I'm sure our locker rooms are sweet, ask someone on the team...

Plenty of thoughts on that subject before iCoach was announced, just use the search button. Nov 9, 2009 Coaching Thread Nov 16, 2009 Coaching Thread I love reading through these old threads. Everybody knows some credible source who told them this and that. You beat me to it. I was about to do the same thing. Yeah, none of us are coaches or AD's. I think we could have done a better job though. As an AD, I certainly wouldn't have hired a recruiting coordinator from a losing program whose HC was just fired. As the coach, I certainly couldn't do worse than losing every game and getting destroyed doing it. Wow, how exactly are you related to TW or icoach? I never said I was related and I couldn't do a better job. Next time there is an open coaching position at UA, go try to get that job! I'd love to see them laugh right to your face...

Name a coach you would have rather had, with a legitimate chance to hire and don't give me any of that Mount Union crap I have to hear about... there's a reason none of you are ADs or coaches. Just because you are a fan you don't know more than them. Of course I don't agree with some of RI's play calling and I HATE losing. But think about it, this is not his team yet. He did not recruit a majority of these people. A good coach can't win if he doesn't have a good team, and he absolutely can win if his team doesn't care about winning. Not you, but actual Zips fans should stick behind our team, we ARE NOT band wagon fans like those from OSwho.

I mentioned it in a different thread Are you kidding??? the 5 straight run plays in the 1st quarter (1st and goal at the 1) didn't excite you. But you can't blame RI, if the run didn't work the first 4 times, who would have thought the 5th time wouldn't work either? Throw a play action pass at least once...they knew the run was coming every time!

Yeah, and on defense...who would thought that #83 for WM would be able to continue catching wide-open passes after the first, oh, half dozen burns? I wonder if #83 was ever even mentioned at halftime. But this is nothing new with Ianello. There ARE no in-game adjustments, so if a team wants to keep going to the same well...ROCK ON, baby! It's like we have a blind man on our sidelines. Or at least clueless. Even Eric Wright could have covered #83...

Glad to see Michigan's cheering section of 5 fans made the trip, bunch of loudmouths wouldn't shup up at the beginning of the game. Looks like we shut them up...

People need to stop complaining. If you want to be a fair weather fan, go root for Ohio State...

dear Steelers fans get rid of rothlisberger he is a rapist

Their "tradition" is alive and well today in Pittsburgh. James Harrison is a real good example of a Can't State athlete. Josh Cribbs is a good example in the other way (talks with the grammar of a 4 year old) but at least he's not a classless loser. Which hit would you describe as classless? I assume that's what you're talking about. The one on Cribbs, he was a running back at that point, so totally legal. Or the one on Massaquoi, when he took 3 steps before getting hit by Harrison? Anyways, I would describe him as more of a winner than a loser. At least Can't sucks though, I'll agree on that Neither hit was legal. They were cheap shots and Harrison deserves to be fined! Cribbs was already going down, so he lead with his head and wend right into the side of his helmet. MoMass was exactly the same as the TJ Ward hit he got fined for. Just goes to show you the extremes a team goes to in order to win. I guess the Browns could have targeted the steelers running back, but we're not that kind of team. We don't feel the need to knock guys out of the game to win. Want a comparison, remember Singletary's punch on Linhart? Punch our best player? refs missed it until they looked at the replay...wanted to ignore it... Can't state is classless the steelers are classless oswho is classless

It's a RIVALRY game, of course they are going to get people there. I bet you all the rest of their games will be empty. Ticket prices do not keep people away, a bad team will. If someone wants to go to the game $5 and $15 is not a big deal. That's like saying I'm going to pay $45 to watch the Browns, but not $55. Don't blame our marketing/athletic dept we have a terrible team, just leave it at that. It's the process of coming to the game, parking, walking, sitting on hard bleachers, poor weather, and a bad team. It's not the money, it's the thinking "do we really want to go all the way there to just watch them lose again?" and the answer will always be NO. Another pro example, look at the Indians attendance this year. Terrible! Do you blame their marketing dept or ticket prices? no, they are terrible, but guess what when the Yankees come to town they draw a large crowd. It was a rivalry game, so people are going to be there. A good team fills the house, a bad one empties it. Everyone knows Akron has a football team, and they know all too well how bad we are. Until that changes, no one will go to the games, even if it's free.

Ampi's in 2nd place now...really some person from Elon is in first. We need to step it up, no way that Ampi should lose to this guy...

The difference is that we suspend our players for more than one game for minor transgressions while they either do nothing or suspend them for a single game for getting out-and-out arrested. Exactly, I don't understand why it is so difficult for them to comprehend the difference....

I love how the Can't fans on Ohio.com are trying to act like we're all criminals. As bad as this is, isn't it different when a player gets suspended by his actual team, as opposed to being arrested. Or are they just too stupid to realize the difference? I don't know but that Fred guy on there needs to be punched in the face too. I love how he spends his entire life posting negative things on Zips articles. I guess it must suck being a 40 year old pizza delivery guy living in his mom basement....

dude you're just proving out point that OSwho fans are all idiots... half buck half flush

People wonder why I hate the Suckeyes so much. I love the whole "you don't like them because they're good" response from those fans. This video just adds to the hatred. - You have soccer players blast the ball right at an opposing players face, after play has stopped. Your coach supports this? - a starting quarterback who shows up to a ROSE BOWL dinner with his thugs wearing freaking jeans? - Trying to sue OHIO university, for using the word OHIO and anything with an O on it. - You steal license plates from any cars from Michigan. - you have fans that claim to be lifelong fans just because they went to their local walmart and buy a knock off red jersey. - I see a million OSwho shirts on campus every day, when you are clearly a student at UA why not just wear a Can't shirt? anything else i missed?

Randy Rhodes and Kurt Cobain just rolled over in their graves being likened to a Karaoke winner. nirvana?

I'm going to extend my garage analogy out to the nearly absurd here, but...you also don't build the nice new fancy garage so that you son's garage band can practice in it and you so you can host back-yard barbeques. Look at some of the musicians CSU hosted up there....off the top of my head I remember hearing about Jay-Z and Carrie Underwood. There's no reason why that can't be us...

People don't realize a new arena could be used for more than Zips sports. High schools and obviously the cavs, Lebron's crap, concerts, and other events and shows. It's not just 3 sports. Why do you think Summa and Infocision payed millions? for a stadium that houses a team that won't win a game this year? No. Infocision stadium is the largest and nicest stadium in this area, an arena could have the same effect. It would be "the place" to have BIG events.

... chairbacks for all, PLEASE?!?! I've pretty much accepted the fact they will not be building a new arena for some time. But they can renovate! I would like to see them get rid of the track first, knock out some walls, expand the seating behind the baskets, add ribbon boards like at InfoCision, maybe a new jumbotron, chairbacks throughout, add suites and press boxes, and some exterior imporvements to make it look like an actual arena. Is that too much to ask for? haha

Always a good day when Fred gets schooled!

Oval designs are better than circle arenas. Notice there's a ton of space between the front row at center court and the actual sidelines. The UCF Arena is a better arena to use as inspiration. Oval/square design, two levels and all chair backs. They are also a public school and have just recently built a new football stadium.

It's 2010 NO ONE cares about race any more. He makes it seem like everyone who hates him is a racist...really? So what were Cavs fans last year when we worshipped the ground you walk on. Please Lebron, if you want to associate yourself with Akron and UA, could you please use some class. No one cares what race you are, we care that you are being a jacka** and have angered about 9/10 of the US by being that way. Think about this one you "king": Do people hate Art Modell because he's white?

People wonder why so many hate OSU fans...
