I wish I got a cool title for being a gofer. lol, title or not, your job would still be the same.Would you want to be a sanitation engineer just to get the title?

left in the bathroom?Now it's gotta be copycats.

Yeah, I wonder whose "contractual obligations" they are breaking when they kill 17 minutes of airtime showing radar and drawing circles around 15mph swirls trying to induce panic "OMG, teh tornados are coming! Run for your lives!"

*hands decaf to I.T.Z.*Let little johnny post his crap. He's not fooling anyone here, and it makes him feel better.

HAHA!be carefull, if your computer goes to the Can't website and climbs down out of stonage too many times, it will start to experience delusional paranoia and it will write articles about how zips players are out to get it.

I don't think there was anything 'offensive' about that.But it is a typical poor-mans argument that avoids responding to the complaint by both rationalizing ("hey, atleast we were there") and by diverting. Did you notice he didn't address at all why they cut away?

not that I wouldn't want to support one of our players when he says he was just trying to make a play, but I thought the rule was "one knee down". So, did jarvis have both knees off the ground?Like I said, I wouldn't want to take the side of a whiney opponent over one of our guys, but if his intentions really were malicious, that is something I cannot support, and I think that's something coach should try to nip in the bud

It's somewhat rare when running backs don't get dinged up during a season. Having depth at the position is an asset.Aside from that, our young receivers just need more reps and game time. I'm not trying to imply that this year is a "rebuilding year", but these guys need trial by fire. Don't give up on them so fast.

Lindsey Wittenthinks he can hide the fact that he is Steve Urkel because he isn't wearing the glassesLarry Tayloris really Whoopi Goldberg on 'roidsTyler Lorenzenis "Cruiser" from StripesI haven't found a pic yet. :mad:

haha, they are pretty good at that. We did those last year. Why did we stop?

There's your answer right there.They switched over to 3 minutes of commercials.Guess what, those were sponsors who very likely paid a higher rate specifically for the OSU game airtime. Not to cut away would probably have cost the station.... who knows... tens of thousands?When you run a station, it is not about viewers. It's about advertisers.You need the audience to attract the advertisers, obviously, but the advertisers are the endgame. The audience is just the lure to get them.

We had a guy running off the field late and I thought he was gonna make it but they called TO to be safe I guess. A penalty could have hurt

leading by 505 at 8:27am 36120 | 36625 we almost lost this one. whewas said before, I think our biggest crutch in the head-to-head matchups could be the fact that zippy is leading the overall standings, which means that when people who are voting outside of their own mascot's head-to-head will be more likely to vote against zippy.It might have been more advantageous to eek out a victory in the first round without such a high overall score, because now zippy is king of the mountain and everyone will be gunning for her. It could be tough to maintain. Such are the woes of winners

cheers, everyone! We need to start feeling like winners.

Maybe there needs to be more garbage pales and receptacles? I personally witnessed people put their cups down by fence lines on several occasions. One girl who I saw do it actually looked half embrassed when she did it, and I suppose she should have held onto it until she got somewhere to throw it out, but maybe it would be better to put out more receptacles.

Those heineken kegs are supposed to be good for several weeks after you tap it. I wouldn't know though, I have never had any left over.

That's the only thing that makes sense. You gotta think like politicians. They want to build cleveland up as a medical mecca, and NEOUCOM is a piece of their puzzle. It's like when politicians PROMISED when they passed the seatbelt law that no one would ever be pulled over and ticketed soley for seatbelt violations. They knew back then that it would change some day. They had to lie to squelch a public groundswell against it.They are making grand visions about this whole thing, but in reality, it's all about snatching resources for Cleveland. In fact, I bet it's not even about moving NEOUCOM as much as it is as eliminating it, in a way. Because, why can't CSU and Case Western Team up with the Cleveland Clinic to start their own medical programs. You know they'd be all over it except that there is already an established one in the region. So, instead of opening one in cleveland and finding political ways to put the hatched on NEOUCOM, they instead make it seem like it's "moving" and "merging". That's a facade. It's about eliminating the competition to something in Cleveland by "moving" the existing one.

wow, all that? and again, I ask, why akron and csu? Why does Can't get left out?why not BGSU and toledo? Dayton and cincy?It's just odd.What do you call this place? Why do I have a feeling it's going to be CSU and CSU akron campus? Share athletic programs you say? So, what? Football in Akron and Basketball in Cleveland? Or, split venues in every sport?It just doesn't make any sense!

Since it's for a class, isn't it considered "fair use"?

Well see! That's efficiency right there for ya! Three univerisities pooling their resources. CSU should join in the effort with UA, Can't, and YSU and the problem is solved.But nooooo.... They are "better" than Akron, Can't and Youngstown because they are cleveland and they have media. So, why not just steal NEOUCOM? *cough* Cleveland stealing it would make thinks LESS efficient administratively, but that's okay, because politicians regularly promote their plans with the exact opposite argument than what the result will be. In the private sector, it's called "lying"

shot glasses eh?hmm... limited market, unless you count the novelty aspect.I guess there was a nice product niche though eh? Can't get shot glasses at the bookstore. LOL

I think someone in cleveland has convinced these state politicians that the cleveland medical corridor (er whatever it is) with Case Western and the Cleveland Clinic needs NEOUCOM. I always thought NEOUCOM was independant of any particular university, so I don't see why the University of Akron needs to get raped by this whole thing. Something just doesn't seem straight at all about this whole thing! Why here?Why aren't they merging Toledo and BGSU? Aren't they even closer to each other? Why not (god forbid) Akron and Can't???None of this makes sense. I smell serious stink.

Don't get me wrong... I guess this capital one bowl thing is sorta fun, but if you statement about this being our best chance for national exposure kinda made me cringe.

I sometimes took a very liberal approach to free speech on the sites I ran in the past, but then, I wasn't really concerned very much about whether people felt alienated and left. As long as it wasn't hatespeech or slander, I allowed the community to police itself. If your goal is a "kinder gentler" atmosphere, slightly more active intervention may be required

The problem with moderating some topics is that it doesn't come down to a definitive judgment call.... or in other words, there is no right & wrong or any way to guide things to a resolution with finality. Take the debate as to how acceptable and how much Akron students and alumni should root for Ohio State. There is no right answer. The best you can do is try to keep it civil and keep it from getting personal.
