  1. Imagine Can't being the one missing. Their idea of headline news is a swim team from the 1970's...
  2. What a great role model too. Hope he grows roots in Akron.
  3. Louisville was tougher than Michigan ever hoped to be.
  4. THIS ONE IS OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!
  5. The library today is mostly used as a large study area with some books. It's a place you can study with friends and classmates away from the noise and chaos of the student union. You can also borrow textbooks from there, if you don't feel like buying them. Maybe it's the courses I'm taking, but the textbooks they do have are unable to be checked out. And you can only read them in-house for 2 hours at a time. I have had them brought in from other schools through OhioLink, but one I was three days late returning and wound up with a $50.00+ fine. The whole textbook thing is a sore subject for me...
  6. I don't know what happened to the old GoZips website, but the hockey team is back on the internet at https://sites.google.com/site/uakronhockeyc...keyclubteamhome Next home game is tomorrow (Saturday) at 4:00 at Center Ice. It's the last home game before Christmas break.
  7. As much as I HATE to say it, I realized last night why LeBron left. What a freakin joke of a basketball team...
  8. Even us old farts can yell and cheer with the best, when we decide to. Look no further than the soccer games or the Cavs games the past few years for a reference. When you've been through the decades of heartbreak and outright "same old shit, different season" we have, THEN you can criticize us.
  9. This is the thinking that drives college football, and will hold back anybody but about a dozen programs for anything (championships, awards) as long as these elitists are in control. He likes to brag about how strong the Big Ten schedule is. But the bottom half of the Big Ten would have a real challenge in the WAC, MWC, CUSA, or MAC. Why should the 104th and 105th rated programs in the country be eligible for stuff the 3rd and 4th rated teams are? Just because of their conference? If the conference is the only problem, let these schools into the "legacy" conferences and drop some of the dead weight. They don't WANT anyone outside the big 4 or 5 conferences to be able to show what they're capable of. They just might be that good. I'm glad college basketball isn't controlled by these elitists...
  10. How could he do that, there shouldn't be any bad elements left after JD got rid of them all, which is the reason he used for sucking.
  11. It think there's some growth, whether it ever moves into the top four I don't know. It's making strides, but we'll need more than just the 2010 WC to keep the momentum going. I also think the haters are going to hate and will never change. That's nothing against the sport, each one has it's detractors. They just happen to like the popular sports and want to criticize everyone else. If it were the other way around... So we criticize a sport because an athlete is 5'8 and not built for basketball or football. That's a reach... Maybe Zeke wanted to play soccer but was too tall and uncoordinated. Does that mean basketball is stupid? Maybe we should compare attendance figures within UAkron...
  12. We have a saying in car racing. "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch."
  13. You know what, you can have your rivalry with Cleveland, it's all well and good. But LeLoser made an ass out of all of us. Not just Cleveland. To warm my old quote back up, Just because you're from Akron doesn't mean I have to like you.
  14. NOW he asks "What should I do"? Things would have been a LOT different if he had asked that question before his hour long prime time SCREW OHIO FEST. Here's what you can do. Go to he!!.
  15. For schtinking up the league, going somewhere else, and THEN putting together a championship team? It's the NEOhio way...
  16. Minnehaha as well Minnesota is pretty much Akron's Big Ten twin brother. Never can seem to get it going, rarely show signs of being anything better than mediocre at best. Both open new stadiums during the same year and lose to a FCS team on the same day. Think we can schedule them?
  17. If the team was well coached, and were just outplayed, I'd be the first to say he doesn't have his guys in yet. It's going to take time. But a drive killing illegal procedure (after several last week) is inexcusable at this level. It's not new systems, it's not trying to put lipstick on the pig handed over by JD. It's the most basic freaking fundamentals. Line up where you're suppose to be. OMG the QB is under center now. So that means position players can't figure out where in the hell he's suppose to be lined up??? We have to use the same simple formation play after play year after year? That's on the coaches. It should have been remedied in camp. And it certainly should have been fixed after Syracuse. But it wasn't and it cost us a drive. That took the wind out of the team. Playing a 2 deep zone all day, the GW cheerleaders could game plan that. No adjustments whatsoever, on either side of the ball. Missed field goals. A FG blocked by a I-AA school with 4000 students. Yes they're a good I-AA school, ranked 193 in the country. We were 173rd AND at home. We just plain got out-coached.
  18. http://www.sportsradio1350.com/main.html It's a few seconds behind NeuLion, but much better info.
  19. Really? Still can't line up?
