  1. What about the Hall of Bain?
  2. dismal meloncholy I don't go to the games any more. I don't check the schedule any more. I don't check the scores any more. I didn't even know we had won any games because I wasn't coming on zno for quite some time. The isn't bygone year's sense of discust or even the beaten-down feeling of wanting to give up hope. This is pure apathy. I lost all inclination to care. Never imagined it would be here.... where I can go weeks & weekends without a passing notion to the affairs of zips football When's basketball start?
  3. I spent a few days in Tulsa last year on business and it was in the low 90's every day but felt surprisingly comfortable. Low humidity and a frequent breeze.
  4. And then it would plummet even lower. QUIT GO THE ZIPPERS!!!! \
  5. I think this is a great question. Even when you have success, or more-likely when you have success, the compulsion then is to say "look what we have done! Don't start cutting us off now. The brass ring is within reach!" The goal is not to become self sufficient. The goal is revenue of every kind.
  6. Is she married? http://www.scribol.com/environment/roger-ripped-kangaroo-crushes-metal-buckets
  7. love it! best of luck Akronauts
  8. maybe someone from the Cardinal's front office
  9. You don't have to be a absurd optimist to see that this is really a glass half full for anyone taking a new job. Someone with vision can handle these problems, particularly the attendance issues. And the glass is half full simple because, on each point, there is reason to hope; Football program is unimportant but that could be said in relative terms for any non BCS team. Facilities are great, recruiting area is rich. Coach has a winning history. All that is needed is a vision and a bit of luck. Soccer program has some serious laurels to either rest on, or to take advantage of. Basketball program is among the most stable in all the mid-majors. Again, vision... Not feeble marketing, but vision will fix the attendance issues. Arena? Patience and hard work. This worm can turn.
  10. And we can resurrect my monorail idea from 10 years ago! Instead of just having it cycle around campus, there could be a leg between campuses where that sucker revs up to like 70. Both campuses can have local monotrail trams for getting from one stop to another, and the bullet monorail for getting between campuses. We can put it over Eastland ave and 261. The trams that make frequent stops (called hops) on each campus can be the Roo train. The bullet that flies between campuses can be the Golden flash. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
  11. I think I have heard several times that OU has a nice film program. Also, their mascot attacked Brutus Buckeye. Don't mess with their rep.
  12. Yeah, the point was that they were just hit with it. Perhaps it shouldn't be fully in the hands of the people who have paid or are paying and working there, but the point made earlier about just foisting it on them from out from the clandestine murk of leadership was slammed home when someone walked into commenting on the naming of the mascot which appears to have been a much more transparent process, not to mention more democratic. That's the one to hang your hat on. I'm sure Cardale really is transferring now.
  13. BOOM! That just got hit out of the park
  14. If you work in business, you have to deal with marketing professionals all the time. If you got inside their head, or were a fly on the wall in the private meeting rooms, you'd realize that these organizations are very insecure about their ability to provide a legitimate product that can perform measurably. Fortunately for them, measuring such effects is no provable science. How do you know what would have happened had you not gone to market with their product? These people have a real job. Sales. They are salesmen. Their true goal is to convince someone that the money that was spent on them was worth it. To make them believe that what they do makes a significant positive difference. The actual product, that's just the ploy. The real game is selling the contract. Some agencies and professionals really can make significant difference in the market, with real substantive product. Most are masters of smoke & mirrors, bells & whistles, flash & promise.
  15. All that tradition gone. I will admit it'd be kinda cool to unravel an old mystery to unveal the hidden rock, but wow. Really? Heh, and after removing all that tradition, they aren't even going to leave the rock or restore it, but actually let them start over with paint again? That's even worse. Clean the surface and let the rock get a new natural petina now that all the paint is gone.
  16. I personally don't believe that the "Z" logo is quite stylized or distinct enough to evoke a brand on sight. It might be different if Akron was a top BCS school with consistent national exposure where a mundane letter symbol can evoke representation of an entity, but we are not that, and as it stands in 5 years the Z logo will still be just a semi-obscure logo. I still think they should swep the points more, swoosh top and bottom strokes as if robust yet graceful samurai blades, and increase the accents. After seeing it a few times, people will recognize what it is and who it belongs to.
  17. NEO vs NWO. That's awesome Keener. Obviously Neo is the good guy and the New World Order are the bad guys.
  18. Do you remember when they had the construction cam up? You could see clearly before they did anything else, they sunk a large number of piers down to bedrock to support the structure. There is no reason for any actual structure to be sinking except perhaps any slab on grade portions of the project such as outer walkways or maybe the giftshop area...
  19. The Zipper Flashers You K3nt see our rubbers
  20. The University of Akron Ohio's Polytechnic University Retardaliciously redundant For the first time ever, I'm starting to think I should have got my degrees from Can't [edit] If you're going to be redundant, go big or go home. Why not "The University of the Universe. The Universe's Polytechnic University. Universally Versital". Jokes aside, if they adopt that, it MUST be temporary for the transition to eventually dropping The University of Akron and just becoming Ohio Polytechnic University. There's no other reason for a Title like that
