Balki Bartokomous

hey may be a great shooter, but he is really nothing more than a novelty act. he stands 10 feet behind the 3 point line, waits for someone to pass him the ball, then he jacks it up. He can't create his own shot and he can't play defense. In a game like this one, sure he probably should have gotten about 10-12 minutes of playing time but hey, if he wants to quit then quit. He has a chance to play on a very good D1 basketball team. Even getting 1 minute a game is better than the 1000's who play in lower divisions that will never go anywhere. This is the experience of a life time. as an athlete whose career was train wrecked by an injury i would KILL to just sit the bench on a team like that.on the nick goddard note though. Every time I see him play, he reminds me of this:

I just noticed I typed Illinois and not Indiana, but hey, both are the same crappy team when you are as drunk as I was typing that. Go Zips!

I like how Illinois acts like they are doing us a favor by playing us. If they didn't suck so bad I could understand them not want to play here, but come on. Freaking Illinois. Thats like Youngstown state telling Texas "nope, either you play here or we don't play at all" Just drop em and pick up some DIAA school. A win is a win, and last year we didn't have a lot of them.

good lord I hope the new stadium wouldn't be 60K seats. how terrible will that look when 5/6ths or more of it is empty. remember what Cleveland Municipal Stadium looked like when the Indians played there?

Akron 96EMU 27

Frye deserves a slow clap for that gem.

Did I accidently find my way back to the 60's? Rubber factory ... oh you wacky Governors.

They may not be outstanding this year, but they have some serious young talent. 2-3 years from now, the MAC is ours.

I blame Barbaro for this.

Wow, looking at all the other MAC teams, they got great games. ESPN can go suck an ass.

If two teams are tied at 41, we would actually be number 47.

ugh, FAU. Who the hell would want to go there? They are always one of the worst teams in the country.

So, I just thought of something. With all the porn advertising that shows up here, Terry Pluto's horny ass is eventually going to find his way to this site, leading to his pulitzer winning column;"Scribbles in my notebook as I beat off to porn I found on Zipsnation.org."

Captain, were we at the same game? I remember it like this. (though alcohol may have played a part in the discrepancy)

Any word on if Dantley Cline can get athletes if he wants?

CBS Sportsline is well known as a joke. It took them almost 4 months to figure out the Barbaro message board story. It is garbage stories like that one that lead to rumors of coaches leaving. I guarantee they haven't even talked to Dambrot, other wise they would have had a *gasp* quote from KD. Poor writing and speculation. Thats what you get from CBS Sportsline.

Balki, you bust me up. I'm finished with this. I'm glad someone thinks i'm a smartass for some reason...maybe i could be balki part deux on these boards. I'm just gonna go to the games and have fun and really really really NOT care that someone thinks i'm part of an embarrassment to the school. Do you guys need a loan? I'll give you the ten bucks to join so you can come sit with us. Seriously, it's not that bad... I wish we could get away with having the rule that you have to only be wearing AKRON clothing of some kind in the student section but it's not my call. They're allowing sign ups again soon, come down and join us and fill those sections up. We all know that 75% of those that showed up for K.e.n.t. won't be in the stands for Buffalo. How 'bout we call a truce, join forces and be loud as hell. I'll only disagree in the fact that you can be the nice friendly positive cheering folks and i'm gonna be rude, crude and downright mean to our opponents. You gotta get in the opposing teams heads, and you know they can hear us. GO ZIPS and hope to see the any/all of the "anti" rowdies sitting behind the baskets with me. Rowdy Zip, you are more than welcome in joining me in just enjoying the game and not caring what anyone thinks. Cause when it comes right down to it, we all know the truth ...

Akron 93Snuff-a-hoe 68Maybe there will be a fight between rowdies and anti rowdies, like in anchor man. If so, i'm taking the rowdies. I'm setting the over under on number of anti rowdie teeth knocked out at 7 and I'm taking the over.

seems like there are quite a few people showing up (namely anyone in defense of the anti rowdies) here that haven't quite grasped the idea of not being in HS any more. good lord grow up. College is about a couple of things. Getting drunk, rooting for your college team, HATING your opponent for the night ... and learning is somewhere in there. Should we bake Ohio cookies? Oh maybe Can't would have liked a nice bowl of punch and a back rub. Better yet, why don't we give up the rowdies seats to the opposing teams fans so they can feel more at home?freaking idiots. You are the embarrassment here. EVERYONE should be concentrating on who the real enemy is. Instead we have a level 3 high school drama developing. Either grow up or go to another school. Either way, shut the hell up and quit bitching about things you have no control over. Now if you will excuse me. I'll be pregaming for the Buffalo game tomorrow. You know, Buffalo, the team we play, the organization we should be devoting time to not liking for the weekend.

If you are anti Rowdies, then you are anti Akron and if you are anti Akron, then you are a son of a bitch. Sorry, thats how the math goes.

Cocaine is a drug. Facebook is an online social network. Just saying.

inthezone, perhaps you are confusing her sexual appeal with that of ESPN's own slob, Chris "back back back" Berman.YOU'RE WITH ME LEATHER!!!

That is correct, Balki Dick Bartokomous is my name. well ... actually it's Balkimortomous Dick Smythly Nor-Sarcaszijaian Bartokomous III, but who is counting.I'm just saying, that kid needs a mother, and it seems that this holly chick might have the sweater cows the child will need to blame later for turning him gay due to lack of breast feeding.

LOL! cocaine is a helluva drug. Does holly know about your bastard child though?

Well ... Ace said that Sally overheard Jessica talking to Michele about her conversation with Nikki, who at the time was talking on the phone with Bill, whom was in a room with Samantha while she was writing an email to Sara about her earlier conversation with Nicole and Teresa about Jane's party last week where Amanda was overheard telling Johnny that she had heard from her friend Mitch's girlfriend's cousin's friend's roommate Allison that Holly told Jess that she totally had a crush on you.
