Keep Tressel employed at UA for the next few years until his coaching suspension is lifted. Then hire him as the head coach. By then two things could happen 1) we suffer through more 1-win seasons and Bowden gets replaced 2) Less likely scenario, we improve as a program and Bowden moves on to a better gig. Either way I don't think Terry will be around for more than 4 years. Which I believe is the duration of Tressel's suspension? Winning coaches move on, losing coaches get let go.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. The Lady Zips are visiting BG on Wednesday, and the BG coach's last name is Roos. Not creative and not funny. An obvious jab at Akron while trying to promote their coach.

Pointless. UA should not put another cent into the JAR. Unless they can add a couple thousand there is absolutely no reason to make any changes. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

We've lost 3? in a row in Athens. Even last season after beating them at the JAR, we played awful the next matchup. I'd rather not have any more pressure on us.

I was actually thinking Grumpy Cat would be more fitting

I think the Drexel 11-12 comparison is a perfect example of why we won't get an at-large. Finished the regular season with 5 losses, long winning streak, lost in conference tournament. We will most likely have the same results, but that's the MAC. Pretty pathetic that CMU and Miami are just as likely to make the NCAA tournament as the Zips.

Nobody has said that around here. OhioU fans have been fabricating our "claims" for the entire season. Every college team should have a goal to win a championship. If not what's the point of playing the game? Nobody is predicting postseason success, just setting goals for a team. At the end of the day I'd rather spend my time being a fan of my team, the Zips, while other schools can bash us all they want. Just shows a lot about their character...There are even a few screwballs on twitter who have been bashing us for weeks.

Not sure if it was mentioned but did anyone see KD furious at the end of the first half? All I remember was him sprinting across the floor and yelling at someone. Maybe it was because they gave up the 3 at the buzzer? or Chauncey for yelling into the crowd after he hit the 3?

Did the Zips fans storm the court?!

Seriously this should be more than a 6 point game. Sorry but we should have knocked them out of the game 10 minutes ago.

I have the radio stream playing instead. It's not timed perfect but maybe only a few seconds late and very clear. Zips need to dedicate an entire week of practice to free throw shooting...fundamentals guys!!

I had some Jazz music for the first 3 minutes of the game...but fuzzy play-by-play now Our shooting is WAY off tonight WOW

The past few games have all had the same trend. -small lead at the begging -lose lead quickly -tied/close/losing at half -need to make a comeback Should be another close game...

Honestly though I feel like the problem of this team is they only play hard for short segments of the game. They haven't really played a complete game all year. Wouldn't the segment approach just make this trend worse?

Saw on Twitter that the OhioU fans stormed the court after the game ...the real question is, if we pull the upset against BG do we storm the court??

I voted for Akron. But as much as I hate to say it...I'm sure the team from Columbus would easily win.

Look on the bright side, this may be the only game the Zips will win all year.

Seems like the worst thing Akron can do right now is grab a "big" lead. Another 7 point lead going down the drain.

Zips up 7 twice and blow the lead. Zips up 8 and blow the lead.

I understand that no team is perfect but 12 turnovers in a half is unacceptable.

Impressive 3 point lead over....the Eastern Michigan Eagles If the cheerleaders were on our team we'd be winning by 100.

New game, same old story. Lazy passing and letting these terrible teams hang around.

Every time they seem to be pulling away, they let EMU right back in it...

Visibility was the main reason I wanted it next to route 8. Would be a great view from the east to see a nice big arena next to the Infocision. Probably won't be seen if it were built in place of Lee Jackson Field. But at the end of the day, UA knows whats best.

After another slow start I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 5 point game, going either way
