Calvin Jackson recommitted to Toledo today.

Tonight proved earlier than I expected that the MAC is going to be really weird this year. It is going to look a lot different than most people would have expected coming in to the year.

I have always thought that Hurley is a good coach, he just happens to also be one of the world's biggest man-childs.

Mr. Hurley seems to be keeping his reputation alive at ASU. Its a shame that we will not be able to see him freak out on Tuesday.

it was actually pretty weak. He just barely tipped the ball. It was still pretty unexpected though.

Really great response to the small Iona run there.

The MAC has released their all-conference teams and Akron has 5 players who make an appearance, highlighted by Jatavis Brown winning Defensive Player of the Year! Akron players that appear on the all-MAC teams: Jatavis Brown: 1st team and Defensive Player of the Year Cody Grice: 2nd team Isaiah Williams: 3rd team Jamal Marcus: 3rd team Rodney Coe: 3rd team The full list can be found here: http://www.mac-sports.com/news/2015/12/1/FB_1201152551.aspx

I got one!

My quick takes: 1) This game was,fairly called, but boy do I hate how many fouls all the refs are calling this year. 2) The Zips rebounding today was beyond atrocious. It looked like they didn't want the ball half of the time. 3) I might be in a minority, but I really am not a fan of Kwan on this team. I don't think there has even been a shot that he has taken that I thought was going in. 4) Josh might have been a big recruit and has a lot of promise, but he has looked lost on the court so far this year. Way too many turnovers and poor decisions. I think Ivey has been far and away better. 5) I love Antino. He has anchored this team with his energy and hits so many impossible shots. Even in this loss, I lost my breath a couple of times watching him play. I can't wait until he and Noah are roaming the court together again. Overall, this is a really bad loss. I firmly believe that the Zips are a much better team than W-GB. Hopefully we learn from it and hit out stretch of weak games with a vengeance!

To be fair, they have been questioning some of the fouls called on the Zips also

These refs sure do love calling fouls...

The only reasoning I can find for this 4th quarter is that Bowden secretly bet on Miami to cover the spread.

gozips.com has a link to the Can't state website for a video stream. I'm pretty sure that it will be free as well.

I'm pretty happy with a #7 ranking. I don't think we could have expected much higher. I personally am pretty surprised that he is ranked above Nathan Boothe, who was #8 yesterday. They are pretty similar, but Boothe has always seemed to have more hype from around the conference to me.

MAC Preseason Poll picks Akron to win the MAC East and come in second in the MAC tournament. Pat is also on the preseason all-MAC East team.

Hustle Belt has started their top 25 MAC player list and a familiar name checks in at #25: Reggie McAdams

If Woodson doesn't start next week, Bowden has completely lost his mind.

Wow! What a run!

No.

Shawn just won gold at the IAAF World Championships with a vault of 5.90m!

If you are only interested in musical acts, I saw Bastille perform at EJ last fall. They are widely known as one of the top current indie rock groups in the world. This performance, along with the Rock the Roo series that happens each fall at EJ, had a very large amount of current UA students.

I agree. Every time I tried to get ZipTix there was always a line out the door of students/faculty waiting to get their tickets. I've never seen a big line outside of Infocision.

I disagree completely with you. As a current student, EJ has been THE defining building for my experience as a student. The Ziptix program that gave free tickets to students has afforded me many opportunities to attend a variety of programs that I would have never been able to attend otherwise.

Shawn Barber just became the first 3 time NCAA Champ in UA history!!

That format is an interesting idea, but I am not at all a fan of teams playing each other twice in the regular season. The single game format for rivals is what I like most about college football. If you lose to your rival, you have to sit through a whole year before you can get another shot at them. It makes the games have even more of a meaning.
