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

This time grad students are the target of cuts http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/02/university_of_akron_will_save_129_million_over_two_years_by_reducing_financial_support_to_graduate_assistants.html What was the deficit again?

Archie Miller. I'd advise you not listen to that shitty ass station. You'll save some brain cells.

Not bad points. I don't really care about road trips though. Do we REALLY have a regularly scheduled crossover game with Toledo, or is that just the way its worked the past few seasons? It's not as if they are a permanent crossover game even though I do like playing them. Also couldn't care less about playing BG every season either. Just want Buffalo, OU, and Kent on the schedule every year. UCONN has been pretty bad recently but they just rehired Randy Edsall who is their winningest coach of all time, won a couple of Big East titles, and took them to a BCS bowl in his first stint there. I think I'd be okay with it if the basketball games happened like above and our cut of TV deal/Bowl money didn't decrease (which is unlikely). The MAC is already in last place when it comes to coaching salaries, and Akron is near the bottom of that.

I like the thought of them in football and I also like the thought of extorting them for some basketball games.

Wow. What a selfless and seemingly unprecedented move by Wilson.

They could almost certainly do that for the free Chick-fil-a sandwich coupons they hand out after games as you are walking out the door. IF they still have a partnership with Chick-fil-a that is.

Live by the 3, die by the 3 (almost). Didn't get to watch the game live but came home and watched the replay just fine on ESPN3 with my FireTV. I about turned it off with 10 minutes left until I finally gave in and checked twitter and saw that we came back and won. Thoughts: Shooting 3s are fine. Forcing 3s are not. The offense looked so much better once we started running it through Big Dog like we have most of the year. It helped that he finally starting making some shots as well. Noah REALLY gets a free pass on here. I will give it to him that he is a good "floor general" (Antino is much more under control this season by the way), but he isn't great at defense and it virtually a non existent threat at all offensively right now. Missing wide open 3s and wide open bunnies. A W is a W. The streak is still alive. Beat Kent!

It worked pretty well for the Gateway District in Downtown Cleveland, although obviously bigger numbers there.

Who knows. Doesn't sound quite as bad as the 10 million that was overlooked in the Parma school budget that was discovered by a parent I might add.

I thought that was a good promotion as well.

What is your reasoning?

Creative, takes a shot at students who wear OSU gear, and creates some awareness for Kent/Akron week. I like it.

A 12 or 13 seed in Buffalo would be pretty legit!

Tress is doing good things at YSU. Don't think I'll ever get over that huge whiff the BoT and faculty made by appointing Scarby over him. If only he had a doctorate. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170211/NEWS/170219960/jim-tressel-tackles-youngstown-states-problems-with-grit?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social
