That'll stick it to those big government blowhards. Thank goodness those funds are being sent to Illinois. Can you imagine the demand for train rides from Chicago to Springfield? Someone pinch me, I'm dreaming of the possibilities. What about the demand for train rides from NY to Chicago? Without an Ohio rail program, will that ever become a reality? It's really about interstate travel. Nobody's going to ride a train to a place they can get to on one tank of gas. It's about providing an alternative to air travel. There already is train service from NY city to Chicago. The Lakeshore Limited. It had a problem this week. Amtrak Loco Catches fire in Elyria

It looks like he won't be playing by the 8th of January. There was a pretrial hearing today and they pushed things back for 3 weeks in order to conduct an investigation. The next hearing date is 1-14-11. He was released on a $10,000 signature bond.

Doing my best Zipmeister impersonation: I hope he doesn't sell it for some tattoos!

Final Miami 69 Akron 61

I sure hope once you get off that train your final destination is within walking distance.

I just tried to get an update to this story at the Record courier website. I found 2 stories about Can't State basketball players problems with the law. Both of them are locked and you can't read them unless you are a paid subscriber. It appears that the powers at the RC don't want anybody seeing Can't State's dirty laundry. Those articles where the only ones which you need special access to view. What a croc of S#$t. http://www.recordpub.com/ http://www.recordpub.com/news/locked_article

I'm sure its all just a big misunderstanding. Once the Can't State athletic department gets things straightened out with police evrything will be back to normal. I wish we could recruit a guy with his "Skills".

This game played-out as it did because McNees couldn't throw it in the hoop if he he was sitting on Zeke's back, in the paint. It is nice to have Brett back. Decent scorer, senior who's been on all the bus trips to the far-reaches of Michigan and Indiana, etc. No doubt he's a nice, "mid-season acquisition." But unless he drank some of Conyers' Patented Radioactive Senior Elixir, he is what he is. +++++100 If Steve makes 2 or 3 of those bricks, the game is over at the end of regulation. I'm more worried about Steves transition to SG, it really helps if he makes a few shots.

Thanks for sharing your inner self. It makes it easier to understand some of your other posts. Save it, you can keep your warm and fuzzy "I'm this really tolerant, white-guilt ridden white guy who wants everyone to know it even though I've never talked to a black person in my life" act for someone who cares. I grew up in a majority black school, my teammates were majority black throughout my entire athletic career, and those teammates are some of my closest friends in life who are like brothers to me, 3 of which were in my wedding. You're not gonna sit here and imply that I'm a racist just so you can feel all nice and politically correct, when all I did was state an obvious truth. It's because of j@ck@#$es like you that people are afraid to have honest conversations in society. Pitt has never had a black head football coach and I'm sure the fact that Haywood was black factored heavily into their decision to reach for him. I'm sure if there was a white coach in the same position, Pitt would've probably looked elsewhere or been more hesitant. Skin color is a fact of life in football coaching nowadays, with teams at all levels under pressure to hire black candidates, especially teams that have never had a black coach. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, as it's given guys like Mike Tomlin an opportunity to succeed where in the past he'd probably still be a secondary coach somewhere. This thread implied a possible analogy to RI. I was simply saying that RI is not as likely to get a big job offer after one good season like this guy did. Thats a really ignorant statement there ITZ. You don't know a darn thing about Dave and if you did you would never post that kind of nonsense. As to your first paragraph, whats even more offensive are people who declare themselves not racist because "they have Black friends".

Green Schools are not "in turmoil", but we are trying to pass a new levy. If the levy doesn't pass there will be some cuts of teaching positions. Tom Stacy is a Phys-ed teacher at the high school. Phys-ed is a required course, you have to take it in order to graduate. Most likely, the teaching positions that are eliminated will be for elective courses not required for graduation. He could possibly be bumped by someone with more tenure, but the other 2 phys-ed teachers currently have less tenure than Stacy. I guess its possible that Stacy mat want to get back into coaching at the collegiate level, but I haven't heard anything that would make me think that was true. Stacy has worked hard to improve Green's football program and the results of those labors are just starting to pay off. I would be surprised if he left, but anything is possible. I'll check around and see if there is any truth to this rumor and report back. ps; I find it humorous that every time I use spell check on a quoted post involving Zac, it wants me to change Zach's name to Schlep!

He just verbaled William & Mary according to Scout. Had more FCS offers than FBS ones. I don't think we're hurting too badly in the future QB department. In addition to Dylan Potts who got some playing time this season, Zach D'Orazio will be on campus next month, and we have 3-star Kyle Pohl coming in as well. And if Matt Rodgers ever gets healthy, we have plenty of depth and hopefully one of them turns out to be a game-changer. I disagree on the QB depth issue. Potts and D'Orazio are both spread offense QBs. More runners than passers.

Yeah, I agree. All incoming freshmen should be guaranteed 25 minutes per game. It should then increase by 5 minutes per game until their senior year when they are playing 40 minutes. How dare KD base player minutes on what he thinks makes sense. If things keep going the way they are now, the Zips will never have a winning program.

No. There were that many there, or very close to it, during the first half. In the second half, it did start to resemble Infocision. You're slipping Meister, I fixed it for you!

I don't see a problem drinking in the union...they have a liquor license and a cooler filled with brew. I've been to events at the JAR where alcohol wa served.

Thanks!

When is Soccer going to get a place on the ZN.O homepage? Perhaps you could replace the "20 top posters today" with a link to the Soccer Board. I think they deserve more respect.

Here is an account from a local fan. He is a long standing member of Big Soccer. This looks like the best explanation so far. http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.ph...p;postcount=277

All I can say is that I was told this by someone who; 1. Was at the game. 2. Is a former soccer official. 3. Is currently a Head soccer coach at a local high school. What ever happened, it sure is a strange scenario.

And now for the rest of the story; the SJ was removed by the head referee for cheering for the Zips. After Akron scored he cheered.

I wonder why a guy who "Quit" had to be escorted by the police off the the field last night? Maybe his "Grip on reality " is messed up also. Or maybe its because he was ejected from the game? Caption from the photo in ABJ.

Yeah, right after I shelled out $6 for 2 cups for my kids.

I have a letter written to my grandfather from a kid he taught in high school in WVA in the 1930's. The kid was a star athlete and was recruited to play football at Tennessee. UT was a powerhouse program at the time. In the letter he describes how demanding the football coaches were and how he wished he was getting Paid more than he agreed to for all this hard work. He even related that the baseball coach wanted him to come out for the team but he wasn't willing to pay him enough to make it worth his time. The more things change, the more they remain the same. http://books.google.com/books?id=Ict_Axi_0...p;q&f=false

Based on past performance, I wouldn't expect much in the way of answers to any questions.
