I didn't see a thread for the game yet, and it's tomorrow night, so I thought maybe we should bring it up. So who's all taking the trip down to Athens? Here's what the people at OU nation are saying... http://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/t...1&PID=23730

Tyrelle Pryor had Zips Men's Soccer Season tix? yea... but then he sold them for more tatoos...

the meeting at Anderson Arena was a high scoring game...the final score was 90-72 Box score score at halftime Bowling Green 47 Akron 35 Tecca had 16, Ruper had 15, and Murphy had 10. This should be an interesting game, but the rest of the supporting cast needs to score more tonight. Carly Young did have 14 against Bowling Green as well. Akron is on a roll and playing some great basketball right now. If Ruper can hit three's like she did against Ball State, Teccas/Young gets some work going, Murphy shows her senior leadership by producing big numbers, and my big key is Cassell/Williams need to control the tempo and take care of the ball. If Zips can do that, they should pull the upset... so... Who's all going to the game tonight?

If you don't feel comfortable on the South side bleachers, come over to the north side bleachers...i agree with you h.a.rowdie, we even had people in santa claus suits, soccer heads, etc. No one can stay in college forever(unless you're a professor, coach, or president of the university obviously), but you should always have that passion for your school. I haven't been able to go to many games this fall/winter due to coaching, but I tape all the basketball games that are televised, and if im able to get out of practice early enough, i come for the second half of the games. If you have the passion and pride for your school, you will have passion and pride for the rest of your life in whatever you do with your life. But if not, we can;t give it to you. Only yourself can do that....

When you play a team as God-awful as EMU, it shouldn't be a matter of a few baskets. That game should be a 20-point blowout win 9 out of 10 times. I guess this was that 1 out of 10?

Now im not at practice, so i don't know how they do there. But here is what I would have on the floor: McNees Roberts Diggs Cvetinovic Marshall McNees might change spots with Roberts in SG spot. I would like to see Roberts play some PG as well. Diggs has impressed me defensively, but McClannahan I see more of a offensive side then defense; however, he's not been as effective as of late. McKnight is just too much of a hazard on defense. He keeps picking up silly fouls on defense. We need to find this year's Jimmy Conyers fast. My opinion is that it could be Roberts if he produces more. It may be Diggs, or may even be Egner. But someone has to step up now, and help Zeke out...

Let's see. Downtrodden, back bencher Zips getting away with fouls even at home. The Refs must be slipping. Most coaches "work" the refs. Get over it. Kest has done a pretty decent job of lifting the lowly Lady Zips out of the stink cellar. All this while being continually poached by other conference teams ... including yours. This season Zips are young often starting three true freshmen. The Sockets start juniors and seniors. Zips got lucky with the scheduling or the might Sockets would have crushed the poor Lady Zips in TwoLeeDo. Try tossing a compliment or two rather than ranting how your over dog team sucked on the road. Geez, one of your ex- players decides to transfer to a school that wins, gets to the postseason, and ranks in top 50 of attendance in NCAA. What a piece of **** she is for having those aspirations. BTW, she is not on scholarship and probably won't be next year. Didn't realize you start three freshmen...im sure Tricia Cullop will convince them to transfer two hours west where they might have a chance to win... I'm not sure how you feel about it, but what would you do if Logan Pastor would of decided to move to McKinley school district instead of staying at Green? Would that of bothered you? Probably not...since you're beyond that... And what are you talking about "just wanting to win"?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?! SHE WAS!!!!!!!! they were the 4th seed in the MAC Tournament last year, and only had 2 seniors gone. She decided to transfer from a team that won 17 games and 10 MAC games a year ago. It was moving in a great direction. She decided to be selfish. If she wanted to go to Toledo, then why didn;t see sign there before? Because the coach wasn't interested then? so Toledo's coach is trying to recruit players already in the college ranks? yeah...i never had a problem with Toledo fans before, but you just made the rep of ur fans go down a lot more...too bad im not going tommorow to watch the Akron men's wipe the floor of the Sockets...

what a run to start the 2nd half

Z.I.P., a little bird told me that the UPS was late on sending her the LOI papers to sign, so that's why her fax was sent in later than the others...

At least on the bright side, Akron Lady Zips are beating the MAC-leading Toledo Rockets at the JAR right now 24-23, at the half... http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?sh...mp;#entry135695

Akron women's basketball team leading the MAC-leading Toledo Rockets 24-23 at the half...sounds like a good game...my car is still defrosting...taking me over an hour to get it totally ready for school tommorow... frustrating... COME ON LADY ZIPS!!!!!! BEAT THOSE ROCKETS!!!!!!!

highlight reel 2010: 2008(high school?):

She left, and has to sit out this year. Very Selfish IMO... i would like for her to hear it from people there even if she can't play...i don't care if she grew up at Hoover HS, she thought she had a better chance of winning at Toledo. If her and Witt would of stayed, we would of been near the top of East right now. Instead, we're 2-6 with a lot of youth. I just feel bad for Murphy who has stuck through all 4 years and never thought of leaving. guess some people are just wired differently... http://www.utrockets.com/ViewArticle.dbml?...p;Q_SEASON=2010

Yes...KD really loves that "hands in pocket" defense It's not always the coaches fault. Don't you think that maybe it's the players who are being lazy on defense? No, it can't be...it's got to be the coach that has taken Akron to four straight MAC championship games, right? Come on. I coach high school basketball, and I know that you can have the best scouting report and/or gameplan, and may not win or play well because ur players aren't playing to their full potential every given night whether you have them in for 5 minutes or 40 minutes. The coaches can't play, so of course, they get blamed for on court execution Seriously, name 5 coaches that you would rather have that are coaches in the MAC right now other than Dambrot. The rotation is a little different. But we don't know how they do in practice. Dambrot's job is to put the best "product" on the floor, not always the best players. So if a certain "product" doesn't work, then he needs to find a new "product". It's not as clear cut as we see it in games. You may all analyze Dambrot's every decision, but how many of you would do what he does on a daily basis? As a fan, we have every right to have our opinions, but I wouldn't have any other coach in the MAC than Dambrot leading the Zips. I can't say the same for our coach on the other side of the Stiles Fieldhouse...

I'm going to complain because I can't get off of work to go to it tuesday. So now I don't know how I'm going to be able to know what happens/see it at it's entirety without paying for it or something...

here it is if u missed it... http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-news-pay-forw...0,3157297.story

gozips.com article: http://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...TCLID=205072622 It's a great story, and I know the softball players cared about Olivia and the rest of the Ward family. It's sad that Olivia is already gone. See how tonight goes with the Pay it Forward segment. Should be a little emotional to say the least...

the 12th? I thought that the MLS SuperDraft was around those days...

I don't know enough about the MLS to be able to critique it. The thing that got me excited was Ampai to Seattle. I really have enjoyed watching Zakuani with Seattle. If he could team up with Ampai that would be awesome! I watched the draft last year, and Chivas picked Gavin one pick before Seattle...later on in the draft, Sigi Schmid came out and admitted that if Gavin was still there when they were picking, they would of taken Blair Gavin...

If my math is correct, there are 18 MLS teams now, and there are 4 rounds in the MLS SuperDraft. If 7 Akron players are taken, that means almost 10% of the names being called on January 13, 2011, wil be from the University of Akron. That's AWESOME

Ampai has some vids on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150340463345702
