Call me dumb but looking at our overall roster Excluding Abreu & a red shirt freshmen we have 5 other Guards on the roster. If none of them can handle the ball = why even have them on the roster?

Should build a multipurpose arena to capitalize on letting it be rented out for events as there is no other arena in the immediate area. Richmond Coliseum Capacity 13,553 (concerts) 11,992 (basketball) 11,088 (hockey)

Such Great United Fans We Are Thanks

I totally understand what you said but what irked me is the fact that what i originally said wasn't negative at all but a MOD himself and nobody else thought so and he deleted it. I gave him a serious response voicing my frustration just like others have done on here in the past 48 hours and he gives me a unprofessional response dropping an F Bomb. If thats how he and other Mods feel about new members then fine then. I know I am not wanted here and the previous poster supporting the Mod's actions further verified that. If the Mod would of gave me the same type of reply you did then everything would of been fine as i understood that. I am a Proud Akron Alum Class of 2006 currently living in MD and a active booster for both the football & basketball programs and was happy to find this board. But if everything thing on here is one dimensional and heavily censored and scripted in regards to members not being able to express an unpopular opinion then yes this is definitely not to place for me. I will do like the great Mod said and "use the appropriate f*cking thread" on another board.

So you support moderators bullying everyone around dropping F Bombs but turn right around and police & sensor us for doing the same thing Quite sad if you do

I think the student sections did well last night. Watching the game on tv that building looked electric. I remember the Hipster days when minutes before the game we could jog over to the Jar after eating at Robs and get AK-Rowdy floor seat tickets behind the hoop because nobody knew about them. Place was barely half filled when literally Porenza could do his walk around at halftime and shake everyones hand. We have definitely come a long way.

Great story Thanks for sharing

Oh so now you gotta resort to dropping f bombs in response. Very classy of you. Lets not sit here and act like post were not deleted in the Abreu thread too. Lets not sit here and act like there weren't repeated request in the abreu thread to keep things positive. Its a shame this website could really be something special for loyal zips fans but unfortunately the people who run are egoistic control freaks. And what i said in my deleted post was honest and not negative. Waits for you to delete this post or drop another F Bomb.

Seriously how can you expect to gain members on this board if yall keep deleting people's post. This board is more strict than the beacon journal's board. if we cant express our feelings/poi9nt of view on here than why bother posting at all? Too much of a dictatorship going on ridiculous

good to hear

Th A-10 would be a better fit for Akron would travel be a pain? yes but shoot look at West Virginia who is playing their 1st season in the Big 12

UPS or FedEx still a federal offense Hopefully it stays on a State Level

In general If the drugs cross state lines or are placed in the US Mail, then it becomes a matter under federal jurisdiction. It should be a federal offense because the U.S. postal service was used to ship an illegal substance. The postal service is a federal entity. Yes, even if he is the receiver he can be charged with trafficking in illegal drugs and using the US Mail to further the criminal activity. There are multiple ways the charged could be filed though, depending upon the prosecutor. The crimes can be charged in either or both State and Federal courts.

If it was delievered in the mail hes also looking at federal charges

From Deadspin A search of the Akron Municipal Court records shows Abreu was charged today with two third-degree felonies of drug trafficking and drug abuse. In Ohio, third-degree marijuana trafficking is charged when the amount in question is between one and five kilograms. The third-degree felony charge of aggravated possession includes "a presumption for a prison term." http://deadspin.com/5989346/star-akron-gua...ficking-charges

@PhilTrexler: Police: K9 detected large package of pot being shipped to UA guard Alex Abreu and undercover cops delivered. Abreu accepted, then arrested I am crushed. Words can not describe how pissed i am

This makes my blood boil

At the rate they are going I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him a banner next to Bob Huggins smh

I agree its a slap in the face to former and current players The program should focus on having their own identity and not continuing to rely on Lebron James for one. I don't know about yall but I get tired of hearing the play by play announcers basically talk about Lebron and Keith Dambrot's relationship through out every national broadcast game. I wouldn't have a problem with the Lebron bobble head if there were others created before Lebron to honor players that actually played for UA.

Yesterday Akron posted this on their Facebook Page and its getting alot of mixed feedback Are people making a big deal out of nothing? The Akron Zips Men's Basketball Bobbleheads have arrived! The only place to get them is at the upcoming games on 1/26 vs. Buffalo (Lebron) and 2/16 vs. Bowling Green (Coach)! Only 1,500 sets were made, so don't miss out! http://www.facebook.com/AkronZips

doesn't surprise me at alli been called for the coaches head weeks ago

can't afford tressel

aahhhhh no Ricky Bobbys arch nemeses is not a good choice for a coach
