14 points? What a homer So am I. KD has the team's full attention after the RI drubbing and workouts from he11. Humpty takes a step up and plays a solid game. Shooting, rebounding and defense get off the schnide enough for a 64-60 Zips win.

Prolly law students. And grad students w/teaching & research assistantships. Perhaps a few young urban professionals. This could start a yuppie war with the people in the Northside Lofts

Let me get this straight: If we were changing coaches, every one else would avoid all the players we were trying to recruit?Sounds like a plan...

You should check out the pictures/views from atop the tower if you haven't already...http://www.gozips.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml?SPID...mp;PALBID=53198

Maybe it's better to pretend it's an electronics store rather than explain what it really is

Anyone know how this project is going, or if it's going, or the expected completion date?

Yeah, that would be cool. The thing to keep in mind is that Cinci was not dominating their conference in football (wins or attendance) when the Big East took them in...they just had the most potential of the schools available (their hi profile hoops didn't hurt tho). If Buffalo continues to progress in football they will certainly be on the radar due to their sizeable market, east coast exposure and strong academics. We would probably need at least a new BB arena and some kind of stronger ties w/Cleveland. We need to be getting to bowl games also, even if it means scheduling a FCS game. Why not an Ivy League, Ga. Southern, Appalachian St, etc.? Those are teams I'd like to watch.

19th of which month?It will probably be like the Honors dorm...they were still working on it even after the students moved in. There's a lot left to do and progress will be slow thru the winter months.

Should be a good game tonight. And to think we almost had them Cincinnati, Virginia Tech both chasing history at Orange Bowlhttp://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianp...cKCCDdisZRtMZXASwitching to Big East conference helped Cincinnati's risehttp://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/conten...ebowl_1230.html

The trustee should have stayed far away from any transaction involving the university for which he works, and should have instructed his family to do the same. It's an obvious conflict of interest. The trustee should resign from the board for abusing his position.

My guess is they'll keep IU as the Info opener for the marquee effect. Maybe there will be a FCS game later in the season. The 2008 schedule was released in March so we probably won't know for a while yet. Plus I'll bet they will still be doing finishing touches up until the 19th.

Also some publicity for Youngstown, which we all know is about an hour south of Cleveland

Oops...wrong thread...

That would be cool to have a Rowdies contingent at McK. H.S. decked out in Zips gear for some games this season and for some Tiger fans to come on over to the JAR next season to watch Z. 'n the Zips.

For what it's worth & sorry if someone else already posted it... http://www.footballscoop.com/?cat=24 hears that the Akron staff is safe...

http://www.sportsradio1350.com/pages/listen_live.htmlFor whatever reason, they have been streaming the audio recently for football and basketball. Earlier in the season they weren't for contractual reasons...I don't know what changed but glad it did.

I also used it here in a signature with a photo of a kangaroo, before it was adopted as an official slogan. But I thought it was too cheesy and quickly removed it. 'FTR' was definitely seen on ZN.o before the athletic department adopted it. Hmmm...

Here is the link: http://www.stratfordbeaconherald.com/Artic....aspx?e=12992942nd best golf recruiting class in the nation, better than SEC, ACC and B10-leven schools? That's just shocking. Here's to future and golf-wars with Way to go, coach Nick

We're not that far from having 3 ranked teams in the AP poll. BSU is #14, WMU is #31 and CMU is #36. Once we're in Infocision the Zips should be able to maintain the #25-45 range consistently and get an occasional ranking.

Id much rather be known for being a bunch of @$holes than being a bunch of pansiesand oh man can we be a$holes sometimes Why did they leave AK- out of the acrostic? Now you've got the A word...what can the K- word be? K-angaroo-loving? K-ent-hating?

Good points. We need large crowds at each home game because of the university and team's success, not just because of a grocer (with all due appreciation for their support). Having one sellout because of a well-sponsored community event, followed by poor attendance at the other games is not a good model for the future. Ideally though, every game should be well promoted and offer some type of extras for the kids, wives, grandparents etc. that are not strictly football diehards. Every game day should be a true festival and now that it will be on campus they could open up some of the other facilities like the student union and rec center for families to take advantage of before or after the game. I'm trying to imagine morning tailgating for a 1pm soccer match, followed by more tailgating for a 6pm football kickoff...it will be Acme-Zip times 3 !

From GoZips.com:Prior to the celebration, Akron's athletics director Mack Rhoades announced a $1 million gift towards the project from the FirstMerit Foundation, the charitable giving arm of FirstMerit Corporation. In turn, the stadium's fifth floor will now be called the FirstMerit Club Level, which includes 522 partially-covered chairback seats, 38 loge boxes, two lounge/bar areas and upscale concessions. Also, the now FirstMerit Club Level is where the University hopes to welcome conferences, meetings and receptions to truly make this facility a resource for this community.
