Not worth a new thread, but it appears Hannah Luburgh's time playing overseas has come to an end.

/Keith Dambrot logic. I brought the point up in a prior thread and it got completely ignored. For good reason I suppose.

Pretty disappointing article for sure. Not one of their better pieces.

Is there a video of the press conference I guess you would call it today? Would like to see that where I don't have to chase around info all over the internet before giving an opinion.

Think I asked this question and Keener replied a while back. Pretty sure he is.

Worst call in history. hands down. Sneaky Pete was trying to be cute and it backfired big time.

Yes it should have, if you don't place any value on stats and only believe what you want to believe.

Those 3 would be a great way to round out the class IMO. Props to Hustlebelt for putting something like that together. They do a lot of nice work covering the MAC that we wouldn't have if it wasnt for them.

Bortles may have been the worst starter in the NFL last season. Somewhat lackluster is putting it very lightly. Same with Carr. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-10-types-of-nfl-quarterbacks/

maybe some of the know-it-alls on here should ref since there is an apparent shortage :laugh_up: Three things in life..death, taxes, and the refs out to get Akron.

I can't speak highly enough of what Coach Kest has done with this program.

So our leading scorer does not start, plays above average defense, 4th best points per 40 in the conference, and is 6th on the team in minutes. Does not compute. And we demolished this team at home. Most certainly shouldn't lose to this team.

He has recognized his mistakes many times. However, since we are at the point in the discussion where my posts are being edited and even deleted because they don't meet the status quo, you can research it if you care enough and do not believe me.

The point is to educate ZN.o posters on the history of our coaches so that maybe they will not be so hypocritical (related to Tressel, the topic), even if it gets in the way of our biases. Not to throw current or former UA coaches underneath the bus. I'm sorry I don't live in a fairy tale world and pretend everybody is perfect. I can recognize when somebody messes up, forgive them for their faults, and move on from it.

The original post was sourced. The Darkside of college football by Paul Davis April 24, 2001. Look it up, skip and let me know what you think. Our coach has been involved in cover ups much more substantial than players exchanging earned memorabilia for tattoos. Unlike some others, I don't hold people's mistakes against them for eternity.

That's fine and all. But maybe let's not be so hypocritical when our own CFB coach doesn't have so much of a squeaky clean record either when it comes to ethics? Off the record interview with Paul Davis April 24, 2001 that is all over the internet Interview with Terry Bowden April 24, 2001, at his Loachapoka ranch.

You guys realize it doesn't take all the much to get into the CFB HOF right? I mean John Cooper is in it. Nor is it based on FBS success only. Tressel's pops, Lee Tressel is also in the CFB HOF, and he only ever coached at Baldwin Wallace. But I get it, some people have an irrational dislike for the guy and nothing is going to change that.

It appears the refs were calling a tight game tonight. Something the Zips could have taken advantage of like Toledo did. Aggressive defense and neglecting getting the ball to the paint is a formula for disaster when that is happening. The starting PG, SG, and backup PG/SG were top 3 in the team in shots taken. All 3 are perimeter players. What else do we expect? Our starting center and slashing guard led the team in FTs. Coincidence? It's the nature of the beast. I bet OU was pretty low in the conference on FT attempts during the Cooper years. Basically, get used to it if this is going to be our new identity.

I'll go ahead and leave this here as a friendly reminder of the discussion about being obsessed with the 3 ball in the Coppin St thread. Toledo shot 11 3. We shot nearly 3 times that much at 27.

I would like Youngstown St too. Not sure why Akron fans seem to be so against it. My guess is afraid.

does someone on here also run the Zips Mbb twitter account? Akron Zips MBB ‏@ZipsMBB 29s30 seconds ago Zips already called for 4 fouls, Toledo just 1. UT has shot 16 free throws to just 2 by the Zips. #ZipsCity #ZipsGameday

Can't believe I forgot about him considering the remarkable thought provoking opinions he contributed to the forum.

Not sure why there would be. Also he will be involved with the coin toss at the CFB National championship.

I get your point because i am the same way in basketball. Not sure why people complain about the top MAC program playing other top MAC programs (eg. We were "screwed" for having to play WMU and Toledo in crossover games). I''m not ready for that in football though, at least until we take our program to another level. Concentrate on beating the teams we are supposed to beat first. JMO.
