The Men's team - an exciting, top-notch team - struggles to draw big crowds at times. It's not surprising to me at all that not many have showed for the women's game.

No email back from Mack Rhoades? What a shocker...

There better not be many in-game posts because everyone better be at the JAR tomorrow!Anyways, here's my Game PreviewI'm expecting a fun night in Akron

http://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...0&ATCLID=803262A promotional item was announced that will be given to the first 3,000 fans in attendance Saturday - a Lebron James wall cling. I understand the idea - use Lebron's popularity to draw a big crowd - but at the same time, in a game that the spotlight should be solely on Mr. Joyce and Mr. Travis, who have spent the last four years having to put up with being referred to as "Lebron's former teammates", was this a good move?

Buy your tickets NOW to assure we get as many Zips fans as possible to the game! You can do it one of three ways:1) Go to the Student Union from 12:30-2:30 PM tomorrow and purchase a ticket there2) Go to the Akron Ticket Office in person or order by phone by calling 1-888-99-AKRON or (330) 972-69203) Purchase a ticket through Ticketmaster:Click Here to go directly to the Ticketmaster page

Thanks for the response...I guess I'm guilty of trying to get you guys to all bookmark the blog and get the word out about the site.

I agree it'll be a huge test...I'm telling you guys, March 4th is shaping up to be an amazing day...Akron vs. Can't...tied for 1st place...sold out crowd...MAC East title on the crown...the long-time King vs. Eventual Successor...Hollywood script right there!

My thoughts here

Either the connection is messed up or Steve French was just revealed as the devil...

It ain't over...cmon guys!

Click Here for my game preview. Included are my thoughts on the game and my predicted outcome

Quit using unbelievably corny lines...I said it was a tough shot...I just think it's more exciting if a person only gets one shot.

Personally, I think 3 shots is too much. It's a heckuva shot, no doubt about that...but if they were giving three shots all year I have a feeling they would've given out quite a few airline tickets...it's just not nearly as improbable as making it on one shot is, which takes away from the challenge/excitement of it. It's kind of like the dunk contest these days - sure, a sweet dunk is a sweet dunk...but it loses its luster when it's on attempt #3 or #4. Just my opinion...With that said, still a tough shot, so congrats on the make!

Count me in as one who grudgingly admits this one wasn't on Bubba...he hit a few huge shots that kept OU going as New Mexico State was making their run.Depth and lack of team composure in the last two minutes killed the Bobcats last night.

Well let's take a look at the potential players on the team next year:LOCKS (7)--------------------F-Jeremiah WoodF-Quade MilumF-Nate LinhartF-Chris McKnightG-Nick DialsG-Cedrick MiddletonG-Jimmy ConyersHOLDOVERS (5)--------------------G-Nick GoddardF-John RybakG-Jeremy SalleeG-Zach SowersF-Tim CarrollNEWCOMERS (5)--------------------C-Mike BardoG-Steve McNeesF-Steve SwiechF-Brett McKnightG-Ronnie StewardI'm guessing Sowers and Carroll play elsewhere next season. Even so, the Zips would still be forced to redshirt all three incoming freshmen...not what I want to do. Is there really a future here for Sallee and/or Rybak? I'd much rather see two of the three newcomers dress than those two...

Thanks...and I think the same
