Not gonna happen. He doesn't have the pedigree. He is also too valuable to the Law school.

Balsy you are just as guilty about making generalizations as those you accuse. Not every student is living on Raman noodles, working a full time job and in debt up to their ears. Many have wise parents who saved for their childrens education or at least help out financially. It's also possible to get some very large scholarship dollars with ACT scores as low as 25 or 26. Just because school was a struggle for you doesn't mean it is like that for everyone.

Sorry, but there is no way you could confuse Jim Dennison and Jim Tressel. Dennison is a frail old man in his 80's, Tressel not so much.

I believe it is Ap-uh-Latch-un.

You could have stopped at the Bucket Shop on your way home.

The last (and only) time I went to the Tilted Kilt the food was mediocre at best and our waitress was downright ugly! I try to avoid chain restaurants unless there are no other options.

Legends Bar and grill is pretty good. It's only a mile of so up the road in Green. Smoke the Burger Joint is real good too. If you like Mexican food, Nuevo Acapulco has great Margaritas and food. If you want more upscale you can't go wrong with the Twisted Olive . Finally, if you are a whiskey connoisseur, you will really like Whiskey Ranch. They have over 150 brands of whiskey in stock. All of the places are just a few minutes drive from where you are staying.

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire! NASCAR is in a death spiral. They are one of the few sporting events that has more empty seats than Zips football.

Our OC sucks. No imagination or any type of flow to the play calling.

Ben says nein!

About as useful as the old Yellow Pages book. ?

I have to believe that the BG vs GS game might have been a bit different if it hadn't been played in a monsoon. The heavy rain and wind took all of BG's weapons out of play and actually helped GS's scatback QB.

Sold Out! Thanks to all of you who are coming for your support of Zips Basketball. http://gozips.com/sports/mbkb/2016-17/releases/20160801nmze1k

Went to Barrios after the Zips victory in the semis last March and it was very good. I've been to the Diamond Grille many times. It is very old school, great beef with simple side dishes. It's an Akron landmark and I would recommend going just to experience the atmosphere. Btw, they don't take credit cards but will accept a check or bill you if you have a local business card.

A Jr staff member created the design while the boss was out of town and posted it. It was never approved and as soon as the boss saw it online it was pulled. A face to face meeting took place yesterday by the boss to personally apologize to the Houston Deputy AD. A meeting took place today with the staff involved, it was not pretty. Bottom line, should never have been done. We have our own brand and intend to use it. Case closed.

We are just a little over 2 weeks out from this event. It would be kinda cool if we could have a table full of members of Zips Nation to show their support for KD and the program. It will be an opportunity to meet and catch up with some of the former players who are going to attend. So far we have commitments from Dru Joyce, Romeo Travis, Jamal Ball, Jeremiah Wood, Derrick Tarver and Chauncey Gilliam. Invites have been made to Bob Huggins, Ben Braun and several former assistant coaches. This is going to be a first class event. If we want to be able to compete with the other big programs and really elevate our program to the level of a Gonzaga or Creighton, it takes money. Those programs have budgets in excess of $5 million per year. Akrons budget has been stuck at $2 million for several years now and KD does a great job with those limited resources. This dinner is a way to show how much we appreciate that and help the program at the same time. Even if you can't make the event a donation would help. How about a roll call to see who is coming? I'm in!

They fired IMG and all the marketing is being done in-house now.

To all loyal Zips basketball fans, come join the Varsity A club and celebrate the accomplishments of our coach Keith Dambrot on August 9th. This fundraiser will help the program remain competitive and fill in the gaps from the recent budget cuts at UA.

I'm sure it was due to a certain other former Zips player being on the roster.?

It's too bad KD's personal relationship with Lebron doesn't get our program any national exposure.
