Agba apparently transferred.

I didn't think that was a great movie by any stretch but I did think LeBron James was really good in it and by far the funniest part of the movie. And the prop football hall of fame just down the road ought to be enough of a draw just to keep it on topic. :-)

This Bolws. :-)

Arrgh- except for the Bolwing Green - at least they could have made it Blowing.

Good for him.He ought to be very comfortable being around Rowdies.

From a story in the Washington Post about the greater influx of Middle Eastern women in the Olympic games Akron was a training ground for a weightlifter from the UAE. Note her reference to "James LeBron".

It's cool but every one of those points are due to the "third place" finish of the soccer team. Clayton Murphy's victory didn't even help because it didn't put the Zips in a top ten position in T&F (they finished 23rd). So again while cool its more due to the excellence of one program rather than across the board athletic excellence (even though this was one of the best athletic years overall for the Zips men's teams that I can remember).

Yeah that seems fine here too. As long as nobody posts to it, here is a thread exhibiting that behavior right now.

And now he's dead - accidentally shot himself while moving a duffel bag with a gun in it. :-(

I've seen it too on IE11 but its always seemed to be when there was a picture posted at end of the thread that seemed to cause the problem.

I guess someone else thinks so too - she is apparently going to be in the next EPSN body issue.

Just the sort of comment you like to see from your rivals "groooaaaaan. As if Akron needs this type of talent. Ohio going to be put in a tough spot of sorts...". From the Hustle Belt article on Javon's transfer.

Now that the current HOF class has been announced they're going to start winnowing the list for the class of 2017, This happens to be the first year of eligibility for Jason Taylor along with some other notable players. The only new ones I see as being ahead of Taylor are LaDanian Tomlinson and Hines Ward. Of course there are plenty of currently eligible players as well, so I don't necessarily see him getting in on the first attempt but I'll bet it's no longer than three.

And a terrible situation to deal with right off the bat. :( Always wish Brian nothing but the best, I found he and his family are terrific people for the few times I was able to interact with them.

Wouldn't it have been better for them to post an actual picture of Jatavis?

I like that the picture they chose was one of him taking down an Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield.

And of course the old "level of competition" knock. Forgot he must have played most of his career at Morehead State. Never faced anyone like Pitt, Oklahoma, Penn State, Michigan ...

Once at a soccer game I happened to sit next to coach Boals who didn't know me at all but struck up a conversation anyway. Couldn't have been a nicer or more engaging personality. Happy for him but also happy he didn't end up in the MAC so that I won't have to root against him. :-)

What is this? Accurate information from a reliable source? This has to be a first on ZipsNation and Internet message boards in general. Thank you Donna.

Big Dog will have one less Big Man to play against next year, Antonio Campbell just declared for the NBA draft.

Good article I hope he gets a chance to catch on somewhere. I don't remember playing South Florida - I suspect FIU got lost in translation somewhere. :) Didn't mention playing at Michigan which was by far the best of the P5 games.

But bizarrely in his write-up on him lists him as a day 3 or UDFA. I am certain he will have a NFL job somewhere next year.

Fun little prank - especially naming the two design companies LIRPATurf and SloofDay Design - the first one I wouldn't have caught it on but the second was a little bit too obvious.

And because Bleacher Report is affiliated with CNN it's also on the CNN front page under sports. Only good thing is it is an accident and isn't really cause for truly negative publicity.

In a different article Elton also mentions how tough Buffalo's OOC schedule was this year especially as opposed to the rest of the MAC. Possible lesson there? Old Dominion (Conference-USA), St. Joseph (Atlantic 10), St. Bonaventure (Atlantic 10), Duke (ACC), Iowa State (Big 12) and VCU (Atlantic 10) were all on the schedule. All but St. Bonaventure were played on the road.
