That was nearly Akron's "boondoggle." the Convo concept was originally slated for UA, but redirected toward CSU due to Cleveland, at that time, not having a big downtown arena, where as Summit County had the Richfield Coliseum. Then, less than 5 years after the Convo opened, so did Gund Arena/Q less than a mile down the road, and the Richfield Coliseum is a nature preserve. In a logical world, Akron should have a facility like Wolstein Center/Convo and Cleveland the Q. That was nearly what ended up happening, but fiefdom like greed and lack of regional foresight got in the way. It really is a tale of why NEO is struggling. Two perfectly good facilities are going to be torn down after 25 years of life because both were built in the wrong location. Yeah, Cleveland will still end up OK because the Gund/Q was rightfully built in downtown Cleveland. But Akron/Summit County was left with its proverbial dick in its hands with nothing. Its maddening if you reallly think about it.

Just saw it posted on twitter than 6'6", 285 lb. Garfield OT/DT Marcus Kidd gave us a verbal today. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/5575764/marcus-kidd

In recent years, the two hardest hits have go to Conor Hundley on the Miami LB and to Shawn Lemon on the blindside of the Kent QB.
