It's ultra-fascinating! Akron needs to start marketing it as a top tourist destination... Weather Channel: http://www.weather.com/travel/news/seph-lawless-abandoned-stadium

Indiana hires PR firm to repair damage from 'religious freedom' lawhttp://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/indiana-pr-firm-religious-freedom-law-116947.html

Anyone else find it ironic that a Cleveland station is traveling to Akron to take photos of decaying properties?

In 1811, Paul Williams settled near the corner of what is now Buchtel Avenue and Broadway and suggested to surveyor of the Connecticut Western Reserve General Simon Perkins, the co-founding of a town at the summit of the developing Ohio and Erie Canal. The name derived from the Greek word ἄκρον signifying a summit or high point. (Wikipedia) So there's your ready-made tie-in to Greece.

http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2015/04/52268/cincinnati-man-furious-ohio-state-will-be-honored-before-tonights-reds-game But if the Bearcats won a NC, would they be honored in Columbus before a Bluejackets game? Fat chance.

You kinda knew VCU was going to hire another young whippersnapper since it worked out pretty well with Shaka.

A rather sloppy final, if you ask me. I'm ready for Coach K to ride off into the sunset.

I think it's for real. Unless the Buchtelite got fooled also.

But it's been made abundantly clear that transfers are the new normal.

Let's just say while coaching the Zips he learned the difference between electing to defer versus electing to kick off when winning the coin toss.

Who are we going to get to replace KD? Let's hear the names...

We should probably be glad the article was not titled "20 College football programs that should suffer the same fate as UAB"

I'd love to see a Panera near campus...nice place to drink coffee and study.

Chris Mullin offered by St. John's. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/25128090/chris-mullin-offered-st-johns-job-expected-to-accept

He looked up Can't State but apparently he didn't look up Firestone Tire.

It nearly did happen, but for a clutch 3 pointer by WVU at the end of the 1st round game. UB probably would have beaten Maryland too with their loss of a key player and 23 turnovers.

5 wins max if Pratt is a 1st string.

But had we won, would we have lost?

Interesting bit about UMass growth/spending/debt http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/03/21/after-building-boom-umass-sizes-debt/rnbYFtGVZsp11mZn9buJAM/story.html

I saw BH got some extended face time on CBS hoops coverage this evening. I was doing something else so I didn't hear what all they were talking about.

Sadly, #TeamOhio lost in the second round of the tournament.

K-State showed up ready to play. They are athletic and good. Zips didn't shoot well enough to stay in it. Still, a good effort and a good season.
