Blue & Gold

Thought this was funny. I'll just drop it here. Welcome to Ohio, Big Mike.

UA Accounting Major Wins National Title of Best Grocery Bagger The UA accounting major beat out a plethora of K.ent State graduates.

UA to sell President's mansion.  The house, in which President Matthew Wilson chose not to reside, still contains the infamous olive jar.

I've been wondering this for a while, but never started a thread. This seems like an appropriate spot for me to ask: Why does men's college basketball operate on 2 Halves as opposed to 4 quarters? High school, women's college & NBA basketball, of course, all operate on 4 quarters. What's the rationale behind going to 2 halves?

Earl Boykins & Derek Dials. They were tough.

It would require one comedic "bleep," but I wish we'd use this 3-second clip once in a while: Ghostbusters

As UA career winds down, Kwan Cheatham continues to improve, which bodes well for March and beyond A human interest, non-pregame and/or postgame Zips story from the Akron Beacon Journal!!! “There’s guys that deserve to be successful. This guy deserves to be successful,” Dambrot said. “It just took a while for it to all come.”

I'm calling it now... the first truly disappointing season of the KD era. We'll finish in the middle of the MAC, behind OU, Buffalo & K.e.nt & not win KD's coveted 21 games.

Idk if it's physiological or psychological, but I wish we still had the freshman Noah.

I've gotta disagree with this. Toe injuries can be almost completely debilitating. Didn't chronic turf toe help end Deion Sander's career?

@ Buffalo & @ K.ent are going to be tough places to get a W. But we'd have to hit thermonuclear meltdown mode to not win the regular season title. Btw, regular season title?

Am I reading that right? Joe Akron actually pulling for a new downtown arena for his beloved Zippers?!

According to twitter, and a tweet I neither retweeted nor can find again, Pete was offered by Florida.

Zips rally behind Kwan Cheatham to drop Rockets It’s safe to say that the slump that hit Cheatham for a three-game stretch is over. He lifted the Zips high enough on his shoulders to give them an opportunity to win. At one point, the Rockets (13-13, 6-7 in MAC) were beating the Zips in every significant offensive category to take an 11-point lead midway through the second half. Then Cheatham went to work...

Josh is playing well!

Touche'.

Akron Beacon: Zips, coach Keith Dambrot continue to reach milestones

City passes $966 million in 2017 spending plans Akron City Council wrapped up a month of budget deliberations Monday by passing a $375 million operating budget and nearly $590 million in capital projects for 2017. The city is spending $590 million in capital projects this year alone and can't afford to build a downtown arena?

This is what frustrates me. The staff just needs to get on the phone w/ every middling P5 school in the country & say we'll come play you at your house, no strings attached.
