hahaha we didn't have any bigs.if you think the 35th best player in the country isn't going to start in the MAC, you're out of your mind, im sorry.Well i agree, i dont believe he will start either. I think it would be foolish to start the season throwing him in like that. Dambrot is smart about things he will ease him in and get him prepared to be the dominant player he could be.I think there is a chance he'll start out of the gate. Didn't Humpty start this year?No Humpty out of the gate was a backup for Ronnie and only took over after he was injured.

The security guard flat out said and I quote, "If it had been 2 years ago you could have!"

That is Pacific time according to the Zags board.

Hmmm.....It's only about a 36-37 hour road trip...

I loved a few possessions before Nikola fouled out the Zips were on defense and a foul was called. While waiting for the shot, the Buffalo players circled up and Nik joined. They didn't notice for at least 15 seconds then one saw him and said something to him and he just shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "What did I do?" then he tried to rejoin again. Priceless.Another was that even though the security guards held the Rowdies back, they felt bad about it. One even went over and got a small piece of the net that was left behind and brought it over to Root4Roo. Very nice on his part.Once back at the JAR we waited a few hours for the team to come back. We made a line for the players for when they got off the bus. Nasty Nate was first off with the net around his neck and trophy in hand and went down and we all touched the trophy. Then every player came down through. KD gets off the bus and starts to go outside of the line and the players grab him and make him go through the fans. Then we all went into the JAR and KD turned on the lights in the arena and we all just kind of congregated around players, fans, family, and coaches.

That explains the dance team uniforms then. Very subtle and clever. It was also our 23rd win of the year.

Wow someone doesn't like Akron fans. I hope we get to sit right behind you again next game. "there’s an Akron fan behind us (maybe a player’s dad?) who’s yelled the phrase “Integrity of the game” about 35 times so far. The Zips faithful seem to have a major problem with the refs. Let me point out that there have been 2 fouls called on each team so far (apparently their major beef is about missed traveling calls… yeah, that’s what has Akron shooting 0-9 from the field to start off.)"That didn't have anything to do with the score. Once MAC refs get going the integrity of the game goes down like it did against Toledo. Its not about us being 0-9 in a slow start but about bad calls (or lack of calls).

Humpty said he obviously won't be 100% but he is planning on playing. We will probably see a little more of McNeese tomorrow night.

So today about 14-15 Rowdies went, at the request of Caleb to the field house to root against our new goalies. Positioned right behind the goal we waited for them to start. First up was David Meves. He didn't give up a goal but the orange team wasn't clicking and wern't shooting that well, but he is gonna be a stud. He just kept smiling when we yelled at him. 2nd up was Josh Pantazelos. This half the orange team was clicking and he gave up 6 goals. In his defense the 1st goal was absurd and there was no way he coulda got that. I think we got into his head a little bit and messed him up. He has a solid leg and hit the roof one time. At the end Caleb told his new players to go introduce themselves, which was very nice. Caleb is a very classy guy and came over and shook everyone's hands twice. This just pumped me up for next year even more.

Well went to the game last night and it was awesome. The Rowdies thoroughly pissed EVERYONE off by being there and being loud to the point that when we went back to our bus, Buffalo students had already pissed on it. Yes you read that correctly. We also had a nice campus patrol member show us his badge and flick us off at the same time. A couple of Buffalo thugs felt the need to sit next to our section and say how they were gonna "F us up". Then got pissed when we started chanting "let us wear our flat brimmed hat!" and "let us stand 5 ft tall!" It made it even better then there 2 police officers (mounties) had to come down and stand btw us (the Rowdies did nothing antagonistic because we have class.) Then a few of their football players felt the need to stand next to us and talk about their MAC championship but they thought our cheers and comments back were funny and they turned out to be pretty fun. 3/4 of their band decided to flick us off at once. They have great fans there let me tell you.Anyways....to the game. Traveling calls were ridiculous. Bardo was dribbling and his feet were planted, they called him. Buffalo traveled and carried no call. But thats life in the MAC I guess. It was a really great atmosphere with the 2 student sections but the rest of the stadium cleared out with 13.7 seconds left-no faith in their team. 3 in a row in Buffalo

I'm going to the game on the Rowdie bus with about 50 other students. I found Buffalo's event on Facebook and joined and started making comments then other Rowdies saw it and started making posts. If you want a good laugh:http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=52636683642&ref=mfAkron 70Canada 68Canadian Mounties 3

I think they are used to putting pictures of Brett up and didn't realize they needed to put Chris up this time.http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/in...half_surge.html

I hope a bunch of great high school bball players get these and every time they lace them up the Akron logo gets embedded in their heads.

Zips win 61-58. Brett McKnight gets the game winner and scores 1/3 of Akron's pts.

They have been to the line 30 times to our 9. We have 4 guys with 3 or more fouls.

HAHA! I will juggle customers and other random object like fire during commercial breaks.

Future bracketbuster opponent Valpo is on espn360 tonight vs Loyola tonight if anyone wants to get a feel for the team. I will try and watch the game at work.

Yep, 3rd loss to the West=West's Bitch. Just think they play another West team don't they.

Exactly what I was getting at. I know the West winner gets the #2 seed but its the runner up in the West that I am worried about stealing a bye. I'm glad I am not the only one who has already thought of that. Whoever in the East when they go back to East play goes 3-2 I think will get the bye.

If both Ball State and Western MI both pick it up and play against the cupcakes in the west one of them could sneak in and steal the 4 spot while the East is beating itself up.

You know your in a bad conference when you are 1-8 and thats only 4 games back. :blink:

WOW! 63 combined fouls in that game! 40% of CANTS pts were off free throws. NIU 23 of 41 from the line is just awful.

"Coach Ricardo Patton said the issue is over and both players "understand and respect this program's expectations and standards.""Wow that sounds like a Can't State line. Although at least they missed a game and not a practice.

The NIU game on Sunday could get even uglier for NIU then expected. 2 Players suspended. One is their leading scorer and rebounder. I think this will be a MONSTER CUPCAKE now.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/bask...0208/index.html
