    This sounds like a gimmick/flavor-of-the-month type of move made in desperation to stand out in the crowd; in the ilk of the previous university president.  I don't see this having any practical, or tangible change.  Hope I'm wrong.  I guess my question is: are there any other serious main-stream institutions that do this already?  If the answer is no...we shouldn't be either...if we're to be considered a "main-stream institution".

    "While this is a novel step for our region, a number of departments at major universities in the Washington, D.C., area do not schedule Friday classes so that students can intern with government agencies that day. In addition, the use of two-day classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays has existed here for decades and is a standard practice across the country. "

     

    You complain when students aren't consulted, now they're consulted and it's desperate

     

    "I was truly pleased by a comprehensive survey that we conducted of all UA undergraduate students last semester. With the assistance of Undergraduate Student Government, we surveyed about 15,000 undergraduate students and received nearly 5,000 responses. Very positive conversations have also been held with dozens of area high school counselors, numerous high school principals, and employers. "

  17. Game 19—Ohio University

    This is a fun team to watch and root for. The MAC stinks this year, moreso than usual. It's UB, then everyone else. We're a buzzer beater at Toledo from a much different tune around here. And hey, maybe it's better to go through some adversity early as opposed to worrying about peaking early like we have before. Either way, there's a long way to go, and as we know too well anything can happen on a Saturday night in Cleveland.

    I would think every poster on here is acutely aware of the Zips record and their placement in the standings.  Unlike Buffalo (who has some games to give like we did last year), the Zips' backs are against the wall in each game until the bottom 2/3 of the conference settles out.  I'm sure the team's goals are higher, but my wish for them is that they can get us a home game in the first round.

     

    Tonight's season ticket has a pic of Coach Groce on it.  Doubt that was a coincidence.

    We're one game back from a bye. That should be the goal. Go Zips!
