Nice comment. Did you learn that class from your coach? Good season for you guys. Congrats on the win.

He crossed the line by going for 2, already up 31. If my HC choices for the next 10 years came down to Bowden and Kiffin, I'd take Bowden, even with Milwee as his OC.

Will Bowden get a contract extension?

Wait what? Did I miss something? I didn't realize we showed up for our games in Detroit & Boca. -

Senderoff owes Dambrot a thank you for potentially saving his job after Akron laid an egg in last year's MAC Championship Game. Bowden owes Solich a thank you if he's brought back/extended. No way would I extend Bowden based on this year, and I'd consider relieving him of his duties, especially if he refuses to make any changes to his coaching staff. -
Supposedly FAU really wanted him out of high school. They can have him. And LaVar.

Up 34-3, Lane goes for 2. Classy.

Let's play soccer! Clap clap clapclapclap!

After further review, we'll have to wait until the next possession to see if they can stop him twice.
-
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Kiffin! We do have a high class band, in all seriousness.

With 34 seconds left in the first half and 2 timeouts, we run a delayed handoff, waste 20 more seconds, run another handoff, get to the 50 yd line, and refuse to take a timeout. Unbelievable.

Maybe he should quit talking so much and focus more on lining up correctly.
-
Milwee is so bad.
-
What a dirty, dirty hit. See ya, #14. THAT WASN'T TARGETING? Looks like some of Kiffin's extension went into the pockets of the refs.

Or you get a guy that has pi$$ed people off everywhere he's been, and needs to rebuild his reputation.

So beautiful.

Game 8—Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils
Let'sGoZips94 replied to Dr Z's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
They are roadblocks when it comes to getting out of the MAC, but not when it comes to winning individual/big games. -
Wow. I wonder if Indiana is happy with their decision of relieving Tom Crean of his duties. I know it takes time to install a system and rebuild a program, but one would think the foundation at Indiana would be at least higher than IPFW. That's 2 blow-out losses to in-state schools this year for Indiana, with neither of the in-state schools they've lost to named Notre Dame or Purdue.

Wait, what? So having political thoughts is part of the problem? I don't identify with a political party either, but I have political thoughts based around certain ideals. That's not the problem in the least. 1) I don't even know where to begin. 2/3) There's a difference between putting people in positions to succeed based on their personal experience in that field, and putting lobbyists in positions as favors. I don't know how I feel about DeVos, but her idea of privatizing our educational systems shouldn't be automatically dismissed. Actually, several of Trump's cabinet picks have the goal of privatizing at least certain parts of their departments. Government is too big. Privatizing certain areas would kill two birds by shrinking government (therefore cutting spending, stretching our tax dollars the extra mile and even allowing more tax cuts), and drain the swamp. There is nothing wrong with people getting rich in a free market, capitalist society. There is something wrong with people getting rich on my/our tax dollars (Obama, Bernie Sanders, Clintons, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, John McCain to name a few). Look deeper into Trump and his actions, by the way. They are far from the swamp. He has been donating the presidential salary. Melania cut the number of her assistants from Michelle's 24 (totaling $1.24M in annual salaries) to 4 (less than $500k in annual salaries), saving the tax payers hundreds of thousands already. The number of people working for Trump is down 110 people from Obama's staff, saving taxpayers $5.1M per year. He took care of ISIS. He's been deregulating the economy and EPA, which promotes job growth and takes the foot off our farmers' throats, but maintaining an emphasis on taking care of our planet. Look at what our economy is doing (BOOMING); economies don't boom like this under the swamp's socialist leadership and policies. Instead of funding other countries, he's taking that money and putting it into our infrastructure, military, and other areas of need that have been neglected. Draining the swamp isn't about preventing already wealthy people from getting wealthier with their own business. Draining the swamp is about preventing the overgrowth of government and foreign influence in our government; it's about preventing our capitalist republic from being destroyed, and preventing our government from taking advantage of the people for their own gain. Have you heard about Uranium One? How about Operation Fast and Furious? Did you see the Politico article about Obama preventing the DEA from doing its job (they were targeting drug trafficking by the Iran-sponsored terrorist group Hezbollah) in order for the Iran Nuclear Deal to go through? THAT'S the swamp. THAT'S what needs drained. The fears that have been mentioned, they're repetitive talking points from a playbook co-written by Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx. They pray on the public's bleeding hearts and fears. If you don't agree with them, they then label you as racists, sexists, homophobes, misogynist, etc. Do you know how many times I've been called those things, or an extremist? HUGE amounts; like Trump's exaggerations amounts (see, I can have fun ). Are they true? Heck no. My beliefs stem from our Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the Golden Rule - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Does that sound so extreme, racist (no, I don't share the belief in slavery that of the Founding Fathers had), sexists, homophobic, misogynistic, etc.? No? Then be careful with the personal attacks. As I previously stated, politics is a very important topic to discuss, and I don't believe it's something that shouldn't be publicly discussed. However, when it is discussed, it needs to be done in a civil manner. We have gotten so far off the topic of Net Neutrality, so I will most likely end my involvement with this thread with this post. Good talk, gentlemen. As always, Go Zips and .

