  1. From the album: August 8th, 2009

    A nice view of the press box from Union and Buchtel. The trees that border the walkway make for a nice framing effect and keep your focus on the pressbox.

    There's always something wrong with that pipeline.
  3. From the album: August 8th, 2009

    The really ugly building is Memorial Hall.
  4. From the album: August 8th, 2009

    Grabbed this one from the nearer balcony in the SU, 2nd floor.
  5. From the album: August 8th, 2009

    Grabbed this from the far balcony.
  6. From the album: August 8th, 2009

    Used to be a parking deck.
  7. We're definitely NOT playing Michigan State next year. Their schedule is Notre Dame, WMU, FAU, and Northern Colorado.
  8. That was a nice test run. Keep an eye out for the next time, and we'll see if we can't get started a bit earlier.
  9. It's hard to say. Some schools are trying to just stay afloat, and to invest a bit in their programs.Also, some schools are extremely committed to all their schools besides football, but not really to football itself (Can't and EMU fit this profile).I believe that it's football or bust in this climate. If your school doesn't have its main focus on football, you should drop to 1-AA where you can keep focus on your other sports.
  10. Reading through this again, it has become clear to me that we HAVE to do something to get a new field for the soccer team. Bake sales, donations, whatever we can. The only thing holding back the construction is a lack of funds. The minute the funds are secured, construction will begin (there's plenty that can be done with out affecting the team during the season, like preparing the area around the field, removing the tennis courts, etc.).
  11. Brandon Anderson just signed with the Browns to replace an injured rookie DB draft pick.
  12. Tuition increase this spring.People already saying it's to fund the stadium.
  13. We'll hear more soon. Today was move-in day for football players.
  14. It's completely off the College Football page on ESPN.
  15. http://www.ohio.com/sports/52521307.htmlAn article on the expectations this stadium has created. Win, baby, win.
  16. Here's an idea: rent out Canal Park as the home stadium for the baseball team, and build an arena where the baseball field is. It's a bigger area than the JAR's footprint and it's on Exchange. Two huge facility upgrades for two sports. It would help baseball's recruiting and if the marketing was there it would boost attendance (we can't even take attendance at the current baseball field thanks to not having any seats or even a gate) and give it a big-time feel like at southern schools.
  17. That's pretty amazing, considering that he has been advertised as one of the best recruits to ever come to Akron.
  18. Wayne College gets a major additionAlways cool to see the satellite campuses do well.
  19. It looks like some of you don't remember RUMPLEMINTZ.
  20. It looks like it's over. You can still vote, but there's not much of a point now. Good run, guys. Kind of wish we were able to set it started when the poll first came up.
  21. What ever you want to do, go ahead and do it. The TV show discussing this happened already, at 1:00PM earlier today. It's still up at the top of the college football page on ESPN, though, so plenty of people will see it.
  22. http://www.wkyc.com/news/regional/akron_ar...116&catid=6 Strickland made the appointment. I don't know what kind of guy Woolford is, but either he's going to go along with Proenza or he's there to keep him in check.
  23. I Heard a 60-second radio spot today advertising the 3-game ticket packs. Has a voice over of French calling touchdowns. Much higher quality than the "be a part" things we saw before. Also mentioned "sneak peeks" of the stadium on August 23rd and 29th.
