Will be very interesting to see how quickly Lane can adjust as he has NFL size. The team should have some much needed size at WR and TE this year. As for the article I read it as "We're really trying to give Chapman the job". Hope he's up for the task as he's a special athlete.

Heard Joe D mention Akron possibly playing Bradley in Vegas on the radio today. I am guessing that Akron is using some of the money set aside from last year when they didn't participate in any post season trouney's. Could be a very fortuitous move by KD and the AD.

Doesn't look like it. It does look like they played in the same league.

He gone http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/ncaab/asu/2015/04/09/bobby-hurley-hired-as-asu-basketball-coach/25529185/

I can't remember where or when I heard this but I remember KD saying that the staff has started to look into areas that produces good basketball players that doesn't have a lot of mid majors. Texas is a perfect example as there are a few major schools and a lot of lower tier schools. Where as Ohio has a few major schools and a ton of mid major schools. I love the concept.

I imagine next years team to be a lot like some of KD's old teams with 3 guards. Playing inside out ball. Hope either Ivy or Williams is ready to contribute right away.

Akron has no room to talk this year.

makes sense....just seemed like a really fast first half. Duke NCST started at 7 and there's 12 min to go in the first half

How is the Toledo EMU game already going to halftime??? Thought it was starting at 7. Will really mess with people not paying attention to the game that think Akron will tip at 9

That is for the championship game only if I remember that announcement correctly

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/malady Definition of malady listed above. Also, if I remember correctly, there has been reference to Pat having this issue earlier in the season. If that is correct, I'm guessing he's done for the year as he can no longer take the pain. That's a tough condition to play with. Here's hoping the Zips have some late season magic left in them! Can't StateCKS GO ZIPS!

KD said on the post game that Williams will be playing immediately.

I realize that this team is very young but this is the weakest team KD has had mentally. Guys like Reggie, Jake, and Niles just vanish. I'll give Kwan and Antino a pass as they are really young but they have to get tougher. The team who wanted it more won today. If UB makes their foul shoots they win going away. Great performance by Deji tonight.

BG goes down. OU doesn't show up against Can't and UT puts the smack down on WMU

with that height and weight I wouldn't be surprised if they are looking at him like a Cody Grice. Undersized DT with some speed.

He's from Florida. I'm guessing the connection is on that end.

100 likes for lot 9 becoming the official tailgating lot. Make sure they don't price people out. The idea is to have that lot have an amazing atmosphere.

Akron, aside from last years collapse, owns WMU. Completely agree with a complete game and excellent defensive performance. For those who like to pick on KD look at how he totally out coached Hawkins last night. Great game plan of wearing down WMU with a heavy rotation. Also, love the change in looks. Switching from zone to man while in the same possession. WMU was confused all night on O. Let's hope this is the start of a team that's hitting an uptick.

Good article. I think this quote backs up your point Capt. This fall, Houston, another member of Temple's American Athletic Conference, debuted $158 million TDECU Stadium. Though the Cougars went 8-5 and earned an Armed Forces Bowl bid, crowds were smaller than anticipated. On some Saturdays, the 40,000-seat facility was less than half-full. "You usually have to accompany a new stadium with a winning football team," Schemmel said. "Akron has gotten better, but they're not over the top yet. And I think Houston experienced the same thing. They had a mediocre season, and they didn't fill up their stadium the way they thought they would."

The team needs the minimum from Puppy Chow and he has not done that thus far Where has Jake's game gone? Hustle points for sure but the kid is passing up open looks now. I'm concerned. Never thought I'd type this but the on the pressure Nyles is applying is fun to watch. I agree with all of the BJ accolades. Looks like he lost some weight and was moving a little quicker and getting more lift. I didn't see that earlier in the year. Pat's close to being a top MAC player. Just needs a little more strength and to play with a bit more of mean streak. Speaking of streak.... this team is really young so I expect this team to have moments where they look like a team that can win the MAC and moments where they make you want to pull your hair out. Last night was a prime example of that. KD will earn his paycheck this year. Very eager to see how the Zips match up against the MAC elite.
