For the ZN.O members who don't have the time to track the portal for basketball. Not much can happen right now except for 2 days between April 7th and 9th. "We are currently in the middle of the March 30-April 6 dead period, only to be followed by an April 10-13 dead period. A recruiting dead period is when college coaches are not permitted to have any in-person contact with recruits and/or their parents."

Let's apply your logic to MAC football. "If the conference is only as good as its worst teams" Then the league sucks primarily due to decades of futility at Akron. If entirely based upon football, every other MAC school President would excise Akron.

Congratulations to the Swimming and Diving team. Most successful team on campus. 2nd straight MAC title 9th title in the last 10 years. It's now on to the NCAA Div. 1 competition.

He has to be in heaven getting productive minutes on a 6-12 conf team playing against a 3-14 team. Highlight of his career.

I'll never delete this URL....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bMGXC1AcWA#t=15 I must watch for Akron fans that are to young to remember Nate Linhart. Note who is the assistant coach on the bench. Also note who is the KSU head coach.

Hilltopper has spent so much time in Cancun recently that I assume he is applying for Mexican citizenship.

Even at the game the stats were screwed up.

Probably not going to the Bahamas for a holiday tourney in 2023. A more likely location is the Thanksgiving Cancun tourney. The 2022 event was hosted at the Hard Rock Riviera Mayan.

The game will be played in Buffalo. Details will be announced by MAC office shortly

Why have income if you don't dispose of it? Team left today. I'll be there tomorrow.

I travel to Grand Cayman on Sunday. I heard that this year the number of fans and team family members taking the trip is down significantly from our last trip to this tournament. Any one else on ZN.O making the trip?

I loaded the Barstool App from the Amazon App store onto my Amazon Firestick. Excellent video and audio on Toledo game.

My wife and I each ordered Enrique Freeman t-shirts today. Show your love for Enrique's efforts by ordering your own t-shirt, crew neck sweat shirt or hoodie. Logos of Enrique on front and back. Order at https://store.barstoolsports.com/collections/enrique-freeman

"Had" - Yes. "Has" don't know. Speculation on their fan form is that he is injured, will not play and has not been practicing..

I wonder if Butler figured out a way to make him eligible. Placing him on the roster and getting him academically eligible are two different issues. Let's see if he plays this next week.

I'm glad the Knight Foundation is making the investment and not the tax payers. I'm betting it will be renamed Knight Hall.

So when will Akron stop sowing crabgrass!

Obviously you have a negative view of UVU and the WAC. I think UVU was a great choice for both Olojapoke and Bandaogo. Much more diverse student body at a much larger university than Akron. One of the fastest growing universities in America. Campus buildings and athletic facilities are newer than UA and located in one of the fastest growing states in our country. Good luck to Aziz for future success.
