  1. Ends up Point Park's Sherron Schifino has a cousin, Jalen Hood-Schifino who's a 4 or 5-star (ranked #20 on Rivals Top 100), and signed with Indiana after decommitting from hometown Pittsburgh. Coach Groce shoulda put in a call to Uncle Jake for a recommendation! https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/Pitt/2020/07/27/Pitt-basketball-Jalen-Hood-Schifino-decommits-Montverde-Academy-Jeff-Capel-William-Jeffress/stories/202007270104
  2. Fascinating no one mentioned one of the more ironic facts of the game: The Anteaters' coach, Russell Turner came closer than anyone to being full-time coach of the D-1 school in Akron. Multiple reports stated he was offered and turned down the Akron job before it was offered to John Groce. He's one of the top young coaches on the West coast and his team was coming off having led #10 USC by double digits before finally losing by 5. They own wins over excellent teams Santa Clara and Boise State, so I must say: Nice win Duqies!!
  3. Here is what I remember about Radford U. men's basketball: In his final career game in March of 1993, Akron's Mark Alberts finished as the NCAA's career leader in 3-point field goals. It was either later the same evening or the next night that Radford's Doug Day passed Alberts and moved into first place in the career 3-pointers list. I believe it was also the final game of Day's college career, so he must have celebrated, while Mark fell back into his chair after his brief time on top of the 3-point mountain. What's Mark Alberts doing these days?
  4. This is the team that drew Brimfield AM&T School of Fashion Design in the Tater Tots Bowl. They whooped up on NIU and Jar St. on the road early on, went 4-0 non-con to manage 6-6 overall, 2-4 with defeats to New Mex and Hawai'i in the mediocre MWC. Enjoy the stay in Laramie, the Las Vegas of Central Wyoming.
  5. Thought Alabama A&M won one. HBCU. 😯
  6. Nice all-around! He'll have a chance to prove himself before the biggest media and opponents. Good luck with @UCFKnights.
  7. I think you're both right! 😁 @BallCoachJoeMo = Win-Win!
  8. 🤔 Already looking ahead to a trip East on 9/11/27. BTW, whatever came of the NMSU deal??
  9. Many people think UTRGV could be the UTSA of basketball. (Don't ask for names). 😐
  10. Coach JoeMo working early! Good size JC DE from MS.
  11. Martin Sr season: 90 receptions, 19 TDs, 1432 yards. Looks like his only offer so far is Ashland.
  12. He's here! https://twitter.com/AkronZips/status/1468319721657360391?t=IO546G2ObRUIDMs8XwRP9w&s=19
  13. On Tuesday December 21st in Boise, the two teams with the ugliest uniforms in CFB meet on the ugliest field in CFB. WYO vs Suffield Tech in the Infamous Potato Bowl. 🥔 🤢
  14. Well...Proenza put the university on the upward track academically and physical plant-wise, and began the process of upgrading athletics. Let's hope Miller can complete the deal -- and somehow we can re-establish all our de(p)leted academic programs!
  15. Someone ask @Zipmeisterabout #WalkOns... 😗
  16. I don't have the energy at 3 a.m. EST (10:30 in the islands 😉) to search for it, but after the Arth firing one of the first posts on this or another thread mentioned coach Moorhead's name and stated (IIRC) that he wouldn't be available due to his health condition. I know nothing about this story. Could anyone with info please comment or post an article on this thread? Mahalo nui loa! And the Zip in Paradise won't be buying season tickets but hopefully the marketing dept can actually come up with gear for fans in Hawai'i nei.
  17. Here's a comment!! 😬
  18. So, I guess Walton wasn't missed! G'night K.J.
  19. I lost it after Freeman's 3-point play. What happened final 24 ticks?? 🤷‍♂️
  20. Well, sorry! 😬
  21. 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! 🤣
  22. 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.
  23. Hey, that's nearly as long as the yellow pee school, isn't it? Just wanted to get that in there!
  24. Maybe Joe could now hire back his OC from Mississippi State. The OffensiveCoordinator #PresentedByLeafFilter. #DreamBig We're Akron!! 😊
  25. 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.
