    Excellent! "Fan section report - Akron fans behind the AK bench have huge cutouts of player/coaches heads (imagine the roleplay segment on PTI, only jumbo-sized). Very sharp."Attendance report - Let’s just say it’s looking like the decision to go back to playing 1st round games at home sites was probably a good one.Kool keys WMU comeback with 24 in second half.http://hosted2.ap.org/OHLOR/a83f53f64d8747...d38a5bf4d27b4f3

    http://www.ohiohssports.com/news/article/3...s-no-tall-tale/Only problem is, it looks like he is a senior this year. Sorry, no room unless he walks on.On second look, he appears to be an old junior. DOB is '92, so I figured... Anyhow with his stats, he may get more attention, especially this summer. Wonder about his AAU experience. He looks to be more a 2-guard/shooter and with his undersize, that may make him a D-2 caliber.http://www.maxpreps.com/athletes/WuPdVVtDf...e-krizancic.htm

    Wanted to vote for a team that ran the 3-3-5.

    When Jody Kest took the job as head coach -- what, three years ago? -- I asked Gavin Peterson, the ex-Hawaii assistant coach (and the first guy I knew to move directly from team manager to an assistant coaching position), who had worked for Kest at Texas A&M CC what type of game to expect from a Kest-led team.'Look for an up-tempo game, both offensively and defensively, with active half-court defensive schemes based on aggressive man-to-man ball-hawking. Look offensively for the team to run in transition whenever possible, to take shots quickly on the shot clock, and for a lot of three-point shots to be put up.'It looks like Jody has fully implemented her defensive game plan at Akron this season, and her team has made a name for itself with its overall defensive effort and the numbers speak for themselves. The team will set a school record for points allowed, standing around 58 ppg on D. That must be in the top 10-20 nationally, I would suspect.I also suspect a win in the semis will assure Akron of at least a WNIT bid. But forget that. They have the potential to do what Ball State did last year. Let's knock off the champs!

    You got it! It's 47 to 30 early in second half. This one's about over.Sounds good so far, but I hope you'll forgive me if I don't stop worrying until the final whistle.Worry all you want, but Akron leads 52-35. 10:14 left.

    They/you are right, individual sports are 1% as important as team sports in the big picture. The Wall Street Journal is a great publication and to even have the conference mentioned in it is good as many people will see that article. You crack me up!

    Halftime. Akron ahead 38 to 28!-edit- 21-10 run for Akron over second 10 minutes. Keep it up!

    Zips open up a 28-23 lead with 3 minutes to play in the half.

    You know what I love about Fox? They still have the "A"-in-Motion as Akron's logo! Well, at least they have Bart and Homer.

    EMU 18 Akron 17. 10:00 first half.

    Does anyone have a link to a gametracker that works? The one on MACSports doesn't.Thanks!

    Whodathunkit. The Wall Street Journal has a sports section?! At least Mr. Everson has employment in a bad economy. Writing articles few if any readers care about!

    Well, then I guess every team that's ever lost in a national championship, especially those that showed themselves better than their opponent, "choked".

    Glad to have you back in the game! As the man from Mingo Junction (Bud Collins) used to recommend, "Just let the arm go spaghetti" (service suggestion).Slight tangent, but congratulations to the local girl (from nearby Indiana) for making MAC POW. Must have felt great beating your sister. http://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...TCLID=204905601

    Like to look at the refs' stats. For example, just looked at Ed Hightower. Never realized what a homer he is! Look at the difference between home and visitor scores in his games -- much higher than average refs. Is he getting more blow-out games? Or making more?
  20. Z.I.P.
    Players were set to the bench for a set period of time if they mouthed off. Usually 5 minutes. The teams played a man down for that time.and how did the ref get away with that?Sepp Blatter has just announced that the new FIFA trial rules will now be added to this year's World Cup in South Africa. And he will be personally supervising the penalty box. Blatter stated this will help help prevent needless "professional fouls", and violations such as Thierry Henry's handball in qualifying which kept Ireland out of South Africa. Also, goalkeepers will be referred to as "net minders", and will wear colorful masks painted with scenes of their home countries.

    It was my pleasure...don't forget to read Playing for Pizza.For history sake...does anybody out there still have any rolls of duct tape the boys sold to finance their AAU travel?And, how many can remember what kine of playah was Roland Bivins? Bonus points to the first to ID that name on the ZNO.

    I'd have to suggest that things have improved about 1000% over the Hipsher era. But there is still some work to be done, starting this weekend. There is just one chance for this team to redeem this season. They need senior leadership. They need their "stars" to be as motivated as their opponent's stars. Attitude is right Dave. That is a problem with this team, and it starts at the top. I haven't heard anyone take responsibility. Forget blame, whose willing to take some leadership?
  23. Z.I.P.
    For the record -- and this is my first and only comment on what happened last week, the ESPN2 team that did the broadcast did the best job I've ever heard on an Akron or MAC BB game -- they actually managed to make that game interesting. Can't even remember who they were, but they were excellent! The game...
  24. Z.I.P.
    Shouldn't have any difficulty making the CBI. We'll get to play @ Mo State in first round! KC -- hope all's well in Burque. Gotten outa town yet?
  25. Z.I.P.
    I'll be in front of the tellie. Go Zips!and GWOS but just for old time's sake.
