We saw Zeke at the football game on Saturday. He is limping and wearing an ankle brace on his right leg. Hope its nothing serious.

It looks like the NCAA is not too thrilled with Martins outburst.NCAA Slaps down Martin

It looked to me that there was quite a wind blowing from north to south. Stecs' bad punt was into the wind.

If a politician is a Republican, they get a pass from their own party on things like cheating on a wife or soliciting sex in an airport bathroom. I don't think a beer bong will hurt his career.Rasor has all he needs to be a successful politician in northern Summit County suburbs. First, I believe he goes to The Chapel. The Chapel, like many new Christian churches, is as much cult-like social club as it is a place of worship. It falls right into the Republican's playbook of "us vs. them". "Us" means those that believe what we do and belong to our little group. "Them" means....well, I'm not certain they even know what it means. These churches also serve as recruiting tools for the modern day Republican party which has become more liberal than FDR with guys like Bush 43 and follows the intellectual lead of lightweights like Sean Hannity and neo-conservatives (code word for big government liberals). There was once a time when great thinkers of small government like William F. Buckley were the intellectual leaders of the Republican party (Buckley would have vomited out his bong water on neo-conservatives). Now, high school graduates and Sunday Christians have taken over that role. I honestly don't believe many modern day Republicans believe the childishly legalistic theology they are forced to spew for political purposes, which makes the party thoughtless and pandering to the most intellectually vacant, shrill masses. In a lot of ways, it makes them dangerous. The Republican Party has turned itself into a cartoon of itself. Like a lot of good cartoons, it is both funny and uncomfortable to watch......like South Park.Secondly, he writes about sports in an area where people love sports.I think this politician is a good guy. I hope he doesn't use his chance in politics to force others to behave and act as he may believe they should based upon his religious beliefs. Instead, he should think about freedom and what that means. Freedom is for everyone all the time. Not just when it is word that helps someone get elected.Let freedom ring!Go Zips!Thanks for showing us all what a bigot you are GP1. I'm sure you have some twisted rational for your opinions, but this is a sports message board. I for one, would appreciate it if you would take your convoluted wisdom to some other teams fan site. Perhaps one of those vaunted SEC or ACC teams you talk of here on the Zips message board so often. The fine folks at the Chapel will continue to contribute and invest their time, energy and money to make the Akron community a better place. People like you who think its ok to fire some cheap shots while hiding behind a computer screen are not needed as the only thing you contribute, is a sad twisted life view. Perhaps you should not post to this message board if you have to put someone else down in order to get your jollys. You now have the honor of being the first member on my ignore list.

It appears that the Buchtel HS coaching staffs' treatment of "Little Dru" was the reason the fab four ended up at SVSM. The Irish gauranteed Dru a spot on varsity and the rest is history.http://www.bvonsports.com/2009/09/11/lebro...shooting-stars/

Looked like a hip pointer possibly?

It looked like Bruce left the game with a shoulder or collarbone injury after his last punt return. He is one brave guy. It was nice to see Devon Torrence get some carries, but it appears he was injured also. He was on the sidelines on crutches and had an ice bag taped to his right hip. Hip pointer?

Perfect weather Perfect stadium Perfect opponent Perfect crowd Perfect Band Perfect outcome Perfect Day

They changed the time of my sons youth football game to Saturday afternoon instead of in the morning, so I now have 2 extra tickets. These are in section 210, row 2 right on the 50 yard line. If you want them, send me a PM and I will make arrangements to meet you at the Info on Saturday. They cost $25 each. The only downside is you have to sit with our fellow poster, Dave from Green!

Joe-Pa took his foot off the gas in the second half. All the rest, same old/same old. If we don't walk all over MS, I'll be worried.

The Raiders cut Jeff Garcia and kept Charlie Frye and Gradkowski.http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_13274830

I think this one would seem more likely.

OMG, Wait till Jake sees this thread! :blink:

I think you guys all have it wrong. The reason for the wristbands is to prevent students from selling their ticket. These first few games are going to be sellouts and I'm sure that someone didn't like the idea of students scalping tickets outside the stadium on opening day.

Maybe state of the art deicing equipment to prevent the problem. Either way it will enhance my game day experience. Without these two stairwell covers I believe the cost of the stadium would have come in at about $6 million.I've been inside those bomb shelters and its pretty nice in there! I wouldn't mind doing some laundry on gameday, the view is great. The soccer locker room is first class and the gameday football locker room is just right. I can't wait for Sept. 12.

B Hip?

5 seats, section 210, row 2

I know one when I see one! :blink:

Gradkowski out played him in NFL terms. Gradkowski and Frye both had a TD. Gradkowski had 18 yards/completion vs. Frye's 11.5. One of the most important statistics in the NFL is yards per attempt. Gradkowski had 10 yards/attempt vs. Frye's 6.6 yards/attempt.Completing passes down field is how you win in the NFL. Unless Frye turns this around, he will be on the outside looking in.Maybe, I think Frye still has the upper hand. If you thought Fryes arm was weak, it looks like a cannon next to Gradkowskis'.http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2009...wrap/#more-5898 http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_13065082

That's the key...... Not only "can the coaches do something with the talent", can the talent come through in critical time of the game. This is what the Zips have been lacking for the past 20 odd years.I've seen it once.

Again, sir. take your own advice and lighten up yourself. Growing big over little things like my typo is a clear indicator that you have a hostile streak and that you need to get over yourself. Stop making dishonest accusations about my attacking people when it is you who have done so. I take responsibility for my own behavior and no one elses. I assume you and others on this board are adults. I suggest you start acting like ones. Good day, mam!...

Here's another rumour concerning Howard. I heard that he may have a Hernia that might need surgury before the season starts.

Agree'd, much ado about nothing. I'll never forget when they first painted the center poles at the RB green, as if that would somehow make them invisible!

Here is a new aerial photo of the Info.
