I missed 13. I've only been around for 22 of those thirty years though =P

you know what, now that LeFevour is no longer a MAC rival, I wish him the best of luck. How lucky to be able to play for the team you grew up watching. I expect him to compete for Cutler's starting position within a couple years, especially if Cutler has a year like he did last year. I don't understand why guys are making fun of him here. We should want conference members to make it to the NFL. It brings cred to the MAC. We need all the cred we can get the MAC. So do you root for #7 from Pittsburgh? 2x Rapist, 1x motorcycle stunt man, all-time douchebag no, but I don't dislike him because he is from the MAC. I dislike him because of his character.

No media pass yet.

as per zipmail last friday(April 9),

not yet. Zip Watcher is going to put is in contact so we will see where that goes; I'll keep you guys posted though for sure.

dorm

Ask and ye shall receive ladies and gents.

much appreciated. I'll PM you my phone number and full name. thanks, guys.

I will be more than happy to get photos of dorms and parking deck. I realized after I posted this that the spring game was this weekend. I will be going and bringing my cam. I'll be sure to get some shots. Maybe I could get a media pass before then thanks for the encouragement as well.

After coming through with some pictures of the soccer field construction, it occurred to me that I could actually be of some service to the members of Zipsnation. So, without further ado, I would like to formally present my resume for official Zipsnation.org photographer. Name: Brian G Age: 22 Availability: Open. Already has free access to all UA sporting events Equipment: Canon EOS Rebel XSi 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS Kit Lens Canon EF-S 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS Lens Cullmann Nanomax 260 Tripod Work Samples: Basically, what I am asking for is for the powers-that-be here to look into getting some sort of media pass for myself, or at least someone else from the forum. All of these shots were taken from the stands. I know I could get even better shots if I were closer. I definitely don't want to get paid. The closer access would be enough for me. If there is some sort of price to pay the University for a media pass, I'd be glad to pay for it at least chip in. I'm not looking for any freebies. Just a title and more access. It also wouldn't be limited to sporting events. IE today, where I took pictures of the soccer field (de)construction; I realize that doesn't even require a media pass, but if anyone had anymore requests I would be glad to throw it in my schedule. Thoughts? Comments?

Ask and ye shall receive.

Huh? Easier than Butler's I suppose, but Duke was a 1 and Butler was a 5. You would expect that Duke would have an easier run. Or are you referring to all of the 1 seeds? of all the one seeds, yes. Duke has been known to bring in the most viewers so the selection committee put them in the easiest side of the bracket so as to keep them in the Tourney as long as possible.

Consider me waiting for the "Duke had the easiest run to the title game because they have the best turnout" bandwagon, because I want to hop on.

I win. lol http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showtopic=17908#

Maybe. Or maybe it's because those dorms are the farthest away from any classrooms. Schools occasionally like to "punish" freshmen like that. that's not true at all. Bulger is probably the most central dorm on campus and it is a freshman-only dorm(unless the proper paperwork is filled out or something).

don't expect #25 in the backfield either any longer....

heard about last night's game on the way back to Akron today. They are comparing him to DJ Cooper so az71 should be excited! The reporter said the MAC better watch out because he might not settle for a mid-major. Here's hoping KD can reel him in.

agreed. Glad someone posted that. I am unfortunately on the Cooper bandwagon. Such amazing poise for a youngster.

Totally agree. Gtown had height, OU had shooters who are amazing athletes. It would have been a very poor match for us. All I want for Christmas is a guard who can shoot like that! I think Akron would have gotten the 13 seed if they had beat OU in the MAC tournament. But chances are we would have lost anyway considering how bad our defense was throught the tournament. I don't know. Gtown, a #3 seed and a top national program had MORE trouble with those two than we did. It may be not so much how bad we were as how good they were. right. Because Georgetown is probably worse than UWGB, too, right? UMM. this is a BIG TIME PROGRAM and possibly the best MAC win ever: Georgetown Hoyas Tournament Appearances: 25 Final Fours: 5 Championships: 1 (1984) Win-Loss: 45-24 Georgetown Best Tournament Performances TEAM BESTS PLAYER BESTS STAT SEASON OPPONENT VALUE SEASON PLAYER VALUE PTS 1996 Texas Tech, 98-90 98 1987 Reggie Williams 34 FG% 1982 Oregon State, 69-45 .744 1990 Alonzo Mourning 1.000 FT 1996 Texas Tech, 98-90 33 1987 Reggie Williams 16 FT% 1982 North Carolina, 62-63 .889 1984 Michael Jackson 1.000 3PM 2008 Davidson, 70-74 10 1987 Charles Smith 5 3P% 1994 Illinois, 84-77 .750 1989 Dwayne Bryant .833 REB 2001 Hampton, 76-57 51 1990 Dikembe Mutombo 16 you were arguing for the fact that Akron may have beat Georgetown as well. I wanted you to remember that just last night we lost to UWGB...

try 14.5. Good thing I only put $0.50 on it.

if Ohio wins it's gonna ruin both of my brackets... and I am/was 8 for 8 so far on Yahoo. It just hurts to see them doing well. I don't like the bobkittens. Anyone else in the MAC(other than Can't) I would support.

couple schools that stand out looking for H&H's are Arizona State Georgia Northeastern New Mexico State Richmond Siena Wright State I think a couple of those teams could be achievable. There are also a lot of quality guarantees I think the Zips could take advantage of. But seeing this makes me even more disappointed with UA's scheduling.
