Ianello could lose every game this year and he will still be the coach. Unless some rich booster comes up with the money to pay the remainder of his contract, we are stuck with him. UA does not have the money to get rid of him. Its a classic Catch-22 situation.

Post of the year for football!

Nice analysis GP1. My sons 7th grade team runs a more complex offense. If that doesn't change we are going to have a long season.

If you respond to the post, YOU are the fool. Why do you feel the need to respond to every stupid post Zach makes? Do you really think you can convert the kid? Seriously? As I said previously, those who respond are EQUALLY to blame as those who start it. Stop responding, and the posts will disappear. Keep responding, and they remain visible. You way isn't working. Try mine if you really care about the board's quality. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it really make a noise?

They did just to make the NY Times look bad. You know how those Texans operate!

Ron Ledgard, the sports editor at the ABJ is a pretty good guy. He has limited resources and understands we are in a pro sports market, but I think they have done a better job in the last year or so promoting the Zips. There are lots of stories he would like to see in the paper, but he is limited by the actual size of the paper. The more papers sold and the more clicks on the on line stories, the more likely we are to see more written about the Zips.

I am doing my best to help the situation. Someone finally made me use this; How to "get rid" of a poster by yourself , Manage Ignored Users

My heart wants to think its going to be a close game, but my head says Captain is right on the mark.

I knew that eventually someone would end up on my Ignore List.

This is the best Ianello story yet. I learned about him from this article than all the others put together. There is hope!

Thats a good question. I would guess there were over 200 at the end of the year banquet and around 100 at the golf outing. Good luck and if you make it happen I will be there.

Let us know when you get back from Fantasy Island!

Nothing against Akron, but if you are comparing Akron to Pittsburgh's urban decay!?!....you have lost your mind. You have obviously not been to Pittsburgh in this decade. Pittsburgh is home to NHL, NFL & MLB, plus Duquesne and the University of Pittsburgh. Consol Energy Center-of the Penguins is brand new, PNC Park, Heinz Field, and the Petersen Event Center are all newer. The Rivers casino is brand new, and is awesome. They have beautiful waterfronts, Duquesne and Monongahela Inclines, Zoo, Aquarium, Conservatory, Botanical Gardens, Station Square and the Stript district. Pittsburgh is the world record holder for bridges (446) within city limits, beating out Venice, Italy, the previous record holder by 3 bridges. I would not lump Pittsburgh in with your urban decay examples. Maybe you should change your screen name to Dr PittZip!

I get it that a nice country club setting is preferred and I'm thrilled to hear it's well attended. Do you think having a dinner or cookout with some speakers including Coach D would be a well attended financially productive addition to the Men's fundraising efforts? Perhaps you should call Amanda Aller and request a meeting with coach Dambrot to present your idea to him. I would imagine if someone was willing to put the work into setting up such an event, KD would be glad to attend.

Having the event start early is better on a weekday, leaving the opportunity for the participants to still get to the office for part of the day. If you're trying to attract large $$ donors you don't hold your event at a run of the mill public golf course. Most country clubs are closed on Mondays and do not host non-member events on weekends. The players have not attended this event in the past. They are in school.

Do you think they broadcast those games for free?

Go to Google Ad Preferences to manage yours.

That is the way you keep a happy fan base. Glad to see someone step up and make things right.

Kind of like preaching to the choir. If the ad is focused on Wagner, it's a good one. Now carry that theme throughout the city. Make it visible to Zips fans that aren't fanatics. The ones that would be on the edge if they started winning, or it was a nice day and they had nothing to do. Push those folks out the door. When you place that kind of advertisement with Google, they ask you what Key Words you want their search engine to look for. I would hope that they include anyone who reads the sports sections of Ohio.com, TheRep.com and Cleveland.com. The advertiser is charged for each time someone clicks on the banner ad.

Anyplace would be better for the Zips broadcasts than that joke of a station.

That advertising is called Google Ad Words. Those banner ads are presented directly to you based on your internet use history. Not everyone who goes to that site sees the Zips ticket offer. Only people like you who have shown that they might be interested, based on their surfing history. If you didn't spend time at ZN.O or Gozips.com, you would never see the ad. Do an experiment and start shopping for a new car. If you concentrate on one type of car, pretty soon ads for that car will follow you all over the internet.

Sounds like a leader to me. We definately need a leader at QB.

Is this how every thread is going to be from now on?

I like to visit old restaurants and bars when I return to the area. I remember Yokono's is in the area..maytry that again for lunch on Monday after I stop at the WPM. Thanks Yocono's was sold a few years back and is nowhere near the same place it was when owned by the family. They were shutdown for a while earlier this year for failing to pay their taxes. Larry's Main Entrance would be my choice of a Walhaven eating place. any restaurant that doesn't accept credit/debit cards is asking for trouble. Not sure what you mean there BY. Larrys take all forms of payment, did you mean Yocono's? BTW, Luigis only takes cash or checks. Good luck getting a table there on a weekend.
