  1. All I can say is his potential recruits will be thrilled to be getting calls from LBJ.
  2. Plus the reduction in HC salary will help with their athletics budget.
  3. ClevelandZip (from UA News thread) Posted February 3 https://signalakron.org/wonder-bread-building-university-akron-demolished/ I thought this was an interesting article. UA is demolishing the old Akron Baking/Wonder Bread building. It is also planning on demolishing other buildings and selling off ones that can be salvaged. The article specifically says UA is trying to sell Quaker Square (which is not unexpected). A preservationist is quoted in the article saying that preserving Quaker Square, the Central Hower Auditorium, and the Martin building are his priorities. -------------------- One can only assume UA will get all the blame from John Q. Public if QS is sold and gets torn down. If anyone should be responsible for its preservation it's the Quaker Oats Co. It would make a great company museum and gift shop.
  4. I wish the other MAC football teams would do some point shaving 🙁 Or maybe we could say that's what we've been doing, as an excuse 😉
  5. gotta keep up the tradition of DU playing a game at SVSM HS.
  6. I didn't watch the whole game but I saw where they were talking about KD retiring and showing Dru on the bench and talking him up. They also showed the team opening their boxes of sneakers from LeBron. Duq. got a lot of good exposure in the tourneys from the LBJ connection so they might just want to keep a good thing going.
  7. For a lot of us, it was about the convenience and cost effectiveness of attending college in our home area, often while working on the side. For purposes of getting a starting job in an in-demand field like engineering/ IT, nursing, accounting, etc. it's as good as any of the others. If you want to work on Wall Street, get into an elite grad program, or climb to the top in business or government then the Harvard or OSU brands will help.
  8. As well as Creighton shot in scoring 77 on us, there are a lot of other teams scoring in the 90s and even 100s.
  9. I know what you're saying but I hate that their football and basketball programs are ahead of us right now. I also hate that I can't watch this game on CBS Paramount+ without upgrading to the premier plan grrr.
  10. anyone know if the team and or coach and or AD came straight back home after the game? or to what extent they might have stayed to rub elbows?
  11. sounds like the catalyst we need to make MAC basketball relevant again, looking forward to it. If I had a word of advice for them it would be to do the same for football.
  12. I don't think it's out of the question that groce could still be sought for a job in a multi bid league. And we barely got the 1 MAC bid this year.
  13. I'm fine with having multiple brand marks. let media use the one they prefer. go zips!
  14. https://theathletic.com/podcast/97-the-audible-with-bruce-and-stew/?episode=523 considerable mentions of akron on a national podcast, towards the end..
  15. Good call. I didn't bet it but I did pick MSU on my bracket so I'm pulling for them. Holy schnikes, it's now 20-8 MSU(!)
  16. First game underway today... MSU leads MSU 8-4..
  17. The Cricket was well before 2002/2003. ~20 years is probably a good cutoff since we have some young whippersnappers in here.
  18. Sounds like a good name for a race horse.
  19. Highs in the 40s this week... Play Ball!
  20. whatever happens, it will be an emotional tourney for him and the Mrs.
  21. Selfishly, I'm curious to see where some of their players might go now via the portal.
  22. it's not like the MAC is winning all of its OOC games currently..
