I also checked this out since some bad info has been posted recently. Way to go coaching staff. We also moved up two spots to 62 on the Rivals team recruiting chart. Ohio is a distant third in MAC recruiting. Go zips! :macc:

A bit harsh, don't you think? We all have opinions and we all support the team. Let's leave the insults for the opponents. Working in the fourth guard would certainly help at the end of the game. I worry about fouls when the guards are spent and reaching with their arms instead of moving the feet. We can't have these guys getting into foul trouble, especially if the game is close at the end.I guess it's true that posters select screen names that describe themselves. <Moderator Snip>??? -
I also worry about the loss of big leads but the end result is the most important thing and this team grinds it out.

Yes on Morelli. Harvey doesn't list Akron on his school choices but is interested in PSU. We open against them this year and they sure could help us right away.

On Frenchie's show last night he mentioned that the game will have MAC officials. I also agree that this is a good draw for the team although it would have been nice to have a closer game. These are young guys and the travel should have a lot less effect on them. This may help them get ready for travel when we become :macc: !!!I agree with some of your points about playing Nevada. But this may be a set-up toeliminate the Zips from at-large considerations. How do you know they will get a fairshake from the refs???? -
screw them. we have the best slogan on it's own. we don't need to even mention that shithole on our t-shirts. fear the roo. that's it
I agree with ftbr. They're just yellow (like their uni's) with envy at our success. As for UAM, he looks good regardless what k ent does.Did anyone see that sorry excuse for an ad in the Beacon on Sunday. Ouch! That was, without question, the most juvenile, unprofessional ad I have EVER seen in a paper. Can't sure makes UAM look good! -
A very good hire. It doesn't hurt that he was the main recruiter at Indiana. Now lock up those zip recruits left wondering. Then a :macc: followed by an ncaa championship.
-
I agree with ftbr. Even with k ent's history of success, they were left out last year. We will add bball to the :macc: listforget about an at large birth. this is the MAC and we're akron. we don't have the respect YET from those who don't know us. we may be very deserving but that won't mean much. -
Agreed. Let's get it done! :macc:

I would have to disagree with your assessment of Steve French. He is a true professional who tells it like it is. If we stink, he'll say so. He gives a real sense of the emotion of the game. I think he's actually quite exciting to listen to, especially when we play well. That's part of being a good broadcaster. He and Joe Dunn are very knowlegeable and offer excellent insight into the game and that includes their football broadcasts. Keep on listening, I'm sure he'll grow on you.I still don't like Frenchie all that much either. We get down by 2 or 3 early in the second half and he gets that "woe is me" tone to his voice. I know he's been around a lot of crap here in Akron over the years but it gets depressing listening to him.

Get over yourself and see if the free clinic or for lack of one, a veterinarian will help you out and give you the medicine you so desperately need! :macc:Very poor showing.........actual try NO showing by your Ak-Rowdies. Seriously--where were you guys?? I saw about 5 Akron fans there who apparently did not know how to cheer, clap, or speak! Then again, you get only about 5 fans per home game (which in your arena is a capacity crowd! -
Take the keys away from ohiofan. Definately high on something. Must be partying with frank-the-tank! :macc:Our athletic programs on the whole are superior to yours. And yes, next year you will lose to us in football--I guarantee that. We will be much improved and vying for the East title. Our recruiting class is rated 2nd in the MAC by Rivals.com as well. -
I can't find it here. What's up with the site? Can only find Dec. 8 and older.You can pick up a hard copy of the Buchtelite tomorrow morning on campus or visit our site: www.buchtelite.com. -
I too like the idea of a retro look with lots of brick, wrought iron, arches, etc. Some of these items can be added at a later date but the provisions to add these things I believe need to be part of the original design. Parking will be a key factor and they need to try to put parking on all sides of the stadium to ease with the congestion when exiting. No one will want to park at Polsky deck if they put the stadium behind the rec center. They should have room for groups to tailgate. I haven't given this too much thought but these are some ideas I hope they endorse.

The article starts with him mentioning the correct team. He does change the team later in the article. It's not a huge mistake but a bigger problem for the Beacon if as you mention it happens in every article, what are the editors doing? With a 4 page sports page on most days, which also contains advertisements, what is the sports editor doing with all his/her time? It's not unreasonable for professional journalists to get the story straight. Mr Gaffney's mistake was minor compared to other miscues in the Beacon. Now that they have seen the light, I hope they continue to follow their home town university.Get over it - The BB coverage has been excellent. Gafney is doing a good job and a little misprint and lack of editing and you are all over it. Good grief - get a life. It happens in every article in the Beacon. -
Point 2 - This is a football post, what are your opinions about the new FOOTBALL stadium?
If you read through all the posts you'll see that I addressed the Zips need for a new football stadium and basketball arena. I was responding to another post about my opinion of the JAR from the same original post. I believe the priority should be to put a new football stadium on campus and then address the basketball arena. "Tiny" Cameron Indoor Stadium seats 9314, similar to the original projected capacity (9500) of the JAR which is now 5500. People were physically smaller when those facilities were built. Go sit in a seat at Memorial Hall and see what you think. Let Duke worry about their own buildings, I'm talking about Akron's facilities. I still believe the JAR was inadequate when it was built and looks like a fancy high school gym. The video scoreboard is very nice but a more recent addition. The Rubber Bowl is too far from campus and too expensive to fix. If you've never been to Miami's football stadium it's worth a look and should be a blueprint for what we build here. Whatever is eventually built, I hope they leave provisions to enlarge or improve these new facilities so we can end up with buildings that are the envy of the league. :macc:Point 1 - Yes the JAR needs some improvements, but how is it so much worse than say Dukes tiny Cameron Indoor stadium? It's older, very cramped (knees in the backs of spectators in front of you), only has bleachers, and no video scoreboard....... Yet, the Devils are doing fine! -
The contracts have escape clauses. Strike while the iron's hot. Build the best MAC facility and move the team with the coach. Why can't Akron be the next Va. Tech.??? :macc:
-
That's a monster vault! Way to go Mr. Russell.
-
If he doesn't want Akron so be it. Instead of working harder to earn the minutes he felt he deserved he chose to transfer. This team has a ton of upside with or without Bubba. We get a scholarship back and he's not part of something special here at Akron. Let's call that a push and move on.
-
I see that sarcasm has escaped you. That is my point, the JAR is an embarassment. We agree on that point! No homer here. :macc:
-
The JAR is one of the nicest high school gymnasiums I have had the pleasure of seeing. It's time for the University to build appropriate facilities for the basketball and football teams. If they are different facilities, the football stadium should proceed first to bring the program on campus. With the continued success of the football team, the basketball arena would soon follow.
Anybody going to Tommy Evans tomorrow?

The MAC report has our signing time as 3:30 but Tommy Gelehrter said 5:00 on the broadcast last night. Does anyone know for sure what time this is supposed to happen?
