Youngstown State: The entire city of Youngstown is anxious to find out why Mark Stoops has yet to be named head coach at YSU. We wonder if a major BCS program is interested in Stoops as a DC. Jimbo? Some people believe if Arizona AD Jim Livengood in the next few days, Livengood would turn around and hire Stoops as the UNLV head coach.source

I'm not a huge fan. Offensive guy. Who likes the Pirates, Taco Bell and the theater??? Sounds like an offensive coordinator to me, not a head coach at Akron.

Tom better find a guy with a sense of humor. I think THAT is most important thing.

Hixon is Peter Kings special teams player of the week. Another MAC player is offensive player of the week.Domenik Hixon, PR/WR, New York Giants.Nursing a 24-17 lead with six minutes left, the Giants' punt-return team lined up for a boomer by Dallas' Mat McBriar. Fielding it at his 21, Hixon weaved and deked for a few yards, then found an alley down the right side. He got two good blocks and sprinted into the end zone. Ballgame.

If your a good coach, your a good coach, you don't change over night. Spurrier left Florida and was successful with SC, Saben left LSU and is successful with Alabama. You just can't say because someone was fired, we can't interview him, especially at Akron if you have a chance to hire someone that was successful as a head coach on a bigger stage.PS I hope you realize there is no "formula" to hire a head coach, or everybody would be successful.

I was just putting a face with a name for ZN. What coach can impress being interviewed now a days? They use one cliche after another so as to not say the wrong thing. Ask me any question about Zips football, and I'll answer it like JD used to do. I can tell you his answer before you ask the question.

Rump, you have to win as the most doom and gloom, the sky is falling poster on the football board. You do realize that we have only had TEN division I victories that aren't Ken+ or EMU (who hardly count as Div I) in the past FOUR years. (Read that sentence back a few times until you realize how crummy that is, then continue.) So what ever we were doing, it wasn't working! You want an assignment? I'll give you one. Tell every guy on defense to start studying the 4-3. Tell the kickers to practice high booming kicks. Do this, & we'll double our wins next year.

Even though Virginia is going to hire him today, I like the type of guy we are interested in...defensive guy with head coaching experience.I am also glad that we are not only looking at local guys who some posters think we need because they can "recruit this area" I think that's hog wash.

After 11 pts & 5 rebounds against A&M, Jimmy is starting to meet CK's high expectations.

25 Examples of the ONLY Oregon apparel any real man should be worried about!?!? THIS is how you get recruits to sign!

No inside information. I just don't feel PW has an adequate resume for this job.

Stop worrying, it won't be.

If you are looking for a topic that might have already been started, or looking for an old reference in a thread, the "search" feature on this site can be a real help. It's pretty easy, here's how:At the top of the page there is a box that reads "Enter words to search for..."If you type in a few key words that you think will be in the thread, select "go" (circled in green) you should have success.Sometimes it takes some tinkering to get the proper words to get the correct results.If you would like to search further back than 30 days you need to change the drop down at the bottom of the page (circled in red).If you are searching more than one word, use the plus key (+). Example: +jason +taylor

Brian played great and will have plenty of time to win individual awards in the next three seasons. Settle down Rump, it's only an award, not a game. Get upset at losing a game, not an individual award.

I hear that Terry Pluto will transfer back to the Beacon if Kehres gets hired. He is busy using the replace all function to change "Mount Union" to "Akron" in all his previous BJ stories on Mount Union. He figures he has enough articles to last 10 years. Terry is the first one to figure out "early retirement" in this shaky economy. Now if Tom can just make it happen. This will be bigger than his porn addiction piece (which I can't find to link here...anybody?).

I really don't care if he made his mind up or not already (which I think he might). I think it is pretty cool that he (or somebody) is personally answering everybody's email. It makes you feel like you are part of the process. I think it was Rasor who had a poll on his blog that asked what you would like to see out of the new AD. I believe "more marketing" was the answer. PS If he does have his mind already made up, his (or whomever) answer to my email indicates that I will be happy with his hire.Rump, why do all of your posts read so angry. Relax, watch a soccer game.

Nice panties on the OSU players. The look is better at Hooters.The Oregon baseball player with the yellow "O" on his chest is just ridiculous. Looks like he plays for team Cheerio.Girls should stick to designing dresses, not sports uniforms.

I agree, put the names on the back. Better for the fans & players. Going out of your way to not put them on, makes the coach seem like he is doing something he is not. PS There is no difference between no names on the back and what Oregon does. You CAN'T see them. PSS The name thing is a much more interesting subject than if the uniforms look cute on the players or not.

If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to complain about KD, here would be part of my complaint: I wish KD would establish a starting five and a leaner rotation. It seems to me that he goes out of his way NOT to establish this to teach some kind of team unity concept. I think he goes so far out of his way to do this that it actually becomes detrimental to putting the best Akron team on the floor during any given game. If he set his rotations earlier, rather than later, I think our team would be better off. His way seems to lend itself to injuries and suspensions and what not, but I would rather see some sort of set rotation. I don't believe he is "experimenting" with rotations that long. I can sit in the stands and figure it out in three games.Interesting article.

I was speaking of the ones they wore during the Arizona game. The names on the back are in white on a white jersey.The numbers were shiny gray. At first I thought it was a prank and they used duct tape to make them. Not a fan of them at all.If I lined up against any of them I would make fun of those girly uniforms all day long.The current Zips uniforms are way better. PS If a recruit decides on a school for the uniform, I don't want that recruit.oh yeah....

You don't have to worry, Tom emailed me today and wrote "we'll end up with a great coach"

We are hearing....

I thought of these silly "new uniform" threads while watching the Oregon/Arizona game.Oregon uniforms are C-R-A-P !!! The names on the back are in white on a white jersey.The numbers look like somebody used duct tape to make them. They looked horrible.The current Zips gear is 100 times better. We have WAY better things to worry about!
