We will get to see how well the field drains after heavy rains 24 hours prior to use.

I'd love to see what the Rowdies would come up with to raz the Ivy Leaguers.

There is a little discussion on the Wake board for anyone interested. http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=192&f=1...229642&p=15

I say 18,728 for todays game.

Looks like Can't might have landed a solid player. He formally had commited to Arkansas. Also had interest from Memphis among other programs. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/re...-Bradley-116647

The Walmart on Arlington usually has a decent amount. My mother-in-law just got me a generic Zips #1 football jersey there.

Bowser has been released from the Cardinals. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianp...o-pqonu8gtkaw1A

I wonder what Kofi is doing? That would be a good interview for Saturday mornings newspaper.

I was watching Glee last night and the U was mentioned. It talked about EJ Thomas Hall and Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin who my wife and I actually saw at EJ this year as part of the Broadway in Akron series. Transcript from Glee: 00:13:55 (school bell rings) I found her. 00:13:58 Your mother? Where? 00:14:00 In the library. 00:14:02 I've been researching her all morning, and as I suspected, my intuition has been proven correct. 00:14:07 My mother is Broadway legend Patti Lupone. 00:14:11 I've always had a deep connection to Ms. Lupone-- her choice of roles and songs. 00:14:15 I decided to do a little math to see if her being my mother was even possible. 00:14:19 I was born December 18, 1994. 00:14:22 1994 was a big year for Mother. 00:14:24 She was a sensation inPal Joey. 00:14:26 But that was in New York; I was born in Ohio, you say. 00:14:29 Well, Mother took many breaks from the show to tour with Mandy Patinkin. 00:14:33 That April found them at the EJ Thomas Hall in Akron, Ohio, for a standing room performance-- nine months before I was born. 00:14:39 Are you saying that your fathers impregnated Patti LuPone in the Marriott in Akron? 00:14:43 Was Mandy Patinkin in on this? 00:14:44 All you have to do is look at pictures of her in her performance inMaster Classin 1996. 00:14:49 Look at the pain in her eyes and the hurt she's feeling from giving up her obviously talented little girl. 00:14:54 One question: What was in it for her? 00:14:58 M-Money, a sense of charity for those in need? 00:15:04 I don't know. 00:15:06 Guess you're right.

I did pretty good, only missed 5 but one of them was the #1 school.

No Zips signed yet. Of note for MAC fans: Freddie Barnes - Bears (possible team mate of Lefevour) Tim Hiller - Colts (gets to learn from one of the greatest of all time) Naaman Roosevelt - Buffalo (doesn't have to travel far) http://www.nepatriotsdraft.com/p/2010-nfl-...ree-agents.html

Actually it was 10-7. Game tracker wasn't up to date when I looked earlier. http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com//ViewArti...TCLID=204933714

After losing 10 of 11 the baseball team beat the Suckeyes 9-4 down in Columbus.

From what I have heard from an inside source, interesting is an understatement... Care to tell us if this is a good thing? Alright, I will tell everyone. Lebron is not going to be signing with the Cavs, Knicks or Nets this summer. He is coming to Akron to get his business degree for managing his money after basketball and "walking on" the basketball team. The good thing is, we don't need to use a scholarship on him since he has the money to pay for school.

Definatly seems very smart on help defense. Always looking to come from the weak side to make a block. I still want to see how he does against guys his size. Moeller has a 6-9 kid who likes to shoot 3's and their next biggest starter was 6-1.

End of 3. Jackson up 44-20. Egner finally got his first slam towards the end of the quarter. Hopefully he will get two more in the fourth and then as time winds down, make sure you listen to the fans in the background. You will hear a familiar, "I believe" chant.

The lefty guard for Jackson is having a huge game. Could be our fourth recruit next year? Just kidding. Jackson up 32-15 with 3:38 left in third. How did Moeller make it to the finals?

Jackson's bigs of Henniger and Egner get a lot of press, but even though their guards aren't flushy, they are very solid and getting the job done today. Jacson on a 5-0 run to start the half.

Jackson up 20-15 at half. Moeller seems very tentative on offense. Henniger is matched up with a 6-9 kid going to Xavier and Egner is defending a 6-1 kid where Egner is just playing help defense as evidenced by his two help side blocks. I hope Moeller picks up the pace a little cause I want to see Egner get something in the open floor.

Egner struggling a little offensively after the first quarter but two huge blocks on the defensive end. Jackson up 1 after the first quarter.

Jackson highlights on STO. Just showed the off the backboard dunk. Awesome.

Aren't scholarships given on a year by year basis? So when you sign with a school, you aren't guaranteed 4 years, if the school wants to revoke the scholarship. Not something a school wants to do often, as players might not want to commit if there is a history of the scholarship getting taken away at a later date. I think this is what happened when Calipari was hired at Kentucky, many of the players did not have their scholarships renewed.

Egner will be used to the celebratory chant from the Rowdies when he gets here. http://blogs.cantonrep.com/polarbears/

Any info on how 2011 Prospect Stevie Taylor looks? Just listening as I couldn't find a webcast. Jackson won and will play tomorrow on STO at 8:30. Egner 23 points, 9-12 from the field, 11 boards, 4 blocks, 3 dunks. Stevie Taylor had 4 points.

Jackson up 9 starting the fourth quarter. Hopefully they hold on so we can see Josh on TV tomorrow night. He just had back to back dunks, one of them off a pass off the backboard.
