I heard that there is a big party planned by the people who worked directly with him at UT. They are thrilled that he got this new position at UA.

Good luck to new UA President Scott Scarborough. I hope he is ready for the challenges ahead. If past experience means anything, I would expect a lot of cuts are coming to UA.

"Pot smoking" is already a misdemeanor crime. You get the equivalent of a speeding ticket.

But you don't understand. It takes a village.....

I kind of like the sound of "Skippy". It just rolls off my tongue. You know, a take off on Zippy.

St Eds won the division 1 state championship this year. Bracket Schedule

Ok, you got me on that one! My wife hates when I butcher that and makes fun of me about getting it wrong.

So let me get this right, it's OK for you to claim that everyone you know hates Tressel, but my claiming the opposite is wrong. I could care less about your resume.

I don't hang around with OSU honks. More like past presidents of the Alumni Association, graduates who are partners in major NEO law firms and accounting firms, board members of major public and charitable organizations etc... The kind of people who actually make big financial contributions to UA. They love JT and think he is the right guy for the job.

Balsy and Skip, maybe it's just the crowd I run with, but I would say they are 10-1 in favor of hiring Tressel. I also know quite a few people at UA who have had a direct working relationship with JT and they all love the guy. They all say he is an intelligent guy who works tirelessly to accomplish whatever goals he sets for himself and the university. That sounds like a leader to me and that's what we need. There is more to this job than being a hatchet man or some kind of professorial egghead.

There are also those who are blinded by the belief that anything associated with "OSWho" can do no right. I find it ironic that the ABJ finally decided to get rid of anonymous commenting and now all those common citizens that filled that section are suddenly quiet. It's much harder to spew hate and vitriol when you have to own up to it with your true identity.

These poor kids are so hungry they have to resort to shoplifting Crab Legs! I'm sure it was just an oversight on his part for not paying for them. Jameis Winston cited for shoplifting $32.72 of groceries

This post is so full of strawmen, you might want to avoid going anywhere near a flame. You might catch on fire.

Would you people please lighten up a little. That Was freaking hilarious!

I would think that the Cavaliers D - league team might be interested in the new arena too.

Here is a nice article highlighting the top players in the 16u division at last weekends King James AAU tournament. This is the age where most of the college coaches start making offers. King James Shooting Stars Classic weekend recap The ABJ covered it too. Maybe the younger Nance kid will want to stay closer to home.

Verbal Commits Hudl PD

Malcom Walters PG from Cleveland St Edwards has verbally committed as a preferred walk-on for next season. It looks like KD is going to make sure there is plenty of competition for that position next year.

It sounds like we hired the wrong Ianello. I guess you might wonder who wears the pants in that family.

It looks like this is just part of the plans for the use of a .25% increase in the Summit county sales tax. A 9,000-seat sports and entertainment arena is proposed for downtown Akron .

Robby Benson has the greatest lines in a basketball movie of all time.

Big Al was a real character. My wife worked downtown and we used to go to Sarah's for lunch. Good food but really slow service.

Not to mention his youngest daughter was one of those departing seniors.

I'm pretty sure he is still a grey shirt.
