  1. As UA career winds down, Kwan Cheatham continues to improve, which bodes well for March and beyond A human interest, non-pregame and/or postgame Zips story from the Akron Beacon Journal!!! “There’s guys that deserve to be successful. This guy deserves to be successful,” Dambrot said. “It just took a while for it to all come.”
  2. I'm calling it now... the first truly disappointing season of the KD era. We'll finish in the middle of the MAC, behind OU, Buffalo & K.e.nt & not win KD's coveted 21 games.
  3. Idk if it's physiological or psychological, but I wish we still had the freshman Noah.
  4. I've gotta disagree with this. Toe injuries can be almost completely debilitating. Didn't chronic turf toe help end Deion Sander's career?
  5. @ Buffalo & @ K.ent are going to be tough places to get a W. But we'd have to hit thermonuclear meltdown mode to not win the regular season title. Btw, regular season title?
  6. Am I reading that right? Joe Akron actually pulling for a new downtown arena for his beloved Zippers?!
  7. According to twitter, and a tweet I neither retweeted nor can find again, Pete was offered by Florida.
  8. Zips rally behind Kwan Cheatham to drop Rockets It’s safe to say that the slump that hit Cheatham for a three-game stretch is over. He lifted the Zips high enough on his shoulders to give them an opportunity to win. At one point, the Rockets (13-13, 6-7 in MAC) were beating the Zips in every significant offensive category to take an 11-point lead midway through the second half. Then Cheatham went to work...
  9. Josh is playing well!
  10. Touche'.
  11. Akron Beacon: Zips, coach Keith Dambrot continue to reach milestones
  12. City passes $966 million in 2017 spending plans Akron City Council wrapped up a month of budget deliberations Monday by passing a $375 million operating budget and nearly $590 million in capital projects for 2017. The city is spending $590 million in capital projects this year alone and can't afford to build a downtown arena?
  13. This is what frustrates me. The staff just needs to get on the phone w/ every middling P5 school in the country & say we'll come play you at your house, no strings attached.
  14. Not to hijack the Jerome Lane thread, but this explains a lot about Pittman's lackluster year: Pittman is still waiting. This past season was supposed to be his for the taking. But a deep bruise in his heel forced him to play hurt most of the season. He was limited and not as explosive from his defensive end position...
  15. I didn't read the article, but one would expect a blogger from Buffalo to be strongly biased toward UB just as we're strongly biased toward UA. No biggie. I'm for anything that stokes the rivalry.
  16. Annnnnd... the Buffalo game got moved. 8:00 Friday night, February 24th. I've already got an event which I planned to free up my Saturday afternoon precisely so I could watch our rematch w/ UB
  17. Does anyone know if we're recruiting 2018 Solon PG Sincere Carry? He's been tearing it up for a couple years now & just this past weekend dropped 38 on St. Ignatius. Next year (Sin's senior year in high school) we're going to have 2 senior PG's, but after that we're going to need one. Don't yet know if TDM will make a viable starting PG at this level. I love TDM's potential & moxie, but he's awfully undersized.
  18. If this is true I think it's a great idea to give season tickets holders a little perk. Because of my schedule I did not buy season tickets this year & thought they had raised the GA price by $5 this year. Without a season ticket they cost me $15 per. I would have saved $$ if I had just bought a season ticket & simply didn't use them half the time. P.s. Just an FYI, I get GA tickets so I wouldn't be responsible for a disgusting, empty blue seat in the lower bowl!
  19. It's taken them this long to figure that one out?
  20. Where do you see they're discounting the K.ent tickets? Are you referring to the 3-game ticket package?
