I also caught the show last week. First off I agree with other posters, they need to get that thing in HD quick. It's looks so mom-and-pop. Second, I enjoyed the Nik interview, I'm proud of his accomplishments in the classroom and his future goals. Third, KD needs to loosen up, Dunn and KD's back and forth seemed a little mechanical. Maybe they need to throw in a desk to sit behind (see every other show on STO) and tell the guys it's OK to talk over each other from time to time. Lastly, where can I buy stock in Eckard Baldwin funeral homes? They seem to be doing well. Personal note: I like the funeral home guy, I think my extended family has bought him a house over the many decades we've been in Akron, but there's something about that commercial... the dark circles around his eyes, the non-HD quality, the poor JAR lighting... he looks like the Grim Reaper standing next to KD.

The same thing happens with Tee It Up Ohio, I think it has something to do with STO not filling out the date or info details. Or my DTV box is embarrassed by my golf game and is trying to help out the only way it knows how.

There seems to be quite a few of them down here in Columbus. I think they're awesome. I had a civil engineer friend in college who assisted on a design for a roundabout right in front of Lake HS. They've recently put in a stoplight instead (if you know the area). He said for whatever reason their roundabout design was treated like it only belonged in 3rd world socialist countries.

A certain Aluminum mill that has existed on that site since the dawn of time.

I constantly have to tell out of state vendors over the phone that no, I'm not located in New Jersey.

I work with a fellow engineer down here whose kids go to Big Walnut. Blasting them last year was a treat. I work out in Newark, and was asking to find out who the "good schools" are around there. Dresden Tri-Valley was brought up as one, then they asked where I went to school. It was late fall 2008 and we had just hung 49 on them.

A fellow Blue Streak!

I agree, and I think we're underestimating what these players would do to the program in terms of talent. It is a sad indictment of our program that I would not be shocked if each of these guys were immediately in our top dozen players next year. I don't mean to overblow something that is just a rumor on a forum, but I think this move would be made to be over .500 next year. It's really the only way that happens. Maybe there was a conversation that we can't continue losing at this pace, and even with your "process" and player maturation we get to 4 wins next year... sorry coach, that's not going to be good enough. Get to 6-6 or better and then the following year sustain that with all your own players.

My first feeling was "yeah, what does this do to the locker room" but after reading some more posts and thinking a little longer, I care less for the locker room dynamics and way more for results. Plus I agree that the locker room isn't rock solid right now anyways. I know it's fun to bash Notre Dame, but saying that you don't care for their HS ratings, or that they weren't good enough to beat out their competition means nothing to me. With the way this team is playing, backups from major schools are better than our starters. Period. Also don't underestimate what a year of our young players learning from these "vets" might mean to their development.

I thought it was just my laptop... that does suck.

Multiple Moore scrambles, a big 20+ yard gain from the Chisel, a bullet pass to the FB at the 1, culminating with a Chisel dive into the endzone. Looked like a real team on that drive. Also the first time I've gotten to see the zips other than at OSU... there's alot more formations in this offense than one would believe listening to the "Pro set sucks" crowd.

Should have had a Pass Interfence in the endzone. Not sure how the ref missed it. It's usually a dead giveaway when the defender turns in the middle of a dive and pulls his "not me" hands back before he even hits the ground.

Just got done mowing in time to bring up the webcast of the game and watch our td drive. Moore looks like he has a good advantage scrambling with the ball against these slower, non-top 25 teams. Nice pass to the full back... just let it go and let your players make a play. Also, although the 1350 audio doesn't sink up, nice overall job with the webcast.

I'll throw in for the cause... I had some Dortmunder Saturday outside the Shoe.

Only difference, in Cleveland that walk involves traversing a gauntlet of exhibitionist, hookers, and thieves. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I'd make a sign that says:Can't State "Athletes"Look to your left and right, one of you 3 is on probation.

I don't post much, but this has to be one of the dumbest posts I've ever read. Coaches are supposed to figure things out... just not a practice? How exactly do coaches figure things out if not a practice? Draw it on a white board and then have Ianello run post patterns in the hallway? Hey, coach caught that pass against a phantom defense in the parking lot... let's put that in on gameday. Is there a smiley icon for someone saying "good GOD!" and slamming their head off their desk? This may be one of the dumbest posts I've ever read. Coaches aren't allowed to coach at 7 on 7s. They aren't allowed to hand the players a playbook. They aren't allowed to sit in the stands and watch. They aren't allowed to help set them up with another school. They aren't even technically supposed to know that a 7 on 7 even happened. Thus, the players can only work on what they already know at a 7 on 7. How the hell do you expect our coaches to try new things with our players when they can't have anything to do with these events? Telepathy? If a tree falls in the woods... If a practice happens that no coaches are present at, and the players don't run the coach's plays at a high enough level of intensity... does anyone give a crap?

You want to impress us, do something about our football team on September 3rd. In order to be saved, one must confess their wrongs. Until the Zips confess they are spending too much time building and not enough time focued on winning, they cannot be saved. I thought they were supposed to focus on doing their best... or so said Woody Harrelson or somebody. Building isn't doing your best. Doing your best leads to winning. Building may be doing your best with that collection of players. Doing your best may lead to winning, or it may not. Besides, to your point, at the end of the day it all comes down to which basketball offense you run.... put the ball in the hoop or don't put the ball in the hoop. Gee... I sure hope we chose the right one.

LET'S GO ZIIIIIIIPPPSS!!!Keep the ball moving, play slow-down D, but I say keep running against the press.Nik... keep getting pissed!

Would/could we pull something like this off? Does the jumbotron at Akron have the capability of piping in the game feed?I bet if it were advertised, you could fill the place up for this game. UA could make a ton of money on the concessions and we'd get to enjoy a gamelike atmosphere.Even get that guy out there that acts like he's a member of the scream team!What's everyone think?

I probably should know this, but who won it the past 4 years?

Or Linhart goes off for 20 in this next game... single handedly knocking of the Sweaters by a final score of 20-17.
