Somebody please take a new photo at this event, that photochop job is terrible.

Nice article.

I wonder if any NFL execs have contacted coach Bowden for an opinion? NFL.com story yesterday by Albert Breer Executives agreed that he is talented and has been honest about his issues, though it continues to trouble them that the drug use, by Jenkins' own admission, wasn't curtailed after he was thrown off Florida's team by coach Will Muschamp. The Florida program had problems with players testing positive in recent years, with Minnesota Vikings receiver Percy Harvin and New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez being prominent examples of ex-Gators plummeting on draft day as a result. It's the combination of issues, however, that puts Jenkins in a more serious category, possibly taking a player with top-half-of-the-first-round talent out of the first night of the draft altogether. "He's running with the wrong people," an NFC personnel executive said. "They gave him every chance in the world at Florida, and it didn't work. … And he gets to North Alabama, and he's still smoking because he's got this big-fish, little-pond thing going. I don't see him going in the first round, and a lot of teams have him off their board completely."

There is NO chance of it being worse than last year. And I am for certain, that 2013 will get better, and then again in 2014. Knowing that, I can deal with a few loses this season. Best line of the article: Even one-time Lord of Ohio, Jim Tressel, has at least temporarily left his coaching days behind him to become the University of Akron's Vice President of Strategic Engagements, whatever that is. I like "one-time Lord..."

After watching this game in 2009, I thought PN7 had potential. Unfortunately for us, it never got much better. Why? Lack of coaching? Too much change (coach/system)? I don't know, but I saw a young QB with a lot of potential that day. I saw nothing last year that indicated any stability at the QB position. Time to move on.

Good work.

Thanks for the update. I like this part best: Of the quarterbacks, Kyle Pohl masterminded the best drive of the day – cool methodical and it culminated in a touchdown.

That is one depressing quote for an Akron basketball fan. So KD wants me to lower my expectations?

Not on the roster. April 5th Orlando Sentinal article: Avis Commack’s felony theft charge has been reduced to a misdemeanor, but he transferred to Akron after receiving his diploma. Good question for George.

Good mechanics will take care of that, and that can be coached too...unless your name is Tebow.

I'm hoping Pohl wins this battle. My QB needs a strong arm to be able to make all the throws, the rest can be coached.

Considering our mascot, should it be "If a Kangaroo, Can Pull a Canoe, Hitch it To", nah, that needs work.

Found this Rotoworld: NFL Network's Charley Casserly said on Path to the Draft Wednesday that North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins is "50-50" to be drafted in the first round. Casserly noted that Jenkins has three documented arrests, and "I'm not sure I remember a first-round pick with that in his history." Our best guess is that the vast majority of teams will remove Jenkins from their first-round draft boards, but he'll be selected in the early to middle part of the second. Casserly did call Jenkins the best pure man corner in this year's draft. After listening to Casserly for years, it amazes me that he was a GM. I listen to Kirwan often, and I would give him the keys to my franchise in a heartbeat, I wouldn't trust Charley to change my oil in my car. I'm not saying he is right or wrong on Jenkins though.

So Akron is built for the long run (with an inside game), but has never won an NCAA tourney game. OU is built for the short run (with three point shooting) and just won two straight tourney NCAA games. Got it. Looking forward to the long run. BTW What percentage of points did Akron score in the paint this season?

Interesting read by Kevin Van Valkenburg. The mistrial of LeBron James One game in the life of the most confounding player of our time This story appears in the April 16, 2012 "One Day, One Game" issue of ESPN The Magazine.

Does somebody actually own one of these? Take a look, did they just overprint the Dadgum! on top of an existing shirt, instead of creating new artwork? That would explain a little of the issue.

I'm not wearing that thing. Looks like "yum" instead of "gum" too. For reference, here is the original post I would wear this one. Subtle, yet humorous. Although I like the color and graphic on the bookstore one better.

GoZips dot com Announcement I still don't get the punctuation?

I wonder what makes Marla write..."still in the running"?

Isn't it fun to follow your favorite team in the local paper each day? I'm loving it. Doesn't even seem like a hard task, actually I bet it's fun talking to coach Bowden after practice.

I appreciate the photos Karen Schiely took.

Thanks for the response. I know you have stated that you haven't watched film on last season (a waste IMO), but you would see plenty of Moore's passes being batted down if you did. I would think at 6'4, DW should not suffer from the same inability. Good luck on the sleep.
