Blue & Gold Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 This was just posted & I haven't read the article yet (and I'm on my way out the door). But it's good to see a human interest article on Enrique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 You know, every time someone posts a title like: LCJ or ENRIQUE FREEMAN All I can think of is he entered the transfer portal, got hurt, got expelled and so on. Can you just do a better title that won't give me a heart attack? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ignored the game and multiple story lines that any professional team would have relished as fodder for enriching the broadcast. I like Dakich as a radio personality, but as an analyst he only cared about himself and his stories. He failed to make the game the story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Funny thing is that they all get game notes from the team. That's why you hear the different away announcers say a lot of the same things about the Zips. One of those things is the Freeman story. They apparently missed the performance in front of them and the underlying story. Good thing I don't have ESPNU. As for the radio, I like the job Skoczen is doing.

The only part I liked about Dakich's commentary was that he talked up the MAC quite a bit. Other than that, it felt like he was barely watching the game as it was happening.

UAZippers Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Enrique is a finalist as the best defender in the NCAA. Pretty big honor for a sophomore, let alone a walk-on sophomore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 WOW. Just WOW. And he is really a freshman, having played for 5 minutes last season. And that is an All American honor already! Coach better do whatever it takes to keep him happy. Wine, women, song, cars... I think at this point he could literally play for any team in the country. And he saved our bacon last night. Two monster boards when we really needed them, and a monster block on Plowden that let some of the air out of his tires. And yes, Mballa is an animal. Wish we had him.
