I think the YSU game Marketing theme should be "Rubber Bowl Revisited!"
We haven't played YSU since the early 90's at the Bowl. The venue was well know those in Mahoning County.
Get $10 tickets using the promo Code "Rubber Bowl".
I think painting the grass area in the Info endzone to match the old Rubber Bowl cement lettering would look cool.
Players wear the Moving A helmets.
Let people tailgate in the grass inside the Jackson Field track.
Lots of fun stuff you could do with the idea. I predict Joe Akron would show if it were done right. Paul Penguin too.?
Matt Kaulig Racing in their first attempt to make a Cup Series race, was fast enough to get locked into the Daytona 500. They will be racing in the 1st Dual race tonight that sets the line up for the 500 on Sunday.
They will also field 3 cars in the Xfinity Series on Saturday. The same drivers that went 1-2-3 at the last Daytona race.
Saw this article on ESPN this morning. It mentions Akron as a possible "Giant Killer" come tourney time. Not a long article, but thought some here might find it interesting.

I cringe every time ZipsNation starts getting too excited. I've been an NEO sports fan for too long and I am always looking for that train (felony indictment, DV arrest. season ending injury...) hiding around the bend.
Just get me to Cleveland with a decent seed.

No problem ! If you guys want a solid game to gauge him the northwestern game last night is a great one to watch get on YouTube Bruin sports network and watch last nights games tayson Parker from northwestern is as athletic as the top level Mac players ( not exaggerating) and he had some electrifying dunks ....Luke scored 31 on only 14 shots ...7 of 10
from 3 and 3 of 4 from 2....he had 8 assists to go with it and 6 of those 7 threes made were at least 3 and sometimes up to 10 feet beyond the arc and non of them were open shots
When we appear to be gloating about a Dukes loss it isn't because of any ill will towards KD or his staff. I for one am not going to turn on a game an enjoy watching them lose. He and his staff built a solid program and fan base here. My issue is with the fans who abandoned the Zips when he left and those on here who did nothing but gripe since he left. So I don't mind pointing out that his moving on was a good thing. Occasionally, a divorce leaves everyone better off.
