  2. Travel Ban

    Any doors that have been closed on Millennials were not closed by anyone arguing on this board.   They were closed by the fiscal criminal negligence of the previous two or three generations.   No your hard work will not pay off.   It can't.    It's what they teach you in macro-economics 101.   If your nations GDP runs in a major deficit for a long time and you have to borrow massive debt from other nations, your Standard of Living absolutely must suffer an economic correction.   Cut right down to the core of the matter, if your nation as a whole is producing less and buying more, you need to produce more to offset your debt or pay for it with lower standard of living.    There are no good high paying jobs for making things because on-the-whole, you aren't buying your own things as a national economy.  

    There are ways to offset the loss of your standard of living.  Tricks that the government and fed does.   Borrowing and printing money are the most obvious.  

    If you think the doors are closing now, just wait.   The real correction hasn't really even started yet.   You can thank everyone from the boomers to Gen-X.   You're Fukkked!   Political parties have nothing to do with it.   They were and are all corrupt and criminally negligent arseholes, and they are untouchable.

  6. Evaluating Coach Dambrot

    What does that matter when we lose whenever it really matters?  

     

    Again, I'm going to stress that I AM NOT CALLING FOR DAMBROT TO BE FIRED.  I am calling for The Zips to give a damn about changing the culture of meh.  Because honestly, I'm personally getting more and more bored with following the Zips.  Win 20 games a year and lose in the MAC C is boring to me.  Win 20 games and lose to any team worth a damn is boring to me.  Sorry, it is.  Maybe I was spoiled because we went to the NCAA every-other-year when I was in college...but the program to me has lost a lot of spunk.

    I think I had a kneejerk rejection to what I thought was the premise of this thread but I can sympathize with what you are saying and now that I think about it, perhaps you are right.  Maybe even if it's not an audit from the top-down, perhaps Keith Dambrot himself needs to re-evaluate the nature of his organizational approach, strategy, and philosophy, perhaps by seeking outside consult.  Like I said before, the fear is that we go backwards by rattling the cage, but surely this is an irrational fear and there is no need to get defensive, and something seems to be needed to get over the hump to the next level

    KD has gotten our teams to more big games than the rest of the MAC combined. He's bound to have more losses in those games. Would I like to have won more of them? Sure. But I guess what I'm getting at is this is a debate best not made fresh off a championship game loss to our rival. We could do a lot worse than KD

    The discussion should be how to get over the hump, not complaining about how good it's been in the guise of it being bad.

  13. KD and Coaching

    I was out of town and unable to watch the Buffalo game. I don't think he was out-coached by a rookie Buffalo head coach, but just the mistakes KD made. I do have to laugh, I saw in an interview that he referred to Big Dog as LeBron James. I was thinking more LeBROWN DERBY but ok... Let's see how Coach D does against Ohio State tonight. 

     

    Everybody has been taking KD's comments out of context.   I saw some announcers doing it, I think I saw it in an article, and I've seen people here do it.

    I don't have the exact quote, but I'm fairly certain I can paraphrase in the proper context.   He said that he was 'going to pretend like he still has Lebron James sand run everything through him'.
    In other words, he wasn't saying Big Dog is the chosen one.  He was just saying that he wanted to run the offense through him, something he once did when he had Lebron.
    KD was even asked later in the interview if he was comparing BigDog to LeBron and he said, no, if anything BigDog is more like a Shaq then a LeBron.

  14. Zips @ Buckeyes — March 15th 7pm on ESPN

    So a big discussion on selection Sunday was the difference between the mediocre teams in power conferences and the otherwise successful teams.

     

    So, as predicted yesterday on this very service, NIT bracket; (6)Akron will Play in Columbus against (3)Ohio State.

     

    Can this discussion have any realistic input from this contest when it is not played on a neutral court?

    Wow. 
    Is this game going to be on a replay somewhere?

    I was listening to most of the game but with about 10 minutes left and things were looking awfully dismal, but had to take a meeting.   Left the game on at low volume in my office even though I probably shouldn't have, and I could hear French yelling at various points and wanted to turn it up but then the company president joined the meeting in my office and I had to turn it off.  D'oh!

     

    So I turn WARF back on after the meeting, and LO, they hath won.


    I would really like to watch the end of this game.

    A product worth following will boost attendance in Akron - that is obvious by the attendance at our basketball games.  Once again Capt you have shown what a classy/diplomatic moderator you are.
