We shot .283 inside the 3 point line and .240 outside the line...that will get you beat no matter where you play. And many of the missed shots were wide open (as KD admitted) and many of them weren't even close. We have suddenly lost our home court mojo. VCU didn't shoot well either but started making some shots down the stretch...that was the difference. Like the Zips, they are good in their conference but not a real threat beyond the mid-major realm. Goaltending is when the shot is blocked on its downward trajectory, not on the way up or at the top of its arc. Because the ball slows down as it reaches the top of the arc people get confused and think it's coming down before it actually is. 4,000 was a good crowd for an early start against a team most people aren't very familiar with and the Rowdies got some good airtime.

Do we know for sure whose broadcast it will be? You'd think it would be the home team, but...

After your post-game beer you can go see Barack Obama campaigning at the convention center:http://www.ohio.com/news/break_news/15836587.html

It's a fan forum...we're *sposed* to be emotional. It's not like Frenchy never gets emotional about the Zips I especially enjoyed Joe D's sarcastic remarks about "Harvard of the Midwest" and the lack of class of some MU fans at the end of the game.

People have fond memories of those Zip Strip bars but I think future students will have even fonder memories of attending games on campus at the new stadium. Anyone know what's happening now at the construction site?

The answer is yes. They have announced that they will. On the stadium website. Whether they will follow thru remains to be seen. They don't keep other construction project status updated on the UA website so who knows.

That's obviously not going to happen. Dude had mental health issues and was on medication which he then quit, probably abruptly which may have been what set him off. Sometimes people have trouble getting the help they need, sometimes the treatments are not effective. IMO, everyone in society should be screened by a mental health professional to find all the ones that need help but aren't getting it. Maybe the schools that can afford it will start putting an armed security guard in each building. I don't think any schools are going to start allowing students to carry weapons on campus. It must be scary to be a parent with kids off at college.BTW, one of my UA profs was a NIU alum...Dr. von Meerwall.

lol, i was thinking the same thing, OUCHI'm sure the Pats remembered his TD return in the previous game and DH had a huge bullseye on him in the SB. At least he held on to the ball so the Giants could put together an amazing winning drive.

They kept the camera trained on him like he just butchered his own mother or something...I thought it was a bit overdone. My suggestion to Coughlin would be to have the incoming player communicate with the guy he's replacing like in basketball. It was a heads up call by the Pats tho' to keep the drive alive.

I'm not sure I understand how the substitutions work. Is Chase supposed to always watch for another LB coming on the field and know that he's the one being replaced? Couldn't/shouldn't the incoming player notify whoever he's replacing to make sure he gets out? Or did he miss a signal from the sideline? Why was all the blame on Chase...shouldn't it be a coordinated effort?

Hixon: Switch from D to O in college...Fantastic-finish catch to win the MAC for Akron...Broken foot during combines, picked up by Denver...1 year rehabbing foot...Serious injury to opposing player in first NFL game...Fumble problems, released by Denver...picked up by Giants...KO return for TD vs. Pats in final reg. season game...Everett walking again after NDE...Plays in Super Bowl and wins the ring...Wow, what a whirlwind of events !

Kind of scary that they come down so easily with just a small excavator claw/bucket.

Nice table. Ya gotta love getting a 4-star WR and DL.

You never know what might happen with the Fingerhut Commission. Stark State could expand to fill the space if the Can't branch closes. I could see it happening since they already have so many other branches and the state is looking to combine & condense.

That page hasn't been updated in many many months.At least we'll always have the historical photo of the pre-construction hole in the ground. Maybe we can use it to get psyched up for the near-future hole in the ground for the football stadium.

Wow, ask and ye shall receive. I just had to go to avatar settings, remove my avatar, then recopy in the URL & Update and it upped the size. Thanks a lot.

So the taxpayers only lost $583,000 per building...it doesn't sound so bad when you put it that way. If it's such a prime location then it should be worth more than $6 to the developers. If the cost of asbestos removal, etc. is so prohibitive then the city should have been able to get the property for less money than what they paid. I can understand the city wanting to control what gets built there but it seems like they absorbed too much cost for the option as a middleman between private parties.

I'm confused. How were they worth $3.5 million if they're on the verge of being condemned? Would a private investor come in and pay that much plus a lot more for rehab to operate a porn shop (in the internet age...with competitors down the street) or bar? And if they would, why didn't they offer a little more to outbid the city? I agree it's a good thing the city is not trying to redevelop the property itself. I think the story behind the story is who previously owned the buildings and who did they know on city council at the time?

So the city pays $3.5 million for 6 buildings it then sells for $6 and says what a great deal it is for someone to take them off their hands. I'm glad I don't pay taxes in Akron.

Do our board admin's decide avatar size or is it determined by the software? I was wondering if they could be just a little bit larger because almost anything you choose looks a bit squished and hard to see in 64x64 pixels. Just checking. Thanks.

The thing about Hixon is that if he can't compete for first or second string receiver, he may not be kept around just as a KR, and especially if he has any more fumble problems. I don't know if he's playing coverage on kickoffs/punts but that at least would be a feather in his cap. Or if he could handle emergency DB duties. He should be able to play pro somewhere for a good long while tho.
