  1. My guess is that at least half the guys on this board won't have a clue about your point. They just aren't prospective enough to notice.
  2. We should be going after JT as a position coach.
  3. Let's face it; the University has dropped the ball. The University could support Zach's suggestion that more people attend games and also improve classroom performance by requiring any student who does poorly in a class to attend a a certain number of women's soccer games. Perhaps the following schedule would work: For each class a student receives a D, the student must attend 2 women's home games, For each class a student receives an F, the student must attend 4 women's home games. Although I would not be opposed to either more severe penalties, or adding penalty categories.
  4. u 2 r new, aren't u? someone is about to tell you about the search function in 3, 2, 1 ..........................
  5. I sure hope once you get off that train your final destination is within walking distance. zipsMan isn't concerned about things like that ever since he got his rocket pack.
  6. Times change. Plus, really? The Zips haven't gained any notoriety because of the soccer team? Take any notoriety the basketball or football team has, multiply it by 18 and you still aren't getting anywhere near the notoriety of the soccer team. Every soccer fan in the country knows who Akron is, whether it be because of the national championship or because of multiple MLS players. I would bet your average NFL or NBA fan couldn't name a single player from Akron (aside from Jason Taylor and I'd be surprised if they knew he went there). Trust me, out here in Boston, MA no one is impressed with the basketball or football team. It's all soccer, all the time. You may have just come up with the next great advertising slogan to boost the economy of Boston. "Boston, all soccer, all the time."
  7. This is one of the best ideas you have ever come up with Trimmy. One thing that could work in our favor is the fact that we have many highly skilled members of the men's team who are getting little playing time. I know that PCoach would not do anything unethical like playing some of these guys on the women's squad, but what if we could get three or four of them to agree to gender reassignment so that they are legally female. A little snip here, a little snip there, and I believe our women's team is instantly (well after a little healing time) a legitimate title contender.
  8. I was thinking basically the same thing, and you know it may be the right thing to do. There is a lot of truth to the old saying, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
  9. It does give new meaning to the chant, "We're # 1."
  10. Better have the top of your head examined. To start the process, google ""dayton rule" football" don't feel bad, this "rule" is part of Zach's confusion.
  11. Quick was a tad slow.
  12. Two important results of the soccer team's success: 1. all members of the Akron gun squad have vowed to squint harder when aiming. This should result in fewer spectator injuries. 2. both Akron golf teams are encouraging the Rowdies to attend matches with vuvuzelas. This should result in higher scores for opponents and more spectator injuries.
  13. what did he get exonerated from?
  14. Yes, it has sunk in. No, I do not better understand the implications. To demonstrate what a pioneer Akron is consider that we were competing in Division 1 soccer in the 1960s, years before you claim the division was created! All other Akron U (yes I said it) sports were in Division 2 at that time. I would be interested in knowing your definition of "very few." In the 1960s, there was the University Division and the College Division. Akron soccer competed in the University Division, other sports were in the College Division. The NCAA doesn not allow split-divisional institutions any more. D-I was created in 1973, along with D-II and D-III. D-I was created mostly from the University Division, and so kept the records. For an old guy, you sure don't know much about history. You couldn't be more wrong, but I am willing to place a small wager on the matter. How much can you afford to lose?

  16. Perhaps the last time Illinois schedules an away game against a Horizon League team.
  17. routine 11 point win.
  18. they scored 7 more than us in the first half. we scored 7 more than them in the second half.
  19. If this happens and I was a Pitt tight end hoping to catch a pass, I would be looking into transfer possibilities.
  20. I hear ya. So iCoach proves he can out recruit Dave Christensen at Wyoming Hmmmm From scout.com Moore: "I have the ability to lead my team and am a coach on the field. I can move the chains when they need to move. I have a pretty strong arm and good accuracy, but I want to improve my arm strength. I really like being physical, which I know sounds strange coming from a quarterback. But when I run, I like to make it worthwhile. Even if I take the worse end of the licking, at least I showed them I'm not afraid to get hit." Forget about the Lone Ranger. Sign up a couple of these wide receivers (especially #1) who get behind the defensive backs as if he is invisible.
  21. I'm just hoping he doesn't have monster hands so that there is a possibility he will get some playing time while here.
  22. Maybe the people shooting the guns should do a better job of doing what the coach tells them to do. I will agree with you, but only because the competitive trigger squeezing folks were so impressed with your knowledge of their sport that they named the small bore competition in your honor.
  23. 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.
  24. I'm tired of hearing how this is Akron's first sports championship!. How soon they forget gun shooting and weight throwing.
  25. it's official http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5924001
