I'm not going to say anything negative except that we have been playing "not to lose" nearly all season.So help me god, if the N.E.Ohio media goes ga-ga over Can't this season, I will go postal.

I am happy that Can't isn't having a bad season this year. It inspires more interest in the game in which they will swiftly realize that compared to Akron

lol, I was searching for a pic of Kathy Ireland from Necessary Roughness but couldn't find one.

I think the answer is simple.Mid-Major teams that scratch at momentary greatness only capture the interest of sports writers and the top teir sports fans (you know, the ones who actually follow all sports teams, not just the hometown or the front runners), but are still obscure to the overall consciousness in the rest of sports, and the greater culture.A team has to have a true "cinderella story". A number#1 BCS rank and a national championchip game, not just being happy with #18 for a few weeks and falling off.Winning March madness, not just a final4 appearence and loss, which wins the hearts of local media, and might get you a few stories on ESPN.How about this:Beating Penn State, NC state, and going undefeated in the MAC?These are things that get you noticed everywhere, and your reputation sticks.

Yeah, why no ABJ? I mean, they can cover a football team halfway down the state over the local one, maybe it's a matter of distance. I think the ABJ should be able to cover recruits from out of the area?

Blow out Kant in the first half = problem solved.

Joe CrivellaCartman?

Guy Hurtis Forest Whitaker?

Barry Drakeford - & - Napoleon Dynamite ?

Anthony MagazuisAlice the Goon?

Tom Sitkoas Private Pyle

Jon Brownis Dom DeLuise?

Colin Ferrell = Colin Farrell?*cough*okay, guess not

WAIT! Hold the presses!I think we have two Frodos on that team! David Filippi

I understand your point, and let me try to distil it down to motive.If the local newspaper continues to cover non-local teams greater than the local team, even though said local team won their conference last year as has a lot to report on this year, then why would you expect there ever to be any interest in the team?13,000 at the rubber bowl? I wonder why? :duh:It's obvious! The local paper has dropped the ball!It's not like we are asking them to cover a 2-10 team here.Now, I can also see from the other perspective.Let's use an analogy out side of sports. If Bush holds a press conference and says we caught Bin Laden, and Plusquelic holds one and says we caught a bank robber, which do you think get's the headline?Aside from the OSU/Penn game having some degree of significance to the rest of the nation, the fact remains, the local paper has a CIVIC FREAKING DUTY to report on local news. If the ABJ wont do it, who will?We have no freaking TV news around here. Someone needs to be the 'BEACON' of hope and light for local news.

That's right, and if they don't hurry, they will probably lose out. I am sure that the university is making them a more generous offer now, for legal reasons (to prove due diligence), then the 20% above fair market appraisal that they would get from the eminent domain proceedures.

That's Theee Columbus State Suckeyes. Get it straignt.

Indeed. Before the season, if you asked the coaches what they should prepare for against the Zips, they would have said the passing game. After Kennedy's performances this year, they now have to focus on that (more than the would have), and it's prime for some aerial assault.This is what they mean by "stretch the field". When your opponent's linebackers are scared of being burned no matter where they play, they lack the conviction to play their best game.

I would seriously go if I wasn't helping someone work on a room addition! :mad:
