Ryno aka Menace

I thought you meant the outcome of the Bowl game.

I totally agree, The Beacon Journal doesn't even come close to the sports coverage that the repository has!

I think the Browns actually have a chance to beat the Steelers, they have been so inconsistent. the Steelers need this win to keep playoff hopes alive. But The Browns havent' been blown out by anyone yet except one game by Cinnci. I predict a Browns win.

Ticket sales are important..very important if you disagree check out this article. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls05/news/story?id=2266118

ditto I like the way it sounds no lets see it all come together

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The University of Central Florida is set to build a $51 million stadium for its vastly improved football team. The school's board of trustees on Wednesday approved a financial plan for the 45,000-seat stadium, which could open for the 2007 football season. The Golden Knights have made the second-biggest turnaround in NCAA history. They went from 0-11 last season to 8-4, playing for the Conference USA championship and going to a bowl for the first time. UCF will play Nevada on Dec. 24 in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2260154 I have heard speculation about where the new stadium could be...by the Polsky building, Lee Jackson, Central Hower, etc. Has anyone heard about the estimated costs and seating capacity? And do you think when Akron wins this bowl game it will spark another push for a new stadium?

Thanks, Capt. one more question did you hand paint them, run through through a printer?

I am at 10 currently...Go Zips!

LOL pretty funny guys uh I don't know about the poop nuggets though?! And I definately won't be wearing a damn Can't hat!!!

I am going to the game and wanna make a sign for the nation to read. I would like it to be something about believing, or determination, A suggestions i have gotten from afriend Don't Believe in Santa Don't Believe in EasterBunny But I Believe in the Zips! I am gonna make atleast 4 signs! sign #1 Zipsnation.org "roohead here" GO ZIPS!! Sign #2 "E.S.P.N." and #3and #4will come from here!! Thanks in advance

Aww Man I am taking 12 people to the game and I was told to go to Hockeytown and now you are the 3rd person to say it sucked or it was O.K., I wanna make this a fun trip for my family and friends so I don't have to beg them to come to the game and support AU.

actually perception I have seen Chris Wells play it was against Barberton and I wasn't that impressed I just figured it was that game, so if I had to make a decision based on that "one" game I would have to agree with you. But there is no way you could get nationally ranked and play subpar football every week.

Chris is just weighing all of his options, players have changed their minds after a verbal commitment. But I agree with others he will not be a zip, but recruits come in atleast 10 at a time, If JD is smart he would bring in other "no chance of signing with the zips" in with Wells to show hey the number one recruit in Ohio and country per some experts, is considering Akron. I know what JD is telling Wells...You can either be a guaranteed star or the possiblity of being a big star.

I think we have nothing to worry about, JD's resume is still to short. And believe me as long as he has a personal relationship with Mike Shanahan opportunities will always be avalible when he is ready. We have nothing to worry about, the only thing that would concern me would be if he persued them and not the other way around.

Is anyone arriving Sunday night? If so do you think anything will be open since it is Christmas night?

My family and I are arriving the evening of the 25th, we are trying to figure out what to do seeing that it is Christmas and I am sure alot of places will be closed. I think we are going to go to Windsor Canada and gamble a little, then get up in the morning and tailgate! P.S. We are staying at the Marriott as well!!

yeah i saw it...it was done sooo awsomely. Man if I was JB i would show it to new recruits. Show them the we are recognized as a team on the rise!!

I saw in your post you said you made your own I would very much like to get one so I can put it on my car for the game!! I will be decked out in AU clothing. And for those not going to the game please advertise your school also.

That money is sent to the MAC and split between the 13 schools. What?!! Are you sure about that the site says "per team" check the link...

Motor City Bowl plays Big Ten 7th place finisher...currently that is Minnesota, but Purdue is number 8 to bad I would like to replay them and see how we would do I think we would do alot better. Minnesota has another good tailback Laurence Maroney....anyone think we could shut him down?

I agree soccer needs their own field not a shared one. This is a D1 program we need to act like it....and speaking of money payouts man here are some numbers for ya!! WYNDHAM NEW ORLEANS BOWL 750K per team POINSETTIA BOWL 750K per team GMAC BOWL 750K per team PIONEER PURE VISION LAS VEGAS BOWL 800K per team MASTERCARD ALAMO BOWL 1.35 million per team PACIFIC LIFE HOLIDAY BOWL 2 million per team NOKIA SUGAR BOWL 13.5 million per team SBC COTTON BOWL CLASSIC 3 million per team Here is the link to the bowl payouts for this year!

What does JB make now? Does anyone know? I disagree with giving him more money right away, he is happy to be a coach if you listen to him talk about going from Denver to Pitt to Akron. He loves coaching money is not an issue for him. Let's upgrade the stadium first to attact more recruits, you see it is already working by getting an indoor facility and upgrades to the campus.

The payout for going to the Motor City Bowl is 780K per team. Use that money for the new stadium. Hopefully that will speed things up!!

Request 1: A MAC Champion shirt and hat Request 2: Free tickets to the bowl game for students and x-players..(I still can't believe I am saying bowl game!)
