I think the FUBAR called the Bowling Green game set up the expectations we have now. And for the most part, the Ohio game just backed them up. ...from a team that won the division title and went to a bowl game last season. Blaming the fans or soccer is a bit myopic.

Just got home and started watching the game on DVR. Wish I had read the thread first, would have saved me some indigestion. Somewhere iCoach is snickering.

Well that was 4 hours of my life I'll never get back. This was the first game I made this year because of work and family. It was like going to games in the iCoach era. The running game was sorry, the receivers were unable to pull in footballs placed in their hands (when the receiver and Kato ran the same play) the play calling left me scratching my head, and wore the defense down by not letting them catch a break. Fans were yelling at the refs for bad calls, that's not what stopped the offense. This is not the team I watched earlier in the season. Unacceptable.

Bob has been officially hired by Chris Sabo as part of his recruiting staff.

If this helps clean up the college basketball cesspool, I'm all for it.

Here's a video I "captured" from a local TV show. I recorded it on my phone, so don't expect ,groundbreaking quality!!! http://www.ohiovalleysystem.com/video-1540835004.mp4

One thing a start-up can offer to recruits is early playing time. Potentially a four year starter gig if you're good and nobody better transfers in during your stint.

From my understanding, we're right at the maximum number of scholarships in NCAA baseball.

So he's going to come in and upstage the Zips. D bag...

Nice hire!!! He brings instant credibility to the team, and a leg up on the rest of the conference. The university is serious about this.

I could watch this again...

I have about as much luck streaming anything as I do getting rich.

Is an ESPN+ subscriber able to watch archived games later? Or is it like ESPN3 and when the game is over, that's it?

I thought we had a reasonable chance. A team that was pretty bad last year with a new coaching staff, new system for the returning players, I heard quite a few "experts" say we would at least cover if not win.

What a way to try out ESPN+. I hope this is no indication of how the season is going to go...

Softball player wants to back out of NLI, because apparently college girls don't drink at Miami Ohio This could have implications for all college sports. Way to keep your word...

So far there are 6 soccer games (all home), and three football games (2 home and one at Kent). I'll probably either be working or at the games. Unless you can watch old games it doesn't make a lot of sense for me. The price isn't bad, but I don't know if I would use it.

I drove by yesterday, and the picture of the heavy equipment tearing down the west stands must have been taken right before they quit and left. That is all they did was dig a hole in the stands under the press box and leave. The press box was not touched. They also put up concrete barricades to try to keep people out. Stay classy Akron. Way to make a crap hole look 10x worse.

The NBA has been a star-driven league for as long as I've been a fan. If it wasn't Magic-Kareem it was Bird-McHale-Parish or Dr. J-Moses. Then Michael-Scottie and Shaq-Kobe and Duncan-Parker-Ginobili. Pierce-Allen- Garnett. The Twin Towers. And now we have the Warriors with FIVE FREAKIN ALL STARS. Now I realize Cleveland fans have been spoiled by the Price-Nance-Daugherty-Harper good guys team, and maybe that's why some despise the Type-A modern superstars like LeBron. But Price-Nance-Daugherty were the exceptions to the NBA mega-star personalities that bring banners to their cities. In fact, I'll go so far as to say it was the goody goody fans who derailed what probably was the best team in Cavs history (and how many banners) by demanding they trade Ron Harper for something that turned out to be false. Be careful what you ask for... Meanwhile, I'll just leave this here...

My grandkids spend HOURS watching YouTube videos. Watching other people play video games. Who would have thought? Then when they play the game themselves, they say the same things the gamers said on the videos.

College Madden tournaments. Might be the answer to the football concussion problem. Hmmm, do I see a way to finance my Masters?

True, my four kids have never had cable. I never understood how, growing up in the 70's and being a teen when the MTV's and VH1's were about music videos. ESPN brought you the game, and relevant news. Patrick and Olbermann. A lot has changed since then!!! And not for the better. Cable TV seems to be more and more geared toward minorities, maybe that is their growth demographic.

The good old days. Borrowed from Akron Rubber Bowl Memories

HE'S WON THREE NBA TITLES. Including the only Cleveland pro championship in my lifetime (and I'm 52). The Cavs were 19-63 the season after he left for Miami. Have fun with that team. They couldn't make the playoffs without him.

We thought about that. We like to watch the local news, but with a small digital antenna you get 10x more local channels than you do with cable.
