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 %.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. After you actually spend some time on the other side it becomes obvious that there is little to no difference. Unless we can make a major jump I don't think it would make any difference.

Just call them LZIP. They will walk you through what you are looking for and send you a proof via email before you make your final order.

I would just contact Dan Fannely at Akron Felt And Chenille. They can make you anything you want and they have all the emblems including the new Z emblems. Most of the teams buy their gear from AF&C. You can go to their website and choose the garment or hat you want and they will customize it to your specs. It is usually only a 4-5 day turnaround and they will ship or you can pick it up from their store located right near the Rubber Bowl. http://www.akronfeltandchenille.com/

I don't know, it's going to take a lot to beat this one.

Wish I could have been there to say hello. My son had his NHS induction tonight. I guess this was a good game to miss though.
