where did you find this? all the ones on gozips are tiny (totally weak on their part). But yeah, that pic shows whats going on there. They cant put up the bleachers over that part of the stands until they've built the remaining buildings for concessions, bathrooms, etc.I keep telling you guys I have my sources! This came from the same person who told me the tailgate area would be Buchtel Field.

Another view.

Barack Obama has publicly stated his support of legislation to outlaw the BCS and install a true D-1 playoff. I'm liking the guy more each day! http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/09/pol...ball/index.htmlObama raps Bowl Championship Series: 'We need a playoff' This is change I can believe in!

Wyatt Webb was the coach when I first started attending Zips BB. Len paul was a senior. Harvey Glover and Nate Barnett. Later on the the Bates brothers. It was a different era. At Memorial Hall you could smell the chlorine sometimes from the pool below the main floor. Talk about a band box arena.

Went to a sports bar in Lexington KY called Varsity Blue. At the bottom of each urinal they had affixed a picture of Rick Pitino's face.

Skip, Ihave been a BB season ticket holder for over 35 years now. I know you want whats best for the team, but us old guys have to remember that we are dealing with a bunch of kids. These guys are just barely past teenagers. Life is too short to get all worked up. Take things one game at a time and you might have more fun.

Thats what you need to work on Skip. Don't worry, be happy!

Sure, the only thing I've taken issue with is GP1's dismissal of the progress that Dambrot has made here.Glad to hear I'm not alone.Happy New Year Everyone!Go Zips!The problem ZW, is that you never know which GP1 is posting. The thoughtful Zips fan or the forum troll.

I got news for you, those guys came to Akron to play for KD, not Hipsher. All DH would have done was destroy them by the time they were seniors. :blink:

I think they found Davids real calling; the fluff piece.http://www.ohio.com/sports/36152744.html

Blow out in the 2nd half. 78-61 Zips. Humpty sets a new career high with 23pts.

Another one bites the dust.http://muredhawks.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl.../112908aac.html

Coach Faust is a great guy. I almost feel bad typing this. When I read this, I could hear the motivational talk..... "We beat the Swenson's Lions....and the Swenson's Lions beat the Strickland's Giants.....and the Strickland's Giants beat the JCC Seahawks......and the JCC Seahawks beat the Downtown YMCA Eagles....and the Downtown YMCA Eagles beat the Ido Cafe Chargers....and the Ido Cafe Chargers beat the West Point Market Packers.....That means we can beat the West Point Market Packers."Holy cow! I didn't know Ido Cafe was that good! Must be all those 80-something Firestone retirees who are so super tough. Tip o' the cap to my Dad for buying me my first Rolling Rock there. ZIP, Yes the Ido still rocks! My wife and I just had dinner there last week. I grew up one street south of Ido Ave(Brookside) and have many fond memorys of the place. If your ever in Akron let me know and I'll buy you another Rolling Rock. http://www.idobar.com/index.shtml

Here is a turf field that would be available. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=41....mp;t=h&z=18Its at Bolich Middle School in Cuyahoga Falls. I went to a girls soccer state playoff game there a few weeks ago and it is in excellent shape.

I thought the big fella looked pretty good out there. Just think Rob Preston every time you see Sweich on the floor. Preston was a total bust untill KD took over and coached him up a little. By the time he was senior, he was a contributor. Give Steve some time.

Hey Winthrop fan, what the heck was up with your coach last night? He went into a major rant at the end of the game. His anger seemed to be directed at Dambrot. I didn't see anything that would have set him off like that.

Maybe if you posted this in the correct forum, you might get better results. Now onto you "Expert" diagnosis of the team. They are young, they will get better as the season progresses. Take a chill pill already! :blink: :blink: :blink:

Same Old Same Old Good Bye Rubber Bowl

Sorry to be such a downer on the tailgating info. All I can tell you is what I have been told by one who knows. The sattelite photo I posted is a little old now and there has been alot of new development in that area, so things might look a little different now. My understanding is that they are going to park cars on the field itself. I guess you will need a reserved space and some kind of fee will apply. Based on the parking situation, a reserved spot in the tailgate area might be some of the closest parking available.

Only Buchtel Field? For a 30,000 seat stadium they'd limit tailgating to that small area? They couldn't POSSIBLY screw it up this bad. I hope you are misinformed.I checked again this morning and it appears that Buchtel Field will be the Tailgate area. Anywhere else with an open container and you will risk a citation. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=41....mp;t=h&z=17

Anywhere within a 50ft radius of my truck. I know the subject of tailgating is heating up on campus now that Opening Day is only 10 months away. From what I understand, the goal of those "sane" at the University is to have open tailgating in any University lot. This makes the most sense. Limiting tailgating ("tailgating" being defined as a place where you can cook food and have beer in a Solo cup without fear of being arrested) to a confined area(s) would be lame. The more people that want to come on campus and enjoy a Saturday, the better. Hassling them will be an irreversable buzzkill that will deter folks from returning after the stadium honeymoon is over.I've been to scores of college game days throughout the United States. The ONLY ones that have butchered tailgating are Youngstown State and K.e.n.t. YSU severely limited their "tailgate" (see definition above) lots, and charged an inflated price to utilize them. K.e.n.t. arrested their alumni for a couple years in their tailgate lots. I know of several K.e.n.t. fans that used to attend Can't State's homecoming religiously, and who since have sworn to never return to the campus. Having attended the UA/K.e.n.t. game last month, I can say even K.e.n.t.'s administration was smart enough to call off their tailgate Gestapo and let responsible people enjoy their game day. Good for them. YSU? Beats me. I haven't been to a game in about 6 years (went with my mom, who's a YSU alum).I'm sure there will be an elderly UA trustee or two that will fight having open containers on campus 6 days per year. Hopefully someone overrules such narrow-minded clowns. Pretty much every college in North America lets their fans tailgate. Zips fans can handle themselves just as well as tailgating fans from any other region of the United States. Probably better (if we beat Buffalo, I don't see any of us overturning cars on Exchange).CK, I have heard from a very good source at UA that the official Zips tailgate area will be at Buchtel Field. Anywhere else you might have a problem with an open container. I will try and confirm this, but thats what I have been told.

I saw alot of potential at the JAR Thursday, but its going to take a while to get all the pieces to fit together. I think that even though it didn't show against Walsh, Humpty is going to be a great player. He seems to just glide along the floor when pushing the ball up the court. We have three guys who can create their own shot off the dribble in Roberts, Steward and Hitchens. All three seem to be able to just stop and pop from anywhere from the three point line or in the paint. This will be a very different type of team than we've seen in the past few years.

The last time the Dems controlled both houses of congress and the white house was under the Carter administration. The Dems were in control of both the House and Senate from 92-94 onder Clinton. That ushered in the Republican victory in the mid terms.

I tseems that Bill Needle is no longer the voice of the golden flushers. What a shame.LOL http://ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=324131 He always sounded like he was on Valium to me.
