awesome article... really shines a brief light into the life of a full time college athlete. I share the same major with Zeke and its really cool running into him between classes in the Polsky building. Very friendly and laid back individual, but as the article showed hes very driven and well-spoken too. We're very fortunate to have someone of his ability and personality on our campus. Sucks those stereotypes are out there, but they inevitably will and you have to just move past them. Hoping for a good Zeke performance tonight. We could certainly use it!

hahaha and as if almost on cue i get this message from the infamous "Jake": all hail the almighty and all-knowing jake! lol

Here's where I have a problem with this part of the topic. We sit here and speculate about where this new arena will be built. I agree with most people in that this arena will more likely be a University-only project more than a partnership with the City due to the constraints the City would place on the design. Thats not the problem... The problem is location. Spicer and Exchange? REALLY? To build an arena there, we'd have to purchase closer to 20 properties on that single block to fit an arena no bigger than the JAR. In fact, that block wouldn't be able to hold any arena larger than BGSU's brand-spankin-new Stroh Center. Toledo's Savage Arena, which was built in '76? That wouldn't fit if you tried. That means the University would then have to buy 2 blocks-worth of properties, assuming all owners willingly sell (id guarantee we'd end up with another Manny's situation) to fit a properly-sized arena with all the amenities (suites and the like) into that area of campus. How many people REALISTICALLY see that happening? Don't count me as one.. Point is, I sincerely doubt it would get built there. Can it? If there's a will, theres a way; I just think the way is the same route we took to get Infocision Stadium built, and we all remember the headache that came from that. I still put my money on the space between the Kaiser building and the Mayflower building. The area would look GREAT with a modern basketball arena and theres realistically no other open and large enough space for such a building.

if youre looking to save a little money and dont mind sitting in the sections on either end of the court for friday's game, buy your tickets through the MAC championship job fair offer. they're going for $9/seat and generally arent bad seats at all.

LOVE this place so much. Its awesome to eat or get food from somewhere as friendly and nice as this place is. I dont go that often, but even then Chuck knows me by name. Makes a big difference, IMO. And their support of akron is pretty much unrivaled in town. If youre in town and havent tried it yet, DO IT. You wont be disappointed... I havent!

skeptical. Let me know when a source is actually provided...

could be worse... could be wednesday night's crew

If I could just choose 5 years, I would. Thats how long the vest has to wait before he can really coach again and if thats what he truly wants to do, he'll just wait it out here. If he's truly heading into a career as an administrator, then Id say a little less. Anyone else see this hire and think that if things with YouTubeTom moves on, he'd be a prime candidate?

unless the hiring is for something entirely outside of athletics (HIGHLY unlikely to me), I think this would be a good observation.

the reason the factoid that its a temporary move wasnt reported is because the general populus of Cleveland still hates LeBron with a livid passion, so to play the strings of the angry cleveland sports fan, they make sure they leave out the bits that make things seem reasonable. Notice how we here in Akron have moved on and report everything as-is? Yeah... get a grip with reality, cleveland, and grow a pair. and while youre at it, take a look at Kyrie Irving before we lose him too.

tarnished, yes... but his successes as a coach cannot be discounted. I'll still remember him as the greatest coach in CFB history. To give a bit of perspective, Woody Hayes is still regarded as one of the best OSU coaches, but nobody will ever forget what he did.

nice attempt at a troll. now gtfo

weekly visitor and on a first name basis with the guys down there. They are by far the best Deli I've visited in the area and yes they are a HUGE supporter. Signed basketballs, footballs, memrobilia, etc. They are about as pro-akron as they come. And the food is amazing too!

glad to see NIU handedly take the victory tonight and take the MAC to 4-1 in bowls this season, i believe tying C-USA for best overall record in the 2011/2012 bowl season. Happy to see the MAC well represented and perform equally well, and especially happy to see there are more opportunities for teams from our conference to go bowling even if they dont win the conference title. hopefully we can join them sooner than later!

agreed on all accounts. the only time ive seen the PD mention our new hire, they use him to talk about the OSU clown show. Disgusting.

It also seemed like a summary of the GoZips.com article. But... I agree, if we can get more media outlets interested and involved, that can only be a good thing for us. Just need to get those big boys up north to take their respective heads out of OSU's butt and give us more coverage... but that will only come in time and winning, which hopefully will come sooner than I am willing to predict

where did this canton repository come from? i dont recall them ever giving the zips any coverage up until 1) the tressel rumor went ballistic and 2) the bowden hire. All of a sudden they're following the zips like crazy. side thought: still cant get the thought out of my head of wanting to call it the Canton Suppository lol

Even LeBron's fiance got a ring before he did.

thirsty dog 12 dogs of christmas = wow. definitely liked it better than GLBC Christmas Ale.

Don't forget the MAC champs. NIU still has to face Arkansas St in the GoDaddy Bowl on Jan 8. my bad hahaha but still, a VERY good showing by the MAC this year.

also, according to TW from yesterday's presser, Bobby will be making some appearances at some events to support Terry. Mentioned spring game as one instance.

the MAC could have very easily been 4-0 this season, but at 3-1 its still very respectable. glad to see 4 MAC teams bowling and representing the conference well. MAC football definitely seems to be on the rise across the board so lets hope that continues here
