  1. Totally agree. It's as if Akron knows their fanbase on ZNO and specifically scheduled Liberty to stir the pot. It's been awhile since the pot had been stirred here.
  2. If you make judgements based souley on skin color you are correct, that is woefully ignorant. But if you pretend that the color of someone's skin doesn't impact their lives and that we're all magically equal...you're definitely woefully ignorant. I agree with you that skin color shouldn't matter, only the content of one's character should. But to pretend that our society is not still highly impacted by radical racial tyranny and suppression that existed for generations; is just flat out sticking one's head in the sand.
  3. I don't think anyone here in the context of this conversation stated they were either "liberal" or "leftist"; which would be projection on your part to assume everyones views on race is derived from a central identity of "left" or "right" rather than a thoughtful consideration and nuance of observation. But you have to be woefully ignorant if you don't think skin color (which is derived from amount of producing, amount of storing storing and type of melanin) does not have an impact in our society on people. This isn't a "left" view; it's observational fact. And if you deny that it is...well, frankly you're kidding yourself.
  4. We will never fill Infocision again.
  5. Lose to Liberty. If we lose to Libertyr...an institution that has the audacity to charge people $17,000 a year to teach them that the world is 5,000 years old...an idea that literally kills brain cells typing/reading, and has a fervid white supremacist as it's figure-head...we deserve to nix our football program forever. Because losing to such an institution means we, as a real institution of education, shouldn't give them the time-of-day. So I do in a sense agree with you. No self-respecting modern University should give Liberty University the time of day.
  6. Thank you for saying what I was going to say. Their science department teaches that the World is 5000 years old. Embarrassing to say the least.

    I pay the $20 a month for the other channels I get with it and watch during those seasons. So it made perfect sense to me. The new ESPN way is to screw over it's already existing subscribers for a shameless money grab for a product that no one asked for. I get what you're saying though. If this is the ONLY video product you consume it makes sense to go $5 over $20. But when you had a video streaming product that already gave you access to the content you wanted via ESPN3 and then they take that away from you and say "buy new shiney turd" it kinda pisses some people off.
  8. A recent Episode of Adam Ruins Everything from TruTV constantly references the City of Akron. -The "main character" of the episode says he's from Akron Ohio -They talk about how flights out of Akron always have connecting flights -Mention how Akron is the Blimp capital It was random when I watched the episode but enjoyed that it mentioned Akron all the same.

    I cut the cord as well. You could get ESPN 1/2/3 as part of a $20/month package that you can cancel at any time. That was worth it for me. Now that I no longer get Akron games via that subscription, I'm screwed. It's bullshit to me.

    I don't want/care about that content. I want the content I was getting, for the same package that I already had. Not buy two packages to get to keep the crap I used to have. It's just a big middle-finger to the consumer. If I really gave a rat's ass about those other things...I'd sign up for them. I don't. But am forced to just to get to watch Akron football games. It's an absolutely joke.

    I'm not happy. I don't feel like I got anything in addition to what I already had with my Subscription to ESPN/ESPN3 last year. Two subscriptions for the same amount of stuff I had last year.
  12. I will say, I'm still on the fence about how I feel about Arth. But this class was a pretty big class for not having much time to recruit; and certainly adds some bodies to the depth chart if nothing else; which had been lacking in the Bowden years. Of course, we have to wait 2-years to see how this class is panning out. But it's nice to see 23 recruits in a class verses the sub-20 we regularly saw in the Bowden years.
  13. I've been severely behind on paying attention to recruiting. How is the class panning out for us? Are we losing the Bowden guys, and who are we picking up? Thanks for anyone who wants to give a quick sorta synapsis
  14. Beating the Bobkittens never gets old. Go Zips!
  15. What a garbage article and a grabage site...lol
  16. I was replying that he said something about teaching a class or something...I thought I missed something somewhere that said he was going to teach a class...hence why I was confused
  17. I hope the hopefuls are correct...right now I'm the apathetic . Please make me eat crow Tom Arth. PLEASE make me eat crow...
  18. Hope my initial gut reaction is wrong.
  19. (shrug) There seems to be a lot of people excited about some guy who had success at some D-III college.
  20. Fair enough. This is my first coaching change I've had to follow beyond Ianello -> so I was expecting something more...exciting...
  21. Bowden was 140-62 before coming to Akron... and 5-7 was a solid turnaround from 1-11. I'm just saying I don't get the Hype on Tom Arth. And if people don't like him at UTC, why should we like the idea of getting him here?
  22. If Tom Arth is hired as coach of the Akron Zips, I'm done. That hire would give me 0 confidence in the future of the program. At least Terry had winning seasons at Northern Alabama and had the Bowden name...
  23. WTF is this response? Riveting stuff.
