while ago. With the National Championship in hand at a soccer school, why would Coach Porter leave? I was at the UNC game this year. Their fans and facilities don't come close to comparing to ours! His situation couldn't be improved by going to another school. The only thing I see Coach Porter leaving for is Head Coach of the Men's National Team.

To me, the box score tells the story of this game. (I was unable to watch or listen.) The Zips shoot 38% from 3 and well in general from the floor and line. WMU is 0-12 from 3. If those stats are more even, the game is a toss up. We live and die by the 3. Looks like a good game from Nik and Brett. Zeke's stats are still underwhelming. I hope he gets it going before the MAC Tourney.

Why doesn't my UPS driver look like that?

It won't happen. They are more worried about same sex marriage and abortion to worry about fiscal issues important to 99% of Americans. I don't even know why these things are issues other than they have implications for religious beliefs, which IMO have no place in politics. Same sex marriage is a universal inevitability, and the Supreme Court has ruled on abortion, so no major changes will be made to it. We have a hundred problems more important than these.

I'm not. I'm a real conservative who is desperately concerned the conservative message has been hijacked by a group of complete fools who have sixteenth century ideas about science and childish religious views (Evangelicals). I don't even know what the Republican/conservative message is anymore. It sounds more like Charlie Brown's teacher with a few key phrases like "socialism" dropped in. There is never a plan discussed...just anti-liberalism and anti-Democrat. All I believe we would get from Republicans being in charge is a larger military budget, tax breaks (particularly to the wealthy) that we can't afford, and more religion infused into government.

This country needs fiscal conservancy to maintain itself. The Republicans don't make me believe this would happen if they had control.

At least we can all agree on one thing:

I am not a flaming liberal either. Both parties are terrible and don't represent the average person. They only represent two perfectly opposing extremes.

Yep, both were open and shut cases in which radicals committed terrible acts and millions of people were hoodwinked into believing in crazy conspiracies. You must be a sheep. Baaaaaa! I bet you are way too quick to even consider such events as possible, so you immediately dismiss them without considering facts or watching the movie/documentary. If true, it is exactly this kind of mentality and attitude that would allow these things to happen. I am not saying these events happened exactly the way described by others in books/movies in any absolution. However, they are definite possibilities, and there are reasons the real truth is hidden. Single assissins and terrorists can't change parade routes, have the military stand down, have a limo of evidence immediately rebuilt, botch an autopsy, or host war games on the exact same day of the exact same scenario that is happening as part of a terrorist act. A steel and concrete building falling because of fire is completely unprecedented let alone after only "burning" for about an hour. Nor do buildings that are pancaking floors as described by the 9/11 Commission fall at free fall speed and get reduced to pure dust and conveniently short steel pillars. Why were thermal hotspots (via IR satellite) and molten steel found in the basement of the World Trade Centers found a month after the collapse? The list of such things goes on and on. Your faith and trust in people with infinite money and power staggers me.

Dwight Smith won a Super Bowl playing with Tampa. He even had two interception returns for TD's and would have been a likely choice for MVP had it not already been awarded before his second interception return.

Downright scary, and oh surprise, the Great GP1 is right again. (No sarcasm there either.) I love how FoxNews claims to be "fair and balanced" yet has over a quarter of its air time devoted to Republican/conservative propaganda. FoxRadio is even worse with nearly 24 hours per day of this crap. I don't believe all other media is so liberally biased that such a slant is justified either. Let's be honest though, Democrats are not great either...they just have real leadership in place that aren't a bunch of talking heads. People who follow this stuff in any absolution on either side of the aisle are nothing more than sheep. I love how these guys claim to be upholding moral values through conservative politics and yet someone like Rush has been married four times...talk about protecting the sanctity of marriage. Most of them also claim to see it as their responsibility to "educate" the public on conservative issues yet are high school and college drop outs. Regardless of formal education, a truly educated person seeks out information on their own and makes up their own mind rather than having it all spoon fed to them. Every aspect of this culture fascinates and amazes me. Consider Rush Limbaugh's ~$100 million dollar per year salary. You really don't believe that LifeLock and other small companies pay enough in advertising dollars to support this behemoth, do you? What/who supports the rest of his income? Big business? I honestly don't know, but nothing would surprise me. The back and forth struggle between liberals and conservatives is only meant to distract everyone from asking deeper questions about the government, media, and big business and how they all operate together. Watch JFK or Loose Change if you have your doubts. Donald Sutherland's character in JFK says it all, and 9/11 is our generation's version of JFK.
