Posting from the terminals in the JAR.Apparently, the reason Spicer Street was closed today because the Sun was scheduled to be demolished. It weas 90% rubble by the time I drove past it at 10:30.Bye bye, Sun!

Get there EARLY! I mean like at least a half hour before the doors open early. There are a whole bunch of events happening at the exact same time as the game, including a major high school swim meet and who knows what else.I'll be there some time around 8:00AM to camp outside the student entrance, thanks to just getting off work around then (midnight shift is no fun right before early games).

Can't is the worst team in the East. We had better be able to beat them at home.

The best way would probably be to get off on Route 8 at Carrol street, and park in the deck right before you get to Spicer. Unless you get a reserved parking space by the JAR, in which case, you simply go straight past the deck.

10 years and 5 days. That's how long it was since the Zips last beat Can't. No longer!ZIPS WIN 64-62!!!!!!!!!! :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: :screwks: This season is officially a success!

They play tonight at the JAR at 7:00This is where I make my judgment on the season. This team has shows signs of improvement, despite losing more players than they kept over the past three years. I want to see them show the ability to get pumped for a big game, and pull out a win where they are heavy underdogs at home.Do that, and I'll declare this season a success, regardless of how the rest of the season plays out.

Only if you know your way around. Hopefully this aggravates more than a few Can't fans.

Get there a little before the doors open (11AM). Parking is going to be a nightmare! Great to hear some of our Akron fans from PA are making the trek ... safe travels Saturday.They're closing down Spicer Street, apparently.

Chicken. Playing those teams doesn't mean they're tough, it means they need cash. Gary Waters refuses to play at Akron, just like many other coaches. Bob Huggins won't bring his team anywhere near the JAR because he has said he's afraid of playing there.Why did you include Butler in your list of teams? Aren't they in the same conference, and thus forced to play each other?What did they have to sell out for to get WVU at home? 3 road whippings?

Bwah? I turned it off in disgust with about 10 minutes left!

He's quick, he's slick, he'll kick you in the . Steve Sweich, Steve Sweich.

Ill believe it when I see it. Cavs @ Utah on the 24th.Whoops. Must've been looking at the wrong month.

I'm guessing Cowles was able to get a medical RS?

I hear there will be a person there that towers over everyone else, who everybody will turn their heads to look at as he passes. One of the best players to pass through the doors of the JAR but not play a game for the Zips (yet). Oh... and LeBron might be there, too.

Do you think we'll see any recruits or current players leave to follow coach Moorhead that could open up some extra scholarships?

Moorhead was both the OC and the QB coach. I would expect to see those two positions filled by a different person for each one.Getsy might be a little young to be the QB coach, but you can't deny that the QB play has vastly improved since he came back. I really doubt Mike Shanahan would take a job that pays what UA can afford, but there's no harm in asking him.The real problem that could arise would be Moorhead's recruits leaving, although it might not be a problem if it opens up space for some of the more highly rated recruits we're going after.

Who would you like to see Akron play in the Bracketbuster? Remember that it's on the road this year.I want Cleveland State. Bad. Gary Waters is too chickensh!t to schedule us on his own. I'm tired of the tactic of teams claiming to be better than a team that you refuse to schedule.

UConn message boards are just picking up on this. they expect an official announcement tomorrow.

He probably makes twice what JD makes just to be a coordinator at a BCS school.

http://recruiting.scout.com/2/831603.htmlJerrod Dillard commits to the Zips. He's 6-4, 175 lbs.I wonder if this means somebody else lost their scholarship.

To either coach: What is one thing you think could be done better by the marketing department in order to increase attendance for home games?

Congrats to Mr. Zakuani! :bow:

There is something starting today where students get "points" for attendance, and the top ones supposedly get tickets to the final game of the season at Can't. 1 point for men's games and 2 points for women's games. Hopefully that bumps it up some.
