Blue & Gold

In basketball? Who would that have been?

I was thinking the same thing about the Beacon Journal.Ooooooooooh!

The ABJ has reported that CVCA's John Pettigrew verballed to BGSU.http://www.ohio.com/sports/38570464.htmlI wish JP well. However, I never got the vibe that Akron was pursuing him all that hard.

I'm not getting in on this argument here, but if you guys want to see something that's rather depressing, go to Rivals and check out the Conference USA recruiting classes. As far as star-ratings go, their classes are absolutely blowing ours out of the water.

I hope we can keep the rivalry with YSU going. I really enjoy the NEOhio rivalries - YSU, CSU and Can't - they're always so intense! The games are fun, meaningful and always worth the price of a ticket. Hopefully we can get CSU back on the schedule very soon.

What did Geno say about Al Fisher? Fisher is a fantastic player. Coming into the season I thought he was going to be one of the best PG's in the country. But he does really seem to be struggling. Did Q make that big of a difference in Fisher's game as well?

GameChanger, did you and you family have a fun time this past Saturday?!

There is a good shot (#9) of Mclanahan (sp?) where you can tell how muscular he is. How tall is he? 6'4"? He's got a great build for a frosh and is going to be a good one. Also, there is a great sequence of Humpty (also a very muscular guard) celebrating after a big 3 toward the end of the game.

I can't help it. If 8-10 K.e.n.t. is coming into our house, and someone wants to post (on the UA board) that we don't have the talent to beat them...well...you gotta be prepared to prepared to defend the point, or take a little heat.That said...to prove I'm not totally unreasonable...I'll remove the .gif. Acceptable compromise?man the .gif was what made it...too badI missed the .gif I want to see the .gif!

Good question. I'd hope that the coaches all put their heads together and mulled that one over for a couple of days before pulling the trigger.

I DVR'd the game & watched it late last night. Chris McKnight had a good game and was very active down low. B-Mac is aggressive offensively and, on this team, I like that. Bardo played well and Roberts is an athletic defender, amazing @ the line, and not afraid of clutch shots. I do like the athletic back court of Roberts and Hitchens. Nik is BIG, confident and skilled - I still wish he got even more PT. McClanahan played what, 4-5 minutes? Kind of a waste of a red-shirt, but, as someone mentioned, this probably sheds light on the severity of Ronnie Stewards' condition. Get better, Ronnie! You're in our prayers! Humpty was the best player on the floor. By the time it is time for the all-important annual trip to The Q this team is going to be just fine. Perhaps even feared!

Thanks for posting that link, Gamechanger! Good read!

I want a long-sleeved Akron soccer jersey. I've checked GoZips.com and couldn't find any in the teamshop. Does anyone know if such a jersey is available to purchase?

Well, Patrick Nicely makes his official visit to UA today. What a crappy-awful day for an official visit!!! 2 feet of snow and -27 wind chill factor outside!!! Wow!

<br /><br /><br />Sweet! But I wasn't able to listen tonight. Could you guys give us a rundown over on the new post-show thread?

Well I certainly wish him well. I was excited when Jose signed and he certainly passed the eyeball test. He's got a ton of potential and I'm sorry it didn't work out for him here at Akron. Best wishes, Jose. Go Zips!

<br /><br /><br />I'm one of the unfortunate souls unable to tune in tonight. Can you say more specifically what was said about Steve Sweich?

Why does the east side upper deck not seem to extend the entire length of the field?

Coach Dambrot:Any update on Ronnie Steward's status would be great! Thank you!

Coach Dambrot:Why hasn't Steven Swiech gotten more playing time? What does he need to work on to see the floor? Has his attitude remained mostly positive even though he's not getting a lot of PT?

Well, yeah, but I thought they were cool! I was showing mine to people all day yesterday. I'm always looking for any reason to start a conversation about The Info!

He was just joking with you, because in your previous post regarding Chester Taylor, you wrote that Chester is "not" making millions of $$$ in the NFL when you clearly intended to write that Chester Tayler is "now" making millions of $$$ in the league.I'll bet we have more former players not making millions in the NFL than Toledo has not making millions in the NFL!

Wow!!! Now that is an impressive triple-double! Sometimes you see a triple-double @ 10-10-10, but to score 25 in a triple-double effort is outstanding! Zeke must be getting quite comfortable scoring the ball? He sure looked comfortable and confident on the court when I was able to watch him play in the LeBron-Akron AAU tourney.ESPN The Magazine?!?! Don't get TOO big a head big fella!!! I know I sure would!!! Lol

GoZips,This sounds like it is more of a coaching error and should maybe rest on KD's shoulders moreso than the inexperience of our current roster? Why don't you think KD wanted to respond w/ a press of our own? With Rhody's size could they simply throw over top of a press?And what did you mean by we played like a "tank" team?Also, how did you like Rhody's arena? It looks great from online pictures. Is that the size of b-ball facility Akron could use? Or would you shoot for something a bit larger?

29 point blowouts seem to have that effect. Ouch!!! I knew URI would be tough, but this was pretty bad. Oh well, the MAC sucks so let's hope we can suck the least!What is up with this team? This wasn't Duke or NC. It was RI for crying out loud.I don't care how good you want to say they are, to lose to them by 29 is a disgrace.Amen. We shouldn't lose to ANYONE by 29. Not even North Carolina w/ a healthy Tyler H. Maybe KD needs to start kickin' this team's ass a little bit?
