  1. He was kicking the girl in the head when she was down...sounds like assault to me. I'm actually shocked the kid could get out in 180 days.
  2. @NewZipsFan percentages are misleading.... If 50 out of 100 renewed in 2011 for 50% and then 33 out of 50 renew in 2012 for 66%...which would be significant but still be down considerably. With that in mind I'm hopeful new ticket sales are significant because by the end of last year things were really bad.
  3. I was able to move my seats down 10 rows....with that I woudl think renewals are down.
  4. Are these Can't wins wishful thinking? They are definitely ahead of us in development due to Ianello's ineptitude and the game is on the road.
  5. The Whiskey bar is nothing like the Peninsula Winking Lizard. Lizardville and Winking Lizard are two separate brands. At Lizardville they have a smaller appetizer menu and an entire whisky menu where you can buy flights of whiskey. They have 170 different kinds of whiskey. When they opened the one in Bedford Heights they took some of their best bartenders and servers from their restaurants to staff it. They sent the entire crew to Kentucky to visit distillers and sample to learn about whiskey. http://www.lizardville.net/?q=whiskey&location=Bedford The beer selection is more vast too and it is all room temperature. They have a chiller they drop the bottle into when you want to purchase that chills it to the perfect temperature. Pretty cool place with a completely different vibe than the Winking Lizard. Maybe they will actually have parking now.
  6. Looks like he played as a true freshman so your right this could be his red shirt year.
  7. http://www.reporterherald.com/sports/csu/c...-colorado-state I don't think he is sitting out. He is a senior and this article indicates he was released.
  8. I'm going to put my vote in for Whitey's, B-Spot and Flip Side. I don't understand Swenson's. If I'm having a fast food burger I get Wendy's. I've I'm going chain burger Red Robin does a nice job.
  9. Brett Biggs was 5'9 and 195 lbs and one of my favorite Running Backs to play at Akron. Looking forward to seeing another RB prove the "experts" wrong.
  10. Zac Jackson from Foxsports Ohio was on 92.3 just the other day talking about this contract extension. He then went on to suggest a new stadium with money from LBJ is in the future and perhaps a LBJ statue in the arena. He inferred that he learned it from talking with Keith. Take it for what it is, but it was interesting to hear Zac talk about it on the radio.
  11. So Penn State is on the calendar in 2014. Sounds like the playing field just got a little more level.
  12. Cap'n with respect...your love affair with Nicely couldn't beat out the "worst qb" so I'm not sure what you are getting at with your slam of Moore. The guy is gone let him go and enjoy himself elsewhere. Your choice fell was behind him on the depth chart so what does that say about your choice? He fell all the way to a crappy Division II program.
  13. If I recall Dakotah was an 8th grade commit to Kentucky and never lived up to his potential. Forsythe was actually on WVU's roster for a year and if you read the articles expected to play a significant part last year as a back-up prior to his injury. Seems quite a bit different.
  14. I am listening to the press conference on the radio and if this isn't the definition of lack of institutional control...I'm not sure what is. Given the penalties other schools have seen for "FAR" lesser things I hope the PSU football program gets the death penalty. SMU got the death penalty for drugs and cheating....allowing children to be molested on your campus is the worst. I said allowing because the lack of care regarding this by these children is disgusing. On a side note the blinded PSU fans and alumni who continue to try to defend Joe Paterno (my relatives included) disturb me to no end.
  15. Dante's in Tremont is awesome and I have been looking forward to this restaurant opening for months.
  16. Amazing that we are now getting recruiters others wanted and not only offers.
  17. Nobody would come here because Cleveland was always a few year destination for him never committing to Cleveland. If he would have committed they would have come....they were right he jumped ship first chance. Nobody discounts his talent they discount his character.
  18. GP1 being a Steelers fan I wouldn't expect you to understand what it is like to be a Cleveland fan. I don't know you from Adam, but if you are one of those born and raised in Cleveland Steelers fans that makes you even worse. I didn't vote either because my feelings are captured with any of the choices. The guy is an ass, but I certainly won't go to the extent of the article on Deadspin. I saw that earlier today and was dumbfounded by the vitriol.
  19. Can't excels in baseball and golf and we seem to suck at both....how is it we can fix this scenario?
  20. I had 3 Floyds Gumballhead on tap at the Taphouse in Tremont. Taphouse always has a good rotation of beer, but the Greenhouse Tavern always has a 3 Floyds on tap.
  21. I look at the list of guys who played at Akron and none of them ring a loud bell. I guess if you have a real football jones this is for you. I know in Germany they have club teams that play for a city....I guess this is similar to that. They play in Nordonia and if you'd like to watch football in the summer I guess this is your option. http://www.neopredators.com/roster.htm
  22. Wow...great pick-ups for the A-10. Would certainly like to have a Commish with that kind of drive
  23. So the Akron team finished 8th at the MAC Tournament, but Charlie Bull was selected to participate in the Regional Tournament. My question is (and we may have discussed it here before) why are we so bad year in and year out in Golf? We have a home course most kids would love to play on Firestone and I thought we had an indoor golf area in the Field House that was supposed to be top notch. What are we doing wrong? I hate to see Herb Page dominate at Can't like his teams always do. Can't golf is like Akron soccer without the national championship.
  24. I read this article over the weekend and is possibly the most ridiculous reason to de-commit. The kid posed for the picture and nobody has control over who is walking on campuses across this country...just dumb.
  25. I got the survey and filled it out. I'd love to see an online (unscrubbed) version of the results posted on gozips. It would be interesting to see what people suggested. I will say the most entertaining professional sport in NE Ohio is the Cavs. The Cavs by far put the best game experience together and it makes it enjoyable for kids of all ages...interested in basketball or not. I am always thoroughly entertained. The Zips are trying, but there game day experience is quite amateur still. At the end the of the day if they improve the seats (even the blue seats are terrible) and provide better sight lines throughout it will make things so much better - oh yeah students need to be closer to the floor with better seating other than those lousy behind the seat hoops.
