  1. Talk to him anyhow. His perspective can help.
  2. Freeman is going to have a lot to think about in the coming months. I'm not an NBA expert, but I do know it's extremely hard to make and the talent level is the best in my lifetime. In my opinion, Freeman is not an NBA player. He was advised to stay another year to improve his talent level, but I'm not sure he improved enough for the NBA. With that said, I think he could have a great future in professional basketball and should talk to a lot of people to understand how. I'm hoping he spends some time with former Zip Jammal Ball to discuss his professional options. Ball had a long career in mostly France for 14 years, Germany for two, and Kosovo for one. I'd rather spend 14 years in France than some NBA D League Hell hole of a city for a couple with little opportunity for the NBA. He could make more money in Europe. https://gozips.com/honors/hall-of-fame/jimmal-ball/15 From the looks of Ball's background, he is invested in helping young people at the University find their way through school and open up opportunities for the future. Talk to him Enrique...be prepared and come with good questions. Be open minded. It's a big world with a lot of opportunities for people like you. You are a massive success already and your just getting started.
  3. Getting back to the Zips.... Bad loss anyway you slice it. They didn't complete nearly as well as they did against UCLA last time. Disappointing.
  4. KD is a Zip and he had success. I'm happy for two of our alumni as Dru is part of his team also. This is a good thing.
  5. Alabama should have saved all the money they have spent on football by cutting their football program after their first national championship in 1925.
  6. My personal experiences with him have been very positive. Has he made mistakes? Yes, but they aren't front page disasters as in the past. His mistakes are very low key to the point the local media cannot even blow them out of proportion. I see a President who is using social media to stay in contact with students, alumni and the general NE Ohio community. I see him engaged with alumni at mixers around the country. I see the dorms are full. I believe athletics as a whole are progressing nicely. I'd hire a new Akron graduate if I needed someone. I believe the faculty is strong. It all points in the right direction.
  7. When was that chance? At the time the stadium was built, the football program was relatively successful and looked to have turned a corner after a mac championship.
  8. The last time the MAC had a coach as good as him was when HE was at OU.
  9. Kent You suck
  10. If it's an early game I'll be able to watch on AAinfligh. Good.
  11. Good weekend for current and past Zips.
  12. Have fun tonight. Worry tomorrow.
  13. Every kid fantasize about making a foul shot to win a big game. Tribble lived the dream tonight. Good for him!
  14. Dear Kent State Graduates, You are the diarrhea stuck to the bottom of a toilet seat at gas station. Sincerely, The Great GP1
  15. Celebrate winning!
  16. Dear Kent State, Your women carry the only form of gonohioria penicillin can't cure. Sincerely, The Great GP1
  17. Dear Kent State, You suck. Sincerely, The Great GP1
  18. I said earlier this week that I wouldn't hire a Kent grad to scrub the skid marks out of my toilet. I take that back. I wouldn't hire a Kent grad to scrub the skid marks out of an interstate rest area on interstate 77. Losers.
  19. What's the temperature? Everyone feeling confident? I am.
  20. Kent is a joke of a university. I wouldn't hire one of their graduates to scrub the skid marks out of my toilet.
  21. I agree. The City of Akron is much better now than when I lived there 16 years ago. It's good to live in a city at some point in your life even if it's only for 4 years.
  22. I agree. If someone wants a Kent experience, go to Kent. Want an Akron experience, go to Akron.
  23. I was at an alumni event in recently and Dr. Miller said all dorms were full.
  24. When I say they aren't trying to win, I mean it.
  25. That makes one of us.
