still looking for one extra ga ticket..... please pm if you have any info thanks

a few thoughts i'd like to add1. i think k.d. did a fantastic job yesterday. seemed to keep the team fresh, spread the floor and slowed the game down and fed the post when williams was out, offensive and defensive subs. 2. with c. mcknight stepping up his game this team reminds me of last years team with wood and mcknight playing hi low and the guards moving the ball around to get open shots. this is the best ball movement the team has had all year! 3. i didn't count but this was the most amount of dunks that i've seen in the k.d. era. way to attack the hoop.4. nit picking here but when you get to the one and one point with 10 min to go you need to take advantage of it. they really should have opened up the game at that point.5. about a week ago i suggested that akron go to the zone since they couldn't guard anyone. man was i wrong. got to give props to coach and major props to ced and c. mcknight. with ced playing the passing lanes and mcknight getting a little more physical on the blocks it has really opened things up for the zips.can't wait for sunday and for the tourney to start!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zipfan34 please check e mail....thanks

the lizard by the Q had it on two of their big screens.....props to the lizard!

Anyone else notice how the headline is "Can't State Game at UA is Sold Out." Way to go leakin' urinal.they are a garbage paper, hopefully one day we can live in a Akron without crappy agenda filled news....and hey, anyone got 1 extra ticket that i could buy off them for Sunday? I have one idiot friend who didn't get his ticket even though i reminded him every day for 2 weeks. He will pay for it....and a student ticket would do even.i wasn't a journalism major but the heading was Can't State vs UA and that would be grammatically correct. while if the heading was Can't vs Akron then they would have flipped it. true the abj isn't that great but they have increased their coverage of UA over the past 3-5 years. hey, it's a start.

if anyone is looking towards the downtown cleveland area the winking lizard by the Q will be showing it.

i called the ticket office to see if that included student tickets and they said yes. they gave out tickets on friday and if there were any left they were available to the public. i would assume the same goes for zippy passes. i am happy i already bought my tickets in advance see you guys at b-w's and at the game!

looks like cant will play B.C. in this years Patriot Bowl click me

here's a story about the recent crime off campus from the pd. i personally think that the story is going a little overboard but do agree that perception is reality with image. lets hope this was more of a blip and a trend. click me

roberts and b mcnight back to back three's!!!!! up 12 wood at the line to add on. live by the three, die by the three. right now we are alive and kicking.......

up 7 with 15 min to go nate just picked up his 4th foul and has yet to score. frenchy has said the game is horrible and 10 times so far. also with 2 min to go ohio has scored 14 pts. against miami :blink:

only up 4 at half. very sloppy game. more t.o. than assists. ced playing very well again. leading all scorers with 11. they handle the ball better in the 2nd half and step it up after k.d. reems them during the break and they'll be fine.

here are some links as to what some scouts are saying about Jabari and Natejabarinate

it's simple really the next coach would rather have size, speed, or both. the next coach always thinks they can "coach up" talent rather than draft a guy like blackburn who has gotten the most out of his body and with a ton of heart made a nfl roster. i agree that ja doesn't have the best hands and nate doesn't have a ton of heart but they are both huge for their respective pos. ja will be drafted for sure, i am guessing 5-6th round and someone will take nate based on his size alone. remember allemen was drafted so high up because of all that he did at akron, it was his size, speed, and upside that landed him in the 3rd round (maybe 4th).....also good joke on the 3-3-5

if the MAC gives them a home game on the 13th it will not be that bad although it's sad to be ok with three road games every year. i sure hope this changes once the info is dropped!

looks like another wallace pendelton to me. but hey, if a pwo can contribute then it has to be considered a good pick up! best of luck to the young man

if he can run in the 4.5's some team will take a flyer on him. it's hard to find big productive wr. and speaking of size, don't be surprised to see big nate get drafted. he may not have a high motore (heart) but he has size and is athletic. with a weak wr. and dt. class, look for both to get drafted and corner and tate to get an invite.

i am not knocking either way of scheduling but just a question.....since can't's way has worked so well in the past then why haven't they received an at large bid in the pat 10yrs? i'm not saying....i'm just saying....

so what is the schedule then? is kentucky out or su? it safe to assume that army and wis. are locks and i hope cincy hasn't snaked their way out of a trip to the bowl. with this said, this could turn into another mac scheduling fiasco just like last year.

lost by ONLY 2-3 touchdowns because Tressel calls off the dog!!s..if he really thrashed the MAC teams like he could, how many would play him? please..LOTS! they pay pretty well. don't agree with it but that's the nature of NCAA football.

yes it sucks that Akron lost but they deserved to take the L today. both teams played great D and VCU hit more shots. Akron shoots the ball better they win. i was pleased with what i saw today though. wood will get more strength in his leg and continue to get better. ced looks like he has enough in the tank to play at a high level for the remainder of the season. i've been critical of b. mcnight on this board but he played a very good game and if the brother's mcnight can continue to play at this level Akron will be able to make the MAC finals with a chance to win. can't say i was happy with the outcome but they'll shoot better and they'll get better.

found a nice site that shows us at 88. there is a cool feature that allows you go as far back to 99 and look at final record, rpi, and opponents rpi. thought some at the nation would find it as interesting as i did. click me

I know having the games on TV during the week gives more exposure to the conference and universities, but does it really help? Can most fans get to those games easily on a Tuesday or Wednesday night? Especially when these games are typically in the cold of November?its seems to have worked well for the MWC and the WAC so far with CSUA making strides. if akron starts winning more they will be fine. i do agree that it takes away from the tailgating experience but hopefully with the new stadium on campus more students can start to tailgate after class. i know i would have! .

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do you like that! ced drops in two to ice the game! big win......big win.....big win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lots of ups and downs so far but akron is hanging in there....up by three McNess just made a costly t.o.
