Cap'Roo, I disagree with you and agree with UAdavid. It was the worst organized event that I have attended! We were there for the team, yet they were not introduced, the Coaches were there, but again no intros, comments on upcoming season. We were moved three times for the food line, then ran out of drinks, etc.Payers were great, that's all I can say.

Several posters are unhappy with the BB non legue schedule, how about if you are a Buckeye fan, and THREE of your games are with northeast Ohio teams, Akron, Can't, Youngstown. How do you feel about paying $60 plus for a ticket?

The moving A goes back to the Faust era. The logo was changed to distinquish Akron, from ever other colleges that begins with an A, i.e. Arizona, Arkansas,, excetra, excetra, and so on and so forth!I think the new logo is great. I don't like it with the oval, everthing gets lost, but just the A and Roo head is great. I does not look like a donkey, if anything, more like the Penn State animal.

Hey. if you're in State College, you can't forget the Creamery, which is about 2 blocks up from the stadium. Their ice cream is the full fat kind. Penn State offers a BS in Ice Cream making. They don't put any restrictions on their receips, so some of the major ice crem makers pick up ideas from here and market it under their own brand name.

Yes, a full time head coach at UofA was paid 30K a year (Fox), that's why you would see him at sporting events/activities with a camera. He took pics for the "non-revenue" sports, pics of athletics for the various media guides.I don't know why we have a women's tennis team, they have nothing, have not done well since Bard left years ago.

Well Balki, wrong again! I hang the same as you, maybe better, but to rebuff your statement, the softball players I had contact with liked Julie, her methods, and drive. There was never any hint as to her gender likes, or assocations. I've been a Zip for a long time, but I know just what Akron is, can do, and how it pays and who it plays, along with the MAC. It was pretty sad when Florida's asistant women's soccer coach was paid more than our men's head soccer coach. How would you like to be paid $30K a year as a head coach for one of our programs?Akron for many years was perceived as a city college by our Bodad of Trustees, little money was directed to athletics so once the move started it was hard to make the change. If you talk to Administration, not the athletic department, you will learn that it is next to impossible to bridge the gap; Akron will always be behind and pushing up. We can love and support the Zips through attendance and CONTRIBUTIONS, but we must also be realistic as to just what the University can do athletically.The Big Ten will always be better than the MAC, we are not on the same level, will never be on that level, a position as assistant coach at ANY Big Ten university is better than the same coaching postion at a MAC school.We have lost some great football coaches to universities at the next level, (Terrell, Jim) and ass-hole remarks were not made to or about them. I guess we can only reasonably talk about football and related items on this site, and sh-t talk about everything else not connected with football.It's small minded guys like you that makes me want to squeeze the ----------- out of you!I rarely make comments on this site because of the likes of you and IntheZONE, and BIGZIP with the black beard.

I had not read all of the comments regarding Julie Wright leaving, so I want to add Balki Bartokomous to my previous comments.The gals on the softball team LOVED her, she had SOO muuch drive and enthousism, they learned more from her than in all the years Parker was coach. She was the bitch. Get you facts straight.

Inthezone-----Will you ever change your pic which shows you wearing a K-ent cap, or is it because you're a K-ent fan in deguise, trying to make commits that cover your true connection, and it just doesn't come off.I don't think you EVER attended a UofA soccer or softball game, but you can make comments about both coaches leaving without ever have any contact with either of these coaches.I'm sick of your pic and sick of your comments!

One has to have MONEY to be able to build a stadium. Taft (the education governor)is such a POOR governor regarding education, Ohio is ranked 49th in monies directed to education and associated items. Mississippi is 50th!Thee are NO BIG money donors, we have less that 1/3 of money required to start up a stadium.If any of you on this board know somone who has millions to direct to a stadium, tell them to contact Development. Until then, NO announcement is forth coming!

Hey "IntheZone" when are you going to change your picture, I commented before about your K-ent State cap that you are wearing as you display you Zip poster!

UIC stands for University of Illinois @ Chicago. Sinsus played his freshman year there before transferring to Akron.

Who is Scott Taylor?

I have to say I too loved that cartoon and I HATE OSU!! They get more than their share of State funding. I'm a Michigan fan only because I HATE OSU.Run that again at the next home game.

I like the sign "In the Zone" is holding up regarding the Zips and BCS, but why does he has a Knet cap on under hiz hood?

At Ball we shot 3-13, but normally we're better. We have 5 or 6 who can hit the 3, even our center. We have 2 freshman who are really coming on strong and contribute. Our point guard is great at assists and has very few turnovers. Dambrot pushes defense and we play even or plus on rebounds. Students should be back and hopefully in force Sat. A zip win.
