Blue & Gold

I'm not saying this information is true, or accurate. However, if it is, the $20 million still wouldn't be official yet. It'd probably just be a pledge for $20 million. If the pledge were earmarked for an arena, the U would/could make it official before a press conference is held.

If this is true, then Jim Tressel has already made quite a ROI for UA.

This is what I am suspecting. After five years he'll be our next AD. The good news is that we've got Jim Tressel while he's hot. After three or five years away from Columbus State football, he'll most likely be a bit more irrelevant than he is presently. Especially if Urban Meyer is successful, your average Ohioan will move on. So we've got Jim at the best possible time.

Excellent. Thanks for sharing your observation. It's probably healthy that KD doesn't have to carry the burden of being the sole "heavy."

I love it! The players need to read it. KD can't be the only critical voice they hear. One thing I've observed on our bench is how nice our assistant coaches are. Perhaps to a fault? Is this by design? Is KD's role to be the Bad Cop and the assistants are to be the Good Cops? I just ask because it seems as though KD is the only coach willing to give the fellas the occasional kicks in the backsides that most all athletes occasionally need.

So did Alfred Koroma sign, or not?

Perhaps if the arena is labeled a multi-purpose facility, which it will be, we won't have any trouble?

Most of the inferences being tossed around are veiled references to joining the Big East. Or at least a move to Conference USA.

Huh?

I'm on my way out the door, but I see that they are going to talk about this story on SportsCenter in a few minutes.

Doubled up.

That's right. Can't's board of trustees left Stainbrooks in their boxers today.

Per the Akron Beacon Journal.

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. AK-Rowdy, as you know, is the name of the student group. In what other ways is AK-Rowdy ever used where you'd want it replaced? Anyhow, Attakron is pretty sweet wordplay!

Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon were tearing on that game on PTI!

EMU. Careful what you wish for. I'm afraid the EMU game is going to be SLOW and BORING.

How do you like them apples, Terry Pluto?!?!

Exactly, gmann! Who is the Ohio Governor, again? Precisely.

SWEEEEEEET!!! (What an extraordinarily articulate response.)

It's to the point where I hold my breath every time he tries to dribble the ball.

Welcome to ZipsNation! We're all pretty excited about Steve! Go Zips!

Tonight's attendance: 3,347.

Jim Tressel is obviously just pursuing his lifelong dream of cultivating innovative programs for student success.

Well what do you know? A 14-point win. The way Zeke dominated down low tonight is how I envisioned him dominating against the entire conference when we signed him. But the conference as a whole has gotten a lot tougher down low over the last few years. Tonight, however, Zeke was clearly a head taller than anyone futilely trying to guard him one-on-one. Toledo's Ryan Pierson (sp?) is sick.

Right. Earlier in the thread I asked if AAAA was big school or small school. AAAA is BIG school. So this is like landing Ohio's D-1 co-offensive Player of the Year & 1st-Team D-1 All-Ohio QB. Not like landing a 1st-Team D-IV player. Again, weird.
