Now that the site has finished reindexing all posts and threads, are you having issues today? If so, can you be specific as to what they are?

Upgraded to Version 4.1.18 this morning. There will be some reindexing of posts and topics running until about noon.

I couldn't read when the poll was taken, here is a bigger graphic. Source Not sure why anyone would be opposed to @profmattwilson having an open discussion about it. Seems to be a hot topic.

Kareem Hunt is North Outstanding Player at Senior Bowl Hunt ran for 118 yards on 15 carries to earn North Outstanding Player Honors, including a 20-yarder and a 43-yarder on back-to-back plays. But the South prevailed, 16-15, in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 28.

Have the Zips seen the last of Keene this year?

Jawanza Moore.

I would have to see Zeke, Wood, and even Bruce Weinkein play with this years team to make my decision. Then I would have to make Zeke, Wood and Big Dog go play in the MAC when Bruce did. This is going to get complicated for me.

Neither.

The Steelers have been doing this on their practice jersey's since 2010. If a company feels like they are getting value in it, I don't have an issue. I've always thought we should help build our infrastructure with this concept. I would love to have a brand new Amazon dot com Airport in Cleveland instead of the current nightmare.

Only Akron can stop Akron (health included). The MAC continues to get worse, and Akron continues to get better. Keep pounding cupcakes to get the highest seed possible in order to have our best chance of winning a game in the big dance. Depending on our seed, I think this team is built (inside/out) to win an actual tournament game. March should be a blast for Akron fans.

Robotham 5 of 8 from the free throw line last night. Antino 4 of 4. 20 out of 27 (74%) overall as a team! Keep it up

Since it is listed (in the link I provided) as a 14 day wildcard game, the network has to let the schools know 14 days before the game, expect to hear soon. Apologies if they have already announced and that's why it's listed on ESPN's site.

Pretty easy to view Zips basketball this year. Here is a link that lists Akron's ESPN3 schedule. The next two (UB & NIU) are on ESPN3. GoZips dot com schedule indicate the two after that are on CBS (OU) and ASN (BSU). In addition, every game day @ZipsMBB tweets out all the information, and a ZN member typically posts it in the game thread.

I like that link. I would be a little surprised if Lane gets drafted before Hunt.

I hope they will be able to get some advertising revenue

This is the most interesting/important part of the article to me: ...the Zips can’t afford many nights like this past Friday against Eastern Michigan when they shot 45 percent (17-of-38) from the free-throw line ...if we didn’t make free throws that night, let’s spend a little time on it, Dambrot said ...after the game, Robotham and Antino worked on their own time from the line. Mon morning, Johnson spent time after practice doing the same

She's mad.

ESPN3 is a valuable tool for MAC schools (Crain's full article) By KEVIN KLEPS ...Akron's high-definition broadcasts on ESPN3 — the Worldwide Leader's online streaming service — are produced by Classic Teleproductions and originate from a production room in which the university invested about $500,000 on a studio and new equipment. It's a costly endeavor for an institution whose budget problems have been well-documented, but one Akron feels is necessary because of its obligations to ESPN and the Mid-American Conference. The Zips, like their MAC peers, also believe streaming athletic events is a way to increase the school's exposure and add to its appeal with athletes and wanna-be broadcasters....

At one time (2015) Aquinas had 17 players in the NFL — the most of any high school in the country. Jaguars (Brandon Linder, Rashad Greene and Sam Young). Falcons (Leonard Hankerson, Desmen Southward), Bengals (Geno Atkins, Giovani Bernard), Colts (Phillip Dorsett, Duron Carter), Rams(Lamarcus Joiner, Marcus Roberson), Major Wright (Bucs), Bobby Hart (Giants), James White (Patriots), Gabe Holmes (Raiders), Cody Riggs (Titans) and Marcus Gilbert (Steelers).
