Two blowouts, one night

November 20, 2009

Football
Akron moved the ball, but a couple costly mistakes and an inability to stop Tyler Sheehan's passing attack led to a 36-20 Bowling Green win.
With tonight's loss, Akron's record is 2-9. I'll have more on the game tomorrow.

This should be a busy afternoon on campus. The men's soccer team will play Hartwick for the MAC Championship at 4 p.m. at Lee Jackson Field.

The morning after

November 14, 2009

Football
Another week. Another beatdown.
Akron started with a loud burst of energy, which eventually dwindled to a soft hum. Any team can come out of the locker room with adrenaline and make noise. It is the disciplined, smart team, however, that sustains the momentum and plays for four quarters.
As a result, Temple scored 49 unanswered points. [...]

November 12, 2009

Men's basketball
Both the men's and women's teams held media day today. Here are some notes I jotted down from each:

November 11, 2009

Men's basketball
This time last year was a day of great celebration. Zeke Marshall signed with Akron, relieving fans and coaches from months of rumors about a possible defection.

The Zeke Marshall Era begins unofficially tomorrow.
The Zips will play Mount Union in an exhibition game Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Rhodes Arena.
