  1. Ok folks, here is the official poll to vote for the name: VOTE HERE You can vote for up to TWO selections.
  2. I'll be in to watch regardless...sounds fun.
  3. Well i'm glad I got my wish. Kaleb Korver is coming to town!
  4. This is unbelievable.
  5. I couldn't be less excited about Maine...though not many teams in this whole thing are very exciting. If I had to pick though, I'd take Creighton. I like playing them, plus isn't Kyle Korver's little brother on that team?
  6. MORE Mike Bardo! (1 point, 6 rebounds) MORE Josh Egner MORE shots by Zeke LESS Quincy Diggs turning the ball over. LESS turnovers in general. LESS of that asinine defense that leaves 3-point shooters open every possession.
  7. I'm sure many of have you have seen something, or at least heard about him in some way. But here is the latest update on Manhattan center Kevin Laue: Here are his stats too (5 rebounds/4 points at BGSU; and an amazing 6 points/3 offensive boards/2 blocks against Binghamton this season)
  8. Well yeah this is definitely a different situation (if even true). Also, this guy is a black coach saying these things to a black player. Unless they want to fire him anyways (possibility), then I doubt they will do anything. There's a double-standard with these things you know. By the way, I'd say about 75% of CMU fans don't like Ernie Zeigler. According to one poster on that forum, in his five years, he has not had one player play four straight years in his program. They are using that as an example of how grating he is.
  9. Why have they never visited there?! Maybe they will send Holly there now. Btw, their directory on the website doesn't mention Akron, just Canton. Well it also doesn't show Scranton i see...hmm.
  10. You don't see the LeBron signs anymore because of the idiots who would have vandalized them. The same idiots who, by their behavior, have created yet another round of embarrassing national publicity for Cleveland. Exactly...FOR CLEVELAND! Us Akronite's are smart! Not possessive. Good work!
  11. Actually sounds much worse. WOW...that is just ridiculous if it's true.

  13. I'm a hardcore fan and I like ROOligans. Well don't worry, it's still in the chase. And we have weeded out the ones that no one is crazy about and narrowed it to five names. I'm going to do an official poll really soon. And that will decide it...period! lol
  14. Oh don't worry, we still haven't decided. The big problem is, though around half of everyone likes "Rooligans", half of the people (1/4 overall) that don't like it, HATE IT. So I don't want a name that turns away the hardcore socccer fans, because those are the people that will make this group. So basically, taking a little longer to decide than expected.
  15. It may look that way at times because Zeke tends to overtly beat himself up on the court after every little incident he perceives as being an error on his part. I think he enjoys playing, but can't stand making mistakes. That attitude may make him more tense and wound up as the game goes on, which only leads to more errors. While some players might benefit from being a little more serious and less loose, Zeke is not one of them. I think Zeke would benefit by learning to quickly let loose of mistakes and adopt the attitude that he's going to make more great plays than mistakes, so the mistakes aren't worth distracting him from making a great play the next time the ball comes his way. After the game, Zeke can talk to the coaches about mistakes he made during the game and how he wants to learn to correct them during training and scrimmages. I agree completely about Zeke. It's much like hitting in baseball. If you beat yourself up every time you get out, you will be a stressed, mess of a person. And baseball is an extreme example because in baseball you can fail 70% of the time and still be a Hall of Famer. Keith Dambrot, being a baseball guy, should be able to help Zeke with such an example.
  16. I believe AreJay posted this on the facebook group (which is HERE btw. Feel free to join) "Porter, by definition, is someone who carries a load, burden or responsibility often on their back. A supporters' group should do just that, carry the team on its back. — "Porter's Army" is a nod to the definition, the coach and the club retaining the qualities he brings." I'm a HUGE fan of this. Btw a porter is also "One in charge of a gate or door." Which in our case, Akron is a revolving door to the pros, with Caleb being the porter.
  17. Amen... ...and as i've stated on before: I'd root for Hamas if they were playing the Steelers...and the flushes.
  18. 12-30 from three point range Only 12 free throws Zeke only took SIX shots B. McKnight took 15 shots, probably 12 of them just TERRIBLE We took 13 more shots and made four more field goals (We shouldn't lose with those numbers)
  19. I don't know about everyone else but the feed is so choppy it's ridiculous. And i have a pretty good rig here with road runner turbo. Also, how sad is it that every team we play has a way better pregame video and introductions graphics compared to us?
  20. Good article, but once again "What is it about Akron, and more specifically, Porter, that makes that small school a factory of top-flight soccer talent?". What the heck does the small school comment mean? It means the writer really knows very little about Akron. At the very least, I think he likely meant "less well known" school or something like that. But small school? That makes no sense. Yeah 30,000 students is "small" alright.
  21. Forgot to post this a few days ago but the Zips Hockey team lost both games this weekend. ASN LINK There is good news however, as this happened in game one: (He's a future Rooligan, no doubt)
  22. I honestly like "The Mob". Anyways, taking this all into consideration, tomorrow about 7 of us are going to make a decision. Don't hate us for it! and remember, the real important issue's are: "What Bar" & "What Beer"
