  1. Are you questioning my abilities!💪
  2. Taking down the professors union.
  3. Now that Miller has firmly established his control I would expect his hand picked AD to deliver. So far Miller has really hit some home runs.
  4. We do get free gear from Nike. I would wager that currently we are getting more financial support from Matt Kaulig than LeBron.
  5. Other than the I Promise School, name one other venture in Akron that is owned by LeBron.
  6. This is where you are mistaken. The only thing LeBron has contributed to Akron is his name. He doesn't provide funding for his foundation or school. They are funded by corporations and charity organizations. In fact, LeBron has a reputation of being a cheapskate. As the many servers who have been stiffed by his greatness, my son being one of them.
  7. Unless we are willing to make the same level of financial commitment as the school from Spokane, it doesn't matter who we schedule in the non-conference part of the season.
  8. Ali has the greatest stone face. Never changes. Even after he knocked down the go ahead points not even the smallest smile.
  9. Settle down Boomers. Those are what are popular with Gen Z. 🤣
  10. This is proof that the so-called cost of athletics for UA is a total farce. Nothing more than clever accounting and a shell game. The actual costs of athletics is much less than what appears on the balance sheet.
  11. He's a nice kid but until he makes a commitment to defense.....
  12. Dollard was a lost cause. It was only a matter of time before he got himself kicked out of the university. I know you don't like Polian, but what he wrote on his book is exactly the type of dynamic you are talking about. Just so long as we get a coach that understands that dynamic we will be in good shape. If that person happens to be black that's fine too.
  13. Arth hung himself with his refusal to use the transfer portal to build the team. He didn't need to go all out like Bowden and sign 40 guys. But 10-15 would have been a big help.
  14. Brian Polian Product Description In coaching vernacular, a relationship guy is someone who performs at their peak when they have meaningful relationships and bonds with the coaches they work with every day. In reality, this concept is not exclusive to athletics. All people have an inherent desire to be close to others. We are all relationship guys. Brian Polian has been coaching college football at the highest levels for over 20 plus years. He has traveled the country recruiting elite student-athletes and working with them on a daily basis in the highly competitive and pressure-filled world of college athletics. In that time, he has witnessed a dramatic shift in how best to effectively teach and develop young people. Generation Z is different from their predecessors and the failure to recognize that and to adjust will put any person that works with them at a disadvantage. In order to effectively teach or coach Generation Z, establishing and maintaining healthy relationships with them must be the first priority. We have to honor the relationship before we can honor the task. Coach Polian draws upon his experiences and reflects on relationships being the greatest rewards in life, why they are so important to young people, identifying the building blocks of relationships, and how to build better ones with Generation Z. He examines honestly on the dynamics of diversity in working with today s student-athletes. The book also provides simple but effective ways to guide the giving and receiving of feedback and reminders of some of the characteristics that make Generation Z so unique. Finally, some of his mentors and valued peers from across the coaching profession share their observations as to the importance of building relationships with students and athletes. This book is not just for members of the coaching community. It can serve as a resource for teachers, employers, and even parents; for anyone that works to help young people develop and grow. Review Brian Polian has grown up around football. As a young man, he saw it coached at the highest level in the NFL, and he has had a very successful coaching career himself for over 20 years. Being around so many excellent coaches have allowed Brian to understand that coaching starts with relationships. In this book, Coaching and Teaching Generation Z, he gives a great outline of how to successfully build relationships by fostering communication that is built on trust, respect, and love. This book will help anyone who is interested in leading a team, a business, or a family. --Tony Dungy: Superbowl Champion, Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach, Author and NBC Sports Analyst Brian grew up around the game of football and wanted to coach since he was 14 years old. In this unique book, he makes a real contribution to the game and profession he loves so much. --Bill Polian: Former NFL Executive, Super Bowl Champion, and Member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame As a former college athlete and also the parent of three children who were recruits, I have a unique perspective when it comes to the relationships between coaches and players. Having known Brian Polian since 2007 and observed his work with my own sons, I can tell you he practices what he preaches. There is great value in his thoughts on relating to Generation Z. I would not only recommend this book for coaches, but also for anyone working with this generation of young people. --Mike Golic: Former NFL Player and Current ESPN Analyst About the Author Brian Polian is a veteran coach in college football, having worked at the Div. I level for over 20 years. His stops as an assistant include Michigan State, Buffalo, Baylor, UCF, Stanford, Texas &M, and Notre Dame. He also served as the head coach at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he led the Wolf Pack to two bowl games in four seasons and unprecedented academic success. He is considered one of the top special teams' coordinators in college football. His units appear at or near the top of the national rankings multiple times throughout his career. ESPN.com, Rivals, and 247 have also recognized him as one of the top recruiters in the country at the conclusion of various recruiting cycles. He has served on the AFCA Ethics Committee and on the inaugural College Football Officials Competition Committee. He completed his undergraduate studies at John Carroll University and his graduate degree from Baylor University.
  15. Right after he commits a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.
  16. Wynn was dressed to play. He participated in the warm-ups. I was at the game.

  18. I predict that Kato will be our starting QB on Tuesday.
  19. Joe has no input as to the content of the show. His job is to be a cheerleader for the Zips, not Mike Wallace on 60 minutes.
  20. Everybody gets a trophy! Get with the times Boomer!
  21. Chuck has really impressed me so far. He is the polar opposite of Williams. Very open and right to the point on his expectations of the coaches. With the amount of money we spend nothing less than top 3 and appearances in conference tournaments will be acceptable.
