Lavar comes from Lavar Ball, considering the apparent similarities between the two.

It was a joke based on your emoji usage in communication. I am assuming you got the Lavarr Nelson reference.

Could very well be ignorance on my part, but I haven't seen anything that makes me have much respect for the C-USA in recent years. What was the conference's best OOC win this year? What was the MAC's? I don't think we (as in the MAC) had any notable OOC wins this year, but have beaten ranked OK St and Arkansas very recently. I believe we've strung together multiple years with wins over B1G teams as well. What I do know is we set the stadium record for points scored against Marshall last year. Different team, but still. I respect FAU. We'd all kill for a 10 win season and conf. championship. I'm just not sold that they are some Toledo-level team all of the sudden when they have historically been pretty dreadful and Kiffin has only been there one season. This is fun though playing a team we have no familiarity with who the media is somewhat infatuated with. I hope our players are up to the challenge.

Have you been hanging around Lavarr Nelson?

Who would have thought we would have seen this at the beginning of the year? Go Poke!

The future looks bright at QB...

Couple questions for the FAU visitors: 1) What do you think the chances are that Lane is there next season? 2) What do you think about that horrible TV contract C-USA has, and what do you think the conference is going to do about it in the future?

Akron's SOS to this point is 236. You might have it mixed up with our old coach. His squad is 347 out of 351. https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other

what in the hell....

I know Keyondre White mentioned signing early (and enrolling in Jan) in one of his interviews shared on here.

I hope he has more important things to do than read this board, even though I believe at least one of his family members do. All I did was post an update of how the season was going. Don’t believe I was critical one way or the other.

Yeah she seems pretty good. If I recall correctly, they mentioned on the first broadcast that she used to be an assistant for our women’s team.

Actually Skip, I didn't do either of that. All I did was post facts. 1) Comparing scores really means nothing. There are countless examples that prove this. If it did, we probably would have finished in last place in the MAC last year after the opening game loss to YSU. 2) I recall you predicting somewhere between 10-15 wins this season and being one of the most critical of the Groce hire. So why are you moving the goal posts and finding it "concerning" that we might not look as good as the MAC favorite?

You mean the MAC champion favorite beat them by more than us? The humanity! I didn't realize we were supposed to be contending for a title all of the sudden. If it makes you feel better, WMU beat Cleveland State by a whole 1 more point than us.

We kind of got bailed out on that last foul call. The guy didn't really touch Sayles and it would have put them inbounding the ball from a very favorable spot on the court. Don't know how good App State will end up being, but they brought their A game tonight. Well earned victory and an entertaining game to watch to boot. Its just fun watching this team without expectations.5 true freshman contributing and only 3 players from last year (1 starter) if anyone forgot. Heck of a game by Duvivier. Big shots by Utomi. Ivey really seems to be finding himself. You are also already seeing some improvement out of Virshon and Kostelac. Huge improvement out of Poke, IMO. That can really make a difference this season if he can continue to be a threat inside. Cupcake next Saturday and then off to Hawaii for a chance of a big win or two. Go Zips!

Now they are starting to let them get away with a lot more contact than us.

That block foul on Ivey looked clean. The refs have been pretty good though so i can't complain a whole lot.

This is a fun game.

Bad play by Kostelac with the TO on offense then follows up it with bad defense on the other side by trying to jump the post pass.

I feel like this might be our most complete game so far this year, yet we are only up by 3.

I like the interviews they do at the half with different faculty. Always feel like I learn somethingl.

15 assists on 16 field goals! Team ball.

Poke takes the contact and still gets it to go down! Still need to work on that FT though Love the effort by him.

Reghi with the night off I guess. His replacement just called Appy State the Warriors.

8 games into the season and KD has the Dukes at the 5-3 mark. Zero wins against a team with a pulse yet, including losses to both very average inter-city rivals. He should win out the rest of the OOC, as it was literally filled with low-majors outside of Pitt, Robert Morris, and Cornell. I have a feeling he will be in for a rude awakening come conference play.
