    Well, sorry! 😬

    I apologize in advance for my ill-informed comments! 😒 I thought we were on the road tonight! Who remembers 2003 when Marshall played at the JAR? We led about 49-42 at the half bit Marshall scored 60-something the 2nd half. Their McDonald's All-America put down FOURTEEN three-point baskets and scored 48 pts. Unreal game. I remember because it was the last game I watched in Akron, and because Dan Hipsher kicked me out of his practice the day before! 🤣

    To this day I contend that Dan Hipsher did not voluntarily pick Keith Dambrot to be his assistant. From day one there was the appearance of Keith being the heir apparent.

    Hey, that's nearly as long as the yellow pee school, isn't it? Just wanted to get that in there!

    Maybe Joe could now hire back his OC from Mississippi State. The OffensiveCoordinator #PresentedByLeafFilter. #DreamBig We're Akron!! 😊

    Guess what! We won it at the free throw line... Yup, made 16 of 19 after missing 7 of first 8 FTs. Quite a turn-around.

    Call a time out, dammit. 12-2 to start the half. To the sounds of Paul Simon. Slip slidin' away!

    Good morning all! I don't ❤ 6 a.m. games! Anyway, woke up at halftime to see Ali x2 not missing from floor, but X-Cast and Walton taking only one combined shot in the half. Gotta get a more balanced offense, coach. Thank you Purple Aces for playing like Akron the past two days. We needed that. 💜
  9. Z.I.P.
    I saw none of this mess, but...why did Walton play just 15 minutes and take only 2 shots? We're dependent on shotmaking that we can't shoot, and he's the only one who can take the rock to the rack! This is a coaching failure and Groce had sure better accept it!

    I hate to get ahead of my team -- not knowing how many eggs will be layed -- but what does the bracket look like? Could we play Vermont for fifth if both win today? Vermont's beating Evansville 39-33 with about 10 minutes remaining. I had originally visioned an Akron-Vermont championship game, and the matchup may still be possible. Both teams were top-100 RPI coming into this, but were upset on Monday. Excellent matchup if it occurs.

    Fordham now has an argument for A-10 membership! 😄

    If Navy decides to retire Ken Niumatalolo, I wonder if he and Jasper could both be available? 🤔

    Is the Irish gal still on the team? Pandemic I imagine made it hard or impossible for her to get to Akron. She would have been a true freshman last year -- don't think she was on campus. Wonder if she can play. 6-2 Irish youth national team player.

    How are field conditions? I see it's in the low 40s and no precip. Anyone remember about 1981 when we played Wisconsin Green Bay in the first round and sleet and freezing rain fell until early afternoon before the game started around 2:00. Bob Dowdy hired a helicopter to come in and fly about 40 or 50 feet above the field with the hope that the breeze blown up by the chopper would keep the field from freezing -- making it more playable. I guess it worked -- the rain stopped before kickoff and the Zips won easily.

    ESPN hasn't left the diocese. They have it as Wheeling Jesuit! 🙏

    I really hope the next coach sees the value in keeping a leader like Coach Rod in Ziptown. Otherwise, I wish him much fortune and will try to follow his journey. ❤

    I don't know, but this opening game seems somewhat similar to 2017 when Akron -- then ranked #3 played #22 Seattle of the WAC in what must have been round 2, as we had a first round bye. We defeated the Redhawks 3-0. This team has a much lower floor than that College Cup semi-finalist team. The MAC season showed we must be prepared for every opponent. However, I feel this team is capable of beating anyone in the tournament if they play up to their potential. First round prediction: Akron 3 SCU 1.

    That's an indication the admin knows the soccer game will draw the bigger crowd. They're right! ✅

    Bless you Saint Zippus Tennesseeus on this Sacramental Decision Sunday for your devout reportage! I bet if you cross-referenced those final 6 teams above with their SOSs, the committee could find some way to move the beloved Stanford Cardinal into shooting range of an NCAA pick. Is Jeremy Gunn a committee member? lol

    Kalle went 3 for 3 in 4 minutes of mop-up duty. Did he look like he belonged? I wonder if we still have the rule that players can play several games and still redshirt. Anyone know?
  21. Z.I.P.
    Was he dressed/on the bench in C'umbus?
  22. Z.I.P.
    Wow! You're right, he was drafted in 2002. I pegged him as a Brookhart player. Yikes.
  23. Z.I.P.
    I can't help recalling with moist eyes those days when people on this board looked longingly at the day when Akron could "move up" to the Big Time...Conference USA. Where has all our ambition gone? 🥺

    Sandon is one of the Marquis' of the Big Soccer board! He used to live in Hartville...not sure anymore. Glad he's confident in the local club!

    13 points and 9 rebounds for Jordyn Dawson as she leads Zips to blow out win over D-2 Slippery Rock. All 13 who played for Akron scored, while team made 13 three-pointers. https://gozips.com/news/2021/11/9/womens-basketball-balanced-attack-propels-zips-to-season-opening-win.aspx
