zippy5 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 @zippy5, I think if you go back and look at the context of the discussion, you'll see that it's entirely appropriate to compare the playing time of the two best shot blockers currently in the MAC after ZachTheZip made his comment about Holmes' PT. Of course it can't be an absolutely direct comparison as Holmes played long minutes as a freshman star player on his JC team while Zeke spent a lot of time on the bench as a freshman with the D-I Zips, and Holmes is playing shorter minutes in his second college season but first at the D-I level, while Zeke didn't average that many more minutes in his second college season at the D-I level. But enough of this hair splitting. I'm off to see with my own eyes how much air Holmes sucks tonight. Sure, if we were only comparing blocked shots. Quote
GoZips88 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Just spent a few minutes talking to former UA center and alum Steve Swiech. Still an outstanding individual who still has a place in his heart for Akron. In town the last couple of days for the Alumni Night tonight. Finishing up his last semester of air traffic controller school and is top in his class. Fiscal cliff could hit the FAA budget pretty hard but he isn't worrying about that right now. Always good to see him here - will always be an Akron Zip! Women looked really good in taking down Ball State tonight. Quote
Gcc Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Am I the only person hearing the band on the Live Feed!? Quote
GoZips88 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 As Joe Dunn just said on the radio, another HUGE crowd and could be bigger than the OU game. Great atmosphere and the guys seem to be caught up in it at the moment. Go Zips! Quote
zippy5 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Am I the only person hearing the band on the Live Feed!? Yeah that was annoying. It's off now Quote
akzipper Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Am I the only person hearing the band on the Live Feed!? I had some Jazz music for the first 3 minutes of the game...but fuzzy play-by-play now Our shooting is WAY off tonight WOW Quote
Gcc Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I had some Jazz music for the first 3 minutes of the game...but fuzzy play-by-play now Our shooting is WAY off tonight WOW Same here. Glad everything is on tv moving forward!!!! Quote
bUAkronG Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 how hard can it be to have good audio? this buzzing is unacceptable. Quote
tpsjugglerdude Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I think I miss the weird music... Quote
zippy5 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I'm pretending it's just crowd noise. Heck of a start for our Zips. Quote
bUAkronG Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Listening to Frenchy calling the game 30 seconds behind using my phone is more appealing than this. Zips with some nice play and now KD brings the bench in... lets see how it works. Quote
akzipper Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I have the radio stream playing instead. It's not timed perfect but maybe only a few seconds late and very clear. Zips need to dedicate an entire week of practice to free throw shooting...fundamentals guys!! Quote
zippy5 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I like that we're guarding Crawford with some long bodies. Quote
Ando Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 as a dude who doesn't know stuff about basketball: Since BG are playing man, and don't have a deep bench they're only gonna start playing worse than they are now when it's late in the game when they're tired, yeah? Quote
akronzips71 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 What a strange team. We look just awful on offense, but lucky for us so does BG. Then we wake up and just totally dominate and take over the game. Quote
Big Zip Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 George Thomas said it looks like a sell out and they crowd is salty with the refs. Quote
cms133@uakron.edu Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 How's the attendance? Impressive Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 George Thomas said it looks like a sell out and they crowd is salty with the refs. Awesome! I'm a season ticket holder but have to miss many games due to taking care of my grandfather. I really appreciate the games being streamed online. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Less Deji & more Chauncey, please. Quote
Big Zip Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Absolutely brutal shooting. Guys not getting close enough to hoop on the inside and the outside guys are just bad. Quote
akronzips71 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Less Deji & more Chauncey, please. I don't know about Chauncey but NO Deji. Quote
akzipper Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Seriously this should be more than a 6 point game. Sorry but we should have knocked them out of the game 10 minutes ago. Quote
akronzips71 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 UGLIEST 17 point win I ever saw. I'LL TAKE IT!!!!!! Quote
Dr Z Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I like the cover. BG is as bad as advertised. One of these days Akron is going to have to play to their potential. Cupcake tour '13 continues... Quote
