I'd bet my left nut Arth would have won at least 3 games next year (likely more). If that's all our expectations are, he shouldn't have been fired. In my mind, the right guy will be able to at least flirt with bowl eligibility in year 1. These players have a lot of experience and will only continue to improve. The right coach should be able to keep the majority of talented payers and can bring in the right pieces to supplement our weaknesses. Its never been easier to turn a program around quickly with transfers now being immediately eligible AND getting an extra 7 scholarships a year to account for players who voluntarily enter the portal. We have the chance to bring in 32 new should-be quality players as a result.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trimble is 1/10 from 3 so far this game and at least 1/20 in the whole tourney. This is supposed to be his specialty..

I very well may have jinxed us..

We need more from just about everybody. I'd like to see Dawson get more minutes.

we made a 3!!

In my mind, the whole point of firing early is so that you can begin your search early. Guthrie needs to make a quick hire after the season concludes, and hire somebody who is going to focus on being HC of the Akron Zips right away and not wait until after a bowl season or playoffs. Early signing day is the 15th and we've seen the majority of players sign in this period the past few years. New coach needs all the time he can get to salvage this class or his first year will essentially be "year 0" like Arth's since he was hired so late.

Zips are 28.5 underdogs, so I think Vegas agrees with @GoZips86. Tempting to take them, but I should know better.

Zips -1.5...i'll take teamism. No way we can shoot as bad as yesterday.

Guys, there are still 2 more games you get to watch with that massive $30 you spent....always would have got the same thing out of it, the difference now is we don't have a chance to win this meaningless tournament.

Don’t mean to pile on the kid, but I really feel like every time I watch Tribble play he racks up the fouls on defense and is a non threat on offense. Just hasn’t seemed to develop at all since he’s been here.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a worse Zips shooting performance in my life

We might as well be playing 4 on 5 on offense when Tribble is on the floor. I think our shots will start to fall and there’s not as much. Will the difference be enough to overcome the deficit is the question.

Yep. I always use it to listen to 640 WHLO for Zips events and don't pay for anything.

iheartradio is the way to go.

I think I'd take Fordham to cover, but Zips money line. For what its worth, I do also believe you have the opportunity to watch replays.

Let's go Zips!. I've only seen them play against OSU so far, so I'll likely pay the $30 for 3 games against more respectable competition.

I very much agree. Maybe not to the extent of NIU turnaround this year, but hopefully bowl eligible.

Happy to throw in a donation if the option is given. I'm sure others would as well if there's a link stickied somewhere or something.

This was the easiest money I've made all year. This defense is the worst in the nation. Its like its 11 vs 7 when Kent is on O.

Kent is out to embarrass us.

The questions I'd like to know the answer to (and I have a hunch): Do we pay to have these patsies to come to our place to play? Could we get paid to go to P5 programs and play? Would we come out ahead considering cost of travel/lodging, whether or not we were paid, to go play somewhere compared to paying teams to come to our place, assuming that is the case? Regardless of all of that - its not like we don't have costs to go to the Gulf Coast Showcase, Maui Invitational, Wright State, WVU etc.. There is the opportunity to replace those weaker away games/exhibition games with better regional opponents and being in the same spot we are now.

turn on a Navy game. Potentially Army and Georgia Southern too.

He's embarrassed his son a ton throughout his career and Kato has likely been judged, fairly or not based on his actions. Could you understand what he was saying?

I think its pretty obvious why the schedule is the way it is this year. A lot of new faces and roles. The team may exceed expectations/gel quicker than expected and thats great. I don't enjoy the schedule, but understand the logic. BTW - KD was the one who said nobody wanted to play Akron.

Lost and gone forever.
