Well that not removing Utomi's redshirt didn't last.

First off, I would like to thank my parents for conceiving me. Next, I would like to thank Dr Z. for coming up with the weekly polls. Lastly, I would like to thank the t-shirt company that will be making a shirt to commemorate this glorious moment in history!

Great win Zips!

Forsythe 9 rebounds. Other starters 0.

Wasn't Joe Dunn's son supposed to walk on this year? It was nice having Walters as a backup PG when Noah went down for a few minute. With Josh and Ivey out, Big Dog may have to play some PG as previously mentioned

I wonder if they consider removing Utomi's redshirt if Ivey is out a prolonged period of time.

I didn't realize Fowler was out. That definitely makes a difference.

Starting a thread to discuss other MAC teams games this season. Central played 6 guys over 25 minutes, 1 8 minutes, 1 6 minutes and 1 1 minute. Surprised they didn't rest their starters more. MAC favorite Central Michigan struggled a bit with Alma College tonight. They won 79-64. Alma is a D-3 school similar to Hiram which posted similar record last year as both had 11 wins. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=400841910

They have women's basketball at that time. Maybe it will be on 611-1 the overflow channel but nothing is on the program guide at the moment.

I hear the reason we got the top 4 seed was because we were actually called Ohio's Polytechnic University during the seeding process. The Committee got confused, hadn't read the Beacon Journal to know that it was actually the University of Akron, and therefore couldn't penalize us because of the AK-Rowdies. Kudos to the Scar for the rebranding as it got us home field throughout

#4 side against winner of Rutgers/LIU Brooklyn http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/soccer-men/d1 Could face UNC for a chance to go to KC.

Congrats NCAA for finally getting it correct with the Zips!

Early signing period is now closed with all 4 players announced plus the previous discussion on Eubanks. It will be interesting to see what happens after the season to open up the 2 schollies needed.

My goal is to get one of these correct this year. I'm no Johnnyzip84 but hoping to get off the snide this week.

Antino averages double digits scoring and 4 assists a game.

But he plays small forward and we have Jake, Reggie, Aaron, Kwan, and Ivey who can play that position. Do they burn his redshirt for 5-10 minutes a game? If there are injuries to any of those mentioned then maybe.

Utomi has tons of potential. I see him as an all MAC performer before his career is done.

Dickie V predicts Akron will come out of MAC http://espn.go.com/espn/dickvitale/story/_/id/14043262/predicting-2016-ncaa-tournament-field-68

Went to the first Broadway in Akron show for the year last night (The Producers) and Mortimer stressed before the show they are committed to keeping traveling Broadway shows coming to Akron. Attendance was definately down vs the prior years probably do to all the media coverage and confusion whether the shows would go on. I would say it was probably at 60% capacity compared to typically 85-90% in prior years.

I see lane on sideline and may be going in

I listened to 10 minutes of pre game and they said we didn't have any injuries except those that happened in preseason

Is Lane out?

Richie got a yellow for flopping even though he got tripped. So he is out against ucla?

President Obama just mentioned Michelle and Lebron and the scholarships at Akron during the TNT broadcast of the Cavs game.

Thanks!
