four winnable games to start the season? I like it.

Reading these comments, I'm embarrassed to be a zips fan. This is the definition of fairweather. Four straight thwenty win seasons and you turn on em like that? Browns fans make sense to me now...

I believe if humpty wouldn't have been suspended, he wouldn't have played like that tonight

see you guys on the bandwagon when we start winning again.

I can't wait to see what Coach Ianello does when he has more than a few weeks to recruit "his" kids from this class seem to all be very talented.

For the Zips to be an NCAA tourney team, they have to win the MAC tourney, just like last year, weak schedule and all.If you're content with leaving the MAC 'ship as our only way in, and then going one and out because we play MAC teams all year, and sub-MAC teams before that, then good for you. That's not enough for me, and it sure as hell isn't good enough for anyone in that locker room.

Yep, UA has to earn it the same way Can't did with many years of success. Buffalo is a tough competitor with classy fans. I think we can have a good rivalry without hating each other.what kind of rivalry would that be?

true. maybe someday we can beat you in the MAC championship and become a real threat :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep....well not that it matters when you hit 13 of 25 from the line. It'd be a manageable game right now if we hit 75%.not that it matters, but you don't go to the line on a charge

on the bright side, BG is up 5 at Can't with 35 seconds left

Pierce is just unstoppable today. would've liked to see a little more effort guarding him earlier, but players get hot. not much you can do about that today.

cut it to ten with ~7 minutes left. and we have the ball. it ain't over yet buddy.

this isn't even fun to watch. if i wanted to watch a free throw shooting contest, i would've found one online.

agree. their not playing like they did the other nightthanks, John Madden

woof

BG up 11-0 @ Can't early.

why not? why do we have to slow it down? why did people fear the URI press? we ran with them, and stunk it up when the game slowed down. we have 11 capable players. we should be running teams out of the gym. even our big guys (mcknights, zeke, bardo to some extent) aren't slow, at least for big men. I don't understand why we rarely see a press out of this team. with the depth and talent we have, i have a lot of confidence in saying we would dominate the MAC. or at least look better than we do now.

I believe you mean "Jake Akron"

Alabama plays in the toughest conference in college football. They go undefeated beating many ranked opponents along the way. They smoke the number 1 team in the country in their conference championship game. They beat the number 2 team in the country by double digits and you think Boise State is #1? I really don't get it?please explain how the SEC is the toughest conference this year...most years yes, but they had a major down year in 2009. I'd give it to the PAC-10 this year.

We need to play more A-10, Horizon like teams. Not only are they great competition, and exciting games, but they have to have the same scheduling problems as us (no big team wants to play in their house). Seems like it makes a lot of sense. Plus, they bring a decent name to the table too. Dayton, Temple, Rhode Island, Cleveland State, Charlotte, Umass, Richmond are all recognizable names in the college basketball world.

I'll agree COMPLETELY. I believe i saw ONE time the entire night where their bench was upset about a call. I could count 20+ where there were calls that were made or not made that absolutely shocked me. I think i'm going to nominate those refs as "Worst Officiating Crew In JAR History".The worst part is, after playing 5 on 8 for the entire night against a very good team all we had to do was just make a few darn free throws and we win. That's too bad. Though i have to say anyone who thinks that URI is better than us is crazy, we had them on the ropes and they got bailed out over and over again tonight. If we can get a decent officiated game and make free throws we will finish very strong this season.I have yet to see you not blame a loss on the refs. they must really hate akron haha.I can tell you weren't at the game. hahai was there. the backcourt violation (timeout) was a ridiculous call. but we gave up WAY too many second chances, and missed too many FT's. we had many chances to take this game, despite the poor officiating.

we're gonna rip on McNees for going 2-11 last night? he chucked up 5 3's in the last 30 seconds with multiple guys in his face. only the first of those 5 shots actually meant something..

I can admit it, and also realize I will not be watching them play next week because of it. There is a difference between not being able to run and deciding not to run. The Steelers couldn't run so they didn't. Step one to recharging the Pitt running game is to resign Parker. Step two is to start Parker and not Spindenhall.The Steelers will be fine. Losing two key starters on defense killed them. "But GP1, you said defense wasn't important." No I didn't....it just can't be horrible. With an average defense, they make the playoffs.i lost a little respect for you as a steeler fan with that statement. mendenhall averaged 4.6 to parker's 4 YPC. Mendenhall doesn't have hands of stone, and is a threat coming out of the backfield. he also doesn't get hurt every three plays, and is on the upswing, not downfall of his career. you're the first person I've ever seen make that statement.
