  1. Seems like a couple of "yards" might be missing in your second week team rating of Akron. For which level of government is your day job?Just down the hallway from you. Stop by and say hello. Ah, a state employee.

  3. nothing i read gave akron an ounce of creditLike the game photo gallery in the last link. Looks more like Akron highlights than Cuse.In general, Cuse fans/writers have a pretty high opinion of their schools football history. OK they did have a kid named Jim Brown play for them, but I don't recall them being the powerhouse they seem to recall.
  4. You obviously haven't been paying attention. We'll keep him in check. He just needs a second chance. Just because he got in trouble once doesn't mean he will do it again. Besides, he's only beating up women!! Did I mention he's a great player?!?! WELCOME ABOARD!!! Great move by Memphis. Finally someone to keep their cheerleaders in line.
  5. Oh my God .... at his bequest!! When did he die?
  6. "Now everybody knows I'm the man," Jacquemain said. "They're looking to me. We've got one scheme set and we're going with it. Everybody is on the same page."I sure hope the "one scheme" doesn't involve a lot of flair passes.
  7. Tell me the tourneys that collapsed and Ill give you some insight.Was referring to the original post from GoZips that said Ohio State was attempting to put together an exempt tourney but it collapsed.I believe it is impossible for something that has never existed to collapse.
  8. Yes this is possible if Akron changes its name to Murray State, Wright State or Oral Roberts.

  10. Not as informative as GoZips post, but another really good idea. Do you suggest that the tourney that remains switch their scheduled dates to those scheduled for the collapsed tourney so that teams from the collapsed tourney are sure to be able to fill in, or should the remaining tourney keep its original dates and maybe one or more of the teams from the collapsed tourney can play a split squad in the surviving tourney and an already scheduled regular game that conflicts with the remaining tourney?
  11. Very informative. Which of the teams that were announced as playing in the San Juan Shootout a couple of months ago has dropped out to make room for Akron, Oral Roberts, South Florida, Murray State, or Wright State?
  12. I believe you have successfully grasped the concept. On a related matter. In the early 1970s the men's swimming coach predicted before the season started that the Akron squad may be the first swim team that needed a life guard. They ended the season 9-2. Hope the same thing works for the footballers.
  13. Maybe if the baseball stadium were configured correctly, it could also be used as the new soccer field.
  14. At least the ABJ, unlike some politicians, isn't promising any change. You go ahead and sing Kunbaya and drink the Kool Aid.
  15. UC's Mauk sues NCAA in bid to keep playing footballWire ReportFriday, August 15, 2008CINCINNATI — Quarterback Ben Mauk has launched a legal Hail Mary in an effort to keep his college football career alive.Mauk filed a lawsuit Wednesday, Aug. 13, against the NCAA, less than a week after his final appeal for another year of eligibility at Cincinnati was denied.The same day the lawsuit was filed, Hardin County Judge William Hart in Mauk's home area of Kenton granted a temporary restraining order that says the NCAA cannot prevent him from practicing with UC.The judge set an Aug. 22 hearing on Mauk's request for a permanent injunction against the NCAA.
  16. OK, this may be going out on a limb a little bit, but I have a very strong feeling this could happen. My pick for the team we upset at the last second this year is the University of Miami. Here's how I see that occurring. Wake Forest is scheduled to play the Hurricanes in Coral Gables on October 25. I believe the entire Wake Forest team will go on strike to protest Hillary Clinton stealing the Democrat nomination from Obama through back room dealings at the convention. THe ACC office will scramble to find a replacement from the teams that have a bye for that Saturday and select the Zips to fill in. The game will be played just as the effects of Hurricane Marco are being felt in the Miami area. The Zips win with 22 seconds remaining in the game as an Akron pass gets a boost from the wind and flies 84 yards in the air for a completion and touchdown. Given their Herculean effort the Zips are offered and accept entry into the Big East Conference. And they all live happily ever after.
  17. Maybe we can get him for his senior year after he transfers.
  18. To make it easier for us to respond, you should have set this post up as a poll. It would be interesting if "other" was available as a third option. I think it might win.
  19. Public transport from Cleveland really shouldn't be a problem because you will already have slit your wrist on the AmTrak trip. Seriously, have you checked out how long that trip takes?
  20. Out of curiosity, I checked one of the gopher sites & found this thread:"The official "Where the **** is Vince Hill?" Thread" I wonder if maybe Da'Von Moore might be able to put a big hit on this kid this season. Is he still around?Da' Von Moore still around. He hurt himself in the first practice he took place in during last season. Either tore his ACL or something with his ankle. Needless to say it wasnt very good. He will be at camp once it opens this week. Also coming to camp a BIG NAME running back! Could be the the best recruit in the MAC by far next to Deryn Bowser.Unless you're going to name names and give some details, please don't bother even mentioning stuff like this. It's beyond frustrating for those of us not "in the know". As for concerns about starting a rumor as a result, simply qualify your statements as heresay.Please continue to post stuff like this as I think it is great and certainly not beyond frustrating; in fact I think it is a goodly distance short of frustrating.

Thread" I wonder if maybe Da'Von Moore might be able to put a big hit on this kid this season. Is he still around?Interesting thread. I got down to the post from Scottapt4 and then for some reason could not concentrate on the writing.
  22. OK, I double checked my source and I may have misunderstood his or her statement. Turns out it is a 2 for 1 deal, and the schools colors are not currently orange and green, but will be by the time the first of the three games is played. This will be thee BIGGEST home Bball game ever played by the Zips.
  23. I have access to information which allows me to fill in some of the gaps in the original post. My source's initials are R.H. but he does not go by R. The colors of the school in question are green and orange and it is a home and home series. Thats all I can say for now BUT there is MUCH more.
  24. To build up the confidence of our even shorter Dbacks in practice.
