Pol Hernandez deservedly earned straight red for kicking opponent while both were on the floor. Right in front of the benches. Stupid. He put his team at risk for the match, and he will miss the next. Having said that, Hernandez has really turned the corner this season in quality of play. He is now among the best players Zips have to offer. Expect post season recognition - if he can keep his temper in check. I have nothing even close to official information on Carlo Ritaccio's injury, but I can connect some dots. Ritaccio had shoulder surgery a while back. Entirely losing the 2020 season has thrown off my reckoning, but I think surgery occurred directly after 2018 season. Carlo's current injury is also shoulder related. Having seen the tackle resulting in his current injury, and having seen him sidelined at practice and the most recent match, I conclude that the same shoulder is at issue. I hope he returns this season, but I doubt he will see action anytime real soon. Boy, the whole stadium can hear Ritaccio "coach" from the sideline, even with his arm in the sling.

How is Ohio doing with vaccines? I know that a good number of players on the team are not Ohio residents, and even if vaccinations were more readily available this may not have been prevented anyway, but I had heard that Ohio was doing well with vaccinations and, I also thought that I heard that Ohio opened up vaccines to age 16 and up. I'm in Illinois and overall it's not going well. My daughter, though, is 21 and was recently vaccinated. She is also a student at a college in Illinois. She has slight asthma but did not "game" the system to get her vaccine. She also works with a vulnerable population on a regular basis so that may enter into the equation. Tonight's game vs West Virginia is now Akron's 4th postponement or cancelation in a row. The February 21 game vs Pitt makes it the 5th of the season. I've not heard of another program in any division, men's or women's, that have had the same issues. It's unfortunate.
