Dave in Green Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Aha! Sounds like someone was making a defensive maneuver to avoid someone from another school reading your joking comment and reporting it as something serious. Could have even been a UA employee reading the forum who did it. Of course, nothing would have come out of it as nothing wrong has been done. But it could have been a pain filling out the paperwork.Welcome back, GameChngr44! Never lose your sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Districtballer Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Charlie and the RedHawks have a bit of trouble with Steve Swiech and the Cal Vulcans.The Vulcans are a team to follow early on. not just because of Sweich, but because they play two of our opponents in the pre-season. It will be interesting to compare this game to how they do against VCU.Nice to see that we'll be playing a decent squad. I'll let you know how Swiech looks when they come in. He scored 8 points and 4 rebounds on 4-8 shooting in 27 minutes before fouling out last night. Here's the box score from the game: http://www.muredhawks.com/sports/m-baskbl/...012/103111.htmlAnother fun fact. Cal U's leading scorer Quentin Harding hails from none other than McKeesport, Pa. and went to McKeesport just like Zips front-liner Zeke Marshall. It stands to reason that they must have been teammates in high school.A couple of Akron connections on this squad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad everything is cleared up. It takes a special player-parent to participate on a message board like ours. I can only count a handful that have really embraced the site in all the years we'd run it. You've been here even prior to Zeke's commitment, and that's really cool. Thank you.

johnnyzip84 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm beginning to become more convinced that playing D-3 schools in these exhibitions is smarter than playing a D-2 school. It'll be interesting to see how Butler does this year after losing all of that experience from the last 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinZip Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Game is streaming @ http://mac-sports.com/Schools/Akron/LiveStreaming.aspxStarters for Akron are: Nik Cvetinovic Q Zeke Marshall Alex Abreu Brett McClanahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinZip Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 4 minutes into the game and Akron's up 10-0. Lackluster start with some sloppy play on both sides. Nik hit a 3 early which was pretty nice.Still quite a bit to polish up before the game is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinZip Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 41-25 Akron @ the halfWith all of the turnovers, a better team playing Akron would have the score reversed.I saw some nice play from the more experienced players, but the new guys didn't quite seem to have it together yet.

akzipper Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Like I've said, this team is not as good as people on here like to pretend it is. They'll be playing .500 basketball at mid season and you'll be calling for KD's job. I'd like to see them succeed more than anyone, but having these unrealistically high expectations is not a good idea. Of course you'd give the "It's too early to judge" comments but oh well.Also very disappointed in the new uniformsGreat job on the MAC-Sports.com video feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
