Z.I.P.

Tressel is now vice president for student success. Alright..but what in the world does he DO??? Is there a position description anywhere?

A 1982 graduate of Duke University with a degree in geology, Jones has done post-graduate work at Indiana University and, in 1989, received a Ph.D. in earth sciences from the University of California-San Diego. At Cornell, Jones was a post-doctoral research associate in the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering. At Illinois, he was a visiting assistant professor of theoretical and applied mechanics. But he most enjoys running in circles.

WOW! Thanks Zip_ME87. Joining his sister, who also plays for Mexico's U-20 WNT.

So you think we're looking at a 4-3-3?

I was just looking at the BC Eagles website. No Andy on their 2013 roster. Wonder if he's giving up on soccer -- he's pre-med and all that, so a bright future.

GP1 and I are not exactly twins in political terms, but one thing we both understand is that politicians maintain their livelihoods by building inanimate objects skyward. And the next generations pay the cost.

GoZips, I believe this is the first time I have seen this post (bettah late den nevah, eh?). Too bad I missed it the first time around, because I would have been really rooting for the Anaheim Classic, as I've always wanted to visit both Disneyland AND Knott's Berry Farm! And I have family and new friends over there in Orange Cty (due to Hawaii soccer). Do you think we'll get to go there any time in the future? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Z.I.P.

So, I take it the Rockettes are over their academic probation? Good luck to them. I see them #2 or three in the east behind EMU and (maybe) WMU. Middle of MAC overall.

Well, if he wears that shirt in Honolulu, he's going to be popular. And I've got just the socks to go with it!

Just curious, did you actually attend any of those games? Mark Alberts set the NCAA record for three-point baskets, making over 100 in a season three times as I recall. Roy Coleman was a talent that could have been all-MAC had he gotten the opportunity. The only thing that kept Akron from winning the Mid-Continent was the near complete lack of a post game. But they were exciting. That said, Deji might have competed for playing time on those teams, not sure.

This is an awesome opportunity for all the Akron fans in Hawaii to see our team in prime time at 9 PM (or ten if after the time change), if we cannot make the trip to Moraga. Thanks Keith!

I like the hula girl kit. Is that one of ours or, yours DB?

February 2004 was the launch.

How long have we been hearing that harangue? Per recent reports, Deji is going to give the starters a run for their money. The only place Deji might go is to the hoop, in the B&G.!

Mr Tressel is forbidden to have any direct contact with the athletic department during the duration of his "show cause" period of probation. How can you be president of a university without direct involvement with athletics? Just asking.

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.
