    Sounds like another Reggie McAdams, multisport star! I wonder if all (or how many of) those other BCS offers are for FB? Some of those offers may be for his brother (see below) But, I see he's in the class of 2015. I can't remember our getting a rising junior to commit this fast before. Way to go Keith and Co.!

    Wow! Talk about an understatement! Now, if you care about alma mater, fight for it's future.

    Did anyone see Jimmy Fallon's MLS All-Star tribute to the players. Including Rihanna Yedlin? And that's after the change to the coiffe.

    Skip, there is no 'bama in collegiate soccer. Just as there is no Creighton in college football. Well, maybe they have a team...do they? Well, anyway if Alabama lost their coach, whoever he is, and they came back the next season with a #23 class, would that be so bad? I bet if Auburn were #24 or anywhere below 23, they'd be happy. All things considered, I think Akron fans are willing to let a less national-player-filled class go, and see how things happen on the pitch. I hope you'll be at the pitch, Skip!

    I hear he was friends with Charlie Manson.

    Wow! Sounds like their top two players. Robinson better find a way to make them eligible. Hey -- Call Can't State for advice!

    Not sure about UA playing in barberton, but I remember YSU playing there while their stadium was under construction in the early 70s. No idea why.

    Hudson? Seriously? I would have thought that just a bit too upper crusty. Or was Hudson diff back then? All I know is Forge Field under the bridge is where my dad pointed to every time we crossed. He said that "Akron You" played there. And I believed him!

    Will there be a Dog Pound at the JAR this season? Anyone have one of those doggie masks, like you see at the whatchmacallit stadium in Clevelend? They probably sell those somewhere in Green, Dave.

    Terribly sorry to inform all you Hudsonians of this, but prior to the Rubber Bowl, the university played its games at "old Forge Field". Everyone know where that is? Next time you're driving North on Route 8, turn to your right and look down as your cross the bridge.

    In case you missed it, we published our 2012-13 Annual Report last month. This past academic year was one of the most productive in Zips Athletics history and this 100-page digital magazine chronicles it all. Be sure to add it to your summer reading list! !Ay caramba!

    When is the drop-dead date to order season tix? ALSO: I just noticed on Gozips.com it says there's a lower alumni ticket price (for womens soccer tix at least). Is that for ALL alumni, or is it the "recent graduate" special? I'll gladly pay $25 for the scarf.

    Did you look that up? I know I would have had to! And I was East Liberty Elementary 5th grade spelling champ.

    Thanks DB. And thanks Shaka!

    "Since graduation rates were first collected in 2002, Akron’s overall six-year college graduation rate increased less than 2 percentage points, from 36.2 to 38 percent. " These numbers have actually improved dramatically over time. The last stats I remember seeing, in US News and World Report, over 20 years ago, showed the overall grad rate then was on the order of 22 percent. Not sure if that was four years or the new "six-year standard". And let me thank those of you posting "without an agenda". lol Edit: AND...My memory serves as proof that graduation rates were NOT first collected in 2002. Or the magazine was l..l..lying. Whatever.

    VERY fascinating info. BUT, how exactly are they defining "subsidy"? Is it just student fees? How about state tax dollars?
  17. Z.I.P.
    You don't have a TV??
  18. Z.I.P.
    Must have been some game -- six yellow cards? Wonder if there's a Cascadia Cup for PDL.

    Okay, but I also vote for the Timber Guy's comment: Nolan Colter1 day ago To my fellow Portland citizens, I bring terrible news. As you know, for the last few years our previous beer mines have been held hostage by a madman - his threats to destroy one for each week the Timbers do not win GotW has forced us to spend nearly our entire lives voting for our team in a weekly contest on a website. However, this week, there were no Timbers goals nominated, and desperate times call for desperate measures. I ask that all of you send a mail-in vote for Caleb Porter to the MLSsoccer.com home offices... without our beer, billions of innocent people in Portland could wind up being involuntarily sober. It's the only way.

    Australian punters? Did Okay for Dallas Cowboys!
  21. Z.I.P.
    I remember that name. Those were times when walk-ins had more chance to compete with scholarship athletes for a job.
  22. Z.I.P.
    Northridge HS? Where's that?
  23. Z.I.P.
    Who's left off? Well, don't tell anyone, but Drew Souders is quickly becoming the new Chad Barson! The most underrated player in town, or for a long way in any direction!

    Another head coach in the Dambrot coaching tree. How many is that now? There will be many more, I know.

    Gee, I wonder what Gozips thinks of this comment: Carmelo Betancourt did not prove much during his freshman campaign, but he will be right in the mix for the starting point guard spot, especially if Evans needs time to adjust. Betancourt is not much of a shooter or a scorer, but if he can keep the turnovers down and get the scorers involved in the offense, the Zips will be happy. I think Carmelo has a lot of potential to score points -- maybe not Rickie Abreu-style, but I'm less concerned with the 1, than the 5.
