So word is that Jake Barnett was released from Toledo. Avged 13ppg 1.5ast 37% 3pt 34 min a game. He is a 6-5 Guard. Do we want him?

Well we do need another PG so thats good. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5th player too...

I posted this in another thread but I would like to make it a thread of its own... I went to the Marketing Department last week and asked some questions. They have no say in what is in the team shop since Barnes & Nobles is in charge of it. They can suggest things but BN doesn't have to listen to the request. This seems wrong to me. It is OUR team shop so AKRON ATHLETICS should be in charge of it. How did we get in this deal?

++ Concur with that sentiment -- as if I haven't been saying it for months. And, if TPSjuggler is correct -- we will be down to Zero on any slasher-type players. Is this addition by subtraction?? Don't worry I wasn't right at all.

Steve Swiech is NOT leaving. He is not the type of person who would transfer out just for playing time. I would say Alex Sullivan is a good guess. The other I am going to say is Humpty. Both players got suspended this year. Humpty doesn't always get along with KD and throws fits. It will be one of these two.

Coach K saw a need and filled it. Hope Dambrot can do this sometime. http://jucojunction.rivals.com/barrier_noe...p;mid=&rid=

I was actually reasonably impressed with the way DeVaughn Washington (6-8, 225 lbs) performed this year -- 50% from the field, 70% on free throws, 11 points and 5 rebounds per game. He's not a dominator, but I think he will give Ohio a decent inside presence next year in his senior season. No doubt Washington is good inside, but my point was, Zeke tops him in height by 4 inches. Zeke averaged 16.8 min 5.1 pts 3.9 reb 1.7 blks Washington averaged 25.6 min 11.3 pts 5.4 reb .4 blks Zeke averages against Ohio 16.6 min 2.6 pts 3 reb 1 blks Washington averages against Akron 27.6 min 9.3 pts 6.6 reb .3 blks Ohio also has a 6' 10" player coming in next year so there goes the height advantage you speak of.

He's grown! Last we heard he was ONLY 5" 6' http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showtopic=15123

They have missed 8 free throws and are down 11.

I didnt think anybody watched MSNBC considering it is the least watched cable news network by far. But man he got a few big upsets right. He missed Georgetown though haha He had to pick GTown cuz half the people in DC went there.

This is a very interesting topic that many have brought up. I went to the Marketing Department last week and asked some questions. They have no say in what is in the team shop since Barnes & Nobles is in charge of it. They can suggest things but BN doesn't have to listen to the request. This seems wrong to me. It is OUR team shop so AKRON ATHLETICS should be in charge of it. How did we get in this deal?

Front page of the Sports section has a great pic of that monster dunk. It looks like Can't picked a player who will continue to strangle people during games.

Brett McClanahan will be be our lockdown defender next year. You can count on it.

I as screaming about that the entire Championship game! Cooper is great is pushing off and hitting a 3. Our guys couldn't do anything about it because they would call a foul on us.

try 14.5. Good thing I only put $0.50 on it. I wonder how many people picked OU in the pool? Maybe one or two in the entire country. I honestly did. haha You also had Nova winning it all...

Surprised I haven't seen this on here but there has been work going on at the stadium the last week at least. Nice pile of dirt showing progress. A web cam for this wouldn't be as exciting as the football stadium.

OU is graduating 1 and bringing in 4?

Still taking up the collection? Too soon....

Why is curling not an option? Thats a good Olympic sport. Granted Buffalo would probably own the MAC since they are in Canada but its worth a shot.

Somebody should email this to KD and the AD both...Ok a LOT of people should email this to both KD and the AD.

Lets pick up Arizona St, Cornell, Kansas, Siena, and Penn State. Thats a good enough schedule upgrade for now. UC Santa Barber is on there too...lets schedule a soccer match.

Interesting comment taken from their fan board. Glad their fans think we are the far superior team...I just hope our team doesn't lay an egg.

Dear Tom, Please attend a Cavs game at Quicken Loans Arena (You were just there for the MAC tourney). Please don't watch the game when you go, watch their game day presentation. They have a VIDEO board that they actually play VIDEOS on when something good happens. I don't mean videos of the game being played...I mean video clips from movies that fans love to watch. They have a plethora of clips they play that have different uses. Fans love these and it is something that will get the fans talking. You never know what crazy clip they will play next. Also have more segments like the "Dance Cam" and "Kiss Cam" that make people actually do things, it gets everyone in the crowd talking. The screen can also be used for showing things that people want to see...like half time stats that are correct. There are several cartoons involving Zippy in them. They are funny. We love them. Use them. The Cavs have a MC who gets people involved during time outs. He doesn't always have to be on the court as long as he is on the big screen. Willy did this a few years ago and everyone LOVED it. Just please don't get a lame MC like Can't has. Also as you walk in to the Q notice the hallways are filled with things for the fans to do especially the kids. There are poster making areas, video games, and places to shoot hoops. A little late now but it would have been nice to do what CSU did this year. They had their conference trophy they won from the previous year on display on a table where fans could get their pictures with it. When you walk into Miami's arena they have all their trophies on display as well in cases. They also have large pictures of their most famous athletes. Free tee shirts get students to games. The whiteout was successful. Did you see how packed Buffalo's arena was when they played us? Their attendance is usually terrible but was packed because they gave out "Beat the Roo" tee shirts. When we play teams in the OOC schedule like Malone and Hoover HS that people don't want to see us play you have to entice people to come. The bobble head idea is great. Who wouldn't want a Zippy Bobble head? Actually the real question is Who wouldn't want a Dambrot bobble head doll? I know I would. PLEASE FIND THE ZIPPY MASCOT OF THE YEAR BANNER!!!! I have gone in and asked where it is at and NO ONE knows where it is at. How is that possible? It was hanging from the ceiling, its not like someone jumped and pulled it down. Speaking of Zippy...you wern't here last year but Zippy repealed from the ceiling...it was AWESOME. New tradition? It would be something unique to Akron and when our games are on tv would look great. Can we turn the lights off during opening intros and Zippy would be the first intro from above? Sincerally, A loyal fan
