Zippy now down by 100-ish votes as of 1:50 PM Thursday... let's get going!Rob

Here, here! I second that.

Stanford loses to Louisville by 20. Can't help but think the Zips would have made a better game of it that that.Or Drexel for that matter. <------ NCAA to the selection committee.

I have emailed John J. Powers. He is listed on the NIT website as "Participating Institutions," I am assuming that has something to do with choosing the Participating Institutions. You may also want to email him and let the NIT/NCAA know what you think of a 26-win team not being invited to play in the NIT....jpowers@ncaa.orgYours in the Roo!Rob NCAA------> <-------- MAC Refs

I know this is probably wishful thinking, but is there anywhere that sells an Akron jersey? Online? Somewhere in Akron?RT

I went up for the game yesterday and will say one thing... this team will not quit, and JD won't let them. If you watched to the end, JD called all three of this timeouts with less than two minutes to go. The PSU morons were going ballistic. I thought it was great. They played the whole game and were trying to do something positive until the very end. Even whey the guys came off the field they didn't hang their heads. This team has some pride, dammit! And that's the biggest difference I have seen over the Owens and even the Faust-led teams. (Well, that and the fact JD does a good job coaching.)I think dry weather at NC State will be the difference. There were a lot of balls that shot through recievers' wet hands on Saturday. Luke's passes were on the money; this guy will be playing on Sundays. NC State is very beatable.Go Zips!
