Spin

I can't get ESPN3 on my lapper. Time Warner has too many stinkin hoops to jump through to get it to work. I spent an hour on the phone with India trying to get my account information.

Read up above. NPSL in 2012 So it's a new NPSL, not the NPSL that was formed from the AISA survivors and the ashes of the MISL, which later changed it's name to MISL. But a new NPSL. An outdoor NPSL. But not the original NPSL, which merged with the USA to frm the NASL. The original NASL, not the now NASL. Which is a bunch of teams that broke away from the USL. Awwww to hell with it. I'll just stick to college...

Now we sit back and wait to see where they're seeded in the conference tournament to see if they get a home game or two.

I've heard AFC Cleveland will be affiliated with a historic English football club. Hmmm, Randy Lerner's Aston Villa?

That's the old leagues. The new ones (WFL, USFL, MLS) and some expansion teams use a lot of cutesy non-verbal team names (Crew, Fire, Revolution, Union, Galaxy). Especially in soccer, for some reason.

Zips Hockey plays it's last two regular season home games this weekend. Friday at 9:40 vs. Dayton, and Saturday at 4:00 vs. Cincinnati. If this weather keeps up, they'll be able to play at the Info...

No doubt. "Akron Assault" sound better. Or the name I've been using in FIFA, "Akron Attack".

Looks much nicer than the LeQuitter signs, if there are any that didn't get swiped for scrap yet...

I think you nailed it. I think there's blame on both sides.

and maybe had it within a month of the actual championship.

The Zips have seven home games scheduled for Canal Park. The four game March homestand (vs. Western Michigan and Malone), May 4 vs. Pitt, May 10 vs. WVA, and May 19 vs. Can't State. Interesting. It's handy having the games on campus, I catch them between classes sometimes. But having a comfortable place to watch them is a plus too.

They had to make a lot of lineup changes since before the break, and need some time to jell. Not easy when you just moved up to D2 this season. But they played tough all night. Two more home games remain, Feb 4th and 5th against Dayton and Cincinnati. They have five road games within Ohio and a couple against Kentucky to close out the season.

X's and O's with the Pros at night on KNR. Best local show out there. And of course, typical KNR, they only get an hour while the RBS (Really Bad Show) gets an extra hour to listen to Rizzo's contrived arguments with Hammer and Ned. It was a funny entertaining show, until the personalities of the combatants became the only show. I can only take Jim Rome in small portions. The minute he starts on his horse, repeats the same semi funny joke over and over, or gets off a decent interview and then reads Clone mail about how it was the greatest ever for the next 2 hours, I'm done. The afternoon guys on 1350 aren't bad. Not as good as when they started IMO. If you would have told me 20 years ago I would miss Peter Brown I'd have said you were nuts.

Want to drive the big schools out of the NCAA and have them start their own league? That is exactly what would happen if they did this. I don't want to "hurt" any school for spending years being successful. There is an old saying that if you took all of the money in the world and divided it equally, at some point, the rich would figure out how to be rich again. If you divided all of the schedules equally, the non-BCS schools would find a way to screw it up and the big schools would still have a money advantage. I remember when Ohio State agreed to play at San Diego State. That spring, San Diego State announced the game would be played in Columbus, Ohio because they could make more money there as the away team than they could off their entire home schedule. Why do you think the Ohio MAC teams take turns going there? Here's a hint: it aint because they think they can win. Schools like tOSU make a bundle with their home games, but they make the small school's budget a lot bigger too...

Cool. You may get to see me fall on my ass. I'm the EMT/Trainer. I hang out on either side of the penalty boxes.

Zips Hockey Friday night vs. the Pittsburgh Panthers. Face off is 9:50 at Center Ice. Admission $3 (free for students). Akron comes in at 8-7, good for 4th in the league. After Friday the "Road Warriors" don't play at home until February. For full details visit https://sites.google.com/site/uakronhockeyc...keyclubteamhome

What's the latest on these guys signing with MLS or going over$ea$?

Final tally, if I have this right... Round One 2. Darlington Nagbe to Portland 3. Perry Kitchen to DC United 4. Zarek Valentin to Chivas USA 7. Kofi Sarkodie to Houston 8. Michael Nanchoff to Vancouver Second Round 31. Chris Korb to DC United 33. Anthony Ampaipitakwong to San Jose

Ampi to San Jose. We done.

Korb to DC UNited

Yeah, getting it spotless now. Nine picks into the second round and Ampi is still on the board. Didn't see that coming...

I can't get the feed

Just got DirecTV today, and Nate was tearing them up tonight. Very neat seeing him play again. Looks like he may have put on 5 or 6 ounces, too... lol You just never know, as awful as the Cadavers are, he might see time on the big league team this year. Especially with the injuries...

BUT when it hits $5.00 and $6.00, that HSR that the other states have will look awful good... Could you show me some source for your prediction that gas prices will go up that high and that it would have any relation to high speed rail? Honestly, if you have it, I truly would like to see it. When is that predicted to happen? Show me where the world is NEVER going to start running out of petroleum. And I never said the price of gas has anything to do with HSR. But WHEN petrol goes up, for any of a bunch of reasons, it sure would be nice to have an alternative mode of transportation. Ohio is so stuck in the past I can't stand it. There are still people all over Ohio waiting around for the steel mills to open back up. WAKE UP. It's not the 50's anymore. There's a reason most of the worst rust belt wastelands are in Ohio and people are leaving everyday...
