  3. Remember the Titans

    in Akron Zips Basketball

    Greatest Bardo move ever. The ball went to him inside with his back to the bucket. He spun around, faked the defender off his feet and banked it in. I am in total shock and awe.

    I think every Zips fan watching this game said the same thing. Especially against a guy who is a solid defender in Holman.

    As far as Zeke...man, I don't know if he's instructed to pop out and defend the perimeter in the zone, but he's just not quick enough with those long pointy knees and elbows, especially when the opposing Gs are fast like tonight. Another silly foul picked up in that fashion tonight.

  5. UMass *did* join the MAC

    I think we should do it. Then move BG or Miami to the West for football. Balanced divisions is important. UMass football has some potential to grow.

    I think we should do it. But leave western division at 6 teams and increase eastern division to 8 teams. Would help make the MAC unique.

    14 teams? There are parallels here.

  6. We're Not Losers Anymore!

    What an AWFUL call at a critical time. We can still blow it. Only in the MAC could a quarterback have the ball in his non throwing arm, get the ball slapped out, and then determine they have conclusive evidence that it was a forward pass. Ridiculous.

    Let's see if they rule this fumble and incomplete pass as well.

    MAC officials have unlimited screw ups...especially in crunch time.

  8. Buffalo Game

    I don't know if anyone else is watching this mess, but wow is it like watching a bad high school game. I have no optimism toward this program whatsoever. Very depressing.

    at least our vaunted kicking tandum is graduating.

    Could Igor have missed those two XPs on purpose? Sure looked that way. Do we have anyone that can kick as an underclassman? I suppose it couldn't be worse..

  10. Buffalo Game

    I've resigned myself to the couch to watch this one. Knowing my luck, I'd get pneumonia watching the 12th loss of the year.

    How about K-ent knocking of OU? Phew...Miami from 1 win to (somewhat illegitimate) MAC East Champs. I think NIU rolls them in Detroit, but still good for them on the turnaround.

  11. Cleveland State Game

    This game (like Dayton) was won on the glass. In addition, CSU played MUCH better defense than the Zips. Did you see how they completely took away the 3 ball with their perimeter defense? I think we attempted 3 or 4 from behind the arc that entire 20 minutes. We seemed lost when we played the inside-out game with Zeke and then the perimeter shots were not only covered well, but we were unable to get off an attempt for the most part. McClanahand was again one of the only reasons we were in the game. It appears that he and Zeke are the only ones able to create their own shot. I think QD has that ability and will eventually gain that confidence that's needed to open those lanes driving to the rim.

    I'm confident that this team will gel and be another solid squad under KD, but man these next 4 games on the road are going to be ROUGH. We could be 2-6 before coming home to face the mighty Bethune Cookmans. How will the team handle adversity? I'm not sure that any of the guys have ever been below .500 in college, let alone 4 games under. Still optimistic, but dimmed slightly.

  13. Zips-Miami

    Hmmm...I wonder if that accurately represents total season ticket holders? They couldn't have sold more than 100 walkup seats. Oh, and the low point of the evening? Not the 4th quarter INT nor the game ending fumble. It was at about 10 last night when I fast forwarded through the DVR and found out neither myself nor my paper bag made an appearance on espnu. :(

  18. Another Dayton Preview of Akron Game

    in Akron Zips Basketball

    Still gotta give the guy credit, that was a pretty entertaining preview.

    I believe I read that the game is being aired in its entirety on the alternate FS Ohio channel. According to foxsportsohio.com, the alternate channel for Time Warner in the Cleveland area (including Akron) is 310.

    Thanks for the info on TWC alternate channel. I'd given up after searching for "College Basketball." Channel 310 says a continuous "Data Not Available" on it's portion of the guide.

    Nicely written preview. I even chuckled a couple times. I did laugh out loud at an exchange in the comments:

    Guy one: My prediction is two Martinis and 3 Miller Lites for THIS guy!

    Guy two: Martinis and Miller Lights, really? Translation: "I like nice things in my house. Please poop in my mouth." :lol: :lol: :lol:

  20. Hey Tom

    Mike Waddell was fantastic for the University from a PR prespective. Got to know him fairly well through the old Zips Live at Spaghetti Warehouse. Never had the chance to meet Mike Thomas. I was also a big fan of Mack from the PR side. He came up and introduced himself to myself and some friends (a bunch of 20-somethings) at the 2007 MACC pregame basketball party. Even took the time to talk a little and clink beer bottles and thank us for coming. One would think social skills are necessary for a D1 AD, not just donor a$$ kissing. I've seen Youboob several times downtown as I hike the 4 blocks from my parking lot to work. He's always out for a run, and despite a smile and "hi" from me, I don't even get so much as a smirk or head nod.

  24. "Off Week" Debate

    in Akron Zips Football

    Posted

    I think $10 is a perfectly fair general admission price for a program in the shape of the Zips right now. That's what people in Akron pay to see AA Baseball at Cannal Park. Start winning? Raise the prices...follow the Jacobs Field Model.

    I have made the difficult decision NOT to be back as a football season ticket holder. Perhaps my 3 Reserved seat $$ goes to soccer tickets, or perhaps an upgrade to reserved at the JAR. All I know is that I work way too hard for my money to support a program that I see ZERO progress being made with. It's just my opinion, and I wish I felt differently. Start putting up some Ws and I may catch a game or two next year...and maybe eventually be back to buy for the season. For now, though, I'm content to watch the Zips lose from my comfy couch.

    Coach didn't botch a PAT that should be automatic at this point in the kicker's career.

    Please tell me this didn't actually happen....

    Well, first a penalty was called on a play that special teams should be able to do in their sleep. The penalty was on Igor himself (illegal shift?) and then he took it upon himself to blow the extra point on the second attempt from the incredibly difficult distance of 25 yards.
