i was down in akron visiting a friend for dinner and suggested the lizard knowing the broadcast was there. i was a little bummed as i could barely hear the questions. the only question i heard was when do you consider the freshmen, no longer freshmen? k.d. reply.....now.

watching the film he has good touch on the ball and once he gets his foot work down (it's really bad) he'll increase his arm strength. in the rivals article he is quoted that he knows he will red shirt and he is fine with that. this is a great pick up and this class is looking very strong!

thanks for sticking around hugo! have you gotten used to the weather up here yet? i sure haven't and i was born up here...best of luck next year!

ok time for a history lesson on the term ak rowdies. first of all its a pretty new term and very new to the university. the term ak rowdy became popular a few years back with a rap song called ak rowdy ( pretty good song by vic?). from there it sprung from the streets to the university and now is the name for one of the best student groups in the mac! while the student turn out has been a little up and down this year it is growing. i just wish the university posted more signs about upcoming games. i am an alum but i think all that is around campus is the sign heading into the jar and the sign on the walk way heading from the parking deck to robs. if there are any others please let me know.....hope i'm wrong

i think this quote from k.d. sums it up pretty wellOn the difference between this season's team and those of recent seasons:“I think we don’t have many playmakers. We just don’t have anybody who can come in and take control of the game. And the one guy (Brett McKnight) that can score a little bit, I can’t leave on the floor because he doesn’t guard. I started him in the second half and the first five points are his. And that’s not his fault, we have to teach him to play better, but he needs to be on the floor for us to have any chance offensively. Humpty (Hitchens) and (Steve) McNess can play, they were just a bit dead-legged tonight. I thought Darryl Roberts played a bit better tonight.” side note....it's nice to see c mcknight picking his game up. now, if they could just teach him how to rebound.

would be a bummer if cruz leaves as he should be the starting te next year.

based off the rivals article it appears he only had one other offer from bg and he wasn't hearing from them (read Can't was his only offer)

he also had a big fumble recovery in the 3rd.

good to see Andy stepping up for the Fins! here's an article about his first startclick me

very good hire for EMU.....good luck!click me

looks like i needs to check my grammar.....thanks for keeping me on my toes z!

you could have had prime time, night train lane, ronnie lott, and woodson back there and they still would have gotten toasted with the lack of pass rush. the secondary is fine. the front seven needs to get to the qb or it will turn into a touch football game with the linemen counting to 10 mississippi before doing anything.

Can't wins by 8. side note watched the last few min of the csu cuse game with csu winning on a 70ft bank shot. good for the vikes.

if it were any other coach i'd understand the move but hoke is a bsu alum. just a little surprised took a tough job like sdsu.

Zips win....I have to admit....I'm surprised at any game where McNees would get more minutes than Roberts. I'm not seeing an equal skill set there. I think Roberts should clearly have the most minutes as the 2-guard.being at the game roberts as lost some confidence. i would think that with a team so young this will be a musical chairs type situation as roberts will get hot and then mcnees will be down etc etc. kd will just have to feel this out as the season plays out.

I'll second that!

i'll also add a few thoughts as this was my first game in person. 1. with all the zeke talk i'll start with props to the rowdies for singing happy b day to the big man during and game. i know he also got a kick out of the banner.2. only cirtique of humpty is that he tries to dribble out of traps too much. when the team calmed down in the second half and worked the ball in the middle to jimmy they were much more effective on o.3. jimmy was the mvp last night! he was the most active player and was a load on the offensive boards. even if he doesn't live up to all the hype i certainly see him as a mike scott type and i'll take that!4. k.d. said earlier in the year that this team will put a few more grey hairs on his head and boy he wasn't kidding! this team can look so good for a 3-4 min. stretch and then look like they've never played the game for the next two. coach was had no voice prior to the game although i heard he let the team have it during half time. if you look up def. of a young team you'd see the zips team photo.5. b mcknight is the teams only low post treat. the teams needs to work on him getting the ball and he really needs to learn how to re post if he isn't getting the ball.6. is c mcknight turning into this years jimmy???? lets hope not this team really needs him.7. eric coblentzl is a grinder! may not be the most athletic guy be gives his all and will contribute to the team.8. really enjoy the effort of this team. they simply wore out nc a&t as the were relentless on d and were the deeper team.9. point 8 really shows just how good of a coach k.d. and his staff is. if he isn't the best in the conference he's right up there. and his his staff did a great job working with the players as they came off the floor. sat right behind the bench and saw all the assistants call for players to sit next to them to go over the game and what they needed to improve or see on the court. props to whole coaching staff.10. had a blast at the game and was pretty happy with the fan turn out considering the circumstances. this team will only get better!

thanks for the updates! :wave:

well ub did lose by 4 but ub had the ball to tie the game with the shot clock turned off. pierce played great for the bulls scoring 25 i think? but made a poor decision to end the game. watching uconn's center made me really excited for next year as their center has a very similar build to zeke's. uconn's center finished with 20 and 17.

the ub game is a fianl? i have if on the tube right now. fliping between that and the csu butler game. is it a slight tape delay?

per gozips.comAKRON, Ohio – Tuesday's University of Akron men's soccer game versus Ohio State – originally scheduled for 7:30 p.m. – has been postponed until Wednesday due to unplayable field conditions at Lee Jackson Field.The rescheduled game will begin at 2 p.m. Wednesday at nearby St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School.For directions, please follow this link.

i am guessing they recovered an onside kick to force ot????? they really are living a charmed life

guess it's the bulls year? congrats ub!
