Excellent article.

Let me tell you how it's worse. You could be a fan of Roethlisberger. So LeBron has a big ego, big deal.

"that would be a public relations disaster..."

The Cleveland Cavaliers played heavily on the "home" theme when they made their presentation to LeBron James over the wekeend. And now they are sharing part of their presentation. The team's home page includes this video, which it showed to James on Saturday. The Cavs' video production team has won a local Emmy for its game presentation video, and this one is just as well done -- especially to sentimental Clevelanders. In the video, the "home" theme is hit hard, with appeals coming from fans and followers. Cavs try to represent Akron in their video. Good job?

Buffalo beat them 40-3 last year dominating both lines of scrimmage racking up 508 yards of total offense and rushing for 250. I would guess with the pro-style offense we are going to run left, run right, run middle and repeat. Hopefully AA has 200+ rushing.

Great job, thanks for taking the time to post.

Sounds interesting to me, one of the few things I enjoyed on tv in the last year was on History Channel. Four modern day explorers take the same route through Africa as Stanley may have followed to find Livingstone. They did it in 30 days. I forget what it was called. Maybe Expedition Africa. I still have your last suggestion to read. Plan on doing so at the end of this month when I take a mini vaca to Long Island.

Still open. If I'm ever near there at lunchtime, I still stop.

Lebron continually says he wants to put Akron on the map. U is looking for a new basketball facility. U is short on funds. LBJ is a potential billionaire. Helping to construct a new facility with his name on it seems to solve a lot. There has to be a way that a new facility can benefit both parties. I would think Akron basketball would get serious talent and recognition if LBJ's name was on that new facility. Maybe a little selfish of me, but that's what I would like even if he does play for the Knicks.

Good to see a nice post about the ticket office, it has been a struggle to get this far. Hope you enjoy the game and atmosphere.

Wasn't that the Mariners battle cry in 1995?

How much will LBJ donate to the University of Akron if he makes 1.94 BILLION DOLLARS!?!? We should be able to get that new basketball arena. THAT should put Akron on the map LBJ. That's what you want...right?

Z had an injury that was slowing him at the beginning of last year that he played through.

One of my favorites.

I would guess it's the grad assistants making contact on facebook and not iCoach.

I still remember that billboard. It was pretty cool. It might have been our last football marketing billboard. Now they just call me every week and say "are you going to buy tickets" I am, I just want to see how many times this guy calls before the season starts. So far 4 times.

My great aunt would have a good saying every time I said "I hope" when referring to sports. I think it would probably apply here. I'll bite... what did your great aunt say? Me sainted Granny use to say .... "shite in one hand and wish in the other. Then see which one fills up first." That's the one. She had a similar one when I would say "I thought..."

...And the little penguin dropping.

Thank you for replying.

Oren Wilson sounds like trouble to me.

Source? Scout forums. It would be advantageous to ZN readers if you would type...."Scout forums (include link here) suggests that (players name here) might be transferring to Akron"

If I said it once, I said it 10 times last year, our staff could not adjust a game plan to save their....well, job I guess. That is one of the things I will be watching close this year to evaluate iCoach. Win or lose. I think both of our new schemes lend themselves to a better chance of success in this department.
