Fearless forecast: OU Beats Kent OU Beats Toledo Akron beats BG Buffalo beats Miami Akron beats Buffalo OU beats Akron <--head says this, not heart. I think the fresh legs prevail for OU during the 2nd and 3rd games in 3 nights.

Last live sporting event for me. Also my oldest boy's first rivalry game. Good memories.

Quarters: ESPN+ Semis: CBS Sports Finals: ESPN2 Cable-free houses like mine: Start planning your free trials to access CBS Sports, should we advance.

Could be both. We're just over 4 months since preseason practice began, so some could potentially lose immunity and test positive again.

MAC officially canceled it. Are we sure it's us and not Miami?

Gozips dot com release.

100% spot on. Chances are he'd see a reduction in pay if they were even going to offer to extend. If you ask me, this is a pretty shitty pot-shot quote as well. Completely unnecessary: "However, it is clear that college athletics is shifting and may, in fact, be on the verge of significant change. I would like to be at a different vantage point in my personal and professional life as that change occurs."

Zips got it within 8 and had the ball. Dailey dribbled around for 10 seconds and unleashed a runner from the left elbow that barely drew iron. Bulls turned it into a 3 point play on the other end to go up 11 with about 3:30 to go. Huge momentum swing, but it says a lot that the Zips still closed within 2 to end it. Gotta feel a little better about possibly facing the Bulls in Cleveland.

Perimeter defense and ice cold 3 point shooting.

Our shooting is so bad lately. It reminds me of the NIT loss to OSU season where the whole team got a contagious case of brick-itis. Except now it's from the field.

I'm gonna go get some work done outside. Ouch.

Had to log out and back in on my smart TV. Technology. 😕

Anyone else unable to get ESPN3 to work?

This might be the worst effort I've seen from the team since Groce has been here. Back to work for me.

4 point swing right there.

No Gavin Clarke today?

Looks like we'll finally get bitten from our sh*tty first half. Where's that 2nd half team from the game in Muncie?

I wish we'd shoot some 2 point shots.

Ohio has an advantage from practicing in a big, cold, empty gym like the Convocation Center. Shooting in an empty cavern really messes with depth perception, I'd have to guess we'll adjust and get used to the setting soon.

Every time I watch a game on ESPN3 from Athens, I'm amazed by how much the announcers are homers. It's like having Steve French call a game on a TV network. I thought they were supposed to at least try to be impartial.

He was off. A couple blown defensive assignments off the ball and a particularly lazy almost turnover late in the 1st half doomed him to the bench for most of the 2nd half. I remember watching the play in question as he handled the ball up top, accidentally dribbled behind his back(?) and then threw a lazy one -handed pass to the wing that was nearly picked off. Groce exploded on the sideline.

Time for Dailey to be cut back more on minutes. Man, bad shooting and mistakes seniors shouldn't be making.

Zips are 5 point road favorites in this one. Hope the guys are ready, because the Cardinals really took it to Toledo in Muncie two weeks ago. I've got my Youtube TV free subscription trial lined up. Unfortunately, they've shortened the free trial to 5 days and the Zips' next 3 are on CBS Sports Network. Looks like my wife may need a free trial subscription next week before the BG game....

Saw this on their message board and laughed, but then realized you gotta dig deep when your team has finished above Akron in the MAC standings exactly TWICE in the last EIGHTEEN YEARS.

How huge is that makeup game Tuesday at OU? Obviously pending results from this coming Friday, both UT (@Canada) and UA (@Ball State) have tough games.
