Does anyone know when single game football tickets will go on sale? I'm trying to get a big group together (maybe 20) to go to the Indiana game (many of whom I am trying to convert to being a Zips fan). Also does anyone know what time the Indiana game will start? Bad planning on my part has a vacation coming back that day and need to know what time I need to make my flight to get to the game. I'm assuming it will be a noon start but wanted to see if anyone could confirm.

If anyone wants to watch him play in the Hiland summer league against some good competition you should go check it out. The high school team plays against a lot of guys who went on to play D2 and D3 college ball. Good experience for the sophomore to be.http://www.the-daily-record.com/news/article/4608820

I forget if this is the same kid or not, but some kid who played for Akron and left a while back was being a pretty big douche. He was quoted in some newspaper saying how he loves OSU and Akron is below him. Sounds like a major tool to me. No thanks.Same douche.

Former Zip (before he transferred to the school down south) Vaugn Snyder qualified for the US Open last week in Dayton. Also of note, former Zip Blake Sattler (currently plays on the Hooters tour) was one shot from qualifying and is the second alternate from that location.http://www.cantonrep.com/communities/canto...g-his-Open-shot

Plain Dealer article has him going.http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/in...off_to_hou.html

Maybe his former high school teammate Ladrach can convince him to spurn the BCS schools and come to Akron.http://www.the-daily-record.com/news/article/4574653

So will the rowdies show up in full force and heckle the Crew's goalie?

Not a big hockey fan but am at home rooting for the MAC's Redhawks. They just took a 2-1 lead with 7 minutes to go. Hoping they can hang on.

I take it back, Bardo is the man.

Great game so far. Gonzaga has gotten a few easy buckets because Bardo helps too easily on some of the plays. He needs to show only part way instead of coming full go to help out or double. Keep it up Zips.

I'm not finding any flights less than $575. That stinks, I wish we were the 14 seed going to Miami and getting a ticket for under $300 would be easy. I don't think I can swing over $1k for me and the Mrs. to make the trip to Oregon.

Here is a story in the local paper of Smithville's loss to unstoppable Regina. In it they mention Smithville's Jenna Pew being recruited by Akron. She would be a freshman in Murphy's senior season and would be a nice complement to Bumgardner (sp?) down low.http://www.the-daily-record.com/news/article/4546695

One local kid that I would like to see the Zips look at and has great size is 6'6, 210 pound wide receiver Derek Orr from Smithville. His junior season he had 52 receptions for 798 yards and 12 TD's. Very solid numbers for a historically strong running program. I don't know how heavily he is being recruited, but he will probably be under the radar as he incurred an ACL injury at the begining of the basketball season. He is also a very solid basketball player, but I don't think D1 caliber, he will probably get some D2 and NAIA basketball offers. Of note the basketball team is coached by Mike Snowbarger who was an assistant at St. V's for 1 or 2 years under Dambrot and the team has not missed a beat without him going 20-0.Are there any other locals out there you think the Zips should look at?

I was wondering if the Horizon league wasn't allowed to webcast because of an agreement with ESPN. But I checked the other games going on right now and UIC is working and the Milwaukee game is "delayed" like ours.

Still plenty of time with 23 seconds left. With NIU being a subpar free throw shooting team, do you go for a quick 2 or a 3 to tie? I say quick 2.

16 - 0 run for the zips.

I'm predicting a Zips 59-52 victory. They struggle on offense for one more game but pull out another victory.Also the game is going to be on www.channelsurfing.net. I know this site only works part of the time, but this should work as my buddy from work is a Can't fan and he was able to watch it there. He also said it was a student production and the announcer didn't know his mic was on a lot of times and made some inappropriate comments. So that might provide for some extra entertainment.

Anyone else like the dance team's outfits? I wonder if the team shop will be selling those jersey's cause I'd love to get one for my wife to wear around the house if you know what I mean.

Interesting, looks like we are burning Mclanahan's redshirt. I wish he would have been playing all year or let him sit and get 4 full years out of him. Tied at 15 with 6 minutes in the first half. We are still struggling on O.

It looks like there are going to be 5 games televised. Both BG and Can't games along with the home game with Central. The BG away game this weekend is on ESPNU and the rest are on FSN. I guess that's good as I wasn't planning on making the trip to BG and so I'll get to see that game but the others I was planning on going anyways.http://www.ohio.com/news/break_news/37439769.html

It looks like we will be able to find a free webcast at the game here at www.channelsurfing.net.

Wayne/Holmes Counties Daily Record newspaper says the Akron recruit's back to back championship in the long jump was the #1 story in the area in 2008.http://www.the-daily-record.com/news/article/4497351Now a stupid question for everyone. How do I post a link that I can call it whatever I want instead of the "www." that I posted above?

You can get a video webcast from the UNCG site for $4.95 at https://www.nmnathletics.com//flexReg/doReg...?DB_OEM_ID=5300. I'm just going to listen to it.

Just got home and watching the game online and CSU is up 20 with 12 minutes to go. Looks like Evans isn't going to save their season that easily.

Buffalo is tied with #2 UConn with 13 minutes left in the second half and Can't is tied with Saint Marys with 9 minutes left. Does one or both teams pull out a victory?
