I think when they finally put Ford on the online roster his bio should read "was a team manager who worked his way on to the team." That's a hell of a lot more impressive than any accolades and honors they could post.

I don't think he ever would have. He, for some reason, was just not a good fit.

Good for the Ford kid. By a little hard work and effort he is now contributing more than a player who was an ACC recruit. The kid was 2 time Ashtabula County Player of the Year.

The Zips host Stan Heath and his 7-9 Ypsilanti Eagles Saturday night at the JAR. EMU is 2-3 in the MAC having beaten Western and Central and losing to Ball State, NIU and PCCC. They were predicted to finish 11th in the MAC, placing no one on the All-MAC teams. They are eighth in the MAC in points per game and points surrendered. Noah Farakhan leads the Eagles at 16.2 ppg. I trust that no one will miss Rob Murphy and that 2-3 zone.

Evan Wilson! With an assist! And a basket by Ford? He's not even on the online roster.

I certainly did not see this coming after the PCCC and WMU performances.

I'm glad someone has figured out this team! I like the Zips chances if they can keep making 50% of their threes.

The announcers are so perplexed they're comparing the hair of Freeman and Reese. They've also educated me that being 7 feet tall is helpful down low. Hmm, who'd have thunk it.

Wheeling?

I think Trimble is having fun.

Clarke in the huddle.

Given the nature of the collision I wonder of it is a concussion.

A strong first half. I'd forgotten what that looked like.

Feels like Diggs and Plowden are in their 7th or 8th years with the Falcons. Former PCCC player Gabe O'Neal looking like he's on the Bam Bowman Nutrition Program.

C'mon Zips, finish the half strong so we can say we had one strong first half this MAC season!

The name "Myron Gordon" sounds like the name of a fat kid in grade school that eats paste and picks his nose.

Hope he keeps taking his time and squaring up.

Stroh with a JAR like crowd tonight.

Another $h!++y start!

"Obnoxious" was a little strong. LOL. My intention was to point out the disparity in unis from the blandness of Penn State to the colorful nature of Oregon. Maryland, with its connection to Under Armor, has also been pretty creative.

BGSU- 82, UA- 79. Akron gets behind, makes a run, then BG wins the last 3-4 minutes. Curious to see former Ohio Mr. Basketball Samari Curtis. He started at Nebraska then went to Evansville and is now at BG. Looking at the BG's box scores he's had some big games and some games where he has disappeared. Hopefully, the Zips will be able to keep him from getting on track.

If they win in it, I could adjust to something as bland as Penn State or as obnoxious as Oregon.

Amused by the varying standards of "hatin'".

One more. My favorite part is the sub-headline- "The Zips Need a Strong Voices." Yikes ABJ/GT. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2022/01/19/university-akron-mens-basketball-team-should-learn-close-win/6562346001/
