  1. Looks like Akron's pro day is March 24th at 8am. Full list can be found below. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000787820/article/nfl-draft-pro-day-schedule-for-2017-prospects?campaign=tw-nf-sf59047813-sf59047813
  2. Graves has been balling. Really hoping we don't end up regretting missing on him.
  3. These players are in the best shape of their lives. I would guess they all actually played more minutes per game in High School.I'd hope they can play 30 minutes a night. I have not noticed any sign of fatigue over the course of the season, even though some others disagree. Play to win the games and get them rest when you can without jeopardizing the outcome of the game. I've always been an advocate of getting heavy usage out of the best players, so it is refreshing to see KD doing that now. The whole "depth" thing is right up there with our "high major size" that posters used to point to as a plus for the program. Both of which never got the program to where we want to be, so I am in favor of taking different approaches to try and get there.
  4. Well our "friends" at PCCC have just given us the #1 seed in the MAC tourney and an NIT birth at worst.
  5. Plenty to clean up, but i'll always take a W in Canada
  6. Sweet drive and shot by Josh .
  7. Lost 4 in a row, and 6 of 7 towards the end of conference play in the 2014-2015 season.
  8. He reminds me a lot of Tyler Boyd.
  9. He also said that Taylor is involved with a lot right now so he doesn't really have time to assist the football program but Bowden said he would like to work together when he has more time. The host mentioned something about using him for recruiting. Also talked about the pull Jason Taylor has down in South Fla and how it can benefit the program. Who would have thought?!
  10. Yeah, who would want another MAC POY candidate on the team?
  11. Horrible, horrible call. BG player was out of control and Big Dog was just standing there.
  12. 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.
  13. Sounds like a loser's excuse. Big Dog looks fine to me.
  14. Anyone notice TDM's awkward "cock-back" motion when he shoots? Keep hitting 3s and I'll live with it tho.
  15. Few positive minutes for TDM. There we go.
  16. Also Frye for BG looks like a HS freshman.
  17. We blew our wad too early in the season.
  18. I see it, but there is no game on my feed.
  19. Right. Should have clarified just the quoted part from the prior year in the link.
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. I know. We must win to keep our at large and high seeding hopes alive!
