From reading Sewell's and Nicely's Facebook statuses, I think there's more than 1, 5 AM practice a week.

THAT WAS CLASSIC! Mr. McKnight is amazing! I thought the greatest quote of the day from him was when Ronnie missed that dunk, he turned to Mr. Steward (who quickly pretended to be texting) and said, "Come on dad! He's gotta get up there and GET THAT!" Of course, that was jokingly, but it was still hilarious!

I know what you mean lol.

That wasn't a very good turn out by the True Who. I enjoyed the middle fingers also. I thought one of the greatest chants was when the True Who started chanting "USA! USA! USA!" and the Rowdies all shrugged their shoulders like "Ok, it's our country thanks for honoring it" and started chanting "USA! USA! USA!".

Welcome to the party Jimmy. Who's dunk was better Jimmy or Zeke? I liked Zeke's.Only thing you missed, who was that Nic guy at the free throw line, he is good. I liked Jimmy's dunk. He switched hands in like mid air and got the foul! Zeke's was too wide open and at 7 ft., he should have just put his elbow through the rim. Both were great.

Against Polk? Why not just send the man to his death bed right now! I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that Polk has like 400 pounds on him than Zeke does. We want Zeke alive for the MAC tourney, but ultimately I agree. When Polk isn't in there, get Zeke in there as much as possible.

Here's how you approach it:

Oh boy, you have no idea. LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!

they do tend to copy cheers from other schools, so I wouldn't be surprised....I don't think we did. At least I didn't hear it. My favorite chant was "Let's play hockey!". This game tonight made me eat my words, now I'm full. I take back everything I have said about Dambrot and the team (besides the scheduling). They earned that win tonight, never let up. That was an amazing effort. Hats off to Dambrot for getting them ready, and hats off to the players for being ready! BRING ON BG!

"digged"I'm really excited about the potential of this video gaining momentum.I just pray that this guy is at the JAR on march 5th.I just hope Can't State doesn't see this and go because then they'll probably do to that reporter. Would be nice to hear some "Can't Read, Can't Write, Can't Talk" chats directed at him hahaLOL! That's great.

I loved when they showed that and had the fireworks during player intros...I think the reason we aren't that good this year is because they got rid of the fireworks! bring em back!!!!!also up to 45000+ views on the video...hopefully one day we can surpass miley cyrus and have 100,000,000,000 and the whole world will know how much Can't state sucksThat and the videos keep changing and aren't as good this year. IMO, vmd should be doing the video. With his effects, it would be awesome!

The "University of Akron Psyche" was the best pregame vid Akron has had.
-
That's one of the rewards I'm pretty sure of the point system, getting tickets for the Can't game.
-
+1I like the band's activeness, but the Rowdies are already active, especially that end. Let them go upstairs and get the rest involved. IMO, that's what they are trying to do anyways from the floor.
-
I think it's going to be fun. The greatest thing about sports is the rivalries. If both student sections are loud, I hope the JAR doesn't explode.
-
Ok, I had pain when I pinched myself so I'm not in lala land.

I bet they are thinking "I can be the difference".

What an eye opener! Love your thought here. I have always been on the boat that was called "TS=BP" (tougher schedule=better play), but you just brought up a great point. I put this on coaching for not getting the players prepared. Yes a lot of the times the players just flat out suck, but coaching can play a huge role, too. Great post!
-
Man it almost seemed like it didnt it? There were a lot of close ones that fell for them and didn't fall for us. Hopefully that's all out of our system, i would really like to beat Buffalo like a drum on Wednesday. Wouldn't that be fun?Also add BG, Can't, and whoever we play up in Cleveland to that drum.

I don't think our defense has been good at all to be honest. I was watching Western Carolina take Can't down to the wire tonight. You know how they did it? They made shots and played the best D I've seen in a while at the college level. Akron USED to be a good defensive team, now we've sort of slacked off. We don't get up into players, we don't scrap and pick at the ball, we don't come from behind and poke the ball away like a smart defensive player would. We foul and let them drive to the hoop.

For me, it brought back a lot of great memories. You can choose to focus on the negative or you can choose the positive. I'll take the positive every time. Yeah, our Men's Soccer Zips fell short of their goal, but what an unprecendented season! True dat! We have it this year though. In the finals, my dad won 2 tickets for the finals out in Santa Barbara for this year, and I'm taking that as a good sign! GO ZIPS!

Of course they did. They only scored 53 points. Points scored compared to the other team is the most important statistic. Turnovers, steals, blocks and rebounds lead to scoring opportunities, not necessarily points.In big games, you had better be able to score points and put pressure on the other team. Akron put no pressure on VCU to perform all day.That was just plain bad in every way.Bad that the Zips came within 2 rebounds of a team that was supposed to kill them on the boards?Bad that the Zips had fewer turnovers against a pressing defense that was supposed to cause a Zips meltdown?Bad that the Zips had more steals than the team with the "more athletic" players?Bad that the Zips had more blocked shots than the team with the experienced big with the 7-foot-7 wingspan who's projected to be an NBA lottery pick?Bad that the Zips caused the projected NBA lottery pick to foul out?The Zips played like men against men. They lost because they couldn't get the ball through the hoop. It happens to the biggest, baddest, toughest men who play the sport.One thing I do believe is bad are fans who are so focused on pointing fingers at what went wrong that they refuse to acknowledge any good from the team they claim to support.I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but what good do you see? I'm honestly just wondering.Here's what I see:PositivesIndividual performances from Jimmy and Nik are becoming more consistent.Zeke is changing SOME shots.NegativesLaid an egg on national TV AGAIN. Inconsistent.Horrible shooting.Lazy/lack of effort.Bad coaching.Horrible free throw shooting AGAIN.We have taken a step back from last year. I can understand a team taking a step back if they lose like 3+ seniors, but we only lost 1. Yes it was MVP, and yes he was a huge leader, but where are the McKnights, the McNees', the DRobs who have been here for 3+ years?I am a huge Zips fan, but to get better you have to learn from your mistakes. You can't just blow through life like NOTHING bad happens, and the same applies for sports. If you focus on just the positives, you will never get over the negative bumps in the road. That's why people are pointing out the negatives, they want to get better and improve. I hope we can get it back on track for Wednesday, or it's going to be a long game if Buffalo brings their A game. Go Zips! Win the MAC tourney.

I think Dambrot has lost control...
