Just watched Miami try to give away a double digit lead and Ohio refuse to accept the gift.

I don't blame him for trying to motivate the administration. I'm just not a fan of the analogy to what are for all intents and purposes the "evil empires" of MLB who win in large part because of their superior budgets.

It just all sounds like a strange unhinged rant. PCCC doesn't have an alum who will step up and help their head football coach to avoid embarrassing the school. It's unlikely anyone is kicking into the NIL pot. Oddly, their sports forum is down today. Maybe it's imploding like their mens athletic program.

Highlights from the Mr. Pinky whinefest for those unable to access the Ohio.com article: "When I watch them, to me, I equate it to Major League Baseball," Senderoff said. "This is something that maybe people don't quite understand. They are right now in this conference, like when I grew up it was the New York Yankees or nowadays like the Los Angeles Dodgers." "They have great players. They get in what's free agency. They get the best free agents in our league. They have an unbelievable coach who does a great job. I refer to John Groce as like Joe Torre. He is a great coach. They are undefeated. "The free agents they get, they develop their returning players, they got Joe Torre as the head coach and you are just sitting there saying I am trying my best to compete and right now my team, we did not play great tonight," Senderoff said. "I gotta credit Akron for that to some degree. They played really well." Free agents? Dodgers? Yankees? Those are clearly criticisms and/or jealousy of Akron's NIL status. Unfortunately, Senderoff doesn't recognize that PCCC exists on a level playing field to UA. It's not the Dodgers and Guardians. The only difference is that Groce's approach and success attracts top talent and has gained the loyalty of alums and fans.

The Cardinals of Ball State come in to the JAR Tuesday night to face the Zips. Going into Buffalo today the Cards stand at 9-11, 3-5 in the MAC. Jermahri Hill, a 6’5” junior guard, leads the Cardinals at 16.2 ppg, while also contributing 5 rpg. 6’10” senior center Payton Sparks is back with the Cardinals after his venture at Indiana and is second in scoring at 12.1 ppg while leading the team in rebounds at 7.8 rpg. Sparks doesn’t see to have developed much since his outstanding freshman season when he was MAC Freshman of the Year and averaged 13.5 ppg and 8.5 rpg. He is still one of the top MAC big men and will be a challenge for Okonkwo and Lyles.

Yep, they do everything but play the Beach Boys "Be True to Your School" in the background.

Senderoff's comments in the Ohio.com article were a little odd and clearly a veiled whine about Akron's NIL advantage. What a whiney puke. How about we revisit actual NCAA recruiting violations like your inability to master the recruiting calendar and making it easily provable through phone records.

He was sick. He gets a reprieve!

Good enough to hang on, not good enough to move on, too good to can...the Mr. Pinky curse.

I'm going to start selling subscriptions! Lead pipe cinch winners at ClarkieBets.com!

Seth Wilson with great D tonight with the primary responsibility on Davis, per Groce.

A Tavari three and an Evan Wilson appearance. Two daggers!!

Evan Wilson waiting to come in. We need a dead ball.

Great job by the Zips on Davis tonight.

Deliberate but good possessions from here on out.

PCCC fans leaving to get home before their house arrest bracelets report them as out.

I love how the Zips have responded every time PCCC has made a run so far tonight.

Is the clock broken??? This feels like it is taking forever!

Some bad transition defense there. Now shake it off and finish strong. They're going to have to come back with threes so lock down the perimeter defense.

C'mon Nate, dunk that ball or make those free throws!

Okonkwo playing with a lot of fire for a guy who doesn't have experience in the rivalry.

I so want them to come out and "step on their necks" but it's never just that easy.

A couple of months in a conservative Christian school is apparently bad for your game.

Young showing who's the best freshman in the MAC. Bud Wentz seeing a future requiring deeper pockets.

How about "Pink Vomit."
