Buffalo Bulls vs Akron Zips Bombing commences at the JAR on Tuesday, starting at 7 pm Tuesday's game will be a Dru Joyce bobblehead giveaway to the first 750 fans, the first of a three bobblehead set. Season ticket holders should have received a voucher in the mail which they can redeem for one bobblehead per account at the designated location (by the elevator in the main lobby) at the game. These bobbleheads do not count towards the 750 that are being distributed.

Congratulations to the ZN members listed below. They answered "11 or more" as the Zips BOMBED 15 three pointers against NIU!!! The Zips are now second in the country in three pointers per game.

WalletHub’s number crunchers compared the 245 of the largest U.S. cities based on 18 key metrics, ranging from the number of NFL and college football teams to average ticket prices. Akron has the 107th ranked football fans. There are six MAC football cities ranked in the top 100. DeKalb, Bowling Green, Mt. Pleasant, Toledo, Buffalo, Athens, & Oxford.

I just viewed a small story on Fox 8 news at lunchtime on the bobbleheads?!? After reading the story, the two teleprompter readers went on to have a conversation about what it would have been like if LeBron played at Akron, instead of pursuing a professional career directly out of high school. The lady that reads the teleprompter thought he made a good choice.

Four stars for people that love their stars. Hope this year's stats reflect his "stars". I do remember a post about a running back coming on signing day. I wonder who else is coming?

Alex Alvardo of Hustlebelt writes: EMU Might Have What it Takes to Make a Run. "We're a very talented team, but our experience just hasn't been there," Murphy said. "Any time you bring in six new faces, it's tough. When you have so many new faces that you're depending on and you're continuing to learn each other, there's some slippage. And these guys have to continue to get better."

All are all from the Akron area, and went to high school together. Romeo & Dru had good success at the U, LBJ went pro. I'm shocked that anybody that is an Akron basketball fan hasn't seen 'More Than a Game.' LeBron used to attend a lot of his friends games at the JAR while they were playing. After you paste in the link you have to add a hard return, then it should appear. I think they look good.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer expects the Browns to take a quarterback at No. 2 overall. Beat writer Mary Kay Cabot expects the Browns to take a signal caller "unless something unforeseen happens in free agency" or a trade. As in, the team lands an acceptable starter. That's highly unlikely in this year's market. Cabot expects the Browns' choice to come down to North Dakota State's Carson Wentz or Cal's Jared Goff. All of this was said with the caveat that it remains very early in the process. Neither Wentz nor Goff are viewed as slam dunk top 10 picks at the moment. A "highly-respected personnel man" told the paper last month that the Browns should take Wentz.

There were four MAC invites to the "national" combine. Beavers, Willie OT Western Michigan Frazier, Kavon FS Central Michigan Lewis, Roger WR Bowling Green Russell, Alonzo WR Toledo

Zips pick up two more nationally televised games. More catching Zips fever?

Have the Zips ever averaged 11.5 or more three pointers made per game as far back as you can remember? I'm so excited to have something other than "defensive" basketball to talk about when it comes to the Zips, you have no idea. Defensive basketball bores me to tears. When it comes to college basketball, points entertain me. Drop the BOMBS!

A source tells 7 Eyewitness Sports Anchor Shawn Stepner Bearden has been banned after testing positive for marijuana. Bearden is the Bulls leading scorer, averaging 13.5 points per game.

What is the size limit for such an injury?

Putting the cart before the horse, I would be ecstatic to win one game. If we do get the MAC bid, I would be concerned with the strength of the opponent. I would guess it will be someone in the top 20. I would love to play someone outside the top 20, but I just don't see the MAC getting a decent seed if recent history is any indication. Hope I'm wrong. On the other hand, when your hitting 16 threes... Bombs away!

16 three pointers! Congratulations to those that answered correctly before the game started.

“I think in this case Scarborough is trying to strengthen the university, but it seems like he’s just going about it the wrong way …,” he said. “He’s very numbers-minded..."

You will like EA's new stab, as he now writes that Akron is running away with it.

Oddsshark predicting a 13 point waxing. 77-64.

The Zips are third in the country in 3 pointers made per game, averaging 11.3 per game.

Game is on ESPN3.
