+1 Totally agree. It's disappointing that it basically took the whole OOC schedule for the team to gel, but I think things are coming together very nicely. Everyone's developed well.

That landscaping exists because they ran into sandstone while digging in the northwest corner. It would be difficult to cut through the bedrock to put something else there. Pouring concrete over it would result in a situation like the Rubber Bowl where water gets in there and eats away at the base. I think platforms could be put up over top of them to provide more room to stand. Why build more platforms so that security can have more areas to yell at the few paying fans at the game to get behind the line. The security is a little too rough on where people can stand. +1 Security is WAY too tough. As for my change, I would like to build stands on both sides so a retractable roof can be built.

Who's ready to go see the buckeyes? :lol: Go see the Suckeyes lose? ME!

Cleveland's hosting some of it this year?!? Awesome!

I don't see this game being much different from the Can't game besides the score. I don't think O-Who is all they are cracked up to be. Cooper is good, but he's nowhere NEAR where he was last year with Bassett at his side. Gameplan: I would have to say put Diggs on Cooper, but if you don't want to do that, put him on Freeman. Freeman needs to be glued to. If you watched the game against Miami (OH) the other day, Freeman was why that game was as close as it was. He nailed his 3's. Also, if I remember correctly he killed us in the MACC last year. YOU HAVE TO GET THE BALL TO ZEKE AGAINST THESE GUYS! Miami pounded it down low and three O-Who players fouled out including Washington and Keely. Prediction: Akron 74 Bobkitties 61 Zeke with a double double again, Abreu with multiple assists and steals, Diggs with some athletic plays, and Brett McKnight lights them up.

Not if Chip Kelly is coaching. He just cost the Ducks a national championship. Sad thing is, iCan'tCoach is way worse. However, with the right personnel, anything will work in the MAC with how awful it is.

I would've stayed at Stanford. You have Andrew Luck returning, you're at a great school with lots of money, and next year you have another chance at a national title. Plus, the 49ers aren't exactly the "dream" job in the NFL right now.

I have the Ducks. I don't think Auburn is as good as the SEC has to offer on defense; they may be the best offensive team in the SEC, but not defensively IMO. LaMichael James it the quickest, fastest, and most explosive little running back in the nation. Oregon's offensive tempo will give Auburn some problems. I also hope one of the fast defensive players for Oregon blitzes and DESTROYS SCam Newton. I hope the money his "dad" got gets used for medical reasons, but that he can still finish the game and lose.

Was surprised to see him in there as much as he was. Yes it was disappointing not to have a chance to get Egner involved, but at least he wasn't exposed like his former HS teammate was. Defensively, there is NO way he could stay with either Nik or Brett. And we thought Euton's 3-pt shooting style was a little unorthodox. I know it's early, but I think Egner looks to be the far better prospect for college ball. He sure has the smarts; he chose Akron.

Nailed it.

I BELIEVE WE BEAT CAN'T STATE! Wow that win was SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! What a difference a year makes. Last year, Zeke got destroyed; this year, Zeke destroys. Last year, our guards didn't help; this year, the guards were HUGE! Abreu is amazing. That spin move drive late in the game was KILLER! Zeke's dunks were MONSTEROUS! The 3-balls were game changing! The crowd was so electric. That's honestly the greatest crowd to EVER attend a Zips game. 5,019 people, not a sellout, but they were surely the loudest and most explosive bunch I've ever seen. When the Zips went on that run, and Steve lobbed that ball to Zeke for the throw down, I thought the building was gonna come down. GREAT turnout by the ROWDIES. Students weren't back yet and they still managed to fill both ends and put a lot of students up top. Great job guys. The NCAA trophy being displayed live, in front of Can't fans, was unreal. I hate Can't State AND their fans, but the ones that cheered, I had the smallest bit of respect for. The 'Kowbell Krew' or whatever they call themselves was downright classless. They tried to rip on our soccer team. Jealousy is a powerful thing I guess. Anyways, go Zips! BEAT DEM BOBKITTIES!

I for one and pumped for this game, though. I honestly don't think Can't knows what's coming. Akron is a different team from the past. We are more athletic (I love saying that word, and applying it to Akron ), bigger, and have a higher basketball IQ than in the past. As for my prediction: Zeke goes off on the Felons. Can't State's lack of height causes problems for them. Abreu does his usual alley and Zeke/Diggs finish it with their usual oop. Akron 84 Can't State 65

IT'S 5:11 AND...

Good, but no parade or BIG celebration? Separate from other sporting events? I'm disappointed.

Exactly. I'd take beating OSUcks anyday. I'd also be able to tell my friends to shut up about the Suckeyes.

Dang it Caleb Porter, why do you have to be such a good recruiter?

Wouldn't that be before the game? They counted down with time right?

I was just about ready to raise my hand until I saw the words "Ianello is capable". Go Zips Soccer!

And my friends say OSUcks is "Ohio's college". Can't wait to tell them about this.

Why can't Akron just win one of these games for once? Get my hopes up, then BAM! Our signature drought.

FEEL THE RHYTHM! FEEL THE RHYME! GO WIN THE CUP! IT'S AKRON'S TIME! (a little Cool Runnings for ya).

Everyone remembers us playing Virginia for the championship last year, right?

Amen. I want Louisville. First of all, I think they are the most overrated team in the country. Second of all, they've never been to the College Cup before. Third of all, I want Ken Lola to just eat it. You didn't think you could win a championship with Akron, well you sure as heck aren't going to win one with Louisville. Either way, though, Akron's winning the championship this year. With warm, fair weather, the best team in the nation (skill wise), and Caleb Porter coaching... FEEL THE RHYTHM! FEEL THE RHYME! GO WIN THE CUP! IT'S AKRON'S TIME! GO ZIPS!

Why doesn't iCan'tCoach use any of his own money to make this stuff happen? He's the reason the UA is losing money by the second.

6-2 Zips. Michigan has 2 reds (1 of the reds from 2 yellows) and 4 yellows. Mattocks will have a hat trick. The warm weather will help him and restore his ability.
