  1. I dunno. The shot looks deliberate, but it doesn't look hard to me. Yes, I understand that everyone is a bit tender there. He should get a one game suspension for deliberately dirty play. That's probably about it.Nate isn't a wuss, right? He doesn't need a bunch of momma's trying to throw their skirts in front of him. I think Can't should be pressured to issue a suspension and when that happens, we need to stop the hissy.

  2. lol, it's as if we got blown out or something.two or three crucial momentary differences in that last minute and you guys would be reveling in what a great game it was because we hung in there and pulled it out in a close one.I'm sorry, I know that when you invest your emotions you get jilted the swing from high to low get's multiplied, but I just can join you guys in your barf-fest. :puke::tomato: It's just a game. We'll get 'em next time.

  3. I consider myself a fan, and I only mention that because I am sure the statement will be called into question after I say what I'm about to say, but I can't seem to bring myself to the levels of desperate anger you guys get when we lose a game.These players are competators and I have no doubt take the loses harder that we do.Do you really need to get this upset?

  4. What looming issues are you speaking of?
    Simply $$. No one has any money at this time. Unless you're a mortician, everyone's business is in the crapper. It is tough to raise money in this economic climate. A lot tougher than anyone would have projected even 6-8 months ago. If things stay as-is for the next 4-6 months, I'll be selling my plasma across from the stadium rather than attending games inside it.
    :rofl: oh noe!maybe the U can buy out the plasma place and turn it into a special stadium admissions gate whereby you get ticket discounts on game day for donating plasma. They could build a bridge over the intersection.
  5. ppl want luxury. They don't wanna sit on wood benches.This is why I said a few years ago, I hope the stadium planners are smart enough to invest in decent seating, or tickets will not keep selling like they otherwise would.Now I understand that students and "real fans" have a different perspective and like being in the middle of everything, but many potential ticket buyers want to be in the loges and club seats because they think they can enjoy a game without being a packed sardine on a plank.What are the new seats going to be like in the bowl and stands?

  6. 3) Spend resources to market MAC Athletics to the general public in the region.
    I could be crazy, but I would consider it an investment to virtually "give away" television contracts for 5 years.From that, MAC get's better exposure in their markets, and builds a larger fan base, and the the networks with the contracts get content at a minimal cost during which to run ads and make money.When you build up more interest in your programs, people get hooked. The contracts will make money later, and interest in your school's programs will rise.Currently, the MAC schools get minimal television time. As far as people in Ohio, S.Michigan, N.Illinois, and those other markets are concerned, their MAC programs are in the same black hole as HS sports. Hell, even H.S. games get more air time. It's ridiculous....and no, it is not an investment to give in to ESPN so they can hide the few MAC games that they do air on unavailable networks and odd time slots
  7. Let's just be the best team in a bad conference and not worry about all of the outside issues. I think this is a really positive way to look at our sports programs. Marshall never cared that they were the best team in a bad conference. They had fun winning championships and could have cared less what anyone thought of them or the MAC.
    End of discussion.winning is fun, although if you're in a bad conference and you are winning, it's always in the back of your mind... but we aren't even dominating (yet :chair: ) so the whole discussion is moot.Let's start kicking some arse, and then let's b1tch about the conference
  8. thats great news! hahai somehow doubt the dozers will be tearing into that place on march 2, tho. probably won't be till mid to late march. I think they have to go in there with a deconstruction crew to clear out as much reusable and recycleable material as possible.
    Most likely this is what they will be wearing:071205-radman.jpg

  9. I am utterly amazed at the amount of time this tired subject keeps getting. :zzz::zzz: Let me guess, someone had already started a "JD is gone after this year" thread? :zzz::zzz:
    This is my sentiments to, but then I just tell myself "ah well, it's a fan forum... some people have their pet topics. Whaddaya gonna do?"It's not like we are going to debate Kant & Nietzsche
  10. Guys guys guys.... If you get your structural done, and all the services in place (the utilities, the communications equipment, and the operations equipment), you're not going to cancel a game just because they didn't lay carpet in the 4th floor offices or because there are no baby changers in the concourse level bathrooms, or because the logo wasn't painted on the loge level wall, or because the air conditioning wasn't tweaked properly in the visiting locker rooms *cough* bottom of list *hint* *cough*mmkay?

  11. The subway must have moved since your time. It's now located on the SE corner of that intersection. The place that was formerly subway is now the former home of the greatest $5 pizza that you never had to wait for... Pizza NOW!!! got me through alot of weekend benders.
    Okay, yeah. The Subway WAS at the west end of the carwash building.Personally, I'd be excited to see the university grab up all that area between spicer and rt.8 and really make it into something nice.I like that whole Greek Village concept... I mean, if you make an entire park-like area with a bit of a southern Mediterranean feel to it and put in buildings for residences and fraternities / sororities, it would go a LONG way to giving the university a more residential and less commuter atmosphere
  12. Anyone know the status of that run down car wash(?) across the street from the stadium? Does UA have plans to buy that?
    It used to have a subway in it... one of the only subways I ever saw with a drive thru.Me and my GF both ordered seafood&crab subs there and we both got really really nasty food poisoning from it. We should have gone to the emergency room.... nay, we were too busy hurling and sitting on the thone to drive... we should have called an ambulance and sued subway, then we'd have owned the place and could sell it over to UA without eminent domain
    the subway directly across the street from that car wash has a drivethru
    Is my memory that bad or did the subway move?The subway used to be in the same NE corner of exchange and spicer as teh carwash when I was there.
