Here's to a good LOI day!

Best .jpg ever posted on this board!!!!!!

Can we just fast forward to August?

You always dangle those carrots CK... c'mon, state? position? "rating"? Give us something here.

This is welcome news, hopefully he can get back into game shape soon.

Bain was never offered by OSU, Johnson spurned OSU for Miami FL and tallied only 35 carries there in three years (hence, OSU wasn't interested in him when he xfered to Akron), Torrence and Kennedy had scholarships pulled by OSU and then landed at Akron.CK understands what I'm getting at... there are no football players who have had an offer on the table from OSU and thumbed their nose at it to come to Akron. That's not really a competition, it's more just wishing we had some of their players. And we do, how great would it have been if Chris Wells would have stayed home? Maybe we will someday, but in the meantime, who are we trying to kid? I really think OSU gets used as a convenient scapegoat for our program's shortcomings.

I'm not interested in making a list for you, but I'll start it with this one"A Florida coach who worked at the camp called Brookhart late in the summer to tell him Kennedy no longer had the scholarship he was offered that spring by Ohio State."So, none then?

Let's see the list of football recruits who were offered by OSU and enrolled at Akron.

The MAC West is a joke, and we drew their "best" team (sub .500 overall record) at home this year... we should expect to go 6-0 against them. The East is already 5-0 against them head-to-head.

Nice to see that ESPNU picked up one of our road games for a change.This was a quality win for such a young team to pull out on the road. Hitchens makes some silly decisions and takes some ill-advised shots, but I think he has emerged as the very clear gem of this sizable freshman class... can't wait to see what kind of player he turns out to be when he's more "seasonsed". Cventinovic seems to play better the more chances he gets as well. It's also nice to have a guy (Roberts) who shoots 97% at the foul line to help close out close games.We started out losing two games that we shouldn't have, but I'm perfectly happy to give such an inexperienced team a couple of free passes (next year will be a different story). We're three points away from being 3-0 against three MAC East teams. If everything comes together by March, no one would count us out of the hunt for a trip to the dance. Oh, and can anyone enlighten me as to what's the point in burning McClanahan's redshirt this late in the season?

I've been trying for a couple years to find one as well... haven't been successful.Being able to easily order a Seattle Sounders "ZAKUANI #11" jersey from bigsoccer.com will have to do until the team shop decides to carry UA jerseys.

I realized that and edited my post right as you were quoting me ZIP.

It's a complete travesty that he didn't win the Hermann, but I'm sure this is some consolation.Hopefully he does well with Seattle next year, we'll obviously miss him.

Bummer, solid effort though, especially on the defensive end.

Typical Miami halftime score... 19-19.

...and then 11 points in the next two minutes lol.

Yay! A bucket! And it only took six minutes!

Abysmal start. Who the heck is McNees throwing these passes to?

Buffalo will finish 5th or 6th in the MAC East, bank on it.

Gametracker has us up 27-18 w/ 8:00 to go in the first half.http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/gamecast?gameId=283662430

Sure, the only thing I've taken issue with is GP1's dismissal of the progress that Dambrot has made here.

Yeah, on second thought, I'm with CK on this one... this comment is effusive with praise for what Coach D has done for UA hoops. In no way is GP1's juxtaposition of Waters' CSU team handing Can't their lunch vs. mocking the accomplishments of the Akron in the past few years a backhanded swipe at KD. I stand corrected, CSU is the new face of NEO D-I college hoops, and we're kidding ourselves by thinking that we're any better now than we were five years ago.

CK, I don't think that's the part that anyone would take issue with. This, on the other hand is nonsense from a jaded Dambrot hater who's happy to ignore the fact that KD has improved the Akron basketball program across the board and that its future has never been brighter...

Yeah, I'm with GP1, bring back Hipsher!

Evans had 12 on 4-of-13 shooting. Fisher had a particularly rough game (1-7, 2 points). Well done to the Vikes.I have to admit I thought that the three-headed monster of Fisher, Singletary, and Evans would end up bringing Can't another MAC title... this proves that at the very least they've got a lot of progress to make. It might be anybody's tournament in March up at the Q.
