Not to take away from the discussion on the artwork, but...Coach Kest is doing a fantastic job with this team. For those of us who are in attendance at each and every Zips home basketball game, it is very easy and safe to say that the 5-5 record SHOULD ACTUALLY be 7-3.In the home opener, soph phenom Niki McCoy had a running jumper rim out on her, touching every part of the rim but the bottom as time expired and Valpo to escaped with the win - is as nice as I can put it. It was a BRUTAL way to lose for a team that has not seen themselves in that many games with so little time remaining in the past few seasons. The ladies then let the second home game of the year slip away just about in the same fashion when with just 18 seconds remaining the had Zips the lead but then Dayton hit a three-pointer with just eight seconds left to give the Flyers the win.Coach Kest and her staff have done a great job realizing what it is that they have to work with that is left over from the previous staff's recruiting. They have tried to bring the pace of the game to the speed that they want - and need - to be playing it at. McCoy just keeps getting better and better, true frosh Riana Miller has played her way into the starting line-up and will not be leaving it for the next four years. If she maintains this pace, watch for Miller to receive serious consideration for MAC All-Freshman team.Another super Frosh is PG Sarah Tokodi. She came to AK-Rowdyville as a serious threat at shooting guard. When many Zips fans heard that it was the staff's intent to mold her into a point guard, we have horrendous flushbacks to recent point guard failures of the past. But Tokodi has taken to the role VERY well and makes smart plays when distributing the ball and still has the ability to go to the hoop when given the opportunity or need.Now don't get me wrong, there is still a LONG way to go for the ladies. The MAC season is right around the corner and opens with of all teams - the nationally-ranked BG Falcons at Rhodes Arena on January 3, followed by K ent on January 6 (ouch). But with the Zips first four game win streak and the first time they have been at .500 through ten games since 1995-96, there is alot to be positive about with the women's basketball team.

If you were at the Spring Football game last Saturday, you saw a MOUNTAIN of a man named Jason Sekinger - the transfer offensive lineman from Minnesota. He is a LEGIT 6'9", 340 behemoth. He without question literally stands heads and shoulders above anyone on the Zips roster.When is eligible to join the Zips as a starter in the fall of 2007, he will have three years of eligibilty remaining. No doubt, he will hone his skills at the Bowl and I am sure that we will see him somewhere in the NFL after his Zips career is over.

As far as the time table is concerned for the completion of the new stadium on campus, I would not be surprised if it was scheduled to open in 2009. That year the University of Kentucky is on the schedule, slated for a home game here in Akron. Now while the Wildcats are not a premier SEC team, it would be the biggest name we have had come to play in Akron in some time. So why bring in a team from a BCS conference to play in the Rubber Bowl that might not accomodate?
