I haven't been posting layely as much as I was in the past, or going to as many games. I know some will say I'm not a "true fan", that doesn't bother me. I have a lot of ways of spending my leisure time, I prefer not to spend it all pissed off. We should have won a lot more games than we have the past few years. But, SSDD. Hope you come back GP, agree or disagree our discussions and arguments always made me think. I'm gonna miss that. Best of luck to ya.

C-USA makes sense for football and maybe basketball and soccer. But what about the other sports? Would it pay off enough to cover transportation of track, volleyball, softball etc to El Paso and San Antonio and Florida compared to Kalamazoo and DeKalb? OTOH couldn't the baseball and softball teams play a lot of ther conference away games in March when it's warm in the bottom half of the conference?

Everyone's sidestepping the issue of being able to tailgate with other people and attacking the smaller point of the cost to park away from other tailgaters. Myself I've never tailgated at the Info because of that. I can barbeque and play lawn games with the boys at home and not have to drag all that shit around. Or in a park. Either is better than doing it in an empty parking lot.

For a new arena???

And look at all that floor space

As I've said several times, nobody has asked me. Has anyone else been asked? If they won't ask, I won't volunteer...

How many peeps are there? ESPN3 isn't showing the home 'stands.

UMass took apart Can't State.

Not to mention the best in those countries will continue to play here in our major leagues. And coaches (reference the Cavs). They are minor leagues to the North American franchises.

Seriously??? Do you really think Maccabi Tel Aviv belongs on the same court as the San Antonio Spurs??? Or Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles should play in the World Series??? And the Super Bowl should have included the Saskatchewan Rough Riders??? I've seen a LOT of hyperbole in this thread but this is downright hilarious.

Wait, is this a replay of 2011?

Well we didn't get skunked...

I don't see how that first quearter could have gone any worse. We let Marshall run up 200 fricken yards in one quarter. Penn State would eat Marshall for lunch.

Apparently Can't State is out.

From the article I read they will be using dorms. Shit storm about the browns wearing out the carpet in the dorms commencing in 3... 2... 1...

Wonder if the suckers I MEAN Rubber Bowl owners are looking at this? http://www.sidearmer.com/new-football-league-coming-soon-no-kickers-allowed/

I just don't understand how it is possible to have a pristine playing surface yet be clueless and unable to maintain that. When you see Cleveland Browns Stadium before a game, it's like a golf course. Agree on the arena 1000% BTW.

If you're going to keep pounding Ianello down our throats as some reason the Browns shouldn't practice here, show us your messages right after he was hired that you knew he would be a failure and how stupid you thought Wistercill was back then. Maybe you'll get your way and Cowlumbus or Can't will get the camp and you can rest comfortably looking at empty facilities that the University is spending $$$ maintaining. Think small, be small.

When I was in highschool looking at colleges UA was dead last on my list as well. The first time I ever saw the campus by going to my sister's graduation which just so happened to be on the campus of The University of Akron. I remember how impressed I was, thinking "this isn't as bad as I heard it was". Never looked back. I personally was accepted into three different schools. We all know which one I picked. Don't hold your breath waiting on them to answer you. I've brought that up three times now and they skate right around it.

I thought it was great having the LeBron welcome party and the Browns Family Night on campus. I think it would be awesome having thousands of people who would not otherwise see what UA really is, walking on campus every day for two weeks. I want to see enrollment start trending upward again. I want to see the U break the community college stigma it has in NEOhio. I look for ways of getting asses on campus, that's why I believe in an on-campus arena that hosts many other events, getting asses on campus and creating revenue on an otherwise money pit for the U. (Just like the Browns training camp could). I'm proud of where I graduated. I'm proud of the National Championship too, but I am not convinced having training camp here would ruin the program forever. BTW there are threads about this week's football and soccer games. But most people are like minded in those threads. It's where there's a difference of opinion that a thread often takes off.

Has anyone calculated the price of the publicity and "eyes on campus" that such an event (check that, 14 events) would provide? Each one in Berea had >8000 eyes. A camp with more capacity and centrally located in the market could draw a lot more daily. Or are we still ignoring the concept?

Making fun of screen names now. How mature. Insults and skewered stats (insulting other sports that draw far more TOTAL fans) I've had enough. I try not to take troll bait anymore. Go on ahead with your bad self. Maybe you'll get what you want and Can't will get all the publicity and fannies on campus. And you won't have to lose sleep hoping the grounds crew can fix a few divots from those lizards. Have fun with that,

I hope so, that would be a great fit!!!

How many more attend training camp?

Multiple threads demeaning and insulting a favorite sport and a favorite team of other posters does not do anything for your cause. Unless your cause is to piss people off and divide the alumni.
