Somewhere between playing in an NBA arena and SVSM is a better idea than what Duquesne is doing. It's all so stupid. Maybe Santa will bring the Duquesne AD and ounce of creativity for Christmas. It's the Dambrot-Dru-SVSM connection. If they wish to do something for their alma mater good for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not schedule a home/home with the Zips in the future? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 1) am an SVSM and UA alum; 2) enjoy D1 basketball; and 3) like free things. It's also fun to see it up close in the smaller setting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 After starting the season 0-6 Dru seems to have righted the ship, winning 7 of his last 10. The Dukes presently sit at 7-9, good for 3rd place in the A-10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru seemed to be in command and the kids seemed engaged. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had one hell of a turnaround. Happy for Dru. One of the most genuine people I've met in my lifetime. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Pounded a 15-3 St Bonaventure squad by 18 today. Dru and the Dukes are rolling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Now is the time to schedule a home and home with the Dukes while both teams are winning instead of the weak teams we brought into the JAR this year. We could have a reunion of his old team or put his jersey in the rafters. Anything to bring the Dukes to Akron. We should have a solid veteran team next year so no excuses why we should not play the Dukes. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe mean something to the folks who remember that team but it's going on 20 years now. Groce and the current staff have minimal connection, if any, with that team.

clarkwgriswold Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 If nothing else it could put some butts in seats from the SVSM and UA people with a connection to the Joyce family. Duquesne brought a few people to the game at SVSM and there was a contingent of Joyce family and friends. Maybe not the gate buster of Ohio Wesleyan or SUNY Brockport but a larger visitor contingent than we are used to seeing. Seems like something Keith could facilitate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Akron would schedule a home and home in a heart beat if Duquesne had interest. The reality is A10 schools view the MAC as inferior and aren't interested in "scheduling down". Even if it's not true. Outside of Buffalo-St. Bonaventure you rarely see A10 schools play at MAC arenas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 (edited) I heard this year's team is pretty good. 5-0 or something in the MAC. I guess it would be fun for Groce and Ford and Co to have a big contingent of those St V people, who are apparently awaiting Dru or KDs return, and all their supporters cheering on the Dukes.

Probably not nearly as much fun as bringing in the huge Ohio Wesleyan and SUNY Brockport contingents. I trust Groce when he says Dustin works hard to put together the schedule. If Duquesne was a possibility, I suspect it would have already happened, but it would be nice to see it happen if possible.
