The official announcement was made today to add more possible MAC bowl games. It's a little confusing because a lot of stuff has to happen, but the just of it is that there are an awful lot of bowl games an it's hard for the SEC to send 9 teams bowling each year. http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=462

Akron lost to Toledo yesterday and only scored one run. Considering how potent the Zips offense has been, I'll chalk it up to a bad day against a good left hander. Still, two more games to go this weekend and Akron can rebound to take the series. It should be pretty good baseball weather too! http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=434

The Rockets are expected to announce Tod Kowalczyk (UWGB's coach) as Gene Cross' replacement this afternoon. He's got a good track record in a similar basketball conference. He's also expected to get twice his salary from UWGB. http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=428

Agreed. Tough loss to swallow but one great game to watch.

It says something pretty good about UA basketball that the Zips are the only school to have both the men and women still alive. Two tough games today with the women playing No.1 BG and the men taking on David Kool and company. Still, I think that the men should win and the women can give a great scare to the Falcons.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=403I love tournament time!

It sounds kind of desperate, but I think that if it gets more fans to the game, then it's a great idea! Kind of like all the giveaways that the MAC had for the football championship. It got people in the seats.

TMD still has Akron No. 2 behind Can't. Both teams are playing great and the return trip to UA should be great.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?p=1_145

The Zips lost to Toledo tonight, which is tough. But it was a close game against the possible No. 1 seed in the tournament (on UT's floor might I add). Akron finishes the crossover portion of the season 5-1 against the West. Not too shabby.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=372

For the second straight week, TMD put Akron at No. 2 just being Can't. Forget about the EMU game, this Zips team is legit. I still think they should have gotten on ESPN 2 for BracketBusters.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?p=1_144

Everybody ranks recruits and classes, but personally, I don't get it. The better class does not always make the better team. So, instead, I offer this. One interesting recruiting story for each MAC school. From family members of coaches and ADs, relatives of NFL stars to just fun or inspiring stories.For Akron, it was Richard Hall. He's a great athlete out of West Virginia that was built to help the Zips D-line.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?p=1_143

Arguably, this will be the best of the bunch. I'm a little surprised that it couldn't get on ESPN2. I think that this and Can't State's game will be critical towards possible NCAA seeding. I'd still say it's also still possible to get an at-large with a good run.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=357

The Zips took a slight bump this week because of the loss to Can't State. But, they could easily take it back. I can't wait for the return trip... and probably the game in Cleveland.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?p=1_142

It's pretty early in the season but The Mac Daily has Akron on top of its power rankings. The Zips are the strong team in a pretty average MAC this year.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?p=1_140

Historically, Can't State has owned Akron in women's basketball. The flushes have only lost seven times ever and recently had an 18-game winning streak in the series. But, they've now lost two of three and so I ask, is Akron catching up?http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=323

Awesome award and an awesome story. I like how the Beacon Journal gave two real in-depth stories on Morefield this week.
