I agree. I can't stand the old "leaning A", but I think the kangaroo-head logo is pretty cool.

Oh, that's just marketing.

Teal Bunbury and Anthony Ampaipitakwong are both on the list of 15 Hermann Trophy finalists.If Teal wins it as a sophomore, it would be an incredible feat.Congrats to both of them!

Every coaching candidate negotiates assistant salary, just like they negotiate their own salary. You tell the school "this is what I expect to make, and this is what my assistants will make" pretty early in the process.

Morrison removed from the UA Board of TrusteesWho will the governor replace him with? Someone who has UA's best interests at heart or somebody who will subvert any challenge to OSU as an institution.

French's list:1. Mark Stoops - Still a possibility. YSU fans are jumping the gun, according to the coaching scoop sites.2. Pat Narducci - Very unlikely. If it is a possibility, MSU fans don't have a clue about it.3. Paul Winters - Lots of rumors swirling right now.4. Paul Chryst - possibility of coming to Akron summarily dismissed by Badgers fans, but it came off as them just being self-important BCS jackoffs.5. Luke Fickell - Still a possibility. Some questions from OSU fans as to whether he can actually coach. One guy even said he hopes Fickell comes here and ruins our program just so the "successor to Tressel" stuff will stop.6. Terry Allen - I don't see any substance to this.

There was a rumor that Winters already resigned to come here? Anybody know where they're getting this from?We don't even have a short list yet.

This of this game as a test-run for handling the larger soccer crowds that the new stadium will allow.

I now that Wistrcill worked with Chryst in the past, and he's probably a good candidate, but Akron was one of the leaders that got his brother fired from the MAC office (I now believe this was a terrible mistake even though I was all for it at the time, given who they replaced him with). Would he really want to come here? Would we really want him here?

It's not going to happen under any circumstances.

Why is nobody asking the big question? Where will all the traffic go? It's already tough enough in that area but imagine all of the extra cars leaving peak class times/big events. Can you imagine?I think that the traffic patterns need to be changed to bring life back to Downtown.

Give me column A, please.

Bizzarro's future uncertain

You mean like the brand-new home uniforms that we got at the beginning of this past season?

BigSoccer.com takes a huge dump all over Caleb Porter.Don't let it get under your skin, though.

Thanks for the correction.

They can't move the fence that quickly. My guess is we'll see an elevated seating platform behind the fence and above the sidewalk.At the last game, there were 300 free tickets to give away to the first AK-Rowdies to claim them. I don't think they were able to give them all away. It could have been because of Thanksgiving break, and I hope we'll see a bigger student turnout for this game.

I thought they went out the window with the former coaching staff.Weren't they both here before Brookhart was hired?

If you read some of the posts here at ZN you would know that he spent time with Tom at Minnesota.Lots of people spent time with Tom in Minnesota. That doesn't mean they'll be a good coach.

Here's the Beacon's Short ListWhy is anyone even considering Marshall's coach that got fired a few days ago?

Footballcoachingscoop.com says that YSU is offering Stoops "between $250,000 and $280,000 per year, at least double the value of former coach Jon Heacock’s deal"We're offering $100k more than that.

I agree with this completely. No BCS guys, unless they have already proven to have success with limited resources.

Too bad that they have to close.The location is interesting. It's right next to the giant square of unused land. I hope it turns into something positive. A University of Akron School of Medicine Campus would be nice.

http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/78174702.html#signanchorSome good things in the article. He addresses some of the concerns expressed on Zipsnation, such as our recruits possibly leaving.The next coach will make somewhere around $380k, which is in the upper 3rd of the MAC.

Hunter gets the job.Congratulations Mr. Yurachek.
