Yep Kent won the first four, Akron has taken the last two. Thank goodness for our runners. Out of the 15 total points Akron has scored the last two years, cross country and track and field (indoor and outdoor) have scored 11 of them. (Football has two, women's basketball 1, men's basketball 0.5 and volleyball 0.5).

NIU with a big loss. Marin Maric transfers to DePaul.

2005. I was there too. That was a great game and atmosphere even with the Zips loss. I really think that was the game where the Zips fortunes started to turn because made it to the quarterfinal so they started doing well but that may have been the game that convinced Lolla to look elsewhere. Funny thing how life turns on little things (ten years later I was back at the same Stadium watching Akron and Maryland play again with my UM daughter. Zips won that one).

Absolutely got to give the kid credit for that one. Well played Cardale (and also credit for finishing).

Pulling a 3.6 in mechanical engineering with the soccer workload is quite an impressive feat!

I may be anti-Steelers, but I love this story. Since the Browns, Bengals and Ravens all have Browns roots I get to root against the Steelers with feeling six times a year. (unfortunately lately they seem to go 2-4 in those games). But maybe with Conner I'll root against them just a little bit less.

So I guess our Groce-ry shopping is done for the year. Gotta give him some credit looks like he pulled in a pretty good class in a very short time. Really interested to see how this season plays out (though I'm not wishing for November to roll around any time soon :-))

Good maybe she can get a job at a towing company. But my luck is, since she's local to me, she'll end up on one of the regional sports networks here.

She's not on the list darn it. :-( Yeah I remember the towing incident and that didn't help my impression of her but I think she's a terrible reporter and I hate listening to her. If she didn't have that face would she have that job? Doubt it. And could this signal the start of the end of the sports bubble? Lots of ramifications here. Hey what was this topic about?

Please have Britt McHenry on that list. I think she's awful.

Or a slightly more recent one on Kostelac. Take the sources for what they're worth but this looks reasonably reliable.

Apparently Kostelac is coming too.

Those are two great venues although in December in North Carolina the weather can get a little dicey.

Shh don't tell them I skipped it, they might come back and take my diploma away. If you were part of the honors program you did not have to take them.

Never took either. Now I feel left out.

Sometimes moving on from a large BM can be a bit of a relief and can remove a distraction that kept you from concentrating on more important things. You'll feel better after its done.

Wow, a lot of discussion over one unsubstantiated vague claim.

Lets just throw everything into this thread. :-) Charlie Spikes was used as a reference in Cheers as the player Sam Malone almost ended his career against. :).

Already had a job by then. My employer paid for my masters.

I think I've told this story before but maybe it bears repeating. Got my undergrad in computer science from Akron. Went to grad school at Johns Hopkins (fully admit at least partly because of the name). Its not completely a fair comparison because I was going part time in the evenings. I think Hopkins is a great school but I will tell you Akron blew Hopkins program away. I will also say that the name on the diploma might matter a little when you're looking for a job but once you're in a job, performance way overshadows background for what's important.

Still at six but I took the risk and asked for a table of eight. Gotta be able to find two more people that would like to go. Its just a request not a guarantee so I will let you know when and what I hear back from the Canton Civic Center.

If there is anyone who would be aware of this it would certainly be you.

I assume it was from this story on Cleveland.com.

Yep, you know what the penalty for animal cruelty is in that state?
