With Progressive HQ less than an hour away, it makes sense to develop a partnership.

We're still sitting right at #40 in the RPI after the game tonight. Should hover around there until the OU and EMU rematches. Those could provide a big boost.

The RPI places a massive weight on road victories. Beating EMU at home isn't as good as beating EMU on the road.

Actually, we're not making an appearance at all. We have a vote in the AP poll this year, not the Coaches Poll.

OU takes down NIU, and Akron jumps to 39 in the RPI. http://www.rpiforecast.com/live-rpi.html

Big recruiting day, and you couldn't ask for better weather considering that it's mid-January.

Divisions no longer factor in to tournament seeding. An Ohio win is better for us.

I've seen some mocks having him go in the 5th or 6th round.

Our RPI should be just over 45 after the win tonight. No other MAC team in the top-100. It's a very down year for the conference.

Which is too bad since he would do well against EMU's beanpoles in the front court.

Two weeks? Try running the table through the end of February and then we might be on the cusp. We have ZERO signature wins.

Just what I was about to ask. Avon is a solid program. Any kind of recruiting relationship Akron can make with them would be good news.

I believe this has to do with pictures and media (tweets, etc.) loading after the browser reads the html anchor that takes you to the latest post. Not sure why the page doesn't stick with the anchor. This happens to me on Firefox. What browsers are you guys using?

I wonder if there's any way to get the Rubber Ducks to sponsor the Chuck-A-Duck thing. Makes way too much sense.

The long-rumored renovations to the Tommy Evans lounge would solve that problem. Knock out the upper seating on the south end, extend the lounge to the court with a glass box and seating like they have at the MAC Center. The corporate no-shows will snap up those seats instead of the ones down low.

Or maybe we should look at offering more talented players from the state championship team that plays literally one mile from Infocision Stadium.

Fox 8 just showed highlights of the game during the lunch hour news. I think a big part of the lack of local tv news coverage had to do with the horrible state of the video stream at the JAR. I doubt they had usable footage. Hopefully that is a thing of the past.

That Amazon location is probably one of the best things to happen to the area.

Our current RPI rank is #50, so getting one vote is about right.

Any well-organized MAC team was scouting this game and all the others. It doesn't really matter. I'm just glad it was a bad team that made the defensive adjustments to our offense first, because we were still able to beat them This gives the coaches time to counter with adjustments of their own before the big games. Maybe not enough time to add new offensive wrinkles before we play OU, but definitely time enough to re-evaluate the bench rotation, which is just as important.

Jatavis Brown moves to LA in a truly stupid move by a truly stupid NFL franchise owner.

Still an accomplishment.

Best of luck to him, and congratulations on getting his degree!

We have to be #1 in tempo.
