I agree with you. I also lived in Phoenix(Buckeye to be more specific) for 6 years. There are transplants out there, but if it wasn't ASU, they did not care and that was even debatable at times. I remember I was in Native New Yorker and they had Akron Soccer on. Every one was watching and it felt great. It was even better because Since everyone knew me, and they knew I was from Akron. I got the same questions (what is a Zip, ect.) and they could not believe that they were that good

After reading this article, it is very scary when the quote that sticks out to me is "Our goal this year is to win one more game than last year," Coach Bowden said. "We just have to work to get that win and then build from that." It might be a long, long year

Mabye that is why they fired him today.

So it should be modeled after NFL Eroupe?

How about behind the old Firestone complex? Other than the canal, I don't think there is nothing back there.

"Wagner has almost no experience in the 3-3-5 defense" If this writer only knew

Or better, not the CBI

It is not over. I will take the NIT. You never know, maybe the selection committee might be nice and make the Zips one of the "First Four" in Dayton

I just do not see the Main St site happening and here is why. On that corner is the following: Canal Park(not moving) The old O'Neils building(not going anywhere) Polsky Building(already owns) That leaves the Mayflower. This becomes a issue because it is Public Housing and there is probably not enough space for a arena. East of Route 8 sounds like a good spot, or Spicer/ Exchange

One line got my attention "They were like a poor man’s Duke."

Talk about bringing down the Hammer!

Sorry about that, I found it

Are you sure? My understanding was that Summa bought the Martin lot. BTW, I worked at Martin in 2004-2005 and the Haven was a huge issue at night

I actually thought about that location. There is 2 major issues with that. The first one is Summa owns the property and they would have to sell. The second one is the Haven of Rest and they are not moving.

Good Find CK. All the love from the Moderator there :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Dave, They almost have to because there is a National Weather service office there. Also as far as the Akron area coverage, Western Reserve Media did a great documentary on this subject.

Now this is interesting. My question is after listening to the interview is "did Conference USA try this already?" I actually had a thread about this two years ago and I will ask the same questions that I asked then: -Travel cost and time -Do you take some sports or all sports -SOS concerns -Charther members of other conferences wanting to leave, or wanting to have their rival game every year -How many teams and who -Getting post season selections(i.e. BCS games) -money sharing between schools Honestly, thoughts of going to El Paso or Charlotte for a Tuesday night game do not excite me at all

Actually it is Cleveland-Akron-Lorain. However you are right. I would put big money on if Akron joins the Big East(unless it implodes), every station there would run down here to cover the Zips just to say "there a Cleveland team" As a side note, Akron has been fighting this for years. Do not believe me? They have been trying to bury Akron for a long time and won. Cleveland as a market, wants nothing to do with Akron unless money is involved.

I was watching Newsnite Akron and this was a topic. I hate it that they went strait back to the crossing the tracks project from 20 years ago. It seems like even the local media even has no idea on what to do on this subject. The person who said this(Jody Miller) is totally stuck in the past. If there is a disconnect from the University and the City like the show suggest, maybe this can be solved

I have been thinking about this since this thread started. I keep coming back to this: If they are "at large" I keep coming back to this in my head: Off to Dayton (part of the first four) I say this because of the conference. I know that there is no control over that, but the selection committee mite do it out of pity/spite.

Yuck. Even I had go go back to a thread that I started 3 years ago to see what teams I said

EMU CMU WMU? I don't want them. They would just drag the conference down. Marshall? Take them back for the third time? Even the MAC is not that stupid.

According to the Beacon, he had no talk about a arena (bottom of article)

I know, that will drag everything down

Did anyone see this today? ohio.com
