Blue & Gold

Very good point.

+1.

Good question. I remember Bob Huggins comment/gripe about how his graduation rate at Cincy was deceptively low because most of his players would leave after 4 years (but before completing their degree work) to play in Europe. It'd be rather ironic to have a team stocked w/ academic all-americans yet have a low graduation rate. (Not an irony Huggy Bear ever had to endure. Lol.)

By now I figured Zach would have found something else out about this guy (I wasn't able to find anything). Any 411 out there, Zach?!

Chipotle rumored for downtown! Hopefully on the south side. Also, a new hookah bar is opening up in the Kaiser Building across from Canal Park. I believe it's called the Karma Kafe. Lux is moving into 22 Exchange. And the link also mentions the new Nervous Dog Coffeehouse that is going in next to Brubaker's Pub. Our downtown is starting to rock!

My thoughts, to a tee. bobbyake, I like your style. But I must admit, I ALWAYS have butterflies before the Can't games - either basketball or football. I didn't have butterflies before the Columbus State game a few years ago. But you could probably chalk that up to low expectations.

Good find & thanks for the link, kentzip. Dajour Morris sounds like another very good get! Way to go, iCoach! Go Zips!

thanks for the heads up! Ill be heading over that way tonight to check it out Did anyone get a shot of this that you could post? Here ya go Ooooooooooooh! Thank you!

Frank Clark is a great target. We're still in the running for a handful of very impressive prospects! Go iCoach!!! Here's a nice update on Nick Rossi. Sounds like we've got another (bigger) Brian Wagner in this guy. Nick Rossi selected for 5-State All-Star Game!

thanks for the heads up! Ill be heading over that way tonight to check it out Did anyone get a shot of this that you could post?

WoooHooo!!!

Booooooo!!!

Once again, thanks for the preview, Quickzips! Well done!

Thanks for taking the time, Dr. Z! Thanks for taking the time, Vinnie! Glad to have you a part of the Akron family! Go Zips!

Marla's take on Hazell.

Thanks for the preview! Well done!

Priceless!!! Thank you, ITZ!

I'd give my left nut to beat any Big East basketball program, under any circumstances. Also noticed that Hunter Yurachek's new school beat LSU last night? Nice win for the Chanticliers. In all fairness it should be pointed out that the Captain has three testicles and losing his left one would make him more closely resemble a normal human being. It should also be noted that the Captain is volunteering only to relinquish his left nut, which, in most men, hangs lower than the right. So to secure a win over a Big East opponent, our fearless Captain is really only willing to give up the "low hanging fruit," so to speak.

POST IT!

Amen. You guys are officially America's soccer hooligans!!! Take your show to the JAR!!!

Thanks for the link! Great article! Unlike most of TP's UA drivel, this piece was not patronizing in the least. Excellent, serious-minded read. Here's a great quote: "Before the [championship game], [Porter] told us two things," said Nanchoff. "He asked us to promise him that we leave everything on the field -- no regrets about how we played. Then he asked us to remember that the players on the team will be our friends for life." Nanchoff said the second part really became reality after the game, when the team went to the beach. "To celebrate, we ran into the [Pacific] ocean," he said. "Some guys had their uniforms still on. The coaches, the staff, all of us went right in. The water was cold. We were laughing. It was a real moment to remember." A championship moment to be forever savored, one that no other Akron team had ever experienced before. That makes me appreciate the Ocean Celebration video footage all the more! That was a sincere, spontaneous & forever-memorable moment in those young men's lives. Priceless!!!

Thanks for the link. Though I don't know any of the players personally, according to literally everything that I hear they are all good guys. It's really an amazing side that Caleb has assembled. ("Side." Couldn't resist throwing a little futbol lingo in there. I know just enough to be dangerous!)

While I'm not impressed either, remember to not put too much weight in the "stars" from recruiting sites. How many of our past 3-star guys have gone on to be actual stars? Very true.

Definitely. The 'Rowdies sounded great on tv. What if the 'Rowdies would come up with some chants to sing during the basketball game? I think you guys have a nation reputation now as America's soccer hooligans. Maybe carry that over into the JAR. Would that help get some more 'Rowdies out to support the b-ball Zippers?