Responses in order of the bold... - In general in the last 17 years, I think people have voted based on issues that don't matter, at least not nearly as much. But last year's election was fully based on important issues. - Trump is doing what he can to drain the swamp. I believe he's a chess master, playing 10 moves ahead of his opponents. Hence why he hasn't fired Mueller and the special counsel; he's letting them discredit themselves, and eventually they'll go away. There are certainly some questions I have, but ISIS has largely been defeated, the economy looks to be headed like a freight train in the right direction (like I said, we need to get our spending under control and lower our debt), and tax cuts (although I don't think taxes are being cut enough) look to be getting passed. A lot of good is happening for me to believe he is keeping his word on most everything. - The swamp put in Net Neutrality. Why would they want to get rid of it? The swamp is largely of the same ideological group that is crying about it being gone. Also, keep in mind who put Net Neutrality in place in 2015 - the same people that gave us the Affordable Care Act, which there is nothing affordable about. Just like there is nothing neutral about 2015 Net Neutrality. They label their big ideas as such that the sheep in society buy into it.

There's an Ohio Bobblehead Collectors page on Facebook for anyone looking to make a bit on their unwanted bobbleheads.

He was the first president since Hoover to never see an annual GDP growth of 3%. Don't kid yourself. The reason he never saw 3% GDP growth, even in the years where he had 4-6% quarters, was because the other quarters were so incredibly poor, even negative at times. Additionally, if we're throwing out the outliers at the beginning of a presidency, Trump hasn't seen a quarter of GDP growth under 3% yet. Again, I don't want to get into Trump vs. Obama. Talk about escalated Groce vs. Dambrot discussion.

Wait just a minute. You're telling me being the only mid-major on the list of teams with X amount of consecutive seasons with 21+ wins, that didn't separate us? This makes sense. I forgot about the conference realignment that took place. I am surprised CBS or Fox hasn't restarted it. -
What was the loophole they exploited, and what was the benefit for the corporations? What if the status-quo was improper to begin with? Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, it is still against the law for these ISPs to selective throttle or accelerate individual sites. I'm not siding with lawyers; I'm on the side of capitalism and a free market. It's amazing how the government will close the supposed loophole these corporations found in the internet/Net Neutrality, but won't simplify the tax code and close the tax loopholes that each of them and their lobbyists exploit. The bold part above shows a lack of understanding of the basic principles of this country. The Constitution was written to protect the people from the tyranny of government; they weren't written to portray government as some sort of God, with the Bill of Rights being its Ten Commandments. First of all, I said most things. Some regulations to keep an industry/companies honest and accountable can be good. I don't believe I've yet made a blanket, 100% statement about the evils and corruption in government. Second of all, my "narrow" point of view is hardly "narrow" as it has a pretty expansive view of the history of the world, not just the US. The US is a very unique country, with its Constitution and capitalist economy, yet still being VERY young. Third of all, for every example shared about government being "good", I can share multiple, negative examples of government involvement. This is a back and forth I don't want to get into at this point in time, but would be more than happy to debate/discuss another time. To get back to the main purpose of this thread, we are now a couple days into the repeal of Net Neutrality. Have any of you lost your internet capabilities and accessibility?

Why did those go away again?
