Let'sGoZips94

I'm simply excited to see this team play DI competition again. Quisenberry is a solid player. The same defensive effort we saw against OSUcks should help contain him, however. I'm interested to see how the offensive game plan in this game compares to the OSUcks game as well. Do we look to consistently pound the paint again, or will be it be Jesus Take the Wheel from behind the arc?

A thread that bashes China AND LeBum? Let me add KENT STATE SUCKS for the trifecta and perfect thread (minus the reason for the thread being the embarrassing butt-whooping). This new coaching search is the most important one in program history. The ever-changing college football landscape has us teetering on the edge of total irrelevancy, with our only current relevance being a weekly participant in ESPN's Bottom Ten (thanks to our FBS level; total irrelevancy is dropping to FCS). In no legitimate world should KSUcks ever beat us this badly.

Even when we rip it, our shots look like we have defenders pushing up. They're not strong or way off target.

Not the best effort to start that 2nd OT and it costs the Zips. We need an offensive threat next season.

BEAUTIFUL goal. Keep the foot on the pedal!

Still unsure what this type of game - with Point Park the game prior - provides for this program. Garbage job by the coaching staff with scheduling.

You're in the MACtion thread.

The human in me feels for him struggling to start the season after losing his dad not too long ago. The Akron fan in me is watching Enfield(?) take his #25 ranked USC Trojans back to his roots at Florida Gulf Coast for an away game, while Duquesne has yet to show up on an Akron schedule. I repeat my post above: thank goodness we have Groce. Side note: didn't realize TVD (Dunn-Martin) ended up at FGCU. Good for him.

Independent please.

Just to clarify, is the $20 cover charge for general beer sales or exclusively for the bar area referenced by @Captain Kangaroo?

Forgot about Georgia State. Nice catch.

LET'S GO! MAKE A RUN! Side note: Has the MAC ever had 4 teams in the tourney?

Count me in on this bandwagon if NEO is a place he'd be interested in returning to.

Gain nothing, risk everything. I hate this schedule. Please no injuries.

Does this game count towards eligibility since it wasn't a DI team? I can't remember all the nuances of the eligibility rule. Nice to hear the student section was strong. They seemed to support the soccer team well this season, so it's nice to hear that could be carrying over. The only question I have regarding the game is who did we see play that didn't play vs OSUcks & WVU? I know Kalle and Wynn were mentioned. How did they look? How did any others look? I can't take anything else away from a game against Point Park. Does Bishop Sycamore have a basketball team? If so, why didn't we schedule them?

Considering where Akron and Duquesne were at the beginning of the Groce & Dambrot respective eras, who would you rather have now? Duquense hasn't accomplished squat, and seems to have reverted back to being a mess. We are very blessed to have John Groce as Dambrot's replacement.

Very little explanation as to why they decided not to expand. I was a fool for getting my hopes up with this weak MAC leadership group.

Beer sales and better seats for the students?! What the heck is this common sense, and what have they done with the old Akron athletics/marketing department?! To bring us back to normal, this game is NOT on TV, and the University has neglected to offer up a stream of some sort, either on their Facebook page or something else.

I apologize in advance if this has already been said, and if it has, consider this an emphasis. How important was that WVU exhibition game? This team really busted their asses to iron out the kinks we saw in that exhibition. And what a game plan from Groce to be aggressive and consistently go inside. If we play like this the majority of the year, look out MAC & NCAA.

EMU lost by 6 to Indiana, 62-68. Gave them everything they could handle.

We need to find a way to keep Gibson through the regime change.

Ali got left on an island. Leave the man in the corner open for a 3 or not - that was his dilemma and he hesitated too long. OSUcks deserves credit for going inside on that play more than Akron's D was bad. He still recovered and made Key make a contest floater/layup.

What a play call by Ohio State to go inside.

Mickey Mouse connection crap from ESPN, continuing their downfall. Double dribble missed on that press.

Luke Getsy was such a big deal, we had Mike Tirico, Kirk Herbstreit, and Erin Andrews on the call for our lone MAC Title. His resume... Charlie Frye's resume doesn't include a MAC Title, but it does include... ... and...
