  1. Several out-of-state alumni have tried to rally support for the baseball program and mounted a fundraising campaign. But even if they raise money they may not have a place to play. "Frankly we need the property the baseball field is on to create a main entrance to the university, which it does not have," Scarborough said. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2015/08/university_of_akron_president_scott_scarborough_knew_addressing_60_million_problem_would_be_hard_but_necessary.html Main entrance to............the soccer field?
  2. 4. Volleyball recruiting
  3. What we most need, IMO, is some great QB play and passing so we can hold & move the ball on offense, score some points, and keep the defense fresh. I am most interested to see if Pohl can keep the job and step it up a level this fall.
  4. UA and the landlords should work together for a solution rather than trying to keep these players on the hook for a year when they did nothing wrong and want to transfer out. The U. would be money ahead to eat a month or 2 of lease (until the landlord gets a replacement) and be free of the scholarship commitment for the players who find another baseball team.
  5. I have to agree it's pretty scummy of the landlords to not cancel leases for the baseball players.
  6. You're all making it too difficult. http://chicagoinno.streetwise.co/2015/08/26/a-former-mcdonalds-exec-turned-his-love-for-football-into-a-full-service-tailgating-startup/
  7. 1. Grid attendance 2. Hoops arena 3. Live streaming performance
  8. Sam Bourquin‏@SammyB1590 Former University of Akron baseball coach Rick Rembielak will be the new head baseball coach and associate AD at Perry High School

  10. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2015/08/24/corps-of-cadets-hones-leadership.html Dispatch.com may have carried some of the recent negative UA stories; if so, I haven't seen it. I'll give them credit for carrying this one.
  11. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2015-08/uoa-nge082415.php We've got craniofacial reconstruction R&D Yes we do We've got craniofacial reconstruction R&D How about you?!?! (Doesn't quite flow like the HS football chant)
  12. It's gonna be a long day waiting but I think the late start helps us more. In the heat of the Okla. afternoon we would wear down quicker and depth would be more of an issue.
  13. GT is starting to bring it....some good coverage there.
  14. So you think the Sooner scoring will be all touchdowns and our defense won't at least be able to hold them to some FG's? I highly doubt it but it depends on whether our secondary can execute assignments.
  15. It's why innovative thinking and bold actions are needed to elevate the U....soon.
  16. The county had to remove the arena tax issue from the ballot because of the public freakout. So why would any mayoral candidate come out in favor of an arena that might require a tax increase? I don't understand politics (and I don't think the politicians do either).
  17. Fans will be fans but I would love it if their coaches and players felt that way.
  18. Looks pretty real to me... http://wsls.com/2015/08/18/virginia-tech-cadets-face-tough-obstacles-in-first-week/ One of the largest classes of incoming cadets at VT, 43% from out of state, so there is some demand for the program.
  19. USA Today MAC preview- http://www.usatoday.com/longform/sports/ncaaf/mac/2015/08/19/college-football-preview-mid-american-conference-mac/31640015/
  20. Well, TB didn't improve the win count last year and new AD's like to bring in their own guys and Larry has this buddy looking for a chance to become an FBS head coach.... (jk)
  21. It's called "making adjustments". We expect it of our coaches.......(and presidents/trustees).
  22. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/rankings/cbs/128 Goliath #18 David #94, ahead of Syracuse, USF, Iowa State, Tulane, SMU, UConn, Tulsa, Kansas, ULM and Hawaii.
  23. We dump on the JAR for being a dump, and then use basketball as an attendance benchmark(?) Our good soccer in a good facility would be a better yardstick, except that soccer is not one of the 2 major college sports. Until we see winning football in the fine stadium with some true marketing talent applied to the total gameday experience, we won't know the true UA attendance potential.
