Very disappointed in the lack of stats you provided. I also checked out their web site and came up with three notable stats: 11, 3 and 1&1. 11 - They only have an eleven man roster. We should be able to run them out of gas. 3 - These guys are Road Warriors; only 3 of their first 12 games have been played at home. 1&1 - Looking at the players photos it becomes apparent that they must be a close-knit group because they only had one white shirt and one tie that they all shared on photo day.

Well that's a problem with spell checkers. Her is a word, just not the best one to use in this case.

There is no mention of your innovative suggestion. I really think they missed the boat there. They did, however, make clear their intention to renovate any new athletic facilities. According to the release, the Z Fund raises money, in part, "for the renovation of existing facilities and all new athletics facilities." Although this is a rather bland document, I give the athletic department credit for breaking with tradition and running the piece through a spelling and grammar check before making it available to the public.

Yes I could; Akron can't.

It's a fluff piece that I'm certain gave the athletic department a great sense of accomplishment while they threw it together.

Nope. Two reasons. Verbal to the Tide seems pretty solid. Linage suggests he may be susceptible to knee injuries.

Answer to question 4..... Yes, last year.

Did they give any specifics on how our minor sports teams will be able to compete at the highest level while being funded at the lowest level. Now that would be news.

Maybe they were thinking Mountain time. That means we should hear something in the next 52 minutes.

Roller derby would be an EXCELLENT addition. Roller derby has a strong tradition in Akron. I remember Prof. Castle telling our marketing class that he checked into a hotel in Mexico city, turned on the TV and Earnest Angley was on. Then he changed the channel and Roller Derby from the Akron Armory was on it. He said he was pretty sure folks down there must have thought that Akron was the cultural capitol of the world.

He has an interest in Navy and I think that would be a perfect fit for him.

If we haven't already, we should offer Kyle Allen, Quin Blanding, Leonard Fournette, Marlon Humphrey, Adoree' Jackson, Sony Michel, Joe Mixon, Jabrill Peppers and Cameron Robinson.

Looking at the results of the big swimming gala being held this weekend I think we are going to petition the NCAA to allow our swim team to drop to DII so that a few of of our lady tanksters can provisionally qualify for nationals.

Do you have stats on this for the last five years so we can determine if there is a trend?

Really? When you hear "strategic" you think finance and marketing and not this?

During my time in Akron I preferred North Howard St. to South Howard St.

I also think (in addition to adding the new sport I mentioned earlier) that we will be changing our nickname from the Zips to the Headless Goats.

I think they may be adding a sport.

I knew I was going to enjoy the post-season all-MAC teams better than the preseason all Mac teams.

Are you talking abount Hitler or icoach?

You aren't related to anlance by any chance are you?

That's an interesting idea; move each sport down (or up) to a division in which they can compete. Is there a division 4 iin women's swimming?

When will the band bashing cease???

Strike two. Not a good sign when you get beat out by a guy who has already demonstrated he can't cut it in the NBA. Again, it appears Zeke went to Taiwan mainly because somebody else wants him to be a professional basketball player.

None of the groups you mention are Veterans; so why 11/11? Why not 10/10 or 9/9? How about some kind of ticket deal for Vets around 11/11?
