Upset fans responded here I'm releasing a new shirt this spring.

Sitting at Quicken Loans Arena watching a Cleveland Cavaliers game would be your worst nightmare.

For the unaware, there is a hyperlink attached to the word, "Tinder" in the original post. If one would click on it, it would take them to the wiki page with a full explanation. It doesn't get easier, until the enhancements in telepathic communication are advanced.

Valid point. Judging from the response, it deserved it's own topic found here, under Marketing and Promotions.

Interesting promotion in Toledo. UT is giving away prizes to one potential Tinder couple that match up during the first half, including $100 cash and tickets to Cavs vs. Celtics next month. If that doesn't scream out love at first swipe, I don't know what does.

TWC For DirecTV subscribers, I saw this before Xmas. Not much since. Maybe that puts an end to some folks issues.

Reminder of one of many "events" of how coach Winters Bowden ended up at UA. KD and Caleb were here b4 YouTube Tom. If he is the BEST guy to move us forward, fantastic, if not, I would start researching now.

Done. Too long. Half of those questions you know the answer to before you fill out, the other half make no difference. IMO, a few of those questions are someone trying to justify some decision already made, and the answer will make no difference. Someone who knows the answer, doesn't need to ask most of those questions. AND the popular answer on a survey will probably not be the CORRECT one. I wish the person making those decisions, were passionate about the Zips, and knew the answer to most of those questions without asking. Do I really have to look at a Columbus logo on my AKRON ZIPS survey. For the love of gawd. TeamOhio was a stupid idea, stop trying to justify it!!! Enough already. I would like to know the result, if ZN is the top way to get Akron sports information.

Wanna send the crowd in a tizzy? Set some highlights to Renegade. I have never seen one song have so much effect on a team's performance AND crowd. Brief history. Sell some cool purple towels for two bucks (over cost) with proceeds going to cancer research. Incorporate Pete in the video a few times.

I recorded this Sunday night and watched it last night. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. Great story, and well produced. I can assure you that you will learn something watching this. It's not your typical Disney Miracle (on ice) story. Set your DVR for Friday Feb 13th 12 AM on ESPN2. Rebroadcasting Feb, 16, 21, 22. The so-called bad guys from America's ideological adversary were in reality good men and outstanding players, forged into the Big Red Machine by the genius and passion of Anatoli Tarasov. There was a reason they seemed unbeatable, especially after routing the Americans in an exhibition the week before the Winter Games began. And there was a certain shame in them having to live the rest of their lives with the results of Feb. 22, 1980. In the 30 for 30 film "Of Miracles and Men," director Jonathan Hock ("The Best That Never Was" and "Survive and Advance") explores the scope of the "Miracle on Ice" through the Soviet lens. His intense focus on the game itself gives it renewed suspense and a fresh perspective. But the journey of the stunned Soviet team didn't begin -- or end -- in Lake Placid.

Right? My favorite part was KD referring to the NCAA tournament. Shows good priorities.

Lack of experience from playing extended minutes will do that. NR14 is exactly what this team needed this year. It is comforting to know he should be here another 3 years.

Highlights from last nights game all across the MAC. Current MAC standings. Jay Bilas Index: Top 68 rankings lack any Mac teams.

I don't expect Charles Barkley to post in this thread. "The NBA is about talent," Barkley continued. "All these guys who run these organizations who talk about analytics, they have one thing in common -- they're a bunch of guys who have never played the game, and they never got the girls in high school, and they just want to get in the game." An NBA coach, speaking to ESPN.com senior writer Ramona Shelburne, said there was value in the use of analytics but that it was limited. "To say they've revolutionized everything about coaching or basketball is just wrong," the coach said. The NBA coach said he used analytics but that a lot of the statistics and formulas have been available for 10 years. "You just had to look it up yourself on a computer," the coach said. "These guys are bright, ambitious and a lot of them have carved out niches for themselves where they take credit for everything," the coach added. "You're taking people with a background in analytics. But they're out evaluating players and making decisions."

He could be, if his superior believes that he has done a good job, and is capable of progressing to where the Akron Zips should be. If not, it's interesting to see what names appear on a list of a school close by.

I'll be interested to see who makes it on the long list. I know one thing Dr Scarborough could boast about if need be. Chicago-based DHR International will assist the committee in identifying and screening potential candidates.

EA makes the point of how many players tonight have not played in this rivalry game. Can't has had some teams with a lot of new faces in the past, but Akron head coach Keith Dambrot admits, this is unique for the Zips. "It's probably never been like this for us,'' he said. "Even when we have lost five guys, we always had eight back that have been through it." This year the Zips have freshmen Noah Robotham, Antino Jackson, B.J. Gladden and Aaron Jackson who have never played in this rivalry, while sophomores Kwan Cheatham and Isaiah Johnson had marginal minutes as freshmen last year. Can't is much the same as sophomore Marquise Lawrence, and junior transfers Gary Akbar and Craig Brown have never played in this atmosphere. Junior Chris Ortiz has seen just marginal minutes in the past.

Illinois.

I sure do. I remember when Luke (with Hixon) and Charlie (with Cherry) were leading Zips offenses. It was pretty awesome to watch. Too many games to type out for you. The game when Byron Leftwich was injured and carried down the Rubber Bowl field was played on ESPN for a month. I remember Dwight Smith dominating a game, and just about winning the game all by himself from the CB position, despite James Harrison's best efforts on a freezing winter day in Portage County. I remember future HOF JT33 making every offense he played adjust to him. Notice every name I mentioned in this post played in the NFL. I'm as big as a coach Bowden fan as the next guy, but if you think entertaining football wasn't played in Akron before, you are shortsighted.

LeBron attends Zips game.

I wish we could bottle Keeners passion for the Zips and put it in the Akron water supply like the Scarecrow did in Batman Begins.

I can't believe it's taken you guys this long. I hardly mention it any more since it will be lasting until 2023. I try to ignore it and take a little nip of the "KD knows best Green Kool-Aid." Aaaaahhhh, yeah, that hits the spot. Go Zips!

Janoris had the same tendency, played for coach Bowden at North Alabama after being "kicked" out of Florida, and now scores TDs on Sunday in the NFL. Apples and oranges maybe? Maybe not. It was interested to hear coach Bowden say at the press conference...the guy that will play QB at Akron next year, will not be the one that turns the ball over. Chapman sure has a lot to prove, I hope he is willing to work hard to do it, because some believe he might just be the guy to put the excitement back in our offense. Is he NFL bound? Seems like he learnt a lesson.
