my guess is no. In fact Larry Williams is going to be live on WAKR 93.5 friday morning between 7 and 9 discussing the challenges during the pandemic at UA.

Just reported on channel 3 by Jim Donovan. MAC is mulling over option to allow immediate family only! 3 relatives per player, no band, no cheerleaders! obviously no fans. Uggh

lady Zips host Toledo monday night in JAR at 7.

In defense of Reece, I thought at least two of his fouls were ticky tack at best. One involved the player behind him (Toure) reaching over for a rebound but the ref calling white 5. offensively his hands are so much better than Deng's. I think they need to give Sayles a few minutes earlier in game too -not just when Cam and Deng are fouled out. As of today in the NET ratings Akron has dropped to 88. Still tops in MAC. Amazingly BG is 154

Is this game no longer the “for Pete’s sake” purple out game? I haven’t seen or heard anything one way or the other. I know Danny is no longer coaching there but it was a nice tribute to our coach Pete. Hate to see both the “Pete’s sake” and the coaches vs cancer games just dropped.

thoughts go out to Don Chiodo, the play by play man for central Michigan football and basketball. He was killed in a car accident yesterday

t shirt cannon was pawned off ? hasnt been seen this year yet.

Xeyrius with a double double in first half! Zips outrebound Marshall 29-14. All that with cheese and banks scoreless

Not sure why a show called Zips "Live" is scheduled at a time when Ducks baseball is scheduled

i guess Huggs doesnt consider anyone in Akron a 'friend".

nothing wrong with homers! I wish Graves was here!! Maybe Mc Day will reconsider with new coach at OU

I saw that. thank yous go out to those generous grads! Tim told me they hope to turf the field to make it playable in almost any conditions, Similar to Kent. Speaking of which, its a shame another of our grads Mike Birkbeck a former major leaguer and well payed assistant at Kent hasnt been willing to give back to his former school!

have we hired offensive or defensive coordinators yet?? Not saying itll happen but Malones head coach Fred Thomas was DC at YSU for 8 years and he probably has stark county football connections. regardless of where he ends up you have to feel for the staff and players at Malone

Not relevant to men’s basketball but did you all see Jody Kest resigned today?

The Canton Charge will reportedly relocate from the 5200 seat Civic center to the new $75 million 5500 seat Hall of fame village sports arena. If anyone has seen the new (fawcett/Benson)stadium they know this new arena will be 1st class. Just doesnt seem fair-Neither Akron or the university combined can afford such a building but the NFL and its owners are building one for Stark county.

Is Groce interested in UA job? None of us really know. But hes under contract with Illinois for another (2, 3 ?) years meaning he is being paid already so salary is not the initial obstacle at least until his contract expires. Another item, Antino was on a radio show on 88.1 this afternoon. He said he was reopening his recruiting and has spoken to a couple schools but he added he will consider staying at Akron depending on the coaching selection.

Isnt it sickening to see that Cleveland is going to spend 140 Million to renovate Quicken Loans arena ( totally unnecessary) yet we cant even get a facelift of the JAR to keep Coach D! This is the 3rd multi million dollar renovation of the Q since it was built in 1994.

Jeff Boals . Ed Schilling?

It was a nice run! But too good an offer to turn down. $7million Plus incentives Plus extra money for assistants. For 7 years, 50-60 Million renovation of an arena already nicer than the JAR. And the kicker, A10 conference. He wont have to win tournement to get in NCAA any more.

The first home game next year being Cleveland state and new head coach ?????????.

Still have a visual memory of Fred in his yellow A sweater leaning against the rail where the players enter/exit the court. I also remember him going all out soliciting donations for pancreatic cancer on Dan Peters purple out games. We didnt always agree but I sure respect his passion and his Service. RIP Fred

I fully agree with your assessment, but who even reads the Columbus Beacon Journal any more. Marla does a fine job but they cover zips a weak 5th (behind the Cavs,Buckeyes, high school, and Flashes). When you bring it up with them (youre just another whiney Akron U fan!we have limited resources.) It wouldnt take much to sit down on a couch and watch the game on the U and do a story! Sorry to say EA is a much better writer concerning the Zips.( ironically I think they cover Akron better than Cleve state). I must say the announcers on the U seemed to have done their homework last night, pretty insightfull. Perhaps theyll also do the Kent game.

Thats a 30 passenger embraer 120 from Air charter express. Yes its a turboprop but it specializes in transporting sports teams and travels @350 mph direct from Akron to Dekalb_which sure beats a bus or flying into Ohare. Unfortunately, I believe we chartered to NIU last year and still lost. Lets hope the result is better this time.

I just noticed that the Ball state game on Feb 7 is scheduled for 6pm. Im not sure if everyone was aware of that early start but i wasnt until now. I also noticed that for some reason GOZIPS shows almost all game start times in february are TBA, yet when you go to the opponents website it shows a scheduled start time. Why cant our website update these? I know there are the 14 day wildcard broadcast changes sometimes but they still have a tentative scheduled start until it is changed. For anyone interested, the Ohio U game (Feb 4) and Eastern Michigan game (Feb 11) are both scheduled for 12noon. The Bowling Green game on Feb 21 is a 9pm tip off.

One of the bigger benefits of having broadcasts on espn3 is the ability to watch the telecast at your own schedule. Im able to make all the home games but some, like the ohio U game are worth rewatching on replay to see the dunks and our big rally. I just wish theyd access the replays on the jumbotron. Id love to see clear slo-mo replays during the gameas we do in football.
