this is cool. Getting the U/students in touch with a F500 tech company as well as local businesses in the region. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20180212/blogs15/151661/how-akron-u-might-be-ebay-u-some-students?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

I have a KD bobblehead you can have - unopened.

once again, willing to buy coasters from those who might not want them.

I'd have to look at the stats, but I don't even think Gasser was better than O'Leary. Thats a change that baffled me throughout the season. I can't disagree too much though. Lets give a scholly to the best kicker and then a good young kicker. Its worth it.

That's pretty fair...and why i'm willing to engage in back and forth with you. Counterpoint: Duquesne and UA are more on the same level than Akron and OSU. They are both mid-majors. UA to Duquesne is a 1:43 trip per google maps. UA to OSU is 1:52. Same state or not, Duquesne is closer. Duquesne is also much closer than the majority of our conference foes. Yes the A-10 is better, but is Duquense better? Sort of like saying the B1G is better than the American, but is Rutgers really a better job than Wichita State? Are Duquesne and Akron not competing for attention now? Seems there are plenty of fans paying attention to Duquesne (even at the expense of Akron) that never would have gave them a thought in the past. I would call that competing for attention. As for another player, Torey Patton comes to mind right away. Yahell Hill, Maceo Austin, and Josh Corbin are 3 guys in the future just by looking on verbal commits for 2 minutes.

Idk.... I doubt any OU fans are wishing Groce success here. It's not like he left us for a clearly better job a la Fleck to Minnesota, Groce to IL, etc., etc. He is still the competition..whether it be for current players (the ones he took), future players (we've already recruited against him multiple times), fans (seems like some people were more KD fans than Zips fans), and even on the court (if he ever has the cojones to schedule us). Not saying you, but its interesting to me that there are people who are the biggest OSU haters on the site and claim that they are our competition, yet are seemingly rooting for KD at Duquesne. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. It is a bit agitating to see this board praising a coach who Akron wasn't good enough for. Its very easy to argue he took a step down while taking a slight pay raise. And yes, I certainly appreciated what he did he and wish he didn't leave before anyone tries to say otherwise.

Those taking joy in Duquesne's wins is the weirdest subplot of the 17-18 season. Frankly I only point it out due to the knob-slobbin' that was taking place in this thread earlier in the season, especially when it comes in the form of discrediting our current coach.

Would using the word "left" instead of "abandoned" make you feel that much better? Sheesh.

It may have been and I can't complain too much because we won, just hated seeing them get 2nd chance points.

We just won a game where only 4 players scored and 2 walk-ons played for at least 40 of total available 200 minutes. Effort was most definitely there today..

monumental choke job right here

and like I said....these refs blow. How was that even questionable??

37 mins into the game and only 4 players have scored and we might win. Wow.

i feel like we have been the victim of some really weak calls.

get Mark in there

Reghi mentioned that Virshon is out due to a violation of team rules. I don't get it....he seems like a pretty good kid, but I believe this is twice now he's been held out of a game (the other being vs mighty Concord). Get it together, Virshon.

WE absolutely cannot rebound without Mark out there.

The Dukes getting absolutely crushed on their home court by last place A-10, 8-15 Fordham for those of you keeping score at home.

IIRC, Jupiter is an OU fan/alum who works and/or lives in Akron. I doubt they really care about Akron, but rather logs on at times when its relevant to discuss both.

I thought it was a little quiet in this one. Also for those keeping track (and felt the need to point out them beating Dayton earlier in the season at home even though we lost), they just lost to Dayton by more than we did at their place.

I thought the same thing when I first saw the tweet. @94zipgrad hit the nail on the head though.
