Yeah, who would want another MAC POY candidate on the team?

Horrible, horrible call. BG player was out of control and Big Dog was just standing there.

Big Dog is getting instantly doubled, sometimes triple teamed as soon as he touches the ball. BG is doing a good job limiting him. Other players need to step up and play at least their average game.

Sounds like a loser's excuse. Big Dog looks fine to me.

Anyone notice TDM's awkward "cock-back" motion when he shoots? Keep hitting 3s and I'll live with it tho.

Few positive minutes for TDM. There we go.

Also Frye for BG looks like a HS freshman.

We blew our wad too early in the season.

I see it, but there is no game on my feed.

Right. Should have clarified just the quoted part from the prior year in the link.

Well...I think I am using "sketchy" in the sense that the business model just not make sense to me.I linked a pretty good article below from Forbes detailing it.Seems they are mostly running on investor money for the time being, which is understandable to start. They expect to turn a profit in Chicago and give it about a 50% chance to be profitable in Toronto in 2017. They are also reporting 6 figure revenue, which could mean 100k or 900k. Either is pretty small I think. The 50% chance to turn profitability in a market of 6 million people does not seem like a good sign to me either. There are 4 teams in Toronto - the Raptors, Blue Jays, Maple Leafs, and Toronto FC. Meaning they need 8,000 subscribers in a market of 6 million people, or roughly 1/10th of 1% to turn a profit and they are not sure if they can do it. They are saying they need a little under 2,000 subscribers PER team PER market to turn a profit. So Jason Llloyd, the Cavs beat writer, himself needs 2,000 subscribers and those subscribers would generate a whole 100k in revenue. Now I'm not a genius but in the NBA season you have 41 away games, plus playoff away games, plus a few preseason away/across the state games. Heck..you could even throw in summer league games if they want to send him there. I'd have to be convinced that all of that travel isn't close to 100k in itself across a whole season. And I sure doubt Lloyd is jumping ship for to work for free or a pay decrease. FINALLY they are getting some good writers, I will admit that. HOWEVER, why would I or anyone pay for their analysis when you can get it for free from various other sources? Its not like whoever now writing for The Athletic all of the sudden has access to insider information that will make people want to pay for their service. http://www.forbes.com/sites/darrenheitner/2017/01/10/why-2-1-million-was-invested-in-a-sports-news-subscription-site/#c1405e142c41

I guess you could classify this as marketing. Bowden will co-host the a radio show on WAKR from 10-2 tomorrow, with UA and other local special guests. My guess is you will learn some things from this. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2017-18/releases/20170221f27jxn

Troy surprised last year, and looks to have even bigger expectations this season. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/2/20/14622230/troy-football-2017-preview-schedule-roster BTW - can't help but think of a team we are all familiar with when reading their previous year preview.

Another embarrassing error by GT? Color me shocked. Speaking of the ABJ, Jason Lloyd is leaving them for some media start up called The Athletic, whose business model seems sketchy at best. The sole revenue source is dependent on paid subscriptions. Not a good sign when one of your top talents is taking such a risky move to get out.

I know. We must win to keep our at large and high seeding hopes alive!

Well crap.

Kwan needs to take the corn rows out after this game. Clearly bad luck.

Hitman is indeed in the house!

3rd(?) foul on Poke was a bad call. Hall hooked him.

Utomi does. not. miss.

Over 300 early bid student tickets sold. Have to say that is more than I would have guessed.

BIG if true.

More nice ink from Terry Pluto (again). http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/index.ssf/2017/02/keith_dambrot_at_akron_waffles_wins.html#incart_river_index

Dang. It appears you are right or at least close. Not sure why I was thinking it was much smaller. For those interested... Here is a link to the EY Statement of Work: https://www.uakron.edu/budget/docs/ua-sow-dec2016.pdf Here is a link to the actual report: https://www.uakron.edu/budget/docs/ernst-and-young-report.pdf

Probably a good read for all of you who enjoy talking RPI, KenPom, BCS, FPI, whatever. Made it about half way through. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-ncaa-is-modernizing-the-way-it-picks-march-madness-teams/?ex_cid=story-twitter
