I'm afraid that they're tricking themselves into believing that they can do this every game. That they can turn it on for just five or ten minutes a game and come away with a win.

Zeke needs to take his time at the FT line. When he does that, he's money. When he rushes, you get what we've seen the past few games. Same as early in his career. Harney needs to not be starting. If Chauncey still isn't ready to go, then start Kretzer or McAdams.

They must have watched the CMU game tape.

Why is it that we always get away from what we do best in some attempt to out-strategize our opponent's style?

We're only shooting 25% from the floor.

Our opponent has to be named "Ohio" to motivate this team.

That really is the biggest issue.

You shouldn't let your unnecessarily negative feelings push you into making absurd statements like that.

I asked a friend. Five years isn't an official timeline, of course, but it's an expectation based on how slowly things are moving. No talk of seating capacity. This is the time when things should be moving forward faster than ever, but it's not.

Last thing I've heard is that we can expect to remain in the JAR for at least five more years. I don't know if that means it will be five more years until an official announcement of a new arena, or if we'll hear something sooner and it won't be built for at least five years.

There are quite a few Akron-related polls on ESPN regarding the Bracketbuster. On the left, just click on the bracketbusters category.

I have a better one. I want to keep winning because it sucks to lose, especially to the teams we have on our schedule.

AP Article from today's practice

Ah yes. The local media. Always three steps behind the national media when it comes to reporting on a positive local story.

Tallmadge QB Anthony Gotto will walk-on at Akron.

For future reference, here is where all the videos come from.

You must not have looked very hard. They've been putting links to it up on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and everywhere else.

Logan Cox switched to the University of Charleston. Tyler Vaughn switched to Wofford. Dominick Hamilton switched to Northern Michigan. David Gaydosz remains uncommitted, still weighing offers from various schools. No word on Deandre Adams. In all, I think we came out ahead.

Here's confirmation on Tyler Vaughn de-committing. Best of luck to him at Wofford, wherever that is.

Here are the sixteen recruits that are confirmed through all four of the major recruiting websites (Scout, Rivals, ESPN, 247Sports): OL Cedric Brittnum (early JUCO signee) OC Stephen Ericksen DT Lavonne Gauthney S Zach Guiser DB Mikee Hayes DT Keontae Hollis TE Michael Kish OL Ryan Kortokrax ATH Jerome Lane ATH Anthony Lauro LB Deontae Moore RB Manny Morgan ATH Mykel Traylor-Bennett CB Donte Williams (early JUCO signee) WR Austin Wolf QB Tommy Woodson Here are recruits that are only mentioned on some of the websites: OL Dominick Hamilton (ESPN) (I now think TheDZone's recent report was inaccurate) LB Jon Shelby (Scout, 247Sports) Here are possible recruits not mentioned on any of the recruiting services. Might end up as walk-ons, or as a surprise commitment: S Logan Cox DT Tyler Vaughn (Appears to have been taken off of the 247Sports list of verbals) TB David Gaydosz WR Deandre Adams

There wouldn't be any fallout because this is the last Bracketbuster. There's no worry about letting teams do this in the future. Besides, it's clear from some of the match-ups that ESPN didn't really care about this thing anyway.

Coach Bowden taking on a rehab project? Would have to sit out a year.

Yes, but they all factor into the public perception of a team, and even into the perception of voters in the less scientific ranking systems.

He's definitely a future Olympian.
