  1. Adam Schefter...Kirk Herbstreit...Adrian Wojnarowski...Jay Bilas...Baseball Dad...
  2. Yep, replacing them with P5 in conference. I can also see independents Notre Dame and BYU filling their schedules and filling out P5 conference schedules by essentially joining a P5 conference for football (e.g. ND playing an all ACC schedule).
  3. This is another step in the separation of the P5 schools from the rest of the NCAA.
  4. You don't get your NCAA Basketball Tourney money and now you won't get your victim's assistance compensation for getting peeled by a P5 team. It gets uglier by the day. That Clemson money is swirling in the bowl as we speak.
  5. Made me think of this hilarious old SNL skit. It may be 72 in training-
  6. To clarify, that would be sold tickets not actual attendance. By actual butts in seats, Stanford squash as well as lightweight rowing would compete with Akron football.
  7. Can't like this one enough. People are acting like asking them to wear a damn one ounce mask is akin to being asked to wear a 50 pound ball and chain. We are a country of such little discipline and commitment.
  8. Losing squash, lightweight rowing and synchronized swimming would indeed be heartbreaking. Just think of the TV and tournament money they'll be losing.
  9. You are hereby sentenced to watching a game from the upper level through the glass railing for the entire 2020-21 season.
  10. Basketball season can't get here fast enough.
  11. Here's the Beacon article about the union's statement- https://www.beaconjournal.com/news/20200706/university-of-akron-administration-faculty-spar-over-athletics-budget Sigh.
  12. I like it, but it appears we've found a place with defense equal to that played in the Akron Canton Pro-Am League! I hope there's a lot of free throw shooting that didn't make the highlight tape.
  13. Those kids will all be cleared by August. I think the reality is that some coaches are hoping for their kids to get it quickly so that they can be cleared before real training starts. They're assuming that getting it makes you immune to it.
  14. Let's hope his QB's are more accurate than that one when he's running uncovered!
  15. From the old news desk, Clayton Murphy is still unhappy and Marla Ridenour is about a month behind- https://www.beaconjournal.com/sports/20200630/olympian-clayton-murphy-says-uarsquos-handling-of-eliminated-sports-damaged-reputation-relationship-with-donors
  16. I'm hearing that the staff received an email today warning them of 20% staff cuts on July 15th.
  17. There have been recent games where we could enforce the 6 foot limit and still not use any of the upper bowl.
  18. Are you guessing at their intra-squad scrimmage record?
  19. The Zips recruiting footprint is huge. The recruiting director at Hiram is concerned.
  20. I think you guys are going to love Dailey, on and off the floor.
  21. I'll take very ACC and Big 10 "failure" the Zips can get. If you can get recruited into one of those schools, the reality is that you are well above the curve of the average MAC talent. Keep them coming.
  22. Let's hope that translates to the OOC schedule. Teams like Concord, South Carolina Upstate and Southern are more like Silly Putty than steel.
  23. Me neither and the Zips email didn't have a link.
  24. The weekly Zips email today proudly informed me that according to the Lindy's Pre-Season All MAC Team, the Zips possess a first team center, a second team safety and a second team returner. I hope in the final analysis, the Zips have better talent than just the best center, second best returner and 3rd or 4th best safety or is could be another long season.
  25. The Zips got a seven footer! I thought you'd be out celebrating!
