I like the "Bowden Ball" logo. Immediately print up 10,000 static stickers for cars with schedule on the peel, and give them away at local places of business. (From the video) Looks like some shoddy play at the QB position...

Far walk from campus.

I'm guessing the answer to most of your inquiries is "the lack of video." You have to go with what you have. Maybe the title of the thread should have been "Top 10 Plays of the Year That We Have Video Of" I enjoyed watching the video.

Winning the regular season gives you the #1 seed. With the #1 seed, you should have the advantage to win the MCC. A team only has to win two games in the MAC tourney to get an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney (which is the goal, as stated by KD and players). I would say the new format puts some emphasis on winning the regular season title.

West Virginia soccer?

Let my one margarita experience be a warning to anybody thinking of ordering a margarita at Chipotle....DON'T DO IT. It really looks like a bad idea when I actually type that out. Maybe I should start doing that more often. The margaritas in lot 9 blow those things away.

I would like to do the same thing for the University of Michigan alumni in the Akron area at an Aeros game on August 18th. If somebody has that email list, please forward it to me.

They should put Tressel outside of the gate with a "Donate Here" sandwich board sign. Half the honks will think they are giving to Columbus St. Turn these lemons into lemonade.

Dodd's points are valid. I rationalize the hiring in my mind hoping that JT gets some OSU honks to contribute to Akron that would normally contribute to Columbus St.

I'm with you, made me almost embarrassed to be a Zips fan, got a weird feeling. Last years conversation was worse..."hey Dr Z, I went to practice today and I'm telling you Dr Z, I really like whats going on Dr Z, this is going to be a different year in Zips football Dr Z" In a way he was right, it was different! I think I picked up my last 972 call.

Anybody but LR8. Looks like George sees the same thing I did last year. Good observation George.

Good call.

I had this elaborate long winded thesis written up to try to get you to admit that, such a waste of my time. You have given me an idea for a new angle though.

Good topic, nice list. I'm not sure how one define "busts." Expectations vs production? One issue I would have, would be the name David Harvey. (click through this SI list to see how many landed in the NFL including Tebow). He led the team in catches and TDs his freshman year!?!? My gawd that kid had talent, and it showed on the field. His off field issues ultimately ended up making his talents useless, but the dude had skills. The other guys on your list never showed much or anything on an Akron court/field, so that's what makes DH different. I probably wouldn't have Ianello #1, he's on the list for sure, but the biggest bust? Worst hire, yes. I never even heard of the dude when we hired him. I'll never understand that hire till the day I die. I would move Bain and Euton up on the list, and Conyers down. At least Conyers had one good year, but I agree with you, he should be on the list. You'll probably get a lot of others who disagree. Shane & Walt are probably deserving. Igor should have made the top ten. I think JD told the story of how PSU wanted him, but he said Akron offered first. I would disagree with Dru Joyce, Romeo Travis, and Jeremiah Wood. I think they played to their potential. I don't think it was any of their faults they didn't succeed more than they did. Fun topic.

Anybody find those radio spots Cincy did poking fun of OSWho? I posted them years ago, but I can't seem to locate them. They were AWESOME!

I love looking at old posts, gives you good perspective on posters who have a grasp on whats going on. I have a thread topic in my head dealing with "Homers vs Realest." You'll see a distinction if you go back just one year.

Mike posted this yesterday. From George: You will be worse off for doing so, trust me. This years team will look nothing like last years team.

The excuses for losing this season outnumber our actual loses.

Seems odd, but I think we are in the minority. I don't understand it.

I must have missed that one. Sorry. It's a great question, that could have good discussion.

For sure. Arnold got all excited because he believed he knew the answer to Mr. Kotter's question. I believe I know the answer to mivis12's question, and so do you.
