I would come out and join other fans for some of the road games.

If you went to Charleston to watch the basketball team you got to experience many of the things you talk about Skip. There was a group of a couple of hundred fans who had a great time interacting with the players, coaches and most importantly the other fans. Hanging out in the team hotel there were ample opportunities to interact with the players and their families. At any game,if you are willing to wait around until the players leave the locker the room I'm sure they would be glad to sign autographs and take photos . The same would be true for road games too.

Creative accounting.

His team is 19-0 and he was tournament MVP. You need to take a close look at the photos in that article. The guy is ripped! A man amongst boys. http://www.news-record.com/sports/hsxtra/greensboro-day-beats-northwest-guilford---in-haeco-men/article_82210770-8fc9-11e4-9edf-e7be1e6840a2.html?mode=jqm

It's futile.

There is no budget for paying for halftime entertainment that I know of. As long as that big albartross across the street keeps sucking every last dollar out of the athletics budget, I wouldn't expect much in the way of halftime entertainment.

Volleyball could play their games at the Central Hower gym.

I plan on beating JohnnyZip this year. For those of you who haven't played in the past, I would suggest you make all your picks for the whole season right now. That way if you forget to log on for a week you don't end up with a bad record. You can always go back and change your picks right before the games are played.

I would be for the renovation if it included the following; An addition with a practice court. Removing the walking track. Removing all the roll out seating and replacing it with permanent concrete risers and stadium quality seats. New restrooms and concession areas. Space for events and gatherings. This could be part of the new practice facility. A complete technology upgrade including anew scoreboard and TV studio.

Why should I pay taxes to the State so they can decide who gets what and send it back to my local community. Now that Summit county doesn't have big daddy down in Columbus collecting for them they need to do a better job of convincing the local taxpayers to ante up.

When did we move to Colorado?

How much of that was taken from the Sheriffs budget.

I guess enough people like me are questioning why the Sheriffs expenses have gone up so much in the last few years that they have to cut staffing at the jail. The Sheriff just announced they are going start charging the communities that use their services quite a bit more in the near future. Summit County sheriff raising price of police protection If my math is right those increases add up to $3.7 million in increased funding. Show us the money Mr Sheriff and maybe we will be more interested in paying for your tax increase.

I spent several hours in Tom Parkers Common Pleas courtroom today with my sons Boy Scout troop observing cases be adjudicated. Out of the approximately 40 cases that he heard today, 35 of them were drug related. Mainly heroin offenses. Heroin is an very addictive drug and the users commit many crimes in order to fund their habit. I would wager that this is the biggest issue causing the over crowded conditions at the county jail. A good number of them had already been through treatment programs which did not result in them kicking their drug habit. Are we going to be over run with these low level offenders who are committing burglaries and other petty crimes? Unless law enforcement does a better job of arresting the suppliers the jail is going to bursting at the seams.

Can't can have football and baseball. We keep basketball and soccer. Turn Infocison into a domed basketball arena and all purpose venue. Where do I sign up?

AKPB also plays Valpo, CMU, OU, Michigan St., Houston, Texas Tech and Stanford. Should they be embarrassed too? Or should we play that kind of schedule too, with no home OOC games. Maybe we could use the extra money we would make to pay off the debt from Infocision Stadium.

This topic makes me chuckle. KD came in and took over a program that except for a couple of years in the mid 80's was a total disaster at the D-1 level. Huggins had a couple of successful seasons but he was smart enough to recognize that with what UA has to offer it would be nearly impossible to compete at a high level in D-1 basketball. After he left we joined the MAC and never even made it to the post season tournament until after KD was hired. 20 tears of losing basketball. The basketball team operates on a meager budget that won't improve until the albatross that is housed at Infocision Stadium starts to produce more revenue. Considering the state of college football, I don't see that happening anytime soon. If Bowden was accomplishing what Dambrot has accomplished, people on this board would be jumping for joy. I guess after a few years of making a bowl game people would be questioning why the Zips aren't competing for the BCS championship.

I would estimate there were around 200 fans in the Club seats area for the UMASS game.

Gattis made everyone of the crap calls last night. In a 30 second span he nailed Noah for charging and then whistled him for blocking while guarding the MTSU point guard at the other end. In the pivitol final minutes of the the game, that same player bodied up to Noah so hard that he was almost knocked into the backcourt. Gattis was right next to the play but swallowed his whistle.

I would recommend you avoid hitting your golf ball into a patch of pussy-willows.

Nah, I'm just a shill who wears rose colored glasses and gives too much money to the program.

Yikes!

The problem is on your end. Check your monitor zoom %.
