Alleman was waived.Arthur was waived too.

Luke Getsy hasn't even gotten a look since last year.Nate Robinson was waived. Remember the rumors he was going to declare last year.Reggie Corner has been working with the first-team defense.Jabari Arthur has not been making much news, neither has Kris Kasparek or Davanzo TateOf course Jason Taylor will be out 10 - 14 days.Charlie Frye will start the game tonight.Andy Alleman attended the Wetland Watcher 10th anniversary celebration this offseason. The Wetland Watcher environmental group is a program that teaches students about the preservation and conservation of wetlands. CK, Dwight Lowery is worked with the first-team defense during the media-access portion of practice today. For some reason I still don't see him on GoZips.

US New and World ReportYou have to pay to find out the methodology of the rankings.

They're called "trolls". They do it because it the only way they can get their kicks is to piss other people off. They like to create reactions, possibly because it is the only way they know how to get other people to aknowledge their existance. Their situation is a sad one, being the lowest of internet life-forms.Ha! Spot-on description. They are truly pathetic.It is probably a beacon employee stirring up discuss to get more hits on their website so they can charge more for advertising.

This can't happen. Jason Whitlock has them in the BCS. Fox SportsThe Ball State Cardinals are going to run the table and make a bid to crash the BCS bowl party. I (spit) you not.The Cardinals are loaded. In Nate Davis, they have quite possibly the quarterback with the most pro potential in the college game. Davis' favorite target is Wes Welker clone, Dante Love. The Cards have a 6-foot-6 tight end, Darius Hill, who can't be stopped in the red zone. Their right tackle, Robert Brewster, is one of the nation's best run blockers. Ball State punter, Chris Miller, is a two-time Playboy All-American. Ball State is this year's Boise State.They are going to run the table? Anybody with a 2 time Playboy All-American Punter is a lock to run the table.

Razor says Devoe may be coming aboard. As many have said here, JD's job maybe in jeopardy. The decision to offer a scholarship is easier if he may be gone next year.Rasor on the Zips

I noticed on the PD Blog that they mentioned Zeke and how thin he was. Other notes from Alexander's blog...In the rafters: Four larger-than-life banners of camp host LeBron James hang from the rafters in Rhodes Arena. They are beside the names and faces of several Akron Zips greats -- Eric McLaughlin, Joe Jakubick, Larry Jenkins and Len Paul. In the opposite rafters is a banner that says "Men's Basketball, MAC Champions, 1998 and 2007." Big problem. The Zips have never won a MAC Championship. Ball State and Western Michigan tied for the MAC Championship in 1998, each finishing 14-4, 21-8. Toledo won the MAC Championship in 2007 finishing 14-2, 19-13. Akron won the East Division in 1998 and 2007, but no MAC championships. And it will be interesting to see if all the Nike reps have much to say to their campus hosts from Akron, who are clearly decked out in adidas gear. Akron is an adidas school in every sport except basketball.

Is he? I just looked and there's no mention of him on there.I checked it out also and all I found was:21 Brinson Ryan DB 5' 9" 180 (McKinley)My bad, I was looking for HarveySorry I didn't clarify, I was pointing out Brinson.

He is listed on the Legends' 2008 roster still.Canton Legends RosterLooks like he played in 12 games, starting 3.

What is the turn out for this looking like? I can't make it unfortunately.

Sure do ... and Akron is officially "The University of Akron." My point is that if it doesn't really matter what we call Akron, then it must not really matter what we call Ashland (or insert your favorite school) ... "The University of Ashland" and "U Ashland" both sound good to me just as "Akron University" and "Akron U" are acceptable to some.An old can of worms for sure ... I just feel it is more respectful to use the proper name.To satisfy everyone maybe we should always say "The University of Akron University"

Ryan Brinson is playing DB for the Canton Legends.

That's a telephone pole.

Is it on Channelsurfing.net? I can't seem to get it.

Down on the southside of downtown I also like Bricco and the food in the restaurant inside of the Posh Nightclub is great! Of course I'm very excited to see what establishments move in once the new 4-story apartment complex is built!Check out this website for Downtown Dining. http://www.downtownakron.com/dine/

That was Willy. He is nothing short if legendary and has been that way for the Rowdies for the past 2-3 years.Is he the guy who dressed up like the blind ref? That was classic.

I thought the same thing... is he tired?

1.) Players who make free throws2.) A good time keeper3.) Quality officiating that can tell when the time keeper has made an error

Per Forbes.com, although it may not be as saturated with students as some of the other areas on the list, Akron is anything but lacking in the education department. Encompassing 76 districts, Akron offers public and private schooling with 89% and 11% of students, respectively, attending each. Note the picture of LBJ.Columbus is number 6.It is pretty cool to have 2 of the top 6 in the state. To bad everyone leaves.

I turned on ESPNU just in time to see Dionte' Henry pick off a pass in the DII Semifinal against Valdosta State. See his bio:Dionte' HenryVSU vs. PA Score
