Isn't Korb still with the Zips? I'm pretty sure he's a senior this coming year. You're right. For some reason I thought he graduated already.

So what is the Crew/MLS giving to the PDL to have their logo on the Michigan team's website? I can't find anything describing the relationship. I'd call it a farm team like the minor leagues in baseball.

Also of note, former Zips Chris Korb and Stefan Ostergren and current Zips players Darlington Nagbe, Matt Dagilis, and Anthony Ponikvar will be playing for the Cleveland Internationals in the game tonight.

So is campus going to be flooded by a bunch of middle-aged housewives who think they're still 16?

NFL Lockout "inevitable". A good marketing person would recognize this as an opportunity to promote attending Akron Zips football games as an alternative for the football-starved masses who can't go see the Browns or Steelers play. We're about to be handed a monopoly on hosting big-time football games in NE Ohio.

Aaand the whole thing comes full circle. Amazing. Screwed out of another MAC championship by conference officials.

If you were wondering where Zips go to play soccer in the offseason, here is the answer: The Michigan Bucks of the USL's Premier Development League. All three U-20 players, along with Ben Speas and Scott Caldwell are playing for the Bucks. They are essentially playing for the Columbus Crew's minor league team. http://www.buckssoccer.com/ They're really praising Akron in the article on the front page of their website. You can watch them play today at 7:00 at Pinnacle Sports in Medina. It's the only time they're in town this season.

DE Robert Kugler commits to Purdue.

From what I have seen, all the doors are locked and the only way in or out is through the skywalk that connects to the JAR. That tells me that they're preparing for the asbestos removal stage. It could take weeks before it's safe to tear down without giving everyone at UA lung cancer.

Your link says 'page not found' Here is another. Sorry. Looks like the Can't filter ate my link. Should have seen that coming.

I love getting athletes in football/basketball/soccer who also ran track.

Andre Jones signs with the KC Chiefs. Maybe he'll hang out with Teal Bunbury.

New offer: OT Ray Ball

This article has pictures. Judging by the captions, the author is a Miami grad. I'm also not sure why the bridge ends on top of the awning of the hotel entrance. How do you get down? Unless the Can't design has windows, it turns into a pitch-black tube. Not exactly pedestrian-friendly. I don't know what to say about Ball State's design except that it doesn't really blend in well with current campus architecture (or any other architectural style I've ever seen, for that matter). I think they should be disqualified for referring to us as "Akron University". I want to see UA's designs, but they didn't bother to include them.

This bridge will be unique. The only thing like it in the world. It's also a chance for UA to get further into the materials engineering world beyond polymers, and a good object for the corrosion engineering program to study over time.

Architecture program. I'll take a practical, solid bridge designed by an Akron engineer over something drawn up to look pretty by an architect from Can't any day.

How many re-hashed Big Ten jokes does it take to make a Zips fan sound clever?

I think I would be more worried if we had four kids who were starting or seeing significant playing time asking to leave. Fact of the matter is that the only guy who was getting significant minutes who is jumping ship is Humpty. Steward wasn't getting regular minutes and that probably wasn't going to change. Sullivan and Swiech weren't getting any minutes at all, and that probably wasn't going to change. Kids leave all the time looking for more playing time. It is the reality of college basketball where you have thirteen kids on scholarship and only so many minutes to go around. Now if the four guys who were transfering out were Zeke, Cvetinovic, Humpty and McClanahan I would be very concerned. That would speak more to a program wide problem than just a group of kids who made the decision to seek playing time elsewhere as opposed to riding pine here. I agree. Three of the players transferred because they weren't getting any playing time. That's completely understandable and not weird at all. They didn't leave because they hated the coach or the teammates. Talk to them and you won't hear them say anything negative about the basketball program. This happens when you have a talented, deep team. How many players transfer out of major programs for the same reasons, with no ill will towards the school they're leaving?

Are you sure? Gilliam will be on scholarship next year while he sits, unless the UMBC coach refuses to release him.

Gilliam may have some academic issues.
