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.

Egner hits 4 clutch free-throws to ice the game.

Egner, alley-oop dunk.

I saw Walsh lost in the D2 national title game and the boxscore showed a total of 12 free throws between the 2 teams and 21 fouls for the entire game. That is letting them settle it on the court. http://naia.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl-div2/...0/boxscore.html

I checked the TV schedule on the DVR with Massillon Cable and it said MAC tournament on Thursday at 2:30 so I set it to record.

Good deal. Last year the wife got me the coach for a game against NC A&T for $125. Not a bad deal for 2 meals at the Evans Lounge, sitting on the bench for the game and trips into the locker room, pre-game, half-time, and post-game. That was my first time seeing Zeke in person as well.

So I was in church this weekend and the pastor calls up Jamie Bosley up onto the stage. I said to my wife, is this the former Akron basketball player. Sure enough it was. He's getting his life in order. For those who are interested in hearing his story. His interview is towards the end of the sermon around the 17 minute mark.For those who want to watch go to http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Massi...34813328?ref=nf and click on the video link for "I want to know Jesus - It's Tempting" There is also a link on Vimeo that I couldn't get to work. http://www.vimeo.com/9496733Of course the pastor still calls us Akron U. even though I've told him many times its the U of A and Jamie didn't correct him either, but oh well.

Has anyone tried Old Carolina BBQ Company? Good barbeque and tasty homemade sauces. Started out in Massillon, then they added a location in Canton, and a few months ago added a location off of the Ridgewood Miller Road exit on 77.

The gamecast said somewhere in the 700's, I don't remember the exact number.

And the answer is 3.47 (at least in the fall semester). I don't know what classes he took but I would have never guessed it.http://www.recordpub.com/news/sports_article/4765494

VCU is beating George Mason handily at George Mason 41-28 at the half.

Without looking it up somewhere, please post what you think Chris Singletary's GPA is. I will post the answer later on tonight.

The game is on ESPN's Streak for the Cash. I have my streak the highest its been (at 6, leader at 16 for the month) and the Zips better make it 7.

I hear Vegas thinks Singeltary has really settled down. They put the over/under of him getting booted at 3 minutes and 22 seconds as opposed to the minute and 8 seconds from last year.

The Rhode Island versus Oklahoma State game is on at 2 today on ESPNU if anyone is interested in seeing what we are going up against on Tuesday.

Just found out I got Suite tickets through work so I will be going to the game. That being said I have 3 tickets to Sunday's bball game with Valpo that I will not be using if anyone wants them for free. Just PM me and maybe we can meet up at tonights game. If you are going and taking your son, get these tickets and take a couple of his friends.

MDZip, are these what you were wearing when we met you down in Cary?

They said the same thing on Zipslive that he signed a new 5 year contract.

What plans does everyone have for today while they are down here? Nothing special here, probably watch the replay on ESPN 2 at 11 and then watch the Zips basketball team at 7 on Zipszone. Maybe drive to Chapel Hill and walk around campus in my Akron gear between then

Not that it really matters but an article on ESPN said that Akron is 23-0-1. Even though Akron won, since it went to PK's it goes down as a tie. That doesn't make sense.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=4735714
