Which MAC school would Dave end up at.......nah, it's much too early to start speculating....

Jabari might remain on the practice roster or could bolt to the CFL...I believe it's Edmonton that has rights to him.

"Akron beats Notre Dame", I love the sound of that. It would be really sweet to knock off IU at their place...they kind of have our number and we need to get our number back.Go Zips Soccer !!

Lots of good bulletin board material here..."Thrills and goose bumps might be scarce, though. This one could get ugly.""The Badgers follow up with a Sept. 6 home game against Marshall out of Conference USA. The Thundering Herd was 3-9 last year. Then it gets serious. Wisconsin travels to Fresno State on Sept. 13. The Badgers then go to Michigan and round out the first half of their schedule at home against Ohio State and Penn State."Apparently their first 2 games are not to be taken seriously. Oh well, if we can stay within 4 touchdowns of the Badgers we'll notch the moral victory.

Put a good QB on the field, JD. It's up to you, bud.

State mandated open enrollment? The US News site lists our fall 07 acceptance rate at 82% which is fairly high but apparently not everyone is accepted at UA. Plus, that's only for the General College ... the degree granting colleges have their own acceptance criteria. Some of the Tier 4 schools have acceptance rates in the 50's. A big part of the rankings is input from people in academia nationwide on how they perceive our reputation so that's what has to be improved to move up from T4.

It would be nice if we could work out a lease to play all of our home baseball games at Canal Park and free up the baseball space on Lee Jackson for student recreation and tailgating.

The building itself would have replaced Buckingham on the east side of the tracks and there was to be a fancy plaza with shops, etc. replacing the existing bridge to the CBA, IIRC. Maybe they just wanted a Broadway St address for more of a connection to downtown. I'm sure they're hanging on to any plans and drawings they've done for now.

Congrats to DH. Looks like he has secured a spot in the NFL for another season, even if the Giants don't keep him. The higher-paid star receivers probably don't like to see a performance like that from a relative unknown.I didn't get to see too much of the game...did Chase play a lot and turn in a good performance?

Yeah, I remember it well; it was on the Landscape for Learning wish list for a few years. I think they were trying to fund it privately via large/corporate donors and haven't been able to so far. International Business has been one of our strongly emerging programs and I'm sure they'd still like to do it...at least I haven't heard that it's been completely scrapped. It would be another cool modernistic building that would either connect campus to downtown (spanning the tracks) or act as a big partition. If they made it with an attractive 'front' on both sides it would serve as a nice bridge between the two. But the main thing is, it would also help the city skyline view from the stadium.

Did you shoot against him in college? I see he is an Alaska-Fairbanks alum. It had to suck mistakenly shooting at the wrong target in Athens...they must be placed pretty close together for that to happen Glad he got a silver this time out.

Now it's 'Greatest Athlete in the World':http://www.9wsyr.com/news/local/story.aspx...bd-c6f9ce9e8868Let's see, if he's 23 now and swims until he's 35 he could get in 3 more Olympics after this...scary.

Greatest swimmer ever. I hope we don't hear about doping after this is over.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080813/ap_on_...ly_swm_swimmingLezak was also amazing anchoring the 4x100 freestyle to beat the French.http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/politi/ind...spectacula.htmlI heard that Mark Spitz was upset that nobody invited him to the games for the breaking of his records. I'm a little surprised NBC didn't offer to and dramatize that part of the story a little.

China is kicking our butt in weightlifting. Maybe we should be over there recruiting linemen.

I guess MSNBC is good for something after all US women swept the sabre fencing event.Those Chinese really love their hoops (national team and NBA). Good to see the kid from Akron there. I wonder how many Cavs jerseys were in the crowd?

I see that the west end of the 'Future Building' is shaped like the east end of the Student Center. I wonder if it will be the same angled glass design, which would make a really cool/photogenic backdrop to the OLR.

I need a sun hat like JD's

UC's attempt at a jingle:http://gobearcats.cstv.com/Did UAM come up with this? Well, we've been warned..."the claws are out" !At any rate, it will be good to host another Big East team in Akron.

And still a year to go until the stadium is complete. We might overflow a buffer on this one

Yes, the Goodyear blimps are always in use at large network-covered games, that's why we need our own but I'd think Goodyear would be willing to pitch in. Bring back the Spirit of Akron !

the blog is a nice format but I don't think many people are going to want to supply their name & email address in order to comment...is that really required?
