“We need to go into the NCAA Tournament and win and we weren’t ready to win with the two teams we took yet [in 1986 and 2009]

I believe KD was probably talking about the 2009 & 2011 teams, not the team from 1986. Great read though.

Hate to sound stupid -- but I am NEW... Who is Terry Pluto?

Also -- I like your signature... maybe I'm biased, but why don't you add Terrell Buckley to that list?

Ha! I had a class with him a couple years ago when he told me how hard it was to go home and see his girlfriend without a license.

That was the first thought that came to my mind when reading that. But a good read, overall.

Terry Pluto is one of Akron/UA's public enemies. He used to write for the Akron Beacon Journal and now he writes for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. For the past twenty years, he's been subconsciously indoctrinating our region against the legitimacy of the UofA with passive-aggressive articles belittling the significance of the U, and Akron in general.

I don't know what's been more harmful/destructuve to Akron's psyche, the fact that the Cleveland tv media has literally gone out of their way to ignore the very existence of Akron, or Terry Pluto, who would write about Akron, but only in condescending tones.
