    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!

    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!

    How many QBs does Miami HAVE? Sheesh!

    50 yard FG! smh again!
  9. Z.I.P.
    Exactly as I said. smh!

    Akron offensive strategy on stage again: Get the lead, pray, and run out the clock

    Holy C-R-A-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

    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?

    Amazing how the Gaucho Dan guy is clairvoyant!

    Per his twitter feed, New Mexico Military Institute JUCO soph OT Shane Richards was offered by Akron last week. 6-7 0r 6-8 and 310-330 per different sites. Offered in Spring by Oklahoma St. and in season by Idaho and Akron. We lose all our starting OL after this season -- right? http://www.scout.com/junior-college-football/story/1563036-richards-is-a-bookend-tackle-to-watch

    I watched just the first half on PAC-12 Net. Frankly, UCLA over the past two games (Stanford and Cal) looks to be playing their best football of the season. How they managed to lose to the Cal club who gave up I think six goals to Stanford in the previous game I don't know. LOTS of parity in the PAC-12 -- except Stanford clearly head and shoulders above the "Pac". I will not be surprised if this team performs above expections on Sunday. Zips had better be prepared for bear! It's a big game for us -- and a HUGE one for them!

    Have not seen discussion of future prospects for our underclassmen -- in terms of who we might be losing, that we would hope to have back next year. TDS is listing Richie Laryea as a Generation Adidas prospect, and I have to agree that he could be gone after this season of growth. Of course, Rich may not be the only one. Not sure if any of the (other) foreign players could get offers in MLS or overseas (e.g., Souto). http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/2016-mls-draft:-suggested-ga-targets_aid38194

    So what you are saying is...You haven't seen Toledo play yet?! No question in my mind and eyes, and apparently the poll voters, that the Rockets are more balanced across both sides of the ball. I would take BeeGee's coach first (and I wish Dino Baber's alma mater, the University of Hawaii could afford him but he should be at a P-5 next year), but overall Toledo has the talent advantage. FWIW, I hear that there will be far too few teams with 6+ wins to fill all 80 bowl spots, so Akron could slip in with a 6-6 finish. Would that be a good thing? Not sure, as we'd surely be heavy underdogs.

    How about Mapp from Highland HS who just verballed?

    Sounds like you saw it too, eh? Very bad call by the 20-something center ref. I thought I read his lips saying, "Sorry" to UCLA coach Salcedo. The player he whistled offside was way out of the play. I'm fascinated by how refs are assigned -- young ref for a key Pac12 men's game here, while the Center ref for Sunday's BWC women's game between Fullerton St. and Hawai'i was veteran MLS ref Baldomero Toledo!! In any case, The young Bruins continue looking at the tournament from the outside. They will be hungry when they travel to Akron, so Zips team better not have a let down. Not hard scoring goals off their central defense, but they as usual have very dangerous scorers in Abu Dunladi and the German import.
  23. Z.I.P.
    Well, that was a nice break!
  24. Z.I.P.
    Would you like to make the delivery? lol

    Could you explain exactly what "deal" you are referring to? Do you mean ESPN3 coverage? For the record, Akron has received a great increase in national TV coverage in the past two seasons, thru the ESPN Gameplan format. While last season the team was on the plan (guestimating) around 10-12 times, in 2013-14 the team was on about 16 or 17 times. Hopefully we return to the 2014 stature.
