Being Arth's b****, only for Akron to actually bring one of the most sought after coaches in college football, then getting rolled by the entire MAC in basketball has to be brutal.

Stoked for this race. We finally have skin in the game. Boogity boogity boogity boys! Let's go racin'!

Yes, but make it better. There's something about it that isn't... Defining enough. I'm not sure how to fully describe it.

I'm just hoping we have a better redesign than OSUcks. There was a lot of hullabaloo about this prior to the announcement. Reminds me of the Browns - the Orange is Oranger. @GP1 I like the idea of making it big and owning it. Whatever they do, I hope it's simplistic, yet bold and strong.

My only 3 wishes... - For Akron basketball to always be successful - For anyone who isn't going to be a contributor to that success to get out of town - For Can't State to get 💩 on every time they take the court So yes, I may have gotten 1 of my 3 wishes.

He was just excited to watch a DI basketball team at the GameBoy Center or whatever it's called.

Hey, at least you didn't make a basketball post in a football thread a few weeks ago.

I'm not even sure this is accurate. After any little "hot streak" he has during a game, defenses adjust and he goes MIA. He cannot shot create on his own, and he's a liability on defense. Whatever he gives you on the offensive end, even with a hot streak, is largely negated by his liabilities during the other 95% of the game. The offense today ran very efficiently in comparison. There wasn't a guy who provides very little off-the-ball movement slowing down the offense, and the absence of his ~75% miss rate helped keep the offense in rhythm. If he's gone, so be it. If he stays, I hope he kicks it up about 4 gears these last couple of weeks.

The ZN.o update to include GIFs really takes this board to the next level. Now, do we have Trimble going forward or not?

No.

Whoa.

Hey, let's not talk poorly about the Pick-Me-Up Crew whose gushing over the Zips is making me feel better about this program.

They shouldn't even be allowed to host events in it until their average basketball attendance is over 50.

15 pt lead at the half. Message-sending game by Groce and the players are responding well. Side note: EMU doesn't deserve their arena.

When X's head is in the game, he's terrific.

Wrong thread.

That was a knee slapper.

Messages are being sent to the players with this game.

Prison Rules to start the game. Geeze.

I'm doing this for my daughters. They must experience the frustration & heartbreak. It builds character.

Perfect tip-off time. Middle of the day where I can be busy and forget to watch what could be a repeat of the previous two performances. (Just kidding. I have to watch. I have two girls that need to know the ups and downs of being an Akron fan.)

Semantics. I see SI.com, UA sees SI.com - it's Sports Illustrated, damnit!

Moorhead being in local media - and by local, I mean 92.3 The Fan, 850 ESPN, etc., not just Akron stations - will go a long way. First order of business - crush KSUcks in marketing. Be THE school in the area. Sean Lewis won't go on 92.3 The Fan, at least not with Ken Carmen. Second order of business - win. Third order of business - grow with the program. Don't be Mickey Mouse with equipment, marketing strategy/techniques, etc. Moorhead gets it, and I hope the University adjusts to his level of professionalism.

I don't expect a Primary Logo change until after the conclusion of the 2021-22 athletics schedule.

If the staff was expecting to get Sincere Carry and he bolted for KSUcks last minute, that might explain lacking that one guard on this team. Still a miss to not have backup plans, but it sounds like Akron got hosed by a 💩 in the first place. There hasn't been a single "normal" off-season for recruiting since before COVID, and I think this staff has struggled with that. Heck, even the one-time-no-sit-out transfer rule came into play well after the 2021 college basketball season. I expect the holes to be filled next year, but we still have guys like Freeman, Dawson, Aziz, and Kalle to build around. Those are key pieces, as guards are less of a hot commodity than dominant bigs (especially 7 footers). Get some perimeter scoring, and the sky is the limit with our front court.
