Brookhart will focus on special teams
Football
The ABJ's David Lee Morgan discussed Akron's kicking woes in 2006.
J.D. Brookhart said he is talking with special teams gurus and should have more options at place kicker this fall.
Regardless of the extra focus on special teams, I can't see kicking being such a big problem again. The Zips will have more options -- Igor Iveljic and a walk-on -- that someone should step up and win the job. Heck, that could even be Matt Domonkos.
I plan to cover several spring practices, which start Thursday.
Men's basketball
Tom Gaffney covered last night's celebration.
He estimated (or maybe the university did) the crowd at 450.
I wanted to post a photo from the Buchtelite, but we are in the process of launching a new Web site and everything is messed up.
