    I don't know that it is as talented on the top end, but it is the deepest.

    Is Dambrot perfect? No. Is he the most successful basketball coach in the last 30 years of Akron basketball? Absolutely. If he did not have that elephant skeleton in his closet, he would have moved on to a larger program long ago. Sometimes, players just suck and there's nothing you can do as a coach to fix it. They are human beings and sometimes they have off nights and no matter what you do with rotations and substitutions, nothing works. This is a young team that lost its best player. The teased us with some big wins, but as a young team with average talent, they are going to be inconsistent.

    And the hits just keep coming. He's a class kid. I wish him well. I guess now we use the time to rush Antino and Malcolm's growth. Certainly, we are in a better position now than we were when Abreu lost his mind.

    I was unable to make tonight's game. Thank goodness. Looking at the box score, it appears that it must have painful to watch. I expected much more of Jake and Reggie this year. I love that they are good kids and students, but their lack of production is becoming most frustrating.

    I just spoke to the game day staff and they are going to move chuck a duck to 10 minutes before the game and allow the winner to sing the Anthem.

    Ohio.com had an ad for a game two days after it had been played.

    Exactly. Last week, the Seton School choir sang the Anthem. There had to be 25 kids in that choir, all from the Hudson area. I'll bet between the parents, grandparents, and siblings, there had to have been at least another 50 to 75 tickets sold.

    I would love to find a video of the second one too. That was pretty special.

    It is ridiculous that a person or group would provide the service of singing the National Anthem and you would require them to pay for tickets. The last I checked, there were plenty of empty seats. Even in a pinch, I am pretty sure the University has a Music Department that might just have a person or two that could sing it.

    As far as game day experience, do you think they could find 20 people/groups a year to sing the National Anthem? The taped anthem needs to go.

    I noticed the same thing with Walters waiting at the scorer's table than the media timeout being called, and I figured that would give Antino the break he needed. Not to sound like the old man I am, but I don't remember players ever asking out back in the day. I really like Walters, but his biggest challenge is going to be to develop a consistent shot. Right now, it is questionable even in warmups. With minutes under him, that will be exposed.

    Grrrrrrrrrrr... That was frustrating. No shame in losing to Toledo as they are a fine team. Just sooooooo many missed chances.

    Painting with a little bit of a broad stroke, aren't you?

    Oh Lord, maybe we lost a doubleheader.
  15. clarkwgriswold
    Could someone please explain the TeamOhio thing for the newbies.

    In honor of some of the footwear I've seen recently on the feet of Noah, Diji and some of the players, I think we are up for an "Ugly Shoes Night." No promotion will ever beat the St. Paul Saints "Larry Craig Bobblefoot NIght."

    Kwan will be fine. He is being a..................sophomore. That involves growing pains.
  18. clarkwgriswold
    I was going on the fact that the upper south stands emptied out at half when the kids were on the floor. Keep bringing those kids back!

    I don't mind the band until they delay the game. They may be the only thing that gives a stranger any clue that it is a UA home game, given the fans' lack of enthusiasm. The number of students last night was encouraging until you realized a significant portion of them were members of the other teams there for recognition for being on the Dean's List.
  20. clarkwgriswold
    Evans defends harder than anyone on the team. I like him just for his effort. Kwan seems to have lost all confidence and it is really showing. I think everyone in the JAR let out a collective gasp when Pat took the three.
  21. clarkwgriswold
    I looked him up during warmups and he is on his 3rd college team- Rhode Island, Indiana of Pennsylvania and now Can't State. The image of him at the end of the bench sitting next to the 5-9 guard was priceless.
  22. clarkwgriswold
    Well, for a 6-11 guy he's OK, but I don't think any of us would like a regular diet of Forsythe jumpers.
  23. clarkwgriswold
    Pat has a nice short to mid range jumper, but holy smokes does he miss a lot of shots in close! I;ve never seen so many shots ring out on a player. His foul shooting is making me a little crazy too, especially with Dambrot having him in late in games.
  24. clarkwgriswold
    Nice win. Probably the most entertaining home game this year. We HAVE to start making free throws. Also, we need to get Pat Forsythe out of the game on offense late. His foul shooting is a real liability. I've never seen a player miss more shots inside of 3 feet than Forsythe.

    I've always wished for more area kids. I think it would increase interest and put butts in the seats. In the final analysis though, nothing puts butts in the seats like winning. Hopefully, this class brings some wins.
