I just read that g league players make $40,000 a year unless they are on a 2 way contract like Freeman who makes around $500,000, half the NBA minimum. Therefore, Nate is now making the most money he will probably ever make in his career. In other words, his salary will peak as a college player. I hate that he transferred but I cannot blame him for making this move. This is college athletics. Akron is the G league for major conferences.

I got the impression that when Johnson came into the game as the 3rd QB at the end of the game that he was told to run the ball since we had a big lead and just run out the clock. He then threw a pass and we almost scored. He was immediately yanked so Brookhart could run out the clock. At the end of the game I saw Moorehead go to the Mass coach and it looked like he was apologizing for the pass at the end of the game. These are my impressions but I just cannot see the coach throwing the ball at that point in the game.

offensive genius!!!

Our offense was much better in the 2nd half in that we penetrated, shot the 3 ball well, and had some nice follow up baskets. Lyles had a great game. He has really improved the last 2 years at Akron.

IN the 2nd half Tevari has taken to the hoop and scored. Great penetration. Hardman has improved his defense but he cannot hit the broadside of the barn tonight. Just missed a wide open 3 and it was not even close. Great defense by the Zips but we need somebody to hit an open 3.

Our guard play on offense has not been very impressive. The guards have not been able to penetrate or get open looks. We have missed a lot of open threes. Bad shooting with little penetration gets you bad offense. We need better ball movement and better shooting.

My understanding is that he can be called up at any time. I am sure if one of the Timberwolves bigs suffers an injury he can be added to the roster. The Iowa Wolves are probably starting their practice this week and the season opens I believe on the 8th. It will be interesting how much he has improved as a 2nd year pro.

I never thought after the ending in the first half we would win this game. One of the best games I have watched. We beat an undefeated team on the road. When is the last time a Zips fan has said that.

Great call but you were off on the score. We won by 8.

A net 13 yard punt. Why not go for it or 4th and 4. If they get the first down they come close to sealing the game.

Zips call a timeout and then run the same running play they have called all game. Very conservative call. Would have been nice to get a first down and burn some clock.

Run Finley Run. Watch Finley Run. Touchdown Finley. And who made fun of Finley sprinting to the locker room at halftime. He was just warming up. With that said, I still think Akron can lose this game but I hope I am wrong.

Finley handled the blitz and the receiver made a great play on the ball. Could the Capt be right and this is the game we finish on the road?

Each week we are so bad. All we had to do was hand the ball off and not fumble. Could not even do that.

Have we seen this before: 3rd and 3 from the 13 and a holding sets up back to the 23 and now a sack sets us back to the 33. Did not anyone expect an all out blitz and Finley looks like a deer in the headlights when it comes.
