Ham

Bob Smith coached South High.

Cycron, there may be other places with a great tailgating experience, but Ames is a happening place. Lot 9 is a really fun spot, but Ames would be Lot 9 X 1,000. I've been working on friends to make the trip with little success. Side trips like 15 mins to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, less than an hour to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, some great craft brewers raise an eyebrow, but no takers so far. Like I said, I'll try for a spot in lot 9(which is theoretically for season ticket holders that are generous donors), but if you can put together a sizable group, there are other lots that could work. There was some silly notion that alcohol would be prohibited, but that was either abandon or just ignored. They were charging $30 for first come single passes to Lot 9, but that's a bargain compared to Ames. c

Right on Balsy! This reminded me when Burkhart reached out to the Kent stud after his season ending injury.

Hello Pot! When I make my annual trip to Akron, It does amaze me that one can park anywhere down town for $1.25 all day. That is a good indicator of all the things going on in the metro. Cykron, I'll be making the trip to Akron as well. Tailgating at the Info? Except for some uninspired efforts, Tailgating is limited to Lot 9. I plan to pay the $30 to try to get a spot there. It's a pretty lively spot pregame, but nothing post game. By the way, a strong PK could almost put an extra point kick into lot 9! Great location.

Balsy, I think you have it right. I hope Williams has lit a fire under some seats, but it should be done privately. If we see some changes this spring, I would like to change my prediction.

It is a bit late to look for a new OC. I look for TB to take a big role on O.

I'm no defensive genius, but I'm confident that I could stop Milwee's O. Milwee seems to lack any regard for his D. So many times when we needed a first down, Milwee continued to go for a home run. Unless Bowden takes more control of the O, I see us under performing there. I don't see any dramatic improvement for our D. Spring ball may reveal some hope there, but I still see our O being a drag there putting our D in a position to fail. I see 1 OOC win and 4 and 4 in MAC. At 5-7, I think Williams will demand some changes or just bring in a new HC. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and we do even better than '15.

I played for Ellet in '61. We were members of the Metopolitan League. Larry played for Stow, also a member. Larry was a Jr that fall, and he went on to Syracuse, Orangemen. Other members at that time included Wadsworth, Norton, Talmadge, Springfield, Coventry, and Kent Roosevelt.

Csonka (sp?) played for Stow.

Matt Campbell has 3 JUCO's signed over the last week or so that will be enrolled for spring semester and out for spring practice. Just thought we might try to shore up some weak spots.

Do we have any JUCO's or transfers enrolling to be here for spring practice? Lots of chatter on QB's! (but that seems to have lost focus)

I had a few min to check on the game before I left last night. Went to video--no sound? Went to live stats--BlueJays 82 - Zips 70??!! When I checked back at 11PM live stats still had Sat's game! At least ESPN had the results.

I would go back to our championship run that fell one game short against the Aces in Evansville.

I've been looking forward to this game. I'll be in Omaha! Last time there, we had no answer for McDermot. I'm ever hopeful that this trip will be better. Akron 82 / Jays 77

I was surprised to see Milwee on the sidelines in the second half. When he continued to go for the home run in the 1st qt, I wanted to reach through the TV and choke him myself. GO FOR A FIRST DOWN!! GET OUT OF THE HOLE!!! I don't know what goes on in practice, but when I watched the team warm up before the Miami game, they had Kato taking some snaps. Why? If they have no confidence in Hoyer, get someone else ready. Our D has come under a lot of fire this year, but I have to say our Offense was our worst Defense, particularly the first half. BG started their possessions near midfield (or inside the 5). There doesn't need to be any big announcement, but if I were TB, I would take over OC duties right now to try to salvage one more win. Loyalty is on thing. Masochism is another.

Helloooooooo?

voodoo! Very creative. I only hope our coaching staff can muster the same level of creativity. Particularly on offense. Offense can be the best defense. What went wrong at Buffalo? We were beat badly in the trenches on both sides of the ball. LB's consistently over played themselves out of position. I hope a little pride will lead to a better result tonight. I don't expect to shut the Rockets down completely. I just look for Woody to bounce back; so we put more points on the board than the Rockets.

I picked the Zips to win. The only way that happens is if Woody has a really big day and the D stops the run.

When I was in school, Greek Week was a big deal. Independent student associations were involved. Why not get some type of competition going with these groups around Homecoming? If we get them in the stadium even for one game having fun, some of them will catch the bug and come back. If the AD staff started soon, next year's Homecoming could start us in a new direction.

A win would have been nice, but this was Aktion Maction!

What ever you do, don't ask anyone here about Akron U!!

Captain, thank you so very much! I'm guessing that your living through raising kids has given you the patience to put up with all of us.

Take this with a grain of salt; I'm from Iowa. I'll be in town for Homecomming weekend and I will be sure to visit the Hopping Frog. On game day, it will only be a short trip to the Thirsty Dawg. I know one does not live on beer alone, but I can get a burger anywhere.

If the MAC continues our success, we could be in a great position when the Big 12 expands. With our ESPN contract, we might find some great programs looking for a home.

I'm just asking. Do they have an 8 year old doing the video with a cell phone?
