Captain Kangaroo

Hineygate, and similar other events, to me, suck. It is just a bunch of yahoos drinking giant cups of cheap beep while listening to 110 decibel music.Those are the ass-clowns that give legit tailgaters a bad name. They're the ones you see on the evening news burning stuff and vomiting on the curb.

Davanzo in Calgary

We could even steal the name. We could erect a big bronze statue of Coleman Crawford. "Coleman Commons"...I LIKE it! That, or "Bryan Hipsher Hollow." Either is acceptable.

A whole day, huh?Any earlier and this city's overly geriatric population would forget about it. Any later and there isn't enough time to let the message sink in.There better be a 4- or 8-page pullout dedicated to the new stadium, parking, everything. We get one chance to make a 1st impression.

A whole day, huh?

You think this billboard battle was a snoozer. What about the turf tiff? I agree. We need a "fresh" thread initiated...something like "Let's Leave the MAC and Go to the Big East." :zzz:

Al Gore created it for everyone, and don't you forget it young man!

"Worst 'full story' ever."

I was hoping we'd copy Boise State's "Smurf Turf."

Both share a passion...

Coaching in Florida

News release from Austin Peay I'm guessing they accidentally left Akron off the listing of teams (they need 8 teams, and state Akron is the tourney-opening opponent). Obviously the tourney will be set up to get Auburn and Central Florida into the finals. That's good news for the Zips because either:UCF will be in an allegedly cake walk bracket that may include the Zips. Zips have a nice path to the finals.orThe Zips will be in the "difficult" bracket, with opportunities to play either Auburn, Drake or both.Sign up for your trip package today!

BG loses EIGHT football scholarships? Big hole to dig out of for the new coach...Good to see Ohio State penalized for it's dependence on "sham" student athletes who take all of 5 credits before "graduating" to the NBA. Hey...they made an appearance in the NCAA Finals... so it was probably worth it from a financial standpoint. And that's all that really matters.Note: This was placed in the "Basketball" forum because I was tired of looking at that stagnant "Boals" thread. The hoops forum needed some life.

I'm starting to see your angle...maybe we could add a catchy marketing line like:"Browns Fans - If you liked Ken Dorsey, you'll love this guy!" Or maybe "Jacquemaine for Heisemaine"?Or "The Best QB in the MAC...Until the 4th Quarter"Or - "Not Walt Harris' Fault"If you don't like slogans, just make certain to have a giant Matt Rodgers Fat Head ready by about week #5.No way you pin your marketing hopes on Jacquemaine. That's like basing your retirement on winning the Power Ball.

God help us...

Why K.e.n.t. advertises their football program on billboards in Akron is beyond me. Why they advertise their Three-Decade-Plus train wreck of a program at all baffles me.It does look bad when your rival is promoting themselves all over town, and you...the home town team...are marketing-wise invisible.I believe strategically-placed, clever billboards are an essential piece of the sports marketing pie. Especially when there is no local TV or radio option available.

#3 on the Delaware depth chart...the coach elected to use a TE and a WR @ QB before him?

I want to know about Western Ken.tucky's role in the new MAC!!!Can anyone ever envision the Big 10 commissioner stating "We are proud to announce Rutgers has joined the Big 10."

More up-to-date than this story? It's 8 hours old?! Unless you had breakfast with him, I'm thinking this is the most up-to-date account out there.The story is new, but the information is old. We knew he canceled his visit two weeks ago.What we did not know 2 weeks ago was - "Now that Jeff Boals is officially an assistant coach, the Ohio State men's basketball team will try again to recruit Adreian Payne, a 6-foot-10 junior from Dayton Jefferson."Either the guy is lying, or OSU is now recruiting him.

It was a mutual decision. The following is the conversation that constitutes the mutual agreement.Payne: "I'm not coming to visit."K.D. "O.K."I thought K.D. said "Alright"? Can someone please verify?

Please please please can someone draw up possible new conference alignments??!! Include UMass, Western Ken.tucky, and Delaware if possible. I'd also like to see its effect on Conference USA.

Two words - Klaus ZollnerI think our "local" recruiting base is more within our budget, and seems to be working very well. St Mary's has made a living off Australian players as of late, so going overseas is definitely an alternative strategy. But I think we should leave the overseas recruiting to Caleb Porter.
