Romeo's Mom is classic!

Oldie, but a goodie put up today after his Miami Heat meeting. Guess who is in Vegas with LBJ?

Does this help explain your NFL draft quote JZ?

Celtics acquire a center.

Pitt sophomores Tyler Boyd and James Conner were named to watch lists for the Maxwell and Hornung college football awards. Boyd and Conner are leaders at their positions, but incoming freshmen Adonis Jennings at wide receiver and running backs Chris James and Qadree Ollison arrived with plenty of accolades behind them. “They all can contribute (this season),” Conner said. Boyd said he has been impressed by what Jennings has shown in informal workouts.“(He) came out just like me in high school, four-star, top-notch receiver. His ball skills are good, his hands are good, his routes are good. Everything is good. Looking forward to this game! Eat them up, eat them up....

"Can't wait to give my all to this team and help get Akron football back on top."

Can we hire a real photographer to have proper images for marketing this?

I went from watching no futbol, to watching more futbol this year than NBA and MLB combined!?!? Predicting outcomes of the World Cup is as easy as Zips basketball with Dambrot.

Janoris Jenkins would be a great example of a similar situation where coach turned lemons into lemonade. Here's to hoping.

With the new all you can eat rule being passed by the NCAA, we need to up our food budget to move among the top of our conference.

Some ZN members paid under forty cents for both a pack of cigarettes, and a gallon for gas once. Times change, and markets adjust. Clicking on ohio.com always seemed too expensive (my time) too me anyway. I wonder if anybody will figure out how to charge by the time used, and provide content that you actually would want to use.

Done. Just a reminder, the search function is a nice feature to find older threads if they disappear on you.

Good spot for it. In his wife's bar, wearing his wife's hose (how Joe Namath of him). Maybe he'll play pro ball close to his wife's home town again.

I have never watched a full World Cup game in my life, and have only watched two Akron games (Zips never scored). I have probably watched 5 full World Cup games this year, and 5 more partial games. Like I always say, if you want to learn about a sport, bet on it. I took my own advice and joined a Fantasy World Cup poll. I like the way the World Cup is set up, with the groups and the elimination round, like Olympic hockey. Will I watch another futbol match between the end of this World Cup and the next one? Probably not, but Friday night, I started watching the Honduras Ecuador match. At half time I switched channels to watch the Indians game, I got bored and turned back to the futbol match because it was more entertaining. Surprised myself. PS I'm slowly accepting players faking like they are in critical condition for 30 seconds after they trip over someones foot. It's hard though.

I agree, hope the Zips do him proud when they don his gear.

New look.

I like your thought process QZ. I would guess the coaching staff's priorities differ. Like everyone else, I really hope that the PG situation is polar opposite from last season. I also hope some "veterans" take it upon themselves to up their work habits away from practice time. We will be good in the Mac, we need to be great.

Thanks ZG, I have also found it locally now. As promised will soon have some sort of beer report from Amsterdam/Germany/London. Lots of catching up to do with other stuff first. Short report, Amsterdam exceeded my expectations, Germany met my expectations, London fell short of my expectations. Quick crummy photo from my phone. Better photography soon. London Pride was one of the good ones I had in London. PS I never understood how Heineken was the third largest brewer in the world. I do now.

Thanks for the post JZ, was anything mentioned about the 3-4 defense?

Fourth, the beer is better, fifth the wine is better, sixth, the gaming is worse, seventh, the art is better, eighth, the language is different. The jury is still out on how homesick one would get.

Nice photos Keener. I'm in Amsterdam right now, I will have a full beer report (with photos) when I return. I am blown away!

Nice guy. Great to see that he can still be positive after such an injury-prone career. Good luck to him in his career after the NFL. NEVER gets old. Best Akron game I have attended.

Spent the weekend in Columbus, and discovered a brewery that I enjoyed. Elevator Brewery has some nice beers. I really like the Dark Horse, followed by the Heiferweizen wheat. The seasonal was Horny Goat, aged in whiskey barrels. This beer was made for Keener & CK. The only one I tried that I didn't like was the Bleeding Buckeye. Elevator Dark Horse won Best of Show at Cleveland Oktoberfest 2013. Try it, if you see it. Guessing his palate, I would guess Zipswin would appreciate it. I'll see if my local guy can get some in for Lot 9 this year.

Maybe not base, but it's a darn good indication when included with other evidence. Your league is only as good as the stars that play in it. Szczerbiak, Wells, Kaman, Shaw, Dial, Daniels, Trent, Jamerson, Hunter.... All played in the 90's and were drafted in the NBA. NOBODY has been drafted since. Nobody. Zero. Nada. That is a pretty good indication of the difference between the quality of the league then vs now. Throw in the lack of bids, and the seed difference, and that evidence is overwhelming IMO. The entertainment value lacks in Mac basketball comparatively speaking, Mac football does not. That is how I base my opinion. I prefer to watch top talent play.
