I forgot living on campus makes you immune from walking around in -20 degree temps all day. I should have paid more attention to my physics class. LOL, everyone made it to work today. I also forgot my physiology class where they taught that your diploma gave you "heartiness"

why cancel classes when some of the students live on campus, and some of the students who commute have no problem with colder temperatures?If you have a crappy vehicle or you can't afford to dress in layers, then don't go in. Something tells me they wont fail you for now showing up today.If the University is willing to pay the bills to keep the heat on for you today, I am guessing that they think it's a good idea not to set everyone's semester back because of chilly temps.

The ads they make with Proenza promoting the university usually have a fairly good production quality. The ones you see made for our athletics usually look pretty cheap.

I AM using firefox and it redirected me.However, I don't believe gozips.com is expired, just the domian you are forwarded to: smartlinksmarketing.comMaybe they were hacked and someone put the redirect in there?

No, winning the MAC tourney is not out of the question, but if we didn't win it, but won out the season with a conf.record of 15-1 and overll record of 26-4, one would like to think you could get a freakin' bid to the big dace.

Yeah, it's pretty ghey. I mean, even if you want to have a "family friendly image" and not use some intimidating voice, that doesn't mean you should sound like disney x PBS x basement cable access

Temple would probably score a few points due to geography, but they get hurt bad for lack of program success.

Ohio currently over Toledo 82 to 68.

I heard charlie on the radio yesterday say that the new offensive coordinator likes to run an attack style offense and likes to keep the defense on their toes and spread out and this is what I have been calling for FOR YEARS. I hope it's for real.BTW, Frye's barb against Smith is hilarious.

damn, I should have made this a poll also.Oh well, the discusison of it is more interesting anyway.

On one hand, I'd really like to see Toledo get a hash in that loss column. They're stealing some of our lime-light with their undefeated conference record.But on the other hand, Ohio going to 4-4 helps pull them off our heals a bit so that it would really only be Can't right behind us in the east.The game is Wednesday. I can't decide.

DOH! *fixed*

NOW the new AP poll is out, and akron has 5 votes.26. Indiana 14127. Kentucky 10628. Georgetown 10529. Southern Illinois 10130. Virginia Commonwealth 9231. USC 6732. UNLV 4733. Michigan State 4034. Texas Tech 3735. Tennessee 2136. George Washington 2036. West Virginia 2038. LSU 1639. Maryland 1440. New Mexico State 1241. Georgia 1141. Virginia 1143. Villanova 843. Creighton 845. Louisville 746. Arkansas 647. Akron 548. Northern Iowa 2

Seriously, true. If you think some schlub in BFE who was flipping through ballgames on saturday afternoon and caught a little bit of the UA/WM game is going to remember Akron from a hole in the wall, you are mistaken.... until they mention LeBron. You and I know that we have some history. You and I know that we have an identity.Joe Sixpack doesn't, and is hardly likely to pause and take much notice, let alone remember much at all about the Zips.Unfortunately, that's how it is.... and if "the Lebron connection" sets us apart a little bit to the idiot who doesn't give two shiits about mid-majors, I think it's a bit of a blessing until that miraculous day we do something that registers more than a blip on the national radar, such as winning several games in the big tourney.

Like Woah!Unexpected, but I will definately take it.

wait, does that mean he is the 29th best QB in the nation (and he happens to be a dual threat)?or does it mean he is 29th best of QBs who are considered a dual threat?I am assuming you mean the first statement, but since I don't subscribe to rivals, I can't go and look up a clarification.

I don't know if we would get enough respect, but the record would look impressive at that point and could be enough IF enough top25ers fall out from stringing up some losses.But I say, let's wins some games and worry about getting the top25 later.

I don't think there is a full list. Atleast, I have never seen it either

At some point last year, while we were still leading the MAC east before that last week, we were up over 10 votes.A nice winning streak and I suspect we could do much better.

Toledo is 5-0 in the MAC, but none of those are from the east, which is obviously the tougher side of the MAC.Their next 6 games will be against MAC east teams.

lol, if you don't want to associate with the rowdies, then don't.I will revert back to my last quotation of the truism that to be vocally against something is to lend credence and homage to it, whether that is your intended goal or not.If you say, you are pro-zips and anti-rowdies, well, I just gotta ask, why does it seem that being anti-rowdies is more of an emphasis for you than being pro-zips? You're priorities are screwed up, unless, of course, you just like being the center of attention, no matter how low you gotta go to get it. ;)Singling out and doing psych-jobs on opponent players is not alter-boy behavior, but we aren't Div-IVc Church-on-a-hill Academy from podunk Connecticut. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, wouldn't this whole thing turn out as a blessing if the anti group could somehow transform itself into a pure student support group, and even form a friendly rivalry with the rowdies that included trying to out-do each other in showing support?

nice family tree.... but not a rest on laurels type. wow! Got a good head AND heart.

I didn't even read most of this thread (just a half assed skim) because, honestly, unlike most people, drama doesn't thrill me. But I don't need to read the thread, because I am not going to speak about any group specifically.What it comes down to is one simple truth.... it has always been true, and will always be true. "Anti" groups are lame.Now, I am speaking in general, and not specifically about anyone or any group, because this seems to be a universal truth.All they ever do it lend credence and homage to the group they intend to protest, and always end up fading away in time because they have no true identity unto themselves except to be in protest or antagonistic to a group that actually does have a purpose and identity.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't we get Iveljic from Mentor?
