When you get snubbed by a bush tourney like the NIT, I guess it just proves that the MAC is an even more bush league.

Per SI.comIt appears that Stan Heath's run at Arkansas will end after this season. The Morning News of Northwest Arkansas, citing an anonymous source close to the men's basketball program, reported this week that Heath needs to coach the Razorbacks to the NCAA Tournament to keep his job.-- Florida Times-Union

What's the deal with ESPN.com calling Romeo "Big Loverman.""This game should come down to whether or not APSU can handle the Big Loverman, Akron's 6-7 senior Romeo Travis (13.7 ppg)."Did I miss something somewhere or has he always been called this?

14 to 7 Akron 7 min in.

Super Bowl Commercial LinkPer my email for the U of A today:"If you plan to watch the Super Bowl in Northeast Ohio, keep an eye out for our newest TV commercial. We have aired regional Super Bowl spots every year since 2000, reaching an average of about 1.4 million people in our market. These regional ads cost a fraction of the national spots, which have themselves become part of the Super Bowl experience. The ad focuses on the University's energy, excellence and opportunity, using dozens of campus images and some of the latest editing technology."

Slick.Our FT % is freakin' awful. Are we praticing our FTs with the LeBronaliers.

I've never read an essay that well thought out before.

I read that comment and thought it was pretty funny. Maury always ruining a debonair style.

johnnyzip84,Nice red nose on the Roo.

I don't know what to think really...25,000 seats, expandable, potential for roof, could accomodate Professional and NCAA soccer, possiblity of relocating all or part of the Heisman Lodge from the Rubber Bowl?,...$53,000,000 in bonds

Ark.-Little Rock 67, Minnesota 66 Minnesota RPI is 181

Did anyone else get a "Season Greetings" for the U of A alumni? Here is a the Season Greetings.I thought it was a cool idea. Is Merry Christmas too offensive though?

It's true:Per Cincinnati Enquirer.Per 1530 HOMER in Cincinnati.

See ESPNU's video highlights. Mostly of WMU.

You can add -13 yards against WMU to that now...

All I have is ESPN Gamecast and it is 10 - 0 WMU in the 3rd QTR. For some reason they have Andy Hildreth, a soph Punter, in at QB. I am sure that is an error by ESPN. Kennedy is averaging less the 1.5 ypa.

Biggest Quitter: Dionte HenryIf I'm not mistaken, didn't he quit the team after losing his starting position this spring.Workout Freak: Andy Alleman

I went to look at the box score for the Tiffin game at "Official Athletics Site of The University of Akron" and they provide a broken link for the box score. Nicely done.

Watch Eric Mansfield weeknights at 6:30 & 10 p.m. on Time Warner Cable 23Akron Canton 23I really never have watched.

Did anyone notice the graphic they put up before BGSU's FG. The had the MAC standings and they were wrong. They had Akron at 2-3 in the MAC and 4-5 overall. Awful.

Per the yahoo.com's boxscore, the attendance was 14,512. Only 2,000 showed, wow.

Per FoxSports.com Taylor had a heck of a game. He had a 3 tackles, 1 interception that he returned for a touchdown, 1 forced fumble, and got that 100th career sack.

Super university unrealistic, YSU president saysPrint StoryEmail to FriendDiscuss this storyThe overall study goal would be to lower costs and increase opportunities. By HAROLD GWIN VINDICATOR EDUCATION WRITER YOUNGSTOWN —The president of Youngstown State University would prefer the state Legislature fund existing collegiate collaborative efforts rather than spend money on studying ways to link five northeastern Ohio universities. Dr. David C. Sweet, addressing the YSU Academic Senate Wednesday, stopped short of openly criticizing a legislative proposal to create a Northeast Ohio University Study Commission that would look at linking YSU, the University of Akron, Can't State University, Cleveland State University and the Northeast Ohio Universities College of Medicine in terms of some level of governance, student resources, administration and programs. The institutions would keep their separate identities but would be linked with a common goal of increasing student opportunities and lowering student costs. The makeup of that commission would include one representative from each university but nine political appointees, including three House and three Senate members, and that could be problematic, Sweet said. A clear mandate and appropriate funding would be welcome, but YSU already has a strong foundation of collaborative efforts with other institutions and less formal collaborative projects involving individual faculty from different universities, Sweet said. It would be better for the state to fund and expand those initiatives than to spend money on a study commission, he said. There are existing opportunities the legislature needs to fund that can increase access and transferability between institutions, he said. There are some backing the study who would like to see a "super university" created for northeast Ohio, but that's not realistic, Sweet said. Discussions on the concept of a new system of higher education in Ohio have been going on for more than a year, and those discussions have intensified since mid-September, he said. The Cleveland State Board of Trustees passed a resolution Oct. 5 asking the general assembly to create a Northeast Ohio Higher Education Council involving Cleveland State, Can't, Akron and YSU to look at program partnering and ways to enhance academic offerings while maintaining their individual identities, Sweet said. The University of Akron trustees endorsed that study proposal on Oct. 20, he said. YSU's Board of Trustees will take up the issue Nov. 17, Sweet said.

Isn't that just like all of the Univeristies of Californias, i.e.UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara,... See link: www.universityofcalifornia.edu They seem to be able to do it and all of the schools maintain their identities. I don't like the idea of Can't being involved. If it makes tuition decrease, that is all that matters.

Jason Taylor is closing in on 100 sacks. Per the article, Taylor will become the 23rd player to reach the 100 milestone. How about that for the Akron Zip!
