just like Youngstown

whatever happened to "we're going to focus on Summit County"??? Here's to the future

Thx Bum. Guess that will have to do until gametime. Hope their analysis is true except that Romeo, Wood et al prove them wrong on boards.

I bet we could get Wolstein a better deal on some land near the Akron Fulton airport (aka the RB) That would be a much better use of funds IMHO.

Has anyone seen a line on the game yet? I would imagine that we are underdogs, especially since we are the visitors.

he says as OU falls to Samford this evening 80-66 look out for the new in b-ball, ya loser!

I suspect Bardo and McNees since they haven't played any yet.

Whether they are or not, I expect the Nevada game to sell out. Not sure about the L-M or St.F games. Hopefully the local media and UA sports marketing can help out with pimpin' the games, but I'm not betting on that.

from what I've seen so far, I think McKnight will be seeing more PT than Rybek.I also think Milum is finally starting to come along since the NIT games and will see some productive time.

All the others show Zips by 1.5 or 2 pts.I remember last year they seemed to end the opposite of the oddsmakers (lost to Army, etc.) and have again this year, so I would agree that they probably don't win again.

actually I think the attendance wasn't bad considering the opponent and the Browns game conflict... 800-1000 maybe? Still better than in the valley of Crawford years.

I was also there... McKnight looked pretty good so far. Surprised to see Goddard as one if the first guards off the bench. Was concerned at the half when we led the rebounding only by a few (16-14?). Conyers had a nice dunk after a steal near the end of the game. Assuming Bardo is being redshirted since he didn't play. New "Dunks for Dollars" charity means we will probably see more of them. Wood had some nice moves in the paint, but again, the level of competition wasn't that high so he should have been able to do that.Back to work... that's all for now.

The odd thing is it is listed on the schedule magnets and season ticket brochures as a 7:00 game, so there has to be a reason it was changed to 2:00.

I'm sure the Tressel years are the basis for that.How is it that Akron is larger than Youngstown and we have zero TV stations? And I realized something a few weeks ago... there isn't a city in the entire state of WV that is larger than even Cuyahoga Falls! (obviously no pro sports there, but still...)

what was wrong with Domonkos? his leg is stronger and he seemed to be able to hit the long ones, but not the XP's.

not to mention the Akron radio stations... I heard this morning's sports report on 97.5... started with news about the upcoming big 10 game, then Browns; not a peep about the loss last night or the upcoming basketball game against Tiffin. Is that TV and radio?

at least one blocked that I can remember in the home opener against NT...

3 turnovers by OU in the first half and we get zilch... Getsy takes 2 sacks in the first half that might have given us 2 field goals... negative rushing yards thru 3 qrtrs... this is beyond ugly

bookies had us as 6 pt underdogs... we lost by 2. may not hurt as much as we think.

Looking at the box score only seems like Dials poor shooting (except at the foul line) was a factor in the game. Maybe they were hoping he would get fouled going into the lane on the last drive. It may have been a toss-up as to risking drawing the foul using Dials or Ced's getting the basket on his better ball handling skills driving the lane, but I think I agree with the others that Ced may have had the better chance. If Dru hadn't have been fouled out, I would have given him the nod.

Actually there are only 63 spots left... but who's counting.Navy accepts bowl bid

attendance listed at 14,512... how was the "butts in the seat" attendance?

I hope JD doesn't chicken out and keep Getsy in the rest of the game.

The ABJ said it was $180k/yr, but there were no other details given.

So does the band leaving us with only piped-in music I know some alumni who are willing to fill in for them during break
