We've won 11 in a row at Bowling Green (13 straight in the series) and 21 of last 22. Let's keep the streak going. BG have lost 5 of their last 6, including last week at Miami. No excuses for this one. Zips by 14.

Dambrot is 12-2 vs CMU. I can't see us dropping a second game to them in the same season. Zips win by 7.

We should never look past Can't, especially on the road. Rivalry games always bring the best out of certain players. Do I think we will lose? No, but I think that should be one of our most challenging games remaining.

None of them are getting an at large bid?

I emailed a member of the South Point Classic staff and they said there will be a live stream and they were going to send me the link. I'll post it when he sends it over.

The East just got a little easier to win with the departure of Dino Babers.

That's what I get when I'm driving back to North Carolina!

Matt Campbell is leaving Toledo to take the Iowa State job. The MAC is losing a great coach. Interesting that Toledo beat Iowa State earlier this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he has them ranked for their 2017 visit to Akron.

Pruitt Entertainment Group makes the football intro. They also created many of the graphics for the video board in the JAR. The intro video is made by whichever grad student is in charge of ZipsVision for that semester.

I saw him get a nice Gatorade bath. Well deserved. First game of the year for me and it was total domination. Great to watch the few Can't fans leave early in disgust. Anyone have a number for attendance? got there too late to get a bobble head.

I'll make it from Wilmington, NC for my first game of the year.

Even 7-5 is not a lock if there are enough bowl eligible teams. Bowls pick the teams, it's not based on record. Think 2013 Toledo who was 7-5. It helps greatly to have that 7th win because only having 6 wins is scary for our chances if enough teams are eligible. Last year 6-6 Ohio was left out. 2014 6-6 CMU was left out.

Will our team be at the Villanova game tomorrow scouting? Pretty sure they headed to Philly already.

Great game. I remember when our backup PG tried to fill in and couldn't even play 10 minutes without cramping up. Great seeing the stands empty early and Razorback fans melting on Twitter. Before the game tonight, Arkansas won 54 consecutive games at home against unranked non-conference opponents. They were also 40-1 at home under head coach Mike Anderson (only loss was to a ranked Syracuse team).

Does anyone know about the $300k Lebron James Interactive Exhibit we are trying to fund?

Maybe the selection committee was watching the USMNT game and saw we were the only college with multiple guys. The announcers gushing over Akron's program was nice.

I got worried when I checked the ESPN ap and they have Akron down by 20+. Pulled up the stream to see we were doing fine.

Jake was #20 last year, so it's interesting to see if he dropped out of the rankings, or how high has risen. http://www.hustlebelt.com/mac-basketball/2014/10/22/6994637/2014-mac-basketball-top-25-20-g-f-jake-kretzer-akron-zips/in/6744236 I thought everyone thought highly of Robotham last year. Most on this board said the season was over when he went down. Most fans of other teams I talked to couldn't believe he was a freshman and they had 3 more years of him to put up with.

Wow. And he's 5th in rebounds and 6th in steals.

We like to keep track of our soccer Zips in the pros, but what about former basketball players? How many and where are they? Dru Joyce Romeo Travis Jeremiah Wood Nate Linhart Chris McKnight Brett McKnight Nik Cvetinovic Alex Abreu Quincy Diggs -- leading the team in scoring, but the poor guy has a Can't player on his team Tree Nick Harney Who else is active?

A pic of Pat on the MBB homepage on espn caught my eye with the headline "Insider Mid-American preview: Forsythe, Akron could emerge". Anyone with ESPN Insider care to comment what their deep insights are? http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/insider/story/_/id/13828326/akron-zips-favorites-mid-american-conference

If Noah isn't in this list, there must have been a huge increase in talent in the off season. It's a long shot, but I wouldn't be completely shocked to see Jackson near the bottom of the list either after his MAC tourney performance.

Sounds like Dambrot has a goal of winning 25 games from his comment at the end.

Before last season the MAC and ESPN signed a new deal. http://www.hustlebelt.com/2014/8/19/6045303/explaining-the-new-mac-espn-tv-deal

This was Akron's biggest margin of victory vs a MAC opponent since beating Can't State at home in 2005. It's great to get another huge road victory. Been a while since we have been good road warriors.
