Plus, it'd be nice to actually see a confirmation of this. It's still not official yet until the University announces it.

Crist to Kansas. No surprise there, not like he was coming to UA now anyway. Wonder if Terry can pull a rabbit out of the hat?

How about we campaign to have Bobby be the figurehead head coach until he breaks Paterno's record?

His Wikipedia page has already been updated. Happy about the hire, but do wonder a little about the ten year gap between Auburn and UNA. UNA was good all three years he was there. And his dream job is said to be WVU. How long until someone starts worrying about that? Crap, I think I just did.

Demonstrating yet again how unusual it was and lucky we were to have Coach Porter stay with Akron.

Is this like an auction? Hey, TW...I will do it for $97,500!!!! $97,499

Wayne State may not be the backwater everyone assumes it to be. This story shows the university affiliations of the owners of all 122 of the big four professional sports teams. Wayne State is tied with Yale, Penn, Dartmouth and NYU for sixth place. There may be a lot deeper pockets and support there than you think. Dan Gilbert of the Cavaliers, Lily Tomlin, Casey Kasem and Hugh Downs are all Wayne State grads. Might add a little to the explanation of why he decided to stay.

MAC goes to 2-0. Congrats to the Bobcats for knocking off Utah State 24-23. Their first bowl win ever. Wild finish.

The MAC is the bowls wins leader at the moment. 1-0. Temple just beat Wyoming 37 -15. Ohio is up now.

Its on the MAC site. Zips running them out of the building, 41-15 now.

Cvetinovic for 3, 22 -11 Zips.

Your wish is my command. Thanks! +1 (First plus one I have ever posted - I was about to make the same request - what in the world possessed you to do it in the first place?)

Wow, what a tough turn of events for Wayne State. About to score a touchdown, have to settle for a field goal, blocked and returned for a touchdown. 20-14 Pittsburg.

Zeke odds on a triple double? He has 10 points, 6 blocks and 4 rebounds at the half.

Math lesson #2. $5M keeps you pretty darn happy and legal. $90M is a lot, $0 is little if you get caught. $5M >>>> $0. I'll bet he didn't do a cost/benefit - risk/reward analysis. Should have gotten an education at UA instead of NIU.

SI Story reports "The 26-year-old was in his first season with the Chicago Bears and had signed a three-year contract with the team worth $5.15 million". 26 years old, a five million dollar contract and still dealing. Wow, you wonder what gets into someone's head.

So would this then make ITZ the Snow Miser since he always wants Winters?

For anyone who has never seen the show, it is a race around the world with a bunch of stops along the way. It starts and stops in the US and this year the final leg was in Atlanta. That's where the two contestants on the left met up with the Zips fan.

Here is a screen capture for anyone that didn't see it - this should be in the Random Akron sightings thread.

Stick to soccer little man. I have met Z.I.P. Little, he is not.

Not to brag or anything, but I nailed it again. Next step is to go out on a limb and actually pick a team next time.

And all three made one of the College Soccer News All-freshman teams. Congrats guys!

Porter's not so great. He only lost seven starters and his team only makes the sweet sixteen this year? And he only recruited four players that every other team wanted this year? Phhfft.

Could we have another scenario like last year - a final where the "jilted" school (Akron/UNC) gets to face their old coach (Lolla/Bolowich). Its a lot more fresh for UNC and they are not the upstarts, Creighton is, but I'd love to see that as a final. Ben Speas gets a title for two different schools, two years in a row?

I'm prettty sure this is a repeat of a quarterfinal last year that Louisville won in a barnburner 5-4. Kind of rooting for UCLA this year.
