He's going to get drafted. No doubt in my mind. Wish the Cavs would work him out.

@fishsports Expect #Mavs to take 2nd-round look at 7-0 center Zeke Marshall from Akron

Did Dalton have other teams that wanted to sign him?

except the guy is from my area, which doesnt surprise me at all

35 million in updating the stadium If there is any insurance for this, I sure hope these guys are getting it.

Not apologizing for anything. Did he go to prison? I dont care what you said, you are the one still holding it against him. Gamechanger went off on me because she misunderstood the post and took it way out of context.

Yeah, lets continue to hold a minor incident that neither of us know the circumstances of against him.

Cooper was pretty cocky and he turned out okay

yep.

I dont know if we were better than Kentucky, but I know Robert Morris is . Nobody is saying we are a better program than them, just that they think we could have competed last season., which I disagree with, but I'm not going to take comments out of context.

Thanks DIG, that's exactly what I meant. Look at my post history, I'm one of the ones who think Zeke will be drafted. Not sure where that rant came from... My comment was in direct response to UAZip regarding the fact that nothing new has happened with Zeke, so I don't understand why he was expecting some new public mock draft "buzz" with him.

You guys are forgetting that OSU won the toughest conference in the nation, and made the elite 8. Before Abreu being suspended, it would have been an interesting match up, but still would have been a long shot to win. With no Abreu, we probably get beat by 20 to them.

what has changed recently that there would be buzz?

Im pretty sure the Odd Corner is still there.

Is raising the funds needed for a new arena in one year a realistic goal? pat: could you be more specific on the changes you want to have the University taken "seriously"? I know you arent a fan of the administration as whole, as well as the student leaders, etc...but that is obviously because they aren't doing something that you want them to do. Curious what it is. From what I have heard, the University has changed drastically over the past 15 years, at least the look of it. sidenote: Saw that Tressel was in Belmont County today talking to kids about the importance of college. May not mean anything to you guys, but coming from Belmont County, many are not informed of the importance of college from their parents. Guys go to the mine, girls go to community college and end up working some desk job.

I like him.

can he play CB?

What an idiot. Sayonara.

I just read a really interesting comment from the article LOZ posted. This is a great idea that I have not thought of before. This would be like the BPL (soccer), in that it gives teams something to fight for if they are in a lower division, and it gives teams something to fight for in the higher divisions if they are out of contention for whatever the new system will be. It would make for some entertaining football. Though, I dont think I would make it just 1 team, I would want the potential for 2 teams with the possibility of a 3rd (such as a 1 game playoff). Note that I think this would be a great idea IF the current model ever came to what is being discussed, not that I am lobbying for it now. Here is a short article I found on it: http://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/footba...legation-in-cfb

I really didnt interpret his post as him saying that not playing on ESPN was the reason, or any part of the reason he was fired. If anything, WMU likes that because they get to have their cake and eat it, too. That being, playing all home games on Saturdays (maximizing their attendance/concessions revenue) and being apart of the MAC and receiving the 300k without playing a mid-week home game.

Well... I am not sure who you are arguing for, the NCAA being a curse to non-BCS programs or ESPN being a curse to BCS programs, but Ill elaborate on both. The current NCAA model is a curse to non-BCS programs because they don't have a fair shot to win the championship before a game is even played. Think about it, is there any other collegiate sport where a mid-major has no shot to win the championship? As for ESPN being a curse to BCS programs (note: this doesnt include Akron)- is that ESPN has a bias to the SEC that is unfair to everybody else in the BCS, which creates an unfair advantage (in my eyes anyways). Yes, with the SEC's success, it makes sense from a business standpoint to do this. However, as ESPN basically being a monopoly, I think it is their duty report impartially and not lobby for the SEC. Not to mention, the SEC has teams (not all) ranked highly every year at the beginning, and undeservedly so (see Arkansas last year) because of what the top teams do. The SEC is a very top heavy league. In fact, the bottom 8 teams went 0-30 against the top 6 teams in the conference in 2012. Im curious as to how many AP voters have any sort of affiliation at all with ESPN....

Well, Im sure if you cared enough to look it up (I dont, because I know Im right), you would find that the deal works out better in favor of a school like Akron than it would at OU. Where the actually numbers in attendance variance between weeknight/weekend games might be a bigger percentage swing in attendance, but a smaller total number, which is what matters, because of our horrible attendance. I would say the NCAA has been a curse to non-BCS programs. ESPN has been a curse to BCS programs.

Webb tore his ACL in the spring. Little to no chance he would make it back for this season.

Wouldnt do him much good when Lebron will only be there for his rookie season.
