  1. thats a good point. I wonder if they'll still use the Indiana game as the big party for the opening of the stadium, but that might be a little awkward if there already was a game there the week before...lol, that's why I suggested they play it at the rubberbowl.
  2. this is great So are they going to update the ticker on the stadium page... or is this Morgan St game not going to be "official" home opener
  3. Who cares who it's against. When is it?According to Rasor's blog it will be on September 12, the week before Indiana.Is it going to be at the rubber bowl?
  4. Not to be picky but the guy didn't say that you hadn't been legitimately tailgating. He said you hadn't done any authentic collegiate tailgating. Please consult your Official Collegiate Tailgating Manual for the distinction. something tells me that tailgaiting > 'Official Collegiate Tailgaiting'
  5. WKYC news spot on the stadium (with video)http://www.wkyc.com/news/regional/akron_ar...959&catid=6
  6. It's true.There was nothing but excitement surrounding him as a draft pick and rookie. His 2007 numbers were great, though he did have drops that year too, he made the pro bowl.2008 saw some of the most inopportune drops put together by one player.No one likes criticism, but the way Braylon is seems to be in denial about his own issues is not a good sign.
  7. Well, now you're giving the marketing team ideas. They don't like those.
  8. STIMULUS!Hey Barrack! Think of the jobs it would create!Maybe LeBron would agree to do a ground-breaking photo-op with Barrack... I'm sure the President would love the opportunity to be seen with King James
  9. I concede I could easily be very wrong.I just hope that if they are going to make the investment, then they are sure to make it a place that makes the experience for the fan, including ample parking in the vicinity.
  10. I don't like the idea of building down town. I understand the fact you don't make as much off of student attendance, and I understand that in order to attract a more mature audience someplace like the JAR is not optimal, but I just don't see the huge investment of building an arena downtown paying off.The only way to make it work (not even counting the fact that you will need to continue and increase our success on the court) is if you create a premium experience. This means, better access, better convenience, and better amenities. In other words, it would be a huge mistake to invest all those millions of dollars on an arena when parking is limited, and invariably the project will end up taking economic liberties with comfort. The bean counters will just want to know how many seats there are... not what it feels like to sit in one. And just because you can get a Joey to maybe take interest because there is a wings-N-Beer joint next door doesn't mean you're going to fill the place.
  11. pdt1420 beat you by 2 mins.http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?sh...c=13282&hl=
  12. OMFG! I thought it was California that was supposed to fall into teh ocean, not Canada.You took a wrong turn at Albuquerque Johnny.
  13. Personally I don't understand that everyone is so angsty about.The media are a nothing but a bunch of front-running blurb-misers.The big dogs do it (most of the time just yanking their blurbs off the AP), and the little guys only want to be just like the big dogs."Local Programming" is too much like work when you can just act as a conduit for the networks and the syndication.It's all about taking the path of least resistance.Don't waste your time buying into the hype when these media outlets portray themselves as 'local', 'caring', and in-touch.They are nothing but content re-packagers. Ad space is king.I just want those kids to enjoy their time to shine and do something they can be proud of.I don't care who is tooting their horns. I'm not expecting anyone to carry our water.Let's just enjoy the ride
  14. (AP) Gonzaga hopes to avoid one and done
  15. fourth click... I set the upset tolerance to 5

  17. I think that if I was able to get a pair, i wouldn't wear them.... however, I would try to get them in my shoe size anyway
  18. I'll be in my bunk
  19. uhh.... what? *tokes* That wuz profound dood. Go flushes...er......
  20. Didn't see the game... but to me the quantity of the calls isn't as important as the consistency in callsA block on one side of the floor should never be a charge when the same things happens on the other end... and all too often, I see that very problem and sometimes I just want to swear off watching basketball all-together because of it.
  21. See today's PD. Awesome Zips and MAC coverage. It dwarf's CSU's.Have you ever been happy?*knock on wood jinxunjinx* Let me submit the theory that if Akron wins the MAC tourney and gets into the NCAA dance, they will probably get more coverage from the Cleveland media with CSU also in it.... rather than the little blurbs Akron would get otherwise.... simply because of the heightened buzz about the big dance all together.But that's all academic. The zips have lots of work to do.
  22. I dunno why.... this made me laugh. What's wrong with me? *hangs head in shame*
  23. This stuff takes time.... Seriously. I was a tall kid who couldn't add a lot of weight when I was 18. You got to do it right. Work hard, play hard, eat tons, and sleep8.... and over a long period of time, you fill out AND increase your strength and speed.BTW, thanx for the vids. LOL@teabagging.zipwatcher.
  24. It's symbolic. Not suspending Singletary would have sent a bad message, about Can't's program, and about the MAC and about the game.You can argue about how long is appropriate and all that, but the point is that something was done. That's what matters.You may think it's a "slap on the wrist", but the point was made. He got an ejection that lasted nearly four quarters, and then he was rebuked by the organization he played for. The message was sent.
