Anyone know when tickets go on sale? I've been a season ticket holder for years and haven't received anything from the ticket office yet but during the UA-UC football game I heard Steve French mention that they were on sale. Other than posting prices, there's nothing on gozips.com to actually say they are selling them.

As a point of info to Ballingirl's post, the RB used to sell beer and went dry in the 80's about the time that the drinking age went from 18 to 21.
IMHO, student attendance was better (especially Greek) before it was dry. I can remember them bringing in kegs "disguised" so they could drink in the end zone bleachers.

Scott Johnson is still the head trumpet guy there and he still plays with the Paragon Brass. I see him mostly when Paragon comes to play for our church services.Galen Kerriker (sp?) is the marching band director and Bob Jorgenson is the Dir. of Bands.I'm definately looking forward to more fun with the "rookie" band and seeing the old timers again! Hopefully we'll have better weather than last year."Run it back, rookies!!!!!!!!"

Hey Alumni !!! It's that time of year again, it's time for Alumni Band 2006.

What... no ABJ?FYI: Place your informational faith regarding Zips recruiting in this priority:1.) ZipsNation2.) Pittsburgh Trib/Post Gazzette & Ohio Varsity3.) Scout/Rivals4.) Others -
I wonder if burning Aaris Reed's redshirt was a good idea or not. The way Walker was running most of the game and the success of the passing game, I can't see why we couldn't have finished the game without him. Granted it got him some real game experience, but I like having some redshirt guys that become 5th year seniors. Maybe JD's recruiting class is strong enough in RB's that it won't matter.

OK, I'll admit that the ABJ does cover UA and Can't State and that occasionally both get some mention on TV news (usually only when they are in the tournament), but I would like to see more consistency. EVERY OSU game gets mentioned. Why can't they mention EVERY UA and (I hate to say this) every Can't State game? I watched the TV news the other night after we beat NTSU and there was no mention of it on two different news stations; not even a quick "Akron beat North Texas in their home opener this evening". Before the game, I hear radio sports news and they mention the OSU game coming up this weekend, but fail to mention the local teams' games (and UA bought advertising on one of them!). All I'm asking for is a little recognition: if they are going to mention OSU, they need to also at least mention the local schools.5. They both compete for news coverage: ABJ, Plain Dealer, local tv news. No, they are both covered. They must compete with the Browns, Cavs, and Indians too then. -
Any chance anyone can get the Cleveland TV news to help pimp the game? Cleveland and Akron radio also? With many people not getting the "local" newspaper, this might be the only way they will know it is happening.I'd love to see it continue for the rest of the season too!UA =

The sign at the entrances showing what was not allowed in the stadium had umbrellas taped over. I suspect that they would rather people have to spread out to see around people with umbrellas rather than not attend.
-
That's where the "multi-use facility" and the possible combination with retail/restaurant would really help. I hope they can get a good design that incorporates these and be able to get a nice lease for the space.Also, increased sales of Zips gear (and more new availble and varied items) should be able to help if we keep winning in all sports.We don't want to burry the athletic program/University in operating costs for a giant stadium that sits half full on game day. -
I disagree. Attendance in the late 70's/early 80's was much better than the past 15 years. The bowl was filled with 30-40k people for the annual "Acme-Zip" game to start the season. I think we need to have at least the same size as the Rubber Bowl to start and be expandable to some larger size, whatever that may be based on future goals/conference requirements/etc.It's ignorant to go with Akron's present and past attendances to derive your conclusion. -
The article was on the front page, bottom left (I actually bought one today!), then the story continued on pg A9.

Not a bad idea, but you would also have to remove the metal supports that I believe are concreted in (not cheap & easy like unbolting the broken seats). You would end up either standing the whole game or sitting on the concrete steps that remain (if the concrete doesn't fall through either :blink: )just take the bleachers out if they're broke. -
With the loss last week to who most of the community sees as a nobody and the current weather forecast, I'm predicting less than 10k, but I hope the rain stays away and we draw 25k.

After "Summa Field" is finished, I vote to replace the JAR with a facility that can handle basketball, volleyball and hockey!
-
It'd also be great to be in some blowouts so we can get the backups some experience for next season.

I was trying to listen to it on the radio. They mentioned it had been moved to ESPN2, then shortly after that it went to ESPN for the final drive. The radio (1350AM) sucked. It was dead air for the entire 96yd drive, cut to news while the game was still in progress, and on several occasions they had commercials playing at the same time as other programming. I couldn't listen to the post-game since it was multiple feeds playing simultaneously.

looks like "COMLOC" is short for Comcast Local... in this case, Southfield, MI. (I clicked on the "COMLOC" link and it showed the station info)
-
Everything I saw in lots of places was reprints of the AP story.
-
I'm sure other establishments in the area would love to know how much business they lost because they didn't cater to the hometown team.
-
and they did so well recording the score... 34-16 , not 36-14
but still -
how about flyers to pass out at the local
establishments or t-shirts to wear to games?bumper stickers?The more places that ZNO shows up, the more seriously the 
ABJ will have to take us. -
From what I've heard, in recruiting they used to give up on some prospects that were being recruited by the "big boys", but now they stay in there in hopes they will snag one away. Sounds like "fighting back" to me!

Sounds like most of the politicians during election seasonMark can focus on trying to bring Jason down, rather than trying to bring himself up. He can badmouth Jason. He can ridicule the things he does and the accomplishments he has had. He can call the people who like and respect Jason idiots, and boast that if they support Jason, that they can't support him as well. He can complain about the attention Jason gets, and bitch about how all of the best girls go to Jason and not him. He can "wage war" on Jason, although Jason didn't really do anything wrong...unless working your way to the top is considered wrong these days.
