Since they are prepared to spend "more than seven figures", all I can say is $10,000,000 still buys a lot of concrete. I would love to see the RB get fixed up and have another set of activities going on for the city. The immovable lights issue just leaves me shaking my head though...I'm sure the marketing group knows about the airport next door(?) http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/local-grou...f-usfl-1.316991

Phil Steele predicts UCF as the #1 non-AQ team in 2012: "This year I'm going for SEVEN IN A ROW, my call is for the UCF Knights to go unbeaten in CUSA play and be the top non-AQ team in the country this year as they are my Most Improved Team!" http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2012/June12/DBJune20.html

Tomorrow (Sun.) at 5p ET is the Sounders @ Timbers "Cascadia Clash" on ESPN...Zakuani is listed as doubtful (but ready to go). http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2012-...r-v-sea/preview

from the article: "One of the primary reasons UA built InfoCision was because it viewed the [Rubber Bowl] as outdated and inadequate. After four years of standing idle, the Rubber Bowl that opened in 1940 would require significant work and upgrades."

It was well pointed out today that he couldn't help assemble a dream team in Cleveland because it's so hard to get the other stars to come to a "boring" town that's not NY, LA, Chicago, Boston, Miami...sometimes you have to face the reality of things.

I'm glad he shut up those who won't give a great player his/her due unless/until winning a championship. Now that he's got his ring, let the LeBron vs. Michael debate begin...

Student fees will not be used for the arena, just as they weren't for the football stadium. Some ignorant people will still call it a waste of money though, even if it doesn't cost them a dime.

Sneak into their locker rooms and swap uniforms?

They've made the Elite 8 in baseball now...off to Omaha they go.

Thanks...what is the name of your home pub? I know the Zips beat UCF at the Citrus Bowl at least once. Would love to hear about a comparison of both of our new football stadiums from any UCF fans that make the trip up this fall. I'm sure we'll be visiting your board leading up to the game

Downtown Akron building up for sheriff's sale http://www.ohio.com/news/local/downtown-ak...s-sale-1.312063 could be a nice acquisition

So much for the lack of hyperbole...now we expect to outrecruit the Big-xx in NEO (other than Tosu)? But at least with a good coach (and VPSE) we can hope for some incremental improvement in local recruiting.

+100. It would only increase scoring in overtime to decide the match in the same fashion as regulation play. We've lived and died by penalty kick shootouts and I agree it's a 'tragic' guessing-game way to determine a winner. A basketball analogy would be at the end of a hard fought tie game to have each team shoot half a dozen free throws to decide the outcome.

Looks like a very interesting article; I haven't had time to read it all yet...hopefully soon.

At least with the expanded format we had a better chance of getting the WW than having it all rest on RI's shoulders..

We just don't fit into that southern geography, east region is better for us. Furthermore, Tulane, Rice, and SMU need to get out of there and start a southern Preppy-academic league: Tulane Rice SMU Vanderbilt Duke Ga Tech Clemson Miami UNC Virginia
