Man I wish 23 news was still on over-the-air TV!

I was there for our game with IU, but may not go this week... I'll be semi-trapped in my house since the annual Akron RR Marathon runs by and it's a pain to go anywhere from my house then. Hope WUAB shows well on my rabbit ears then.Oh, and

any clue what we (alumni band) get to play? would be cool to play some of the MF and CM tunes. hope the new/temp(?) director includes us like we have been in the past.

anyone have access to the text of the story?

I agree it was a very bad move. And wasn't it just the pregame show, not the actual game?

Couldn't WEWS have continued to run the game and had a crawler that said the OSU pregame show/game will be joined as soon as the UA/Can't State game finished? Or run a picture box of the other show in the corner? A close game no matter who is playing should be exciting and continued until it's finished IMHO.

I missed pregame - traffic was bad trying to get in... guess we should have left a bit earlier. Sat about ten rows above the band so we got a good view of what went on. They were pretty good during most of the game.Now how about some constructive criticism: the new director seemed to miss the time-out opportunities (or the Can't band was playing and I couldn't hear them) and seemed to be a long delay between when time was called and when something began to be called to play. Also, I know you can't do much when it's band day, but the opening number done without the other bands had NO energy/excitement. Sure you may have done a perfect 6/5, hit all of your notes, turns, etc., but how much energy did that give to the fans watching? I was bored stiff! Corps bands have a place, but I still don't think they are the right thing for a halftime show. Gimme Central State, OSU, CFHS, Massillon, Berea, Manchester, etc... much more energy and fun! The plus side was the flag unfurling... added some energy to the closing. I was reminded of the old Shriners games when the drunken old guys would come out to unfurl the flag...upside down once actually!I also noticed the Sousaphones could use refinishing. Wonder if that could be done by the '09 season?

Zippy's down 100 votes! We need help! Everyone vote!

10:08... getting ready to head out...

OK, I'll give them most of that, but how could they get K.S.U.? Kansas State? Hello?

Dr. P clears it up...Akron News Now report with audio

8:01 PM and Tear 'em up tomorrow!

NEOUCOM is not going anywhere. They just built new facilities for one. There are already two medical schools in Cleveland: Case and the new one at UH. Dayton is a private school, not a state school.

NEOUCOM is a joint effort between UA, Can't State and YSU. I don't see them moving anytime soon. (My wife is a physician who went to NEOUCOM).

will it be visible from 8?

50 points for the 50th Wagon Wheel...Zips - 27Can't - 23Igor comes thru with a FG to win.

they're just trying to preserve the bleachers for a few more games

FYI.. anyone who didn't see the end of the Mackey news release... 8:45 and still

I'm going and bringing the wife and hoping some friends will come too.

Weather forecast for Saturday so far is 79 and partly sunny... should be an EXCELLENT day to whoop them!

You'd think that the upcoming game this weekend is just another game... where's a story in the ABJ about either team? Nowhere!

After digging thru ohio.com to find anything, I got the impression that it was an internet-only story.

Zippy is #2 now and closing in on #1 (about 500 behind "Cocky")... let's keep voting!
