So they took it down a month and most of us die-hards didn't even know. That right there speaks for itself how dumb it was in the first place. (I believe I called it too).

I think he has already been linked to the DePaul job. Buffalo better pay up if they want to keep him. They just hired a D3 football coach. Hopefully they didn't overpay him and not leave money for anyone else.

Everyone knew their defense/the loss of our PG would be a problem, but thats only part of the game. Many were bringing up counters to it/ how our size would be an advantage/etc. I went back and read the 1st 10 pages of the game thread. (Deji, Walsh, and Pat were last minute issues by the way, not at the time of the draw). Their was a lot more optimism than you two are making it out to be. Of course plenty of realistic opinions of saying there wasn't really a chance either. Don't forget, we were supposed to be a pretty damn good team that year. Even without our starting PG, we dominated a pretty damn good senior laden OU team fresh off of a sweet 16 run the prior year.

Nice effort by Buffalo. A better one than we ever had. I hope they can keep Hurley for a while. Would be great for the conference.

Some Syracuse players are looking to relocate. One closer to home in Indianapolis. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/12517086/syracuse-orange-losing-bj-johnson-ron-patterson

You'd figure Lee Owens would be smart enough to play/fully utilize the most talented player on his team.

this has been one of the most entertaining opening days I remember in quite some time.

are Hoyer and Wood even on scholarship?

big 12 getting exposed. Not sure i've seen more of a boneheaded play than the one at the end of the SMU/UCLA game.

I caught that too as well. Gilb, thanks for sharing. Besides that hiccup, I thought it was a very well put together survey that can be useful to the athletic department. I hope they consider taking advice. Go Zips!

You just called me an asshole for disagreeing with you and using facts, not an opinion, to support it. Pot meet kettle. What ZN.o has no place for (in my mind) is agendas.

Oh. The guy that took a pay cut and sacrificed job stability to leave us? So much passion and belief for the U. For the record, I have zero issue with Porter and wish him well, but get off your high horse.

My bad on the comprehension fail. As for your bottom sentence, that's pretty much where I am. Obviously no Mike Thomas, who Dr. Z posted, but could also be a lot worse than he is. If I had to grade him, it would be a C with the potential of a B depending if Bowden ever gets over the hump. Most likely B when factoring in all sports, and because Bowden is going to get the program to at least an above .500 point.

You enjoyed watching us win one game? Zero against FBS competition? Over going .500 in OOC, a win over a P5 program at their place (and playing Penn State tough as well), and being in the running for the MAC championship up until the last few weeks of the season?

Can't really argue with that.

We got what many thought at the time a nice draw against VCU. We were a 12 seed and basically had home court advantage. We lost by 50.

Can't believe I've actually go suckered into this convo, but TW bashers, please tell me your expectations of a "good" AD. I'd let to see how realistic some's expectations are.

You're reaching. This is common and is most likely happening at every single D1 university. We have had pretty damn good coaching retention if you ask me. As for a-zip, sack up dude. Nothing wrong with people disagreeing with you.

how many tournament wins, final fours, or national championships does Akron account for? What about NIT,? CBT? CBI...?!

+1 if I could. The men's and women's soccer spring exhbition schedules should totally be on GoZips.com and be updated daily. Inexcusable.

while I agree with your overall point, I think that UA does a pretty solid job with your points above. At least in the newer colleges like the CBA. Something like Zook may be another story. I only had one class in there and hardly went.

Is anyone doing either of those in this thread?

good to hear. Stipend can only help with retention I'd figure, and those uniforms were well past due for an upgrade.

We are THE University of Akron.
