anybody else annoyed with the "washed out" floors prevalent in the NBA now? Almost unwatchable on TV. Once the lighting is up.. its hard to look at. Or maybe its just my old man's eyes?

My son goes to a local high school - Stow.. and his buddy is a standout on Freshman-JV teams. He came over last nite and said Akron has offered him at the camp. Will be a sophomore this season. Plays WR and Safety/Corner. He has been going to camps and Nike Showcases. Has interest from Boston College and some other schools. Akron is his first offer. He was excited.

And Elton is worthless as usual. I almost laughed out loud at work when I read the Headline. Four Things I Think..... never thought I'd see those words on an story by Ellen. Four Things I Think - Elton Alexander "3. OK, the one-in-a-hundred chance for the Zips is a lights-out shooting night and double-digit blocks by center Zeke Marshall. It will take 50 percent shooting, 40 percent on 3-pointers, 75 percent from the line . . . plus 35 great minutes from Zeke. Good luck. "

Keith Dambrot Wants Zips to Get to a Higher Level “We have to go into the hornet’s nest like Butler has, and VCU has, and show that we can beat those people,” he said. “But again, we don’t get as many opportunities as they do. And they get some at home that we don’t get. We’re trying to build our name so eventually we get home-and-home with those people, even if it’s not our home, if it’s Quicken Loans Arena and their home. That’s good enough for us. That’s what we need to do to take the next step."

Details please?

To the Newbies: Welcome to our misery. You now have an understanding of what it means to be a Zips fan. Here's a rundown: Football: 3-33 last 3 yrs Basketball: High Expectations since Zeke's arrival. 20+ win seasons. No NCAA or NIT wins and a CBI/CIT 1st round upset at home -- start out this season with a egg-laying loss to Coastal Carolina Soccer: ranked #1, nobody cares or watches soccer, will most likely not win a National Title Track: MAC Champs and some NCAA qualifiers... nobody cares... Baseball: sad Golf: sad Rifle: really??? Meanwhile down the road in Portage County: Football: 8-2 and 6-0 in MAC East -- poss MACC and most likely a Bowl Game Basketball: 20+ win seasons, MAC Titles, Tourney wins in NCAA, NIT and others Baseball: World Series Run Golf: NCAA Tournament. WTF????

New Weatherford High School Logo Story "“The entire process to change and trademark a new logo would take up to a year,” Moore said. “The majority of the delay would be waiting for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to approve the logo.” Moore provided two references and price quotes from professional graphic artists, including a proposal from Joe Bosack of The Joe Bosack Graphic Design Company, who has done work for major professional and collegiate programs like the Colorado Avalanche hockey team, Iowa State University, UNLV, and Mississippi State University. “Bosack’s redesign of the Akron (Ohio) Zips kangaroo logo helped that school’s ‘Fear the Roo’ campaign win a 2005-06 National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Best of Show award for a ‘new revenue-generating idea,’” Moore added."
