Here are a few shows I have been to over the past 10 years or so there. I am sure I am missing many others as well. Shrek, Hair, Dreamgirls, West Side Story, The Addams Family, My Fair Lady, Rock of Ages, The Color Purple, Fiddler on the Roof, Camelot, Guys and Dolls, The Illusionists, Price is Right Live, Mama Mia, Blue Man Group, Miss Saigon, Aidi, Rent, Memphis the Musical, Rain, Bring it On the Musical, Hello Dolly, Cirque Dreams Holidaze, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, Stomp, A Chorus Line, Spamalot, Beauty and the Beast, Ain't Misbehavin, Oliver, Annie, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, The Wedding Singer, The Rat Pack is Back, An evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, Avenue Q, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Gypsy, Riverdance, Movin Out, Cats, Hairspray, The Producers

I don't know if they still did but the used to offer discounted tickets maybe $10, for the Broadway in Akron shows and you could get the best unsold seats in the house. It was a nice perk when I was in school.

Terrible move for the U. I will be sending back the next request for money they send in the mail with a note that when they bring back Broadway in Akron I will reconsider giving them a donation.

My wife and I have had season tickets to Broadway in Akron for over 10 years. It would be a huge disappointment if this goes away. It doesn't seem like anyone at the U can answer if it is or not. I think the format for bringing in shows was switched to a few years ago put the show on the hook to sell tickets rather than Akron agree to pay them call it $250k and if Akron sells enough tickets they make money and if they don't they lose. Not sure if that constitutes a rental or not.

Darrian Owens a WR from the College of Wooster (D-3) is transferring to walk on at Akron. He had 41 catches for 857 yards and 13 TDs last year. http://www.the-daily-record.com/local%20sports/2015/07/26/monheim-ready-for-big-senior-season-at-illinois

I hear All-MAC Defensive CF Mason Mamarella will also be transferring to Can't.

Finally released the recruits. http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2015-16/releases/20150724byj9qr International players from Spain and Portugal

Mattocks will not be playing in Jamaica's Gold Cup match against Haiti after losing his appeal on his second yellow in the last game. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sport/CONCACAF-Gold-Cup--JFF-loses-yellow-card-appeal-for-Mattocks--Watson

Been a pretty quiet front this summer in regards to Zips basketball. Are the Zips players no longer playing in the Cleveland/Akron Pro Am league at Walsh? I briefly looked through some videos and didn't see any Zips but there was a Harney sighting. Did the NCAA now make these off limits for D1 schools or is there something else going on for the Zips to not be playing there?

Unfortunately I will have to miss this for a good cause. My grandmother-in-law will be turning 100 in Illinois.

OMG, I'm going to bed

Another good pizza place is Erika's outside Doylestown. They only take cash and check and only serve pizza as food and have a good selection of beers. What makes the pizza good is the secret "shake" of spices you pour on the pizza. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Erikas-Pizza/117517511600789

Thanks

Anyone know if the trip to Brazil is happening this summer? I think it was dependent on fundraising and since we haven't seen much on it maybe it isn't happening.

For some reason I thought Zach Paul might have graduated when I didn't see him out there. I think kicking game should be a strength in the MAC with him back. Stein has a good leg and hopefully accuracy has improved.

I echo what others have said as needing playmakers on O. I hope we find some WR transfers that are eligible this fall.

Strong schedule but no Akron Tournament that they have had in years past.

Dakwar red carded 9 minutes in. But Zips have it tied 1-1 in the 28th minute.

They mentioned Akron and Dambrot quite a bit during the broadcast. Interesting that they had Agba listed at 6'3 which definitely isn't accurate

I guess that answers where the extra scholarship was coming from as we lost 3 seniors including Tree and had 3 sign with this class plus Ivey.

Stainbrook getting lots of love from the commentators and analysts against Arizona in the first half.

We lost yet we won. #TeamOhio http://gozips.com/sports/bsb/2014-15/releases/20150325oqhodv

Peter's team won the state championship earlier this month. Here is an article on the semifinal game http://www.phenomhoopreport.com/game-report-providence-day-vs-greensboro-day/ From the championship he only had 4 points due to foul trouble but Giles only had 11 http://www.bigshots.net/big-shots-today/ncisaa-finals-recap-2-a3-a-all-state-teams/

Congrats on a good run at the end of the season based on the circumstances.
