Now I see. Proofreading is important.

The beginning of Gilbert's video indicates he plays for the Cleveland Browns. I hope that's a fact in a year or two.

I went to the event. Here's what I learned. This was the second year UA held an alumni event like this in Columbus. By all accounts the alumni association seemed to be pleased with the turnout. About 80 people came during the two hours it was held. The location, Standard Hall, was nice. We had our own room and bar. The food was first class and the drinks were ample. In addition to the strong alumni association showing there were many faculty and staff from the Bliss Institute for Applied Politics. That stands to reason with Columbus being the center of state government. The highlight of the evening was a talk from Matt Wilson. He noted the following: freshmen attendance is up 10% over last year transfers are up 15% over last year the goal of covering a $30 M deficit has been achieved and an additional $5 has been placed in a surplus fund next year a budget deficit of $29 must be covered and the U of A will be out of the deficits for good the dorms are at full occupancy the law school will host an international on-line symposium that will be attended by people from the five major continents the university wants to get more active in state politics. To that end Willy Kollman has been named executive director of Gov't and Alumni Relations he made no mention of sports I tried to talk with Matt but he needed to spend time with the state elected officials that were there. He did comment that we had to have a stronger presence in Columbus and it appeared he was working on it. It was a surprise to me how many of the alumni who attended wanted to talk about Zip sports. I thought they would be indifferent but the opposite was true. They all wanted to talk about Zip teams winning the MAC. Most were not as informed as the average ZNO member but they were hungry for a winner. They took pride in their school. The event ended at 8:00 pm. I'm looking forward to another next year.

I believe everyone on this board could do better than GT....

I'm glad we offended the hippies. More drama for the rivalry is a good thing.

For the fun of it...from 2014 -- How much does it cost to book your favorite band? Who would you book?

Kaul fat.

Kent State Players Hurt by Zips Bringing the Wagon Wheel ? Nick Holley and Demetrius Monday weren't so forgiving of representatives from arch-rival Akron who brought the Wagon Wheel Trophy the Zips earned by edging Kent State last season to Canton and perched it in a seat at their table, about 20 feet from where the Flashes were stationed. “You can't print my thoughts on that,” said Holley, when asked about the presence of the Wagon Wheel at MAC Media Day. “The words I've got for you I can't say. We'll just keep it at that.” “You can't say it don't hurt,” said Monday. “We'll see you (on game day).”

Upgraded to 4.2 There is some reindexing going on in the background that may cause some early morning performance issues, but this should clear up by 9 am. If not, I'll repost an update here.

All this after he was supposed walk on at Alabama?

Thank you for making more generalizations based on a myopic study of 1 G5 school.

A few lighter questions.

Thank you for your interview post. TB seems very optimistic w/o going overboard. It seems to me that he clearly knows he has to produce this season. I hope he does. I appreciate you going the extra mile. I hope you are credentialed for all Zip sporting activities. When you represent ZNO you carry a lot of clout.

He's in the twilight of his career not the dawn.
