  1. That game last year the Zips quit. No question about it. 2-2 OOC can and will be done. I actually see 3-1, assuming that Marshall and Pitt is not as good as people think. This will be the season that people around the country will know what a Zip is and the Lady will stand tall!
  2. I respectfully disagree. I peosonally know people that live in that area(N. Randall, Maple Hts, Ecuid). that did not have a choice but to go to Beachwood/Legacy because of Randall closing and refused to shop at Southgate(a godzilla sizes stip plaza). Like I said eariler, Crocker does well because of the location, not because of the demo there. I used to go to Gameworks all the time and it took me over an hour to get there, so I would have to make it a day trip. Beachwood does have the income, but it is a huge regional draw(like you stated) because there is not a lot of options on the East Side of Cleveland for malls. Belden does well because the only other mall in that area is Canton Center, and I am not even sure if they are still open.
  3. Hold on, If I am traveling that far to do anything, it is for a reason. Crocker Park does well because it is very, very far away on the West Side and you HAVE to make it a day trip from Akron. Beachwood Place does well because its direct competition(Randall Park Mall), closed. Also, GP1, if you are going to use "Southern Summit County has the heaviest population," The first thing I ask is draw a line across 224, then look at census data on every community south. There is almost no way that can be possible. Bottom line, if a Sin Tax is even on the table, all we have to do is look at what happened to the County north of us. I watched a couple of days ago the WEWS video on the Sin Tax. I don't want that. Also, the one thing that noone seems to be talking about is the Civic. I promise you if they pecive this even be remotely a threat, the Akron Community Foundation(and they have serious weight) will jump in on this. If it ever get to that point, this whole ballot is D.O.A. in November.
  4. I have a question: Assuming he is the next President, could the Ohio Board of Regents step in and say no?
  5. There is one thing that caught my attention. I was reading the article in the Beacon and I saw this: “What are you trying to do, intimidate me?” He may have been joking, but taking a swipe at one of the few nationally know and respected professors in his field(John Green) is NOT to win anyone over! Myself included!
  6. I know that this is a sub-topic, but I will start one anyway. For those of you that was at the spring game this weekend: What did you think? I know that the Defense is always way, way ahead of the offense. However, other than one big run, I seen nothing, IMO. Am I wrong? Are they holding everything close to the vest? Am I paranoid? For the record, I have video of the game(I am surprised that noone posted this yet). Too early to tell? Just wondering….. The Game
  7. Nice!!!!!!!!
  8. IMO, I doubt it. The City is in the hole and do not have the cash.
  9. They really want a dome! Pending FAA approval
  10. I dont like it. Maybe it woulk better if was an actual jersey.
  11. What got me excited for next weeks game was a comment by Bowden at the end of the video: Link
  12. Hold on, That might work as a marketing gimmick! Watch one half, then have 30,000 for the worlds largest nap time for an hour!
  13. ^this This is also my major concern this season. The defense especially.
  14. It can be done. It us all about the people with the vision. Look at it like this: Basketball and Soccer is there. Football is the driver and we are getting there.
  15. AAC is not totally a pipe dream. All they seem to care about at the moment is television markets. I remember when the (then) Big East had their indoor track here and I remember the talk then. At least they were at the very least "snooping around." I ideal case, IMO would be the following: -Football only to the AAC -Soccer to be independent -All others to A-10(not sure what Rifle would do)
  16. For me, it is at least have something education-wise to bring to the table(via time doing it. I am all for going outside the box). However, why hire someone with no school experience unless you KNOW that he will suceed? If it came all the way down to that, I would rather have someone in-house, of even Gordon Gee, and I cannot even believe I am throwing out that name!
  17. If he becomes President(which I am against) there is no way he goes back to coaching. The University would put a cluase against that.
  18. Frenchy just said that Westerns bench had not scored a point. Foul the starters a lot
  19. OVERTIME in Cleveland: Zips and Broncos Tied! Should not be this close
  20. And Western back up
  21. LOL
  22. Are we on one of those "Patented Akron scorning droughts?"
  23. For those of you (like me) that could not go, it is on TWC channel 311
  24. Gamer Over! On to Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  25. I agree, Looks great
