As KD mentioned in the article, it is much harder to come back quickly when you are 6-6 250. I have plenty of experience getting busted up...ankels, knees, legs, etc. I'm 6' 2'' 240 and can tell you that what KD says is absolutely true. A small guy can come back much faster. I'm hoping Wood can make a speedy recovery and contribute in the MAC Tourney and hopefully beyond, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Has anyone heard anything in regard to whether or not Larry Dawson has given a verbal to a school yet? I know we were interested in him at one point, but haven't heard a thing in several months. Are we still trying to recruit him?

I'm guessing we won't know anything for sure until NLOI day next week.

According to Rasor's blog he has a source claiming we have received a verbal from WR Deryn Bowser. Sounds like a big time WR that can really help us immediately! I hope this source is correct.6'3" 215 lbs 4.5 40

"After being his coach for the last four years, sometimes he can be frustrating," Cavs coach Gary Kellough said of Hitchens. "He'll have those games where he doesn't get going at all, then there will be ones like tonight. Nobody can play at this kind of level all the time, but this shows you what he's capable of."The above quote shows that he can be streaky, but with more coaching by KD I can really see him being a top player in the MAC in a few years.

Here are the teams I would like to have a potential matchup with in order of preference.Creighton (would love to get a shot to avenge the NIT loss from 06)DrakeGeorge MasonVCUWright StateNevadaDavidson

I totally agree GP1. I was thinking the same thing.

And why not contact WV, maybe Huggins will play us. They can play us at the JAR and everyone from WV can see his nice banner.

Coach D says he wants to get it down to a 9 man rotation though, so who will be left out I wonder?If Roberts and B. McKnight continue to gel and get better I would think that Conyers and C. McKnight would be the odd men out in a 9 man rotation. Possibly Milum instead of Conyers, but doubtful.

This game is sort of hard to gauge. Depending on how much KD tries to get Roberts and B McKnight into the game I can see this game being a high scoring game or a rather average scoring game while the two try to gel with the rest of the team and get playing time in the rotation. With that being said, I can still see us pulling away and winning big.Zips 83NC A&T 59

Sounds like we have a good shot at getting him. Since he switched positions in high school his senior year he has flown under the radar.

Now that the season is over, does anyone know exactly who was redshirted from our 07 recruiting class? The names I am thinking of, but I'm not positive about are:Aaron WilliamsShane SheadMiguel GrahamBrian BrikowskiZac KasparekJerome RoyalGary PrideMatt RogersSean FobbsDa'von MoorePaul SimkovichJake AndersonJoe RashDan RonsmanMarquinn DavisDan MarcouxMatt LittleCowles StewartIf this is right, we were able to redshirt most of the 2007 class which bodes well for us in the upcoming seasons! Please add or delete names if I missed anyone.

What is the score?

A nice article about one of the best players we've ever had at Akron.

Thanks ziptrumpet87. I missed that article somehow.

I heard a little blurb on the radio yesterday, I think it was on 1350. All I heard was that there is a possible stadium delay, maybe until March, due to lawsuits. I never heard anything else about it. Anyone else hear anything like this?

Sorry, but I had to laugh at how Miami lost.

Actually, KD coached at CMU in the 90's for a little while. He was doing fine there, but due to some locker room talk he lost his job. He is and will be a good coach for us for many years.

Are you sure this knucklehead was being serious? He sounds like a typical sarcastic ND fan to me.

Why can't the offense and defense both play well in the same game??? If one does well, the other does bad (usually the offense). If I see one more sideways pass or sideways run, especially with our third team RB this year I'm going to scream! Please find a QB for next season and please find an OC with some creativity.

It's nice to see Can't at the top of that list!

Ours looks the weakest?Of course I know these ratings don't really mean a whole lot, but our total number is one of the lowest also.

"Finally, I would like to see some UA blood brought back into this coaching staff. I'd also like to see a little more succession planning when it comes time to filling football coaching positions and I'd like to see the next AD be an Akron grad. Sounds like the beginning of a Zip's Christmas list."I agree with you UA1987.Can Dambrot coach football? Seriously, we need to find a UA Alum that has similar passion for the school and for producing a winning tradition!

I love the idea! I would just hope he could still remain the head basketball coach while being committed to all the other aspects of the athletic department.
