let's get him as a WR coach

Domenik Hixon posted the following to his Facebook page tonight: "I tore my ACL today for the 3rd time today! I'm disappointed that I won't be playing for a bears team that has the players and coaches to WIN the Super Bowl. I thank God for letting me live my dream of playing in the NFL for 8 years plus. It has truly been FUN! #blessed #lovethisgame" Hixon's career was hampered by injuries but it didn't stop him from winning two Super Bowl rings with the New York Giants. He played for the Broncos, Giants, and Panthers and was set to play for the Bears this season before the injury today. Hixon might be best known to Zips fans for catching the deep ball from Luke Getsy to win the 2005 MAC Championship Game. He always represented our university with class while he was here and continues to show Akron support via Facebook and Twitter. He's @domenik_hixon on Twitter - if you're on there, shoot him a congratulations on an excellent career. He's the type of player I'm thrilled to have represent UA.

Just saw on Facebook that Pints is being forced to shut their doors because the property owner no longer wants to do business with them. They're closing after May 31st. This news is kind of surprising. The building is owned by Lorenzo Properties, which operates the drive-through next door and the nightclub downtown.
