Throw the hotdog. The guy is a lowlife.

Sorry that your life hasn't worked out as planned. You should seek out some counseling instead of making rants on a sports fan message board

It's always 5 o'clock somewhere!

Exactly! As long as other departments and organizations can use athletics as a negotiating tool to protect their turf, things will never improve. If other programs had to operate under the financial reporting requirements fostered on Athletics, every one of them would look terrible.

They might have paid $10. It's all they can afford!

Don't take my comments as personal criticism of your ideas. I wish there were an easy way to raise the money too. Expand the quote boxes to see my comments.

2024 Ohio High School Championships
Hilltopper replied to GJGood's topic in Akron Zips Football Recruiting
448 teams make the playoffs across 7 divisions. -
Everything was fine with athletics at the mid majors until the injection of big sums of money generated by cable TV. Then it became an arms race they had no chance of winning. Once the folks down on the farm were able to watch top notch competition for free on TV, why would they continue to support the local college? NIL and free agency will be the final nail in the coffin for the MAC and their ilk getting any notoriety on a national level. All that's going on right now in football is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I can hear the band playing.

When diamonds are mined they are in a raw form. It takes time and a skilled technician to create the facets that turn them into something of value and beauty.

That project has been in the works for quite a while. Glad to see it getting completed.

You're reading way to much into this. Brookhart's Summit Circle announcement had nothing to do with Guthrie's departure. Most of those announcements take place weeks after the commitment was made.

That game was in 1969.

This totally sums up the KSU mentality. jackattack108 • 6h ago • Am I the only one who’s a little disgusted by the actual near fight here? UC Irvine coach is getting crap talked by Kent State coaches while Kent state players come up and try to flex and look hard real close to the other team and the entire Kent state bench pushes forward. If this was 2 Kent states it’s a fight over nothing. UC Irvine meanwhile controlled all their players, let Kent state talk crap, backed up to give them their space. Not a good look for Kent state imo

More Cuts coming to Akron ...
Hilltopper replied to ZipCat's topic in General UA & Campus Discussion
I'm hearing the professor to student ratio is way out of whack in the polymer program. -
I think the weeknight games exposed how the MAC was willing to whore itself out for a few bucks. Also, lots of potential recruits from warm southern states saw just how cold and miserable it was to play a night game in November in the north. That has coincided with the rise of the southern schools growth as large swaths of northerners have migrated to warmer climates.

Snow bowl game.

What happened to that beating a dead horse emoji?

Nothing is going to happen very fast in regards to hiring a new AD. Dr J is the acting head of the athletic department right now. With all the other personnel issues facing the university right now, hiring a new AD isn't at the top of the list.

Lyles helped to the locker room with his ankle wrapped in ice. Doesn't look good. -

It's pretty clear the 2 best players are Tavari and Amani. Their experience in Groce's system showed tonight.
