Are you implying that the citizens of NEO will re-locate their pre and post-game meals without even checking the local sales tax rates? Blasphemy!

The Best Uncapped American Player + MLS Homegrown Growth --- Wil Trapphttp://tempofreesoccer.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-best-uncapped-american-player-mls.html

We won the MAC with our A-Roo's. Is that logo now gone from our athletic dept? Damn, lets have some kind of tradition to hold onto.

I think I am with you even though I am not a big fan of the 'Z' logo. I like the gold A-Roo the most. I also like the white even though I think a lot of other schools have already gone that way and I'd rather we be more original. I think I'd really like a white A-Roo helmet where the 'A' portion of the Roo logo was now gold.

Chris Korb makes MLS Team of the Week. Thanks to Jared for retweeting! http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/07/14/team-week-wk-18-thierry-henry-jermain-defoe-lead-way-vintage-performances?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=News&utm_campaign=Unpaid

We shouldn't be surprised by LeBron supporting all things Ohio and being claimed by all. No one in Ohio has an exclusive on him. His relationships with various parts of Ohio are all a little different. The one with tOSU is scripted to be highly visible. Every time he shows up there it's highly publicized with cameras whirring and clicking. The locker with his name on it that he never has a real need to use is just part of the tOSU/Nike marketing program. Urban Meyer and Thad Matta are just two of many who want a piece of him. Who wouldn't? Whatever claim anyone else in Ohio may make on LeBron, Akron is home. The JAR is where he played many of his HS games. Keith Dambrot helped turn an aspiring young football player into a basketball legend. When LeBron shows up unannounced at the JAR to scrimmage with the Zips, there are no cameras and no publicity flaks to orchestrate media coverage. It's just LeBron being LeBron in private in a place and with people he's comfortable being around. No one at UA needs to reach out to LeBron. UA is part of his home. He may have left the Cavaliers for four years, but he never left home.

Savior? Nah, just a kid from Akron, Ohio.

Stinks he's no longer a Zip, but trust me, sending guys to the majors will bring a lot more Devin Aharts to the program.

We will be changing servers soon. The outage was a result of the changeover. Hopefully we will have a seamless transition over the next week-or-so. Within the next week there may be another outage. If so, I will give all members a full refund proportional to their monetary investment in ZipsNation and the outage time.

I will go first. After the game Saturday, a group of us went down to Lockview on Main Street. I really liked it. Their specialty is grilled cheese (13 varieties). I had the daily special which was a roast beef sandwich and a cup of chili with the works. Both good. Pretty nice beer selection, focusing mainly on bottles, of over 100 choices. I was able to sample a Brew Kettle Black Rajah that I had been wanting to try for a while, now. Good music on the box, mostly 80's tunes & a nice over all experience. I will be back. http://thelockview.com/
