I think for the past few years we don't announce the class on signing day. Not sure if it has to deal with still finalizing what international recruits are coming in or what. On another topic, did anyone else get something in the mail that the soccer team is doing their once every 4 years international trip to Brazil this summer? I'm glad Victor will be able to show the guys his home country.

I can't make it due to family commitments. I have 3 free GA tickets. PM me if interested.

And they removed that blank now. Riggins must have been a surprise today.

So is the only blank to fill in on Go Zips Joe Riggins who is no longer coming or does TB have one more recruit? Last name between M and S

So Boxen did what D'Orazio did many years ago. He didn't enroll in school that first fall after high school graduation, thus not starting his 5 years to play 4 years clock.

I missed Peter's game. Anyone watch and want to give their 2 cents?

Anyone know where I should go to watch the Chile game? I work with a Chilean and a few other Latins and wanted to organize a small watch party

My son, asked if Zippy was going to throw the ball at Brutus' head at halftime too. Unfortunately it was just before the game.

Yeah they play most at Palumbo but a few at Consol.

Looking forward to a basketball double header today. I somehow won 2 floor tix to the Duquense vs VCU game playing where the Penguins play hockey with overnight accommodations at the Cambria suites that is connected. Game starts at 2 and they are supposed to give us Duquense merchandise as well when we get to our seats. After the game we will head back to Akron to watch the zips. Expecting a good game in the nightcap and looking at the records the first game it could be a blowout.

Looks like Treadwell signed to play ball in Argentina. http://www.latinbasket.com/Argentina/basketball.asp?NewsID=390649

For me, I was a commuter who never attended a Zip sporting event upon graduation in 2004. I went to a handful of basketball games when in high school with the team. I also supported osu. I don't know what finally made me see the light but I think it was watching the Hixon td in the MAC championship. I then went to the Motor City bowl for my first ever Zip football game. Then started to remove myself from OSU over time and went to more Zip games. I have now been a reserved season ticket holder of soccer since they put the seats in and have had GA football and basketball in some form or fashion over the past 5 years or so. I dress both kids in Zips gear for every game and the oldest refers to the team down south as the Suckeyes.

I didn't find the officiating horrible. Most of the fouls called on us were legit as we play touchy defense at times. I didn't like the "T" call on Evans as I think it should have been a delay of game warning. He didn't throw the ball at the player, although he quickly handed it to him but it was close to his face. If he would have said something when he did it I would understand the T but in the heat of the moment the ref saw it differently.

I think it was more grades than talent. Similar to what Harney and Tree had to do but I could be mistaken.

So now Akron has 11 scholarship players but all can play. I guess I didn't fully realize that when someone transfers they take up one of the 13 scholarships that year even though they aren't playing. It makes sense as I step back now to look at it.

Did bj play at all in second half last game or this game?

2nd straight game where side scoreboards don't have player stats. I like dam rot giving Walters minutes not knowing how serious Noah's injury is.

Although not lighting up the stat sheet, big dog is playing with the most confidence I have seen all year

What a comeback by cmu to only fall short!

I am most interested selfishly in who will be the RB. I sit in the first row of the reserved section so I get to see these guys up close running down the flank. Since 2008 it's been Kofi, Deandre and Saad. 3 extremely talented speedy players and I believe Saad will have a pretty good career in the MLS.

But if it goes in . . . We will never know.

I questioned this to my wife when they put Kretzer in for him with about 90 seconds left. Keep the 5 in that got you back within striking distance. I understand Jake gives you a guy where you can easily switch on defense where he can defend bigs but I wanted to see Tino finish the game.

My inlaws thought they saw some Zips coaches at Chicago airport today talking to a recruit. He thought either a WR or DB.
