Blue & Gold

LCJ will have his jersey in the rafters one day. He's the best Zip I've ever seen. As someone mentioned earlier, this will almost certainly be his final year now that he has a baby. He's gotta start making an income. The one who blows my mind is Freeman. Without him we likely wouldn't have won a single game yet this year. Simply amazing. The announcers mentioned Freeman leads the MAC in rebounding. Wonder if that's only MAC game totals, or season totals. If it is season totals, we should play Malone every year. Lol. Another simple but important point about Freeman: he rarely makes mistakes. He is always in correct defensive and rebounding positions and always looking for the pass on offense. Again, just amazing. I think we should start Dawson and bring Dailey off the bench. I know this may be a blow to Dailey's seemingly very fragile psyche. But there's less pressure & lower expectations coming off the bench; just come in and let it all hang out and give us high energy minutes. Be our Sixth Man. And maybe be on the floor at the end of the game, when it really matters. By the time he's a junior, GaRvin Clarke will have All-MAC potential.

Exactly. I love to hate Buffalo. I love to hate Ohio. And I love to hate Toledo. But I simply loathe Kent.

Been struggling. Big time.

3rd quarter or 2nd half? I prefer 4 quarters to 2 halves; gives the teams an extra timeout & 2 more chances per game for fun & momentum-swinging buzzer-beaters. P.s. I’m not trying be a smart ass, I know the NCAA was tossing around the possibility of going w/ 4 quarters & maybe this strange COVID year is giving conferences some flexibility?

I like it. I also like only 8 teams going to Cleveland. It makes the regular season more meaningful.

I know the MAC East is tough, but OU's been a disappointment.

That's some old school basketball.

Wow. Nice left-handed finish from Tribble.

Lotta bench time for Dailey.

Young combo on the court. Clarke, Tribble, Dawson, and Marshall. Plus Reece. See how the young bucks do.

So far this season Dailey's been a colossal disappointment for me. Remembering his game from high school I was thrilled when he transferred here. 6-7, quick, can handle the ball, drive with either hand, and a smooth stroke from 3. Crazy talented. I know he didn't do well at Iowa, but in Groce I trust and I thought Groce's loooooooong leashes and green lights and uptempo style would get Dailey going and he'd blossom. But not thus far. And this with Groce really grooming him & massaging his ego/confidence. Maishe's still just playing like he's got butterflies the size of Mothra.

It just dawned on my that with the season in the spring this year we missed David Egbo's senior season ??

Ah, right. Lol

Who is Halford, again?

He was freaking out over some Akron/Canton Pro-Am film of Freeman and we were all rolling our eyes saying, “Settle down.” But I don’t think I could find the post(s).

Vince Kerhes, whom I was sorta pulling for last time ‘round.

Rich Rodriguez.

??

It ended up being Greg Tribble. I really like the D he played on Turner.

Announcer: "They continue to be perfect from the free throw line." Announcer: "Akron is not the team you want to get into a free throw contest with, if it comes down to that."

Maybe... maybe... on an interim basis. But not really. That's why I mentioned in my previous post that the rest of the staff has to be rather anxious right now.

For sure. So... the entire football staff is probably kinda freaked out right now, right?

I'm blocked by him too because I tweeted that it was "suboptimal" that the ABJ have 4-5 reporters at a Browns game instead of having a single reporter at our Sunday game -v- Louisville last season ?
