Just a few days now until the Zips get back into the swing of things. I have a good feeling.

I LOVE Cody's attitude. Make quarterbacks shiver in their boots!

Rodney Coe and Cody Grice makes me want to watch the Zips right now!

I've seen the story posted on ESPN, Yahoo, The Today Show, Sports Illustrated..basically everywhere. I don't care who is "paying" for it. The University couldn't ask for better PR, especially as of late. Forever having the College of Education named after him/his charity and giving us that name recognition makes it all that much better. Partnering with this guy as much as possible is a no lose situation. Great move UA!

Hey LZip....not trying to ruin your party, but if I were trying to prove a 20k attendance average over 5 years, I wouldn't reference a couple of the largest years, and ignore the rest. The 2 years you ignored are years where they averaged 13k and 17k, and the lowest one was the most recent. Kangaroo....If the NIU example has "Zero" (your word) to do with our situation, please find me an example more valid than a consistently successful program, from the same conference, and the same part of the country, which is likewise surrounded by Big 10 territory. And should I add that they are less than an hour away from the 3rd largest city in the country?

You're assuming a military-like organization is the only way (or best way) to instill discipline and leadership. Good professors who give a damn about their universities and their students can do a lot more for a student and their career. Professors whom mentor their students can instill the discipline needed to succeed in their fields. Corps of Cadets seems more like an agenda than it seems like a program that would have, to be completely frank, any measurable impact on students. We already have a LOT of student leaders at UA's campus that are rarely backed in any meaningful way by administration. Just ask the students who put on Relay For Life...you think they don't have discipline to pull off that event? You don't think they have leadership to pull of that event? C'mon man!

ESPN front page story. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13437404/lebron-james-university-akron-fund-4-year-scholarships-promise-students Finally somebody has figured out how to team up with LeBron at the U and make some positive news. I can't believe it has taken this long. http://www.uakron.edu/im/news/scarborough-and-lebron-announce-scholarship-program-for-akron-children
