Don Drum commissioned statue.

I miss the real Bubba when he played for OU. Classic times.

Associate AD, George Van Horne. Class guy.

I thought that might be footage from last year mixed in, no?

I think the Zips seem to be the Zips biggest threat. Suspensions, injuries... if we can put our best team on the floor, I think we will peak at the end of the season.

LA Zips Fan, making some nice points. I am dreaming of an athletic program (basketball & football) that grows bigger by the year. I don't think we have achieved that in recent years. Our student athletes deserve better. Our alumni deserve better. Our students deserve better. Our boosters deserve better. We need somebody with a plan that can execute.

Chase was "big" muscular dude when he played for Akron. Brian's body is not the same. B's motor is high, and has great instincts. I kind of compare him to a Jerry Olsavsky. Undersized, but in the right spot at the end of the play. I wish him the best whatever the future holds for him.

With the little I know, just from reading here, that's going to be a tough decision. I might advise him to move. Hard opportunity to turn down. BTW GP1, from what you wrote throughout the year, I got the impression that you were not real impressed with BW, does this change your opinion of his abilities at all?

I noticed that also. Listed as 4 pm here, and here. I'm guessing last night was a mistake, but you can check the links provided in the future to make sure.

Makes sense, he is that good. BUT, will he get PT there? If his goal is a professional career in football, if he hired me to be his adviser, I would suggest staying put. He has made a name for himself here, and will continue to do that next season. I hope TB has spoken with him. PS If he goes to Columbus, will he play the same position as he did here?

I'm the same since I'm a Pens fan, but the show is so great, it really doesn't matter. I previously went back and watched 24/7 Jimmie Johnson - Race to Daytona from 2008, again, fantastic. Back on topic: While the show last night comes no where near the production value and information that the HBO 24/7 series does, it was a decent start. It's nice to have something because it gets fans more involved. I want to know more. Considering the budget, I'll give it a C+ with room for improvement. Even though I DVR'd it and fast forwarded through the commercials, they were still annoying. That funeral dude sure got his dollar's worth out of that show!?!?

LBJ Goes "Home" with Rachel Nichols

+1 Div II recruiting and Div I recruiting are apples and oranges. Glad TB has experience successfully doing the later. It will be fun to see what he can pull off this year.

Been out of contact for a week. Glad to read PW got a raise. Well played. I hope he can now get that elusive Div II title he desires so much.

Just got back in the country, I have been without phone or internet service for a week. Is this true? Bowden come calling? I assumed Gerry set up an interview from the previous coaching relationship at Akron. Edit: Sorry, just saw it confirmed here. Unreal!?!?

Does the U actually have to "fire" YouTube? Isn't his contract up soon? They would simple not extend his contract? Somebody that cares/knows more can correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't, I just want to hear the new coach tell me he has his work cut out for him, but he will work tirelessly to make the alumni proud of Akron football. Let us know how many more followers they get because of this announcement, I'm curious. Currently: Twitter- 1628 followers, Facebook- 14,972. I'll let you know a day or two after the announcement. What were the results of this? BTW: As I predicted, ZN had the news before anything was tweeted. Nice work HT.

This would be a surprise to me.

Thanks for the info. He does look like that shadow. Zips Win! will blow a gasket if this happens.

What if JT didn't get that gift pass interference call in the championship game? Think his legacy would be different?

I didn't mind it. It's a good reminder. Like when a overweight girl puts a photo of a thin girl on her fridge. Motivation.

Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl? Silly name. I will be tuning in for MJ vs MT Former Akron vs former Akron Bowl on Dec 31st.

Brilliant. I'm always amazed how people put so credence into what is written by some.

I gave it a try, I lasted about 7 minutes. Good luck to PW.
