No Way ! Deandre is not that handsome ! :DBy the way, did you guys hear that comercial saying that Geico's website is so easy that even a Can't man can use it ?

I also know that KD knows better than me but seriously do we need more than 7 guards in a team ?Dru JoyceCed MiddletonNick DialsDarryl RobertsZach SowersNick GoddardJeremy SalleeJimmy Conyers

That's a relief ! you're the man Matt !

I guess at this point in the season, we ak-rowdies must know each other so we should be able to identify any flushes amongst the rowdies and throw them out...Or may be try the acid test, give a quick IQ test to every one at the door, and those who score less than 70 would be easily identified as Can't staters.PS:Intelligence Quotient Test RatingsSource: The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth edition. Score Classification 132 and above Very superior 121-131 Superior 111-120 High average 89-110 Average 79-88 Low average 68-78 Slow learner 67 or below Mentally retarded

How about ak_rowdies ? how can we secure a seat ?

I second that idea because Ced. is being amasing and because of his brother thing. But if you guys want to use that against Dru than hell no !You might like Dru or hate him but you can not deny that he is the Maestro of this orchestra... Just look at how the opponents always guard him on a man to man basis to realize that he is the center piece of the team. I agree that some times his 3 pointers fall and some times they don't but he is the one you can trust to keep a minimum number of TO and make sure that the ball goes to the right person in the right time.

Wow ! Wow ! Wow ! hold your horses man ! :blink: I do not have a problem with the cops doing their job, for sure some of them are more classy and respectful than the others but in any case, i do not want to immagine a campus without a police department.My problem last Saturday was not with the cops, because the cops do not make the rules, they only enforce them... what's pissing me is that the athletic department people made a decision that the signs should go down and asked them to take our signs away. The athletic department people are those same people who ask us to make signs and be there early and they keep wondering why people don't show up for games and how can we have a better student section !!!

I hate to burst your bubble but i don't think that OU has any chances at Can't !And then i honestly don't care what Can't does... we control our destiny so we have to win our games and go to the Q and grab that championship...

It is too hard for you to understand this stuff flush fan !they teach this stuff at the Ph D level at Can't state !You might be more comfortable reading this sign:

Dude ! you certainly have some nerve to come hear and tell us that you almost beated us and that you will win at the Q!We go to athens, we lead by 10 at some point and we have a game with 7 lead changes and you win by 3 in a game that was decided in the last 10 seconds !You come to Akron, loose by 15 ... yes 15. You never had the lead, we were leading from the first second till the last. The closest you got to us in the second half was 5 points... come on now ! give me a break ! And Plus ! one thing that you are missing ! the Q is our home, we will definitely take more people to the Q than those we had today !

For the last few weeks, every body has been talking about the attendance issue and especially student attendance at home games. I personally attended all home games this season in addition to some away ones (@ ohio, @ BG, @ CSU and obviously @ Can't). The only reason why i am making this post is that i sincerely want the best possible college basketball experience at my beloved school. I know that the AD and his team and some students who are employed by the Ath. Dep. are trying hard and i do respect what they do and appreciate their efforts but it seems that they do not respect what we as die hard ak-rowdies are doing...In the meeting (Friday @ 6pm), the word was to be there early @ 2pm and to bring signs (since we are on nat. TV), and to be as loud as possible.20 hours later, (Saturday) @ 2pm, i was at the door, JAR's backdoor, a bunch of other people were also there and we were not allowed in because the doors will be open @ 3pm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we stood there for an hour wondering why would they tell us to come early if they won't let is in but oh well !The worst part happened when i was holding a sign during a time out and a police man came and told me to give him the sign. Very shocked and surprised, i asked him to read it to see that there is no obscenity or bad words in it and he said that he agrees that it is a clean sign but he still has to take it because:" SIGNS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THIS BUILDING" I tried to explain to him that people have signs all the times and that the ak-rowdies leaders are the ones who asked us to make them but it was a hopeless case. The man was very polite and he kept saying that he is sorry and that these are not his rules etc... so i surrendered my sign. I guess that i was lucky that i had to deal with the nice policeman while the other one who came to take away other people's signs was yelling and threatening people that he will kick them out. :unsure:My point, plain and simple, if you want students to come, make them feel welcome and respected. Don't tell people to come early and leave them standing at the door. And then if you ask people to make signs (which makes sense) don't send cops to take it away from them and threaten them of being kicked out.Peace out !

Dude, you make it sound like as if Bubba was at the door of the gym begging the coaches to let him play but the coaches refused and kicked him out ! That's not what happened...Bubba had a scholarship and he was getting more playing time than he deserves and he was having issues with his team mates and his coaches and He is the one who decided to leave ! for those guys who keep coming on this board and talk about how Bubba would have been helpful etc... what do you suggest ? do you think that KD should have gone on his knees begging him to stay and promiss him that he will be playing 30 minutes a night even when he is shooting 10% FG ? There is much more to a basket ball team player than shooting 3 pointers (and especially if it is inconsistent)... Since the moment he left, the team has been more united and there isn't any single locker room issue and we are having our best season since when i was born so for god's sake enough Bubba talk, let's move on !
-
I can see why they would be tired in the January stretch but I don't see why would they be tired playing games that are 5 days apart (friday to wednesday).And once again, Mraz and Sowers are right there on the bench if KD wants to use them !

No Ozoner ! This logic works only for good teams !

So far, it seems that the home court advantage is between +8 to +13 points for us...01/10/06 at Western Michigan W, 69-55 +14 pts02/08/06 Western Michigan W, 75-53 +22 pts Home Court Advantage: +8-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------01/21/06 Eastern Michigan W, 79-61 +18 pts02/11/06 at Eastern Michigan W, 77-72 +5 pts Home Court Advantage: +13------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------01/26/06 Miami (Ohio) W, 52-45 +7 pts02/22/06 at Miami (Ohio) L, 63-60 -3 pts Home Court Advantage: +10------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------02/14/06 Bowling Green W, 77-62 +15pts01/29/06 at Bowling Green W, 77-72 +5 pts Home Court Advantage: +10------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Using this statistics we can predict the results of the coming games:we lost to Ohio in Athens by 3we will win in Akron by 5 to 10 points.------------------------------------------------we lost to Can't in Can't by 6we will win in Akron by 2 to 7 points------------------------------------------------we beated buffalo by 14 in Akronwe will beat them again by 1 to 6 points in Buffalo.The only bad news would be that we will lose to Nevada next year because our home court advantage won't give us +27 points.

Recruit on Next Year's Radar
Valpo Zip replied to Captain Kangaroo's topic in Akron Zips Basketball Recruiting
Is there any thing that makes you think that he would come to Akron ? -
mwily, I am assuming you are not addressig me, are you ?
-
Darryl Peterson man ! he is our best scorer and most experienced player !oops ! he's not even on the court comes crunch time...
-
I am worried about both his FT% and his FG %.
-
You don't need a rocket scientist to figure that a coach with a record of 20-100 over 4 years should be fired
-
Just for the sake of fairness ! I don't think that Nate Linhart belongs to that list. I think that Nate is the only good recruit in the last 2 years. He is the only player in our team who goes after offensive rebounds and one of only 2 players (with Dials) who got the balls to stand in a good position to draw the Offensive foul and one of only 3 players (with dru and cedrick) who can drive to the basket. For a freshman, i am very satisfied with Nate. And before you think about it ! no i am not from gahana and i do not know nate or any one related to him.
