When do we get the pitchforks out on Embick? Top 5 paid coach in the country. The results the past 3 seasons aren’t acceptable. Quote

I can’t find the article based on a quick search, but I’m fairly certain it was as high as top 3 when he signed the extension a few years ago. Quote

Hopefully, Arth's firing informs all of the coaches that they better produce. Melissa Jackson, another "nice" person, was handed the job by Williams, who probably had ZERO interest in women's basketball, and she's accomplished zilch. Quote

How much leeway did Orgeron get after his national championship? 5+ years of true mediocrity would start to warm the seat. They've been in and out of the top 10/25 all season, and have wins over multiple top teams. The only Top 10 Akron Football finishes in is the ESPN Bottom Ten. 1 Quote

Before anyone is foolish enough to talk about getting the pitchforks out realize that Jared was asked to run a top 5 program while losing a fulltime operations director, a volunteer coach, a grad assistant, and having his recruiting, travel, operations, and equipment budgets significantly cut. Judge him when he has the tools he needs to succeed. 3 Quote

NWAkron Posted November 16, 2021 Report Posted November 16, 2021 🤮🙄. Animal Husbandry Center. The Golden Flashes have won their last 15 home openers dating back to the 2005-06 season. They will look to extend that streak to 16 straight when the Yeomen come to town. Rob Senderoff's Golden Flashes have dominated at the MACC, creating one of the best home court advantages in the Mid-American Conference. Over the past 10 seasons, the Flashes hold a 118-41 (.742) record at home. Kent State hasn't lost more than four home games in a single season since 2016-17, and the team has a 50-13 record at home during that time. Quote

I hate to say it but their basketball program is beginning to resemble our football program. they kept the guy who was an 8 year assistant under Hawkins. Got him on the cheap. Quote

Got him on the cheap. I'd say it's in a worse spot. Out football program is obviously bad, but even in our worst years we wouldn't lose to Walsh University. That's pretty much what WMU just did in basketball. Edited November 19, 2021 by kreed5120 1 Quote
NWAkron Posted November 20, 2021 Report Posted November 20, 2021 Kittens kept it close for 26 minutes then KY stepped up its defense and held Ohio to 9 points the rest of the game. Groce and the Zips will need that pressing and swarming defense to contain the Kittens front court. And KY is amazing. Quote
