Spin

I can see D getting him back on the team. from everything he said after the incident

Abreau pled guilty to felony possession today. Will you cheer him when he comes back?

Gee and Spanier held college football back to their elitist ideals for decades. They built and maintained a world of only a dozen or so programs eligible for the National Championship and the Heisman. These two asshats finally falling by the wayside is the first step to college football becoming a sport for everyone. Not just the "legacy" schools. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Gord.

Continued conversation: Richard Cotton Will you join back up later? It would be great if you did. 31 minutes ago · Like Mike Spinelli What are your plans now? 30 minutes ago · Like Akron Fire USFL We still hope the USFL at some point will add independent teams 6 minutes ago · Like Richard Cotton So you are still interested then? I thought they said they were looking for 3 indies. So what the hey? 4 minutes ago · Like Akron Fire USFL We are looking at a few other league. We do feel that there are still some great opportunities out there for us and we are working on some plans of our own stay tune. about a minute ago · Like

Well, it won't be the USFL. 7 minutes ago on Facebook: Akron Fire USFL We see that the USFL will be going with 5 league owned Teams and no independent teams we wish them the very best and hope the can build a strong successful league. Guess they have to find another league now?

Saw that. Several years too late IMO. That doushbag should have been fired long ago.

You mean we could someday be back to watching college students again someday?

Zeke came because of the engineering program IIRC, but I agree with what you're saying. What has LeBron done for the program that didn't have his name all over it?

And that would be different from the post-LeBron era how? The team was better with Ted Stepien making trades. and rich.

What does the level of the football team have to do with wanting an arena that doesn't sit empty 325 days a year? Division I-AA is still Division I.

Ironic coming from the guy who wants the MAC and WAC to play football in the spring.

Another thread full of naysayers without a bit of evidence. You guys crack me up. I was looking for the perfect set-up and Donaghy came through. Is he making it all up? YOU DON'T KNOW. The only people who DO know aren't saying anything. So all the chest thumping and joke making isn't going to prove shit. I think you're afraid he's right.,

An arena would do the same thing for E. Exchange that Canal Park did for S. Main. And how would that be bad for campus life? Well, if there were more than 20 real events there.

The same guy who fixed LeCav's Game Three against Boston?

I expected as much. You probably laughed at Canseco too. I did.

Could be, since there's more chance of Donahue being right than Akron building a new gym in this economy.

Could it have been a payoff? Or a setup for AA not laying down? Makes you wonder about Cooper's disappearance too. I already thought the NBA was fixed (allegedly) but never considered college. Makes sense though. Younger guys, not being paid, billions of gambling dollars (especially on the Tournament). Things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Yeah, I'm working 8 hour days for the first time in years while I orient at MetroHealth, and caught it on my way home. I can't wait to get back on 12's...

Where did the guy go who was working on the designs?

First you have to listen to the interview to understand what I'm talking about. Again that's no a prereq here to actually listen to the other person you think you disagree with, but just humor me. Then you have to decide whether he is completely full of crap, or if there's at least some truth to what he's saying. I know it'd difficult, but that's how you have a real discussion.

We're already in Lakewood though. Let's build it in Ravenna.

After listening to Tim Donaghy's interview on Bull and Fox today, I got to wonder if there were more to the Abreau story than what we've heard. He talks about how the NBA uses referees to "fix" games, how players would make sure they won games (under the spread), how big time college basketball is involved, and how organized crime, extortion, drugs, etc are involved. First off, after listening to the interview podcast avail here and possibly reading his book, do you think he's full of crap? And (like Bull said), did you think Jose Canseco was full of crap too? And second, could this Abreau deal somehow be related somehow?

Not only that, but you want to bring alumni and others ONTO campus. There are so many reasons for this (and I know someone will find one they can micro-pick apart so I won't list them). Otherwise they might as well have built the Info in Kenmore.

...and I still like the Kelly Ave. site. Although, putting it across Derby Downs Rd from the Rubber Bowl would be cool, so we can have double headers with the Akron Fire. Plenty of parking, and we could have Big Foot driving around the BMX track. Lots of "green space" to tie the dogs out too, during the dog show.

Everyone wants to key on one minute example of what it could be used for, ignoring all the others. What's the point in trying to have a meaningful conversation here? "Hey, we should build a Student Union." "That's a waste of money, building a new building for four pool tables. There aren't that many people who want to watch pool." "These kids these days want EVERYTHING. Now they want pool tables!!! Spoiled brats." "Dayton had pool tables, but took them out. It detracted too much from the darts." "Does anybody know how much it would cost to add pool tables to your typical Student Union??? We wouldn't have to make the building any bigger, but by god it would quadruple the price of the whole complex I tell ya!!!" "I don't like billiards. Keep it out of there!!!" "What we need to do is build the Student Union now, and then later build another building for three pool tables." "Whatever the bowling instructor wants I want. If he doesn't want pool tables in there with the bowling lanes, neither do I."
