Article on newest recruit

Men’s basketball
In an attempt to cleanse your pallets, I’ll forward you to an article about Zips recruit Ronnie Steward.
As Ray Mernagh of Hoopfactor.com first reported, the best point guard in Ohio committed to Akron last week.
For those of you without Rivals.com access, I’ll sum up a recent article about him for you. Steward chose Akron because of Keith Dambrot’s up-tempo style of play. It also helps that Dambrot’s dream job is with the Zips. He’s not like Jim Christian, who will take the first plane, train or automobile out of Kent State.
Marshall and Akron dueled for the 5-foot-10 player’s commitment. With a 3.8 GPA, academics also factored into the decision for Steward, who plans to study business.
How are the Zips able to reel in such big-time prospects? Dambrot works harder, and more importantly, starts earlier in recruiting, his assistant Jeff Boals told me.
p.s. Kent State wanted Steward, too. Does that help your heartache?
Men’s soccer
Maybe all the Zips needed was a cupcake to stop their nauseating setbacks.
Akron beat Western Michigan 2-0, but next is Penn State at Happy Valley Friday night.
Women’s soccer
The women continued their slide in MAC play by losing 3-1 to Western Michigan.
The Zips are now 0-3 in the MAC, but 7-0 in non-conference games.
Unfortunately for coach Catherine Byrne, the former are more important.
Akron will host Northern Illinois Sunday afternoon at 1.
Volleyball
Akron was close in all three games, but lost 3-0 to Toledo Saturday night at Rhodes Arena.
One bright spot for the 7-10 team: Senior Kim Horn recorded her 1,000th career dig.
The Zips will travel to Bowling Green and Miami this week to improve on their 1-3 conference record.

“He’s not like Jim Christian, who will take the first plane, train or automobile out of Kent State.”
If only today wasn’t a “i should shoot myself in the chest” day, that reference to a Steve Martin and John Candy movie would have been great.
Zips “Z” fense: “Z” sucks
Zips offense: sucks
Zips Special team: Special is the right word. they should come to games on a short bus. The only saving grace is John Mclaine. Who, even though he spells his last name differently, shares the same name as the main character in Die Hard. He is my new favorite Zip.
Zips overall: SUCK. (except J.M. and possibly Kiki.)

Posts like this from a student “journalist” are why folks like you and the rest of the wannabe journalists are never going to make a living writing. Kiel, Kadar and the Kombover are the KKK of reporting ethic andhave little talent. Quit being a whiny ass little baby and report. And be sure to look at the bottom of your whisky bottle to find the nanoshred of credibility that the three of you share. You are a fairweather fan and a shill for whatever makes you feel good at the moment - grow up.

“You are a fairweather fan”
and you are a son of a bitch. I have supported Akron my whole life. I have been attending the battle for the wagon wheel for the last 20 years. I was at the rubber bowl for all the god aweful teams.I have seen coaches come and go. I have sat through blizards, tornados and anything else the weather wanted to throw at us. I have driven hours to see away games. I don’t want to hear your fairweather fan bull shit.
“Quit being a whiny ass little baby and report”
Its called sarcasm. Idiots like you think everything everyone says is the end all of seriousness. Get a clue. Im making Die Hard references and talking like a character from the movie Major League II. What am I going to report? huh? tell me. Assholes like you just think they know everything. Shut the f__k up.
“Kiel, Kadar and the Kombover are the KKK of reporting ethic andhave little talent”
real creative. how long did it take you to think that one up? little talent. please, Kadar could write circles around you. And are you calling rasor the “kombover”. really reaching deep for that one, douche bag.
“Posts like this from a student “journalist” are why folks like you and the rest of the wannabe journalists are never going to make a living writing.”
Funny, I don’t recall EVER claiming to be a journalist. If you took the time to do a shred of research you would see that I’m the art director. I’m majoring in GD not journalism. There isn’t a damn person out there who can design better than I can. I just happen to write better than idiots like you, so I also have a sports column.
“And be sure to look at the bottom of your whisky bottle to find the nanoshred of credibility that the three of you share.”
another classic! you are the funniest person alive. Yes! we obviously drink 24 hours a day and do our jobs while smashed. I can’t remember a day when im not drunkenly writing bad things about the zips. i am a fairweather fan after all.
“grow up.”
take your own advice. You talk big online. “ohh look at me, im on a computer, they can’t see me. I am going to talk all big and bad.” Its always great when a kid gets online and talks like he is mr perfect or something. I’m sure that if you respond to this it will be a lot of empty sentences filled with more bad jokes and krazy “kombover” komments. I think i’ll start spelling everything with a K, so i can make KKK references. Racist shit ass.

to further prove my point that you should follow your own advice about growing up.

That is funny stuff.
Forgot to mention something even funnier about Sat.: Brookhart actually DID prepare the Zips like a Lee Owens team. Try another approach, big guy.
