Blue & Gold

He's explosive like Ivey but with a better handle & much more natural outside shot. Here's another near eye-to-rim-level throw down.

I'm already regretting it and we have four years of weeping and gnashing our teeth to look forward to.

Good call. Charles E. Smith Center @ George Washington University

One of my favorite points in the telecast was about two minutes in. Antino had just missed deeeeep 3-point shot early in the shot clock & the announcer said, "I just looked over at Keith Dambrot to see if he thought that was a bad shot... HE DIDN'T! Apparently Antino's got the green light like that."

Have you happened to have seen Cornerstone Christian's Michael Bothwell?

I need one too. I posted that I thought we'd lose by double-digits.

He's joking about Ivey missing that layup. Earlier in the year he said he loved Ivey because he makes his layups.

You're thinking of Ivey.

Agreed. I'd prefer this every year.

Due to construction at Ford Field, the 2017 MAC Media Day will be held at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

This man feels your pain.

I just don't have confidence in this team. Kinda felt this way all year, even after we hung close w/ Gonzaga & held our own against Creighton. I'm betting we get beat by 10+.

Finally someone mentions a more accurate assessment of Big Dog's weight. To have listed him at 295 was laughable.

Too bad it states that. If you read the thread only 1 or maybe 2 wing nuts want KD fired. Everyone else, rightfully so IMHO, simply want KD to shake things up a little bit.

I wish men's b-ball would just adopt a typical 4 quarters format.

+1.

All signs to point toward KD wanting to retire at Akron.

Have you seen Cleveland Heights' Yahel Hill?

+1. Any upgrades they may or may not do to the JAR should be strictly looked upon as a stop gap measure until they build a new arena. This is another inconvenient truth. Whenever I take a friend to the game & they ask where the restrooms are, I just take them myself because I know it's difficult to find if you don't know where it is. (One restroom?! Are you kidding me?! Jeesh.)

I love him. He hurt his knee (s?) over the summer which may have caused some schools to shy away? Do you know anything about his recruitment?

Just for vanity and as a community phallic symbol, I'd hope we'd at least aim for an 8,000-seat venue.

As it is now you have to be a Zips basketball purist/diehard to go to a game. Neither the venue nor the opponents are a draw.

It'd be great if we could get just one marquee P6 home OOC game per year. Not asking for the moon. And it doesn't have to be Duke. Some low-life P6 team would do just fine.

George Thomas on the NIT & on Dambrot turning down USF to stay at Akron. I appreciate GT highlighting the lousiness of the J.A.R. as compared to USF's Sun Dome and calls on the community to do something about it: It’s a worst-kept secret that Rhodes Arena is in need of a significant overhaul or replacement. Word is that behind the scenes there are those working diligently to accomplish that at UA. But the fact that Dambrot is getting offers should surprise no one. A significant part of any program is the facilities it can offer athletes. If the community at large appreciates what Dambrot has accomplished with the Zips, it needs to show support. Thanks, GT!

George Thomas discusses the travel to Houston He also discusses KD turning down USF, so I'm going to repost this in the KD thread as well. I like that GT draws attention to the lousy J.A.R. in comparison to USF's Sun Dome & calls for the community to do something about it.
