    I see on WatchESPN (waiting for Akron vs Ark) that Cincinnati has 20-16 lead on BeeGee, at the Stroh Center. AND, there appear to be plenty of empty seats in that bandbox!

    So, has anybody heard anything else about Josh Williams' status??
  3. Z.I.P.
    Was Josh injured vs Hiram too?? Talk about a frustrating outcome! smh

    Well, it appears that poutine is a specialty dish, available throughout the Hawaiian Islands! Who woulda thunkit? Not sure why -- our past Governor, Neil Abercrombie was a native Buffalonian and there ARE a lot of Cannucker snowbirds around Kuhio Avenue, so that may explain the abundance of poutine-serving eateries on O'ahu. So, alas, the Zip in Paradise and whatever other members of the Aloha Section Alumni crew he can scrounge up will try and find a table or bar seat at Real, a Gastropub in Baja Waikiki for the 10:30 kickoff on CBS Sports Net. http://www.yelp.com.au/search?find_desc=poutine&find_loc=Honolulu,+HI Edit, fail on REAL. They don't open the kitchen till 2 O'clock. ;(

    Thanks Wadszip, that's a VERY interesting story on McCollum (whom I have to admit, I was not aware of being from Canton). Similar indeed to Damian Lillard, who came from Oakland, and stated his disappointment at being dissed by his school-of-choice, Cal-Berkeley. I love Lillard, and now will be following McCollum. Blazers are my #2 NBA team now, having spent some time in PDX.

    I'm particularly interested in hearing how he plans to "engage the community", that he believes is anxious to be engaged. Well...Here's your opportunity! Let's find out if he used that "Marquette Marketing" to get us a Top-4 soccer seed. Ha!

    An earlier thread said that the AK Rowdies were the reason that Akron was underrated by the committee in the past. So, I guess now the committee <3 AK-ROWDIES!!! I've never seen this story mentioned on here, so this is as good a time as any. At the College Cup semi-finals in Santa Barbara (vs Michigan), a gentleman came over from on the field to tell the Rowdies they had to "tone it down" in their chants. I only discovered on the flight home after we were that that guy was the Chairman of the NCAA Men's D1 Soccer Committee. I believe he was HC of St John's or nearby East Coast school. True story.

    Anyone think that WMU would have gotten in if they had beaten Buffalo in the Semis (then lost in final)? I'd say, still little <50/50.
  9. Z.I.P.
    I think someone's screwed up, because ESPN has the same score as the screen board!
  10. Z.I.P.
    Is it me, or do the announcers keep giving a score that's way different from what's on the screen??

    UCSB takes a big dip this season, as they lose "Big Al" Williams, who led nation in rebounding the past two years. That's 18 pts. and 12 boards a night gone.I was thinking of going to Vegas -- "return" for me, as I haven't been back since moving out in '84. lol However the schedule shows just three games in entire event in LV! (Two for Zips) Not worth the expense to travel. I'd sure like to see Keith get us into the Disney event in Anaheim/Irvine. Listening??

    Mahalo Z-Man!

    Spin? No. Acceptance that we aren't a very good football team? Clearly!
  14. Z.I.P.
    Regardless of the location, I pray this team doesn't get matched against a Navy or Boise State. Please give us a ODU or a Middle Tennessee -- SOMEONE we have a chance of beating!
  15. Z.I.P.
    Jatavis!!!
  16. Z.I.P.
    How many QBs does Miami HAVE? Sheesh!
  17. Z.I.P.
    50 yard FG! smh again!
  18. Z.I.P.
    Exactly as I said. smh!

    Akron offensive strategy on stage again: Get the lead, pray, and run out the clock
  20. Z.I.P.
    Holy C-R-A-P!!!
  21. Z.I.P.
    Elon's been in the top 10 this season. Now they might miss the tournament -- and I still don't know where it's located! lol
  22. Z.I.P.
    I read that Yedlin assisted on the Bobby Wood goal. That's the old Akron to Hawai'i connection! USA! USA!

    I heard an ESPN radio talk show host say that "there will be lots of 5-win teams in bowls this year". If that is the case, does it mean there is no rule (or no enforcement of the rule) requiring all 7 and 6-win teams to be bowling before any 5-win teams are chosen? If not, then look for LOTS of P-5 conference schools stealing bowls from lower conferences, like...the MAC!

    So, a subpar recruiting class for Salcedo! Where will he go to replace Abu Dunladi after he becomes the MLS #1 pick?
  25. Z.I.P.
    Amazing how the Gaucho Dan guy is clairvoyant!
