Great job by Dials to step in and take the charge.

You can see the game for free at www.channelsurfing.net.

It's listed on http://www.channelsurfing.net/ where you should be able to watch for free for those like me who don't have ONN.

I don't know if anyone saw this on the Gozips website:AKRON, Ohio – University of Akron men's basketball fans can purchase a special Internet ticket offer for Wednesday's game versus Toledo, scheduled for 7 p.m. EST at Rhodes Arena. The package costs $24, and includes four general admission tickets and a $10 coupon for the Zips Team Shop (a savings of $26).The offer is good through 5 p.m. on Monday. To order, contact the UA Athletics Ticket Office at 1-888-99-AKRON and mention promotion code Toledo130.The merchandise voucher is good for a purchase of $25 or more and is not valid with any other offer or promotion. I've gotten their four pack special with the Miami, Ohio, Northern Illinois and Can't and am looking forward to this Toledo special. I'll probably end up taking some friends from work who probably wouldn't normally go to a game to see if I can make them new fans. Anyone else going to take advantage of this.Also, the wife and I are kicking around the idea of season tickets next year in the lower bowl, anyone know how much those cost this year? I couldn't find it anywhere on the Gozips site.

I think I found a link on Dayton's website http://daytonflyers.cstv.com/. If you scroll down below the "Upcoming Events" section, you will see Akron and the coverage says Live Audio, Gametracker, and Watch. I clicked on the watch and you just have to register your email and I think we will be able to watch the game for FREE. I'm planning on hooking my laptop up to my bigscreen to watch it. It will be an extremely tough game, Pitt just got demolished there.

The "Big" conferences play each other in the Big Ten vs. ACC challenge and the Big 12 vs. Pac 10 Challenge. I think the MAC commisioner should try to set something up like that with Conference USA or the Missouri Valley, smaller conferences which historically get more than one team into the Big Dance. Do I think we can win the challenge, maybe not. But, if we had a good showing one year with the "upper echelon" teams (i.e. Akron, Can't, Miami, Ohio) to beat a Southern Illinois, Creighton, Witchita State then maybe that could help the MAC get more than one team in the tournament. Doubt it would ever happen, but I guess some wishful thinking.
