what's your point?

Appreciate it, Doc. Just seems like that would be a natural thing to include in an article and I wouldn't think that the coaches would want to conceal the names of players competing for positions. I also noticed on the depth chart that Bullard and Fazio are the top 2 listed at RT currently. IIRC, both are seniors who have played sparingly throughout their career. My ignorant opinion is that either one of them starting may not be a good sign. Then again, maybe one of them could put together a nice senior year.

I'm probably just being picky, but I would really like to know the 4 players who will be competing at center and the 3 who will be competing for RT. Austin Sample, a walkon as far as I know (and listed at 200lbs), is apparently 1st string center based on the depth chart in the spring prospectus. I have a little trouble buying that.

that is one hell of a field. we are probably the worst program there,

I'm pretty good at putting 2 and 2 together, especially when certain commenting styles on here and other places are so obviously similar, and I do not see Mr. Dre's name on this list. Must be a mistake. https://www.uakron.edu/development/honor-roll/index.dot?letter=B&donor_type=indiv

Dre seems like the type of guy that would dwell in the sewers otherwise known as the ohio.com and cleveland.com comment sections.

Yeah...maybe Tenn Zip is onto something about it wearing him out. He has been everywhere. Money shouldn't be an issue so why not take a pay cut and enjoy life again?

This blows!

No notable omissions from the roster it looks like. Good to see.

I feel like it has to be an internal promotion if nothing has been done yet.

This seems to be academic focused rather than sports and does not show the $ amount of contributions. https://www.uakron.edu/development/honor-roll/index.dot?letter=K&donor_type=indiv I was unable to find anything like that for the Z Fund, which I suppose is the reason I created this thread - to learn more about who has the power behind the scenes on the sports side. If I were a betting man, I'd bet @Hilltopper and @skip-zip can provide some input there...

Not a bad article by GT, to be honest. Bowden singling out the #2 QB (and a R. Freshman at that) as the having the most impressive offseason is a really good thing to read. Seems we will be set no matter what ends up happening at that position. I don't like hearing the Suggs news at all. @94zipgradI can't help but think you just dropped us another "hint". I like to be a little more direct - Is Robbie Kelley no longer on the team and/or did Johns leave/continue with the change of position?

Just insane. I'm bummed I didn't see the game. First 16 seed win over a 1 seed in history.

We all know that money rules the world. We know T. Boone Pickens basically runs Oklahoma State. Phil Knight and Oregon. The Wexner's and OSU. What I think we generally don't know is who the affluential people are that can make stuff happen at the University of Akron. Part of the issue with Scarborough was that he rubbed people the wrong way and we lost donations. Those seem to be going back up now under President Wilson. Who are the movers and shakers that influence important decisions at the U? I'll start the list, feel free to add or argue why someone shouldn't be included as necessary. I'm certain there are some businessmen I'm not aware of. Lebron James - Obviously not an alumni (yet anyways), but the global icon and soon to be billionaire has partnerships with the U and has remained connected in one way or another since high school. Matt Kaulig - Former Zips QB, race team sponsor, and successful businessman as the owner of LeafFilter. His involvement with the U and football program is well documented. Jason Taylor - NFL Hall of Famer who has dabbled some in the entertainment industry. Estimated NW of 25 million. Don't think he is very involved behind the scenes at the U, but there is at least a little bit of relationship there and I think his words would have power. Goodyear/Quaker Oats/Knight Foundation founders and descendants are or have been involved. Other names to consider who I am unsure of their net worth/involvement/power: Joe Gingo (CEO of A. Schulman) Yvette Nicole Brown (actor) Mary Taylor (Lt. Governor of Ohio, Governor candidate, former state auditor) Dan Auberbach/Patrick Carney (Black Keys) Chase Blackburn (nice NFL career) Domenik Hixon (nice NFL career) Jerry Hollendorfer (accomplished horse racer) Sandy Pianalto (Former president of the Fed. Reserve of Cleveland) Younger alumni who could maybe be players down the road: Alex Bliss (Alexis Kaufman) - WWE wrestler/champion, former cheerleader. DeAndre Yedlin/other professional soccer players Jatavis Brown

He's got another chance to really impress with Kentucky up next.

WHEW.

They're coming for us. Hmm.....

That wasn't just an upset win. That was an ass kicking. I'm beginning to think the MAC might be better than perceived.

Congrats to Buffalo. They went out and kicked a blue blood's ass who just might have the #1 draft pick on their team. I want Buffalo to keep winning. Means a better chance Nate Oats is gone. He's been very impressive, even moreso than Hurley.

Buffalo off to a hot start. Not sure if I should root for them or against them.

Any many of us definitely thought it was a possibility throughout the season.

Damn that was quick.

Sometime around the tourney I read something about Steinbrecher wanting to scrap divisions completely and going to a 22 game conference schedule.

i might have to make use of it for the first time ever on a message board.

The A-10 is down troll and the MAC is better using your favorite measuring stick - RPI. Only 2 teams would have been in if it weren't for Davidson winning the tournament. HOW AWESOME. Get a life and don't forget to put your season ticket deposit for the Dookies down, troll.
