Blue & Gold

You should have flushed the money you gave to Can't down the toilet. I cannot think of a single program Can't has that is as good as what UofA offers. I cannot think of a single program at Can't that comes close to our Polymer Science School. UofA has a much better engineering school. UofA has a much better business school. My brother is a doctor and he says the best nurses around are UofA graduates. UofA has the nationally known Ray C. Bliss Institute. UofA yearly produces the highest percentage of first time bar sitters that pass the exam on the first try. I will give it to Can't that they have a first rate fashion museum . Let me say again. The only thing Can't is known for is the unfortunate matter that happened in the 1970s. That's pathetic. I have no respect for the president of Can't. I have no respect for the students at Can't. I have no respect for the sports programs at Can't. I have no respect for the faculty at Can't. I have no respect for the janitors who clean the buildings at Can't. They could bulldoze the whole place as far as I'm concerned. If Portage County went back to being a swamp, nobody would miss it. A friend of mine went to law school @ UA. Upon graduation he received the highest score in the state of Ohio when he took the bar exam. He is very intelligent, highly motivated and, needless to say, now makes a very good living. I also have an acquaintance who went to Can't, studied journalism, and is now a pizza delivery person - I'd say pizza delivery "boy" but he's almost 40!!!

Very good point.

+1.

Good question. I remember Bob Huggins comment/gripe about how his graduation rate at Cincy was deceptively low because most of his players would leave after 4 years (but before completing their degree work) to play in Europe. It'd be rather ironic to have a team stocked w/ academic all-americans yet have a low graduation rate. (Not an irony Huggy Bear ever had to endure. Lol.)

By now I figured Zach would have found something else out about this guy (I wasn't able to find anything). Any 411 out there, Zach?!

Chipotle rumored for downtown! Hopefully on the south side. Also, a new hookah bar is opening up in the Kaiser Building across from Canal Park. I believe it's called the Karma Kafe. Lux is moving into 22 Exchange. And the link also mentions the new Nervous Dog Coffeehouse that is going in next to Brubaker's Pub. Our downtown is starting to rock!

My thoughts, to a tee. bobbyake, I like your style. But I must admit, I ALWAYS have butterflies before the Can't games - either basketball or football. I didn't have butterflies before the Columbus State game a few years ago. But you could probably chalk that up to low expectations.

Good find & thanks for the link, kentzip. Dajour Morris sounds like another very good get! Way to go, iCoach! Go Zips!

thanks for the heads up! Ill be heading over that way tonight to check it out Did anyone get a shot of this that you could post? Here ya go Ooooooooooooh! Thank you!

Frank Clark is a great target. We're still in the running for a handful of very impressive prospects! Go iCoach!!! Here's a nice update on Nick Rossi. Sounds like we've got another (bigger) Brian Wagner in this guy. Nick Rossi selected for 5-State All-Star Game!

thanks for the heads up! Ill be heading over that way tonight to check it out Did anyone get a shot of this that you could post?

Booooooo!!!

Once again, thanks for the preview, Quickzips! Well done!

Thanks for taking the time, Dr. Z! Thanks for taking the time, Vinnie! Glad to have you a part of the Akron family! Go Zips!

Marla's take on Hazell.

Thanks for the preview! Well done!

Priceless!!! Thank you, ITZ!

I'd give my left nut to beat any Big East basketball program, under any circumstances. Also noticed that Hunter Yurachek's new school beat LSU last night? Nice win for the Chanticliers. In all fairness it should be pointed out that the Captain has three testicles and losing his left one would make him more closely resemble a normal human being. It should also be noted that the Captain is volunteering only to relinquish his left nut, which, in most men, hangs lower than the right. So to secure a win over a Big East opponent, our fearless Captain is really only willing to give up the "low hanging fruit," so to speak.

POST IT!

Amen. You guys are officially America's soccer hooligans!!! Take your show to the JAR!!!

Thanks for the link! Great article! Unlike most of TP's UA drivel, this piece was not patronizing in the least. Excellent, serious-minded read. Here's a great quote: "Before the [championship game], [Porter] told us two things," said Nanchoff. "He asked us to promise him that we leave everything on the field -- no regrets about how we played. Then he asked us to remember that the players on the team will be our friends for life." Nanchoff said the second part really became reality after the game, when the team went to the beach. "To celebrate, we ran into the [Pacific] ocean," he said. "Some guys had their uniforms still on. The coaches, the staff, all of us went right in. The water was cold. We were laughing. It was a real moment to remember." A championship moment to be forever savored, one that no other Akron team had ever experienced before. That makes me appreciate the Ocean Celebration video footage all the more! That was a sincere, spontaneous & forever-memorable moment in those young men's lives. Priceless!!!

Thanks for the link. Though I don't know any of the players personally, according to literally everything that I hear they are all good guys. It's really an amazing side that Caleb has assembled. ("Side." Couldn't resist throwing a little futbol lingo in there. I know just enough to be dangerous!)

While I'm not impressed either, remember to not put too much weight in the "stars" from recruiting sites. How many of our past 3-star guys have gone on to be actual stars? Very true.
