The golf was fun, it rained on us at the luncheon, and Dambrot didn't tell us anything that hasn't already been discussed here.

Those exact same discussions are taking place a UA right now. Believe me, there are a large # of those who run UA who would love to see all sports programs disappear.

I haven't read the article. The questions I would like to know are: 1. Do you believe the ESPN special was over the top and would you do it again? 2. Do you understand why the ESPN special would lead some to believe you are a self-absorbed jackass? 3. Do you plan on firing the clowns you have managing your career or do you think their idea to have the ESPN special was a good one? 4. Do you ever plan on marrying the mother of your two children or do you stay single so you can bang girls in every NBA city? 5. If you win a ring in Miami, do you believe it will be tainted because you were Wade's wingman and you couldn't do it on your own? I would love someone to ask those questions. I've never really held leaving Cleveland against LBJ. He is grown man who can do whatever he wants to do. I think the way he did it tells a lot about him and I think we are going to find out a lot more about him when he settles in Miama.....and I think a lot of it may not reflect in a positive way on him. +1

Few will arrive to tailgate before 1pm. I'm sure you will have no problem finding a large space to set up. Since the conversion to digital TV, not all network stations can be easily viewed in Akron. I'm guessing one or two is the best you can hope. We'll be in Lot #9, directly behind the main scoreboard. If you want to stop in for a beer before you enter the gate, just let me know. Thanks I'm telling everyone we are tearing down NLT 5pm. I hope to be walking through Lot 9 by 5:30 pm...hopefully enough time to have a quick one. I'd like to be in my seat by kickoff. Man I'm getting excited...hmmmm maybe I'll start setup by Noon. Let's hope for no rain, light winds and 76-78 degrees (just warm enough for the coeds to wear shorts and tank tops). That sucks about the TV reception. Mark, just get one of these and you can still watch TV at your tailgate party.

Ennis seems to act like Favre...but I don't think the Zips are as desperate for Ennis as the Vikings are for Favre. I owe it to the fans It looks like your Vikings got their man. Maybe the Zips will be so lucky.

I wouldn't give up on landing Enis just yet. To me the odd man out looks like Green. He better come in and tear it up if he ever expects to play with all that frontcourt depth.

I'm a 40 year season ticket holder and I recieved my tickets this week. I got a pass to lot #9 also, 2 in fact. Last year I was in lot #13 which was OK with me. I am also wondering who were the lot #9 winners and losers this season. Will lot #9 be tailgate central again this season, or will the activities move to a new location?

Semaj Christon has been offered by the Zips. This could be our guy.

He's a regular customer at my business. When he is in town(Canton), we see him a couple of times a month.

Me Too!

I got to spend some time today with former Zips standout Jimmal Ball. He still looks great and loves playing in France. He lives in Paris and really enjoys the freewheeling lifestyle of a young single man, if you get my drift. He has now played 10 seasons in Europe. Stats If anyone can speak French, here is his fan site. www.jimmalball.com He has played most of his career in France, but did spend a couple of seasons in Germany and one very memorable season in Kosovo. It looks to that the 3 time French MVP won't be hanging it up anytime soon. BTW, his all time best vertical was 38" and when he left school was a Zips record.

This guy is the new addition. Demetrius Treadwell He is going to be a prop 48. He will be roommates with Nick Haney. This kid is a major talent. lets hope he can get eligible.

I'm on the fence about playing in this event. I haven't made one in the past due to other commitments, but this year I might be able to make time. I'm up to my eyeballs renovating a rental property I own and not sure if I can take a whole day off to play. What is the format, scramble or some type of 4 man best ball? I haven't played Portage CC in quite a while. It's not too long, but has fairly tight fairways. I would love to compete against some of my fellow ZN.O members for bragging rights.

Wow, looking at those poll #'s I see no respect for our leader, CK. I do like the GP1, ITZ combo. It would be like Howard and Dandy Don all over again.

The Zips need a new color guy for the radio brodcasts. Who from ZNO should apply? Sorry if I offended anyone by not putting your name in my poll. http://www.ohio.com/sports/100360304.html

You'd be surprised how many student-athletes have kids. I'm sure your right about that. I just don't understand why this kid is making things difficult for himself. A baby is just one more obstacle and distraction. He has talent, but I question his work ethic and priorities.

Howards baby momma gave birth to his child a week or so ago. Just one more reason that he will never see the field for anybody.

It looks like ESPN is now regreting their decision to put LBJ on primetime. ESPN calls Foul. Full Report

23x4....the cumulative IQ of the folks in the picture??? .....

Bernie didn't go willingly. The fact that he got a Superbowl ring, is a totally different situation than how LeBum is leaving town.

Since it appears that you are an expert on those topics, why don't you start one.

Z-P nailed it. My son is just about to start his 5th year of youth football. The most serious injuries if have seen were caused by large piles and limbs being twisted and fallen on. The equipment and the rules prevent almost any highspeed collisions. His helmets fit his head like a glove and the shoulder pads really do work to prevent injuries.

Look here if you are his friend.
