LosAngelesZipFan - One of these days I'd LOVE to say goodbye forever to Ohio winters BUT I can't stand the thought of not being able to drive 15 minutes to the JAR to watch our Zips. Same with football season as disappointing as those have been for the most part. Can't wait to make the drive north in a little while and feel for ya. Great to know there are Zips fans all around the country and as far away as LA and HI cheering Akron on. Have fun this afternoon watching the game. GO ZIPS!!!...and at least one in Pittsburgh

Not bad for a first cut. Thanks to the moderators for the financing/effort in creating this new feature. I love it!

Would love to see what the OU board has to say about this one!I was hoping OU would win and give Can't a long, physical game in the semi's, so that they are worn down if and when we play them in the finals.

There should also be a way to post the live chat from one hour prior to one hour after a game to a message board so that others who were at the game or could not interact during the game have a chance to catch up with the in-game commentary.

I think it would definitely help for JT to join an NFL team that is affiliated with an area that JD recruits (i.e. Pittsburgh). A winning team would be nice too as I'd love to see JT play in the Super Bowl.(All this from a Dolphins fan!)

http://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...;ATCLID=1410730...? I'm surprised. The all-MAC first-team is stacked!

The Ohio Board of Regents must approve all program additions and changes for any state supported programs. This group oversees and inventories all other programs currently available in Ohio before considering to add another. To some extent, Case Western is even required to interact with this board.http://regents.ohio.gov/They would never allow UA to add its own medical school while keeping NEOUCOM. The best opportunity for UA would for NEOUCOM to be moved to Akron and incorporated as a school within the university. The addition of the training center, biomedical corridor, and an orthopedic research center are all positive signs that such a transition is beginning to happen. However, the other schools would never approve it as a pure coup. Therefore, I recommend UA forfeit its positions in the BS/MD program in exchange for a move of the medical/pharmacy school to campus and within the structure of the university. This would strengthen the opportunities for students, researchers, and the hospitals while also being attractive to the other universities in the consortium.NEOUCOM currently performs <$3million worth of research annually, which is by far the lowest of any medical school in the country. In part, this is due to the weak collaborative efforts with the hospitals and consortium universities. To put this in perspective, Harvard and Johns Hopkins have >$1billion dollars worth of research. Even good public schools like OSU and Pitt (where I am currently a student) perform around $400million worth of research. Hence, NEOUCOM provides an extremely poor return on investment. The only way it can be strengthened is to move the medical/pharmacy school to Akron and strengthen its relationship with collaborating hospitals and universities (especially UA).

Don't say something like that unless you intend to share the details with those of us who weren't fortunate enough to be there.

Went to Cleats in Green because they said that they would have the game. They didn't get it, instead the screen kept saying "Program not purchased". What a bummer, spent $22.00 on drinks and never saw the game.Guess you don't go back there for a game anymore. As Zips fans, we need to make statements to these businesses by influencing their bottom line. You think it would be an issue if it were an OSU game?...I don't.

I wish this project was taking place in the lots directly across the street from Canal Park. Those lots are garbage and closer to the Polsky building and parking deck.

I doubt Can't will be "in the hunt" for a win in this game!

So if Can't moved to the Big East or something where do you think that would put us?I don't even want to think of Can't moving out of the MAC before we do...especially to the Big East. I don't see it happening though because their football program and facilities are so far behind ours.

Easy there killer...I understand your passion for the game, but the vulgarity is not necessary and only diminishes the intellectual credibility of your post. Let's try to hold ourselves to higher standards than those hippies to the east.[MODERATOR EDIT] Sanitized these posts for the innocent ears & eyes.

Thanks for the info. Both recruits seem to be very strong players.At least we didn't lose the OHIO POY to OSU who had an almost miraculous run to the finals in the NCAA tournament this year. If Green gets home sick at UNM, I could see him transferring to UA.

Joe, congratulations and welcome to UA! Sure we want you to play hard, but I in particular would also like to see you earn a degree. I'm sure some of the others on this board agree, but have neglected to say so.I look forward to seeing you on the field.

This means our QB might actually have someone to throw to this coming season.

Let's squash this discussion while the season is still going on!...We have a good team and as we know, anything can and does happen in the MAC Tournament. So, we should be excited about the opportunity to go dancing and play in the post-season THIS YEAR!

Get off the board...it's exceedingly obvious that you aren't a fan of UA even though you might be a student as evident by most of your posts in the past twenty-four hours. You're more of a Can't sympathizer than and UA supporter.I currently attend Pitt and the fundraising campaign here was begun in late 2000 and completed earlier than originally intended. The original goal was $500 million, which was obtained and raised to $1 billion and again, obtained and raised to $2 billion without a definitive time constraint. Universities do this so that no matter what the giving rate, the goal can be accomplished, which is an indication of success (and not failure if there were a set timeframe and the goal was not achieved).http://www.pitt.edu/giving.html

After the season we had, we beat out WVU and Purdue among others for this guy? JD must be one hell of a great salesman!

How 'bout after the big win on Thursday night someone puts a caption on the picture that says "Zippy's Bitch!"

Sad, but unfortunately true.

...and it certainly didn't help us get an at-large bid to ANY post-season tournament.

It's a good night to get to bed early and catch up on sleep as well.

I had always assumed it was to make light of their yuppy student body and alumni base.

1) A Nike commercial with Lebron featuring Keith Dambrot in Zips gear,2) No injuries throughout the season, and3) Continued improvement throughout the season (unlike the football team's season).
