One division makes sense for basketball. I'm all for it in basketball. We have an end of season tournamement which is based on both divisions playing one another with no consideration of division. In football the divisions matter because the top of the east plays the top of the west. So winning an East division title or a West division title means something in football, but really doesn't mean much in basketball.

Awesome Balki!!

Boyages indicates that currently the MAC is in regular contact with the NCAA Tournament Selection committee. "We have a primary and secondary contact from the NCAA Selection Committee that is assigned to our conference," he explains. "We are in constant communication with them with conference calls, we update them personally and notify them of good wins or close losses to top teams and we encourage them to attend our games in person." That is my favorite part of the article. Sounds like they need to push these "primary and secondary contacts" a lot harder because whatever they are saying to them now obviously isn't working!

It sure makes the excitement of beating Can't 3 times in one season wasted.

Unfortunately the ones who Do like us Don't matter!

...and please cut down on the turnovers. We have been sloppy lately.

The other key is to flat out be more physical than Can't. Wood is a true enforcer. Is it just me or have you noticed that he is starting to become the leader of this team? That's good news because Wood will be "the man" next year.

I know where you're coming from zen. I've had the same things, plus broken bones. Playing through it has a lot to do with what tendons or bones are affected, how severe the injury is and what is on the line at the time. Make no mistake, Dials and Linhart will not be at 100%, but I believe they can still play.

I know, we're playing Can't... what's your point ? at least Tiffin doesn't suck !

Hey IflushedU. When's the last time Can't beat Akron in basketball?

We won't lose tonight. Mark it down.

We're not playing Tiffin here. Everything is on the line from here on out and there is plenty of off-season coming up to rest any ankles, thumbs or whatever! Everyone will be playing if we truely want to become

Ankle sprain, shmankle sprain. He will play.

I'm with you sgm405 and K-Roo.As long as they are talking about "Akron" it's all good!

We shut down Watson, we stop CMU.Akron 81 CMU 64

I see that Charlie Coles from Miami (OH) is on the coaches panel. Could it be that he didn't vote for us anymore after they beat us?

Hopefully Swiech and Steward will be solid top performing starters for the 2008 season. That would give us 3 well established starters (including Linhart) and Brett McKnight as well. It will be critical that we have a solid recruiting class next year.

Does anyone find this surprising? Can't seems to have a lot of rejects and trouble makers.

Blue&Gold observered: "I would say he is definitely a long shot for a WR position on our football team. That's one of our deepest positions."Actually his odds of making the football team as a wide receiver are better than his odds of becoming an FBI agent with a Criminal Justice degree (apologies to Trimmy10, I know it should be a degree in Criminal Justice).

Is this really Emeka's brother? I would say he is definitely a long shot for a WR position on our football team. That's one of our deepest positions. I wonder why he didn't mention trying to play for our basketball team.

"I dont care what anyone says, I stand behind John Rybak as a basketball player..."

WTF. They are still playing at Western Michigan, but made us change the original schedule and play at Indiana! BS!

It's too bad that their basketball program is staying in the A10 though. I would like to have them in the MAC also. They have been a much better basketball program than football.

The Vindicator will probably have us as an underdog since Youngstown thinks it's part of Pittsburgh.

I think we look flat. Players seem to be going through the motions currently with the exception of Romeo and I don't think we have any momentum right now. I think we had a lot of momentum until the Toledo loss and since then we've been up and down.
