probably. it opened last year I believe.

I believe the new south campus resident hall will be named grant, thus replacing the old grant. Surely they wouldnt tear the old one down??? (even though its pretty crappy)

Listening to that interview gets me excited. Can't wait for the home opener against UCF. As for JT, I really wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in getting Jamel Turner.

What did Barca win this year? Go Chelsea

Jim Tressel might have a greater impact on UA than Lebron does. Really though, lets remember our coach is TERRY BOWDEN. I wouldnt be surprised with any transfer he brings to us.

this. Im not going to be naive here. If he has been shot at two different times, he was clearly with the wrong people. All I have to say is that I hope he has turned himself around. He COULD be a great grab for the Zips.

yeah, im sure KD is going to bring Lebron along with him . If all you have is hypothetical situations (which is all Lebron supporters seem to have), that tells me all I need to know.

Im quite curious to hear an explanation for this reasoning. If true, would that not mean a place like Harvard would be cheaper than a place like UA ?

They can't. We are just "wrong". No evidence to back up their claims.

Eh...during the beginning of this school year, it seemed that crime South of campus was as bad as it's been since I've been here (I believe I even posted in a thread about it). However, I don't believe I've gotten a single email from the University Spring Semester. They'll usually email when a murder, robbery, etc happen near campus. Seems like there is an increase in police and the UPA has their own patrol vehicles now along with guards, cops, whatever you want to call them walking the streets daily. I'm actually done with all of my English classes at UA. Just a typo

Only cynics would see this as a bad thing. I mean its not like we have some rowdy atmosphere where there are going to be riots or anything or students arent sneaking in liquor already or anything (oops).

this is getting repetitive, but I'll ask again. link? Surely if it has such a great impact, it would have been mentioned somewhere. I mean, if the Washington Post has enough time on their hands to write an article about somebody guarding Lebron James in practice, surely they would have time to post about the huge impact he has on our program lol. Besides, any player who comes here because we have Lebron gear or because Lebron tweets about us once a blue moon, isnt a player I want playing for my program.

I seen Coach Tressel walking near the corner of Allyn and Wheeler today while on my morning run.

yeah, because he doesn't have a relationship with guys like Jared Sullinger and John Calipari.

Awesome!

You are correct. They don't pay for their gear. They get their gear "free" but in return they must wear it (advertise). With or without Lebron we would be getting "free" gear.

1. Bron has probably attended as many, if not more OSU games than Akron's. He tweets about OSU just as much. How are we "his team." His camp?? Yea, he's taking it to Las Vegas, and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't bring it back. None of these "elite HS players" that he has brought to Akron have chosen to play here. How does that benefit us? He's talked up KD..these high school recruits don't sit on the internet all day and read SI articles. He didn't "buy" them anything. That would be illegal. He sponsors the team. If he didnt, we would be getting the same "free" gear from adidas, nike, or whatever. Nobody him being associated isn't in anyway beneficial to the University, but him saying a nice sentence or two about his HS coach in an SI article doesn't benefit us in anyway, let alone be "invaluable" or "priceless" publicity. Nobody who read that article is going to change their opinion on Akron.

show me a link. The burden of proof is on all of you. Capn' Kangaroo's link proved no such thing. I admire that he gives back to UA, shows up here a few times a year, etc. However, stating this publicity as being priceless if just asinine.

link to a recruit who has chose to play for UA because Lebron shows up here a few times a year?

I'll care about this "invaluable" publicity when it actual benefits the University in some way.

and there he goes!

nah. 2nd, 3rd at latest.

Bleacher report is a joke. I thought everybody knew that?

yep. I follow a few Akron accounts on twitter. Not sure what is the "official" one (even though I'm guessing its @FollowTheRoo). Whoever is in charge needs to get rid of the diffusion and focus on a single account.

Lyons is a heck of a player that could easily play at any major program. Wishful thinking about him coming to Akron, not going to happen.
