  1. Finally some positive words from the ABJ. http://www.ohio.com/editorial/editorials/what-ua-achieves-in-its-budget-1.612626 "What the University of Akron finally has is a clear and responsible framework for spending. That is a real accomplishment. For many, it may not seem so, but it offers a sustainable way to get better."
  2. I never said they should sit on negative stories.
  3. I'm sure the ABJ is selling lots of newspapers and their webpages are blowing up over all this controversy. I would expect a few more stories to surface so they can ride it out a little longer. When the local governments were forced to make big cutbacks after the recession they ran a few stories and that was it. Apparently they are content to be part of the problem and not part of the solution. I would think it would be in their own best interest to rally the community behind UA to get through these tough times. I guess they just can't put their politics aside and promote an institution run by a board of trustees dominated by Republican appointees.
  4. Yeah, I turned down an easy $1000 from some guy wanted to bet me that Robothom was transferring out.
  5. My neighbor is a referee for C/A PA and tells me that Brett McKnight is indeed tearing up the league.
  6. This years freshman class is the largest ever.
  7. I don't know Johnny, We might end up with Wistricill handling our marketing. http://www.gozips.com/athletics/emails/tom/2014-15/june_11_2015
  8. My daughters HS graduation was held there in 2012 and my wife and I were appalled at the conditions. Huge pieces of wall coverings were peeling away, the carpeting is worn out and the bathrooms were pretty grimy. I would bet that most of the mechanical systems need a major overhaul too.
  9. No Bickley or Traylor-Bennett.
  10. I would suggest he might want to read this;https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Moved_My_Cheese%3F
  11. Can't wait until next year. https://twitter.com/cde__5/status/624433825179914240
  12. Where in the heck did ypu find that! I rode with Funk at the golf outing and he is one big intimidating looking dude.
  13. I found this story much more interesting. http://www.cleveland.com/datacentral/index.ssf/2015/07/university_of_cincinnati_ups_h.html#incart_m-rpt-1 Cincinnati subsidy is $911 per student. $27 million last year.
  14. What do college football fans want today? Clean bathrooms
  15. I would not expect Noah to be ready to play until after the season starts. I really think McAdams is ready for a breakout season. As far as the 3 freshmen forwards go, Utomi seems to pass the eyeball test so far. I would expect the depth chart to look like this at the beginning of the season. Until the real practices start it's hard to tell. Forsythe / Johnson Cheatam / JacksonJr Ketzer / Utomi McAdams / Ivey Jackson / Williams Robothom IR, Agba and Olojapoke RS
  16. I wish we had more guys with your passion CK.
  17. Yeah those high mid majors are just beating down the doors to play the Zips at the JAR. And KD refuses to schedule them so he can pad his record, right? Amazing!
  18. I'm sure Balsy would fit right in on the faculty senate.
  19. If you would have bothered reading the ABJ article, you would have learned that was an existing housing fund of $340,000 that is being tapped for the majority of the renovations. The budget for the current renovations is $375,000 so the remaining $35,000 is that needs to be funded out of new money.
  20. Here's another gem of a tweet from one of the ones presented on Cleveland.com. I hope she's not a regular on ZN.o.

  21. http://zipsnation.org/forums/topic/33567-tom-wistrcill-resigns-who-will-replace/?p=242176Trust me, I know what I'm talking about .
  22. I'm sure they figure it will be an easy win on the road.
